Sorry about the late post. We had a rainstorm last week and it took out the internet tower, so I haven't been able to post.
I finished the blanket that I was working on for Warm Up America. I decided that I was going to give it to the daughter of one of my mom's friends whose house was burned down about three months ago in a fire. She'll be toasty warm in a good way this winter.
I'll take pictures of the blanket tomorrow, so it should be posted soon.
Weight Loss Challenge Update--I've lost 8lbs. Four more weeks to go. Easier than I thought. I've been listening to this book called Skinny Bitch, and once you find out what happens at the dairy farm and the slaughterhouse, you won't want to eat meat or drink milk. At least I didn't. I'll try to cover all the Skinny Bitchness in a later post.
I finished Season 2 of Prison Break and I saw the first episode of Season 3 free on iTunes. Man that Sona place is awful. I'm off tomorrow, so I'm hoping to watch the other two on fox.com today or tomorrow. Then I'll have to watch them in real time with all the other fans. Speaking of iTunes, they now have How I Met Your Mother. Yes! I can't wait to download the Robin Sparkles episode (aka Slap Bet). I've been waiting to download that one since I got my ipod.
New shows--Back to You. I thought this show would be absolutely awful, but it hasn't been so bad. It's predictable, but watchable and my family likes it, and they watched Alias for me so...
Chuck--I am so glad this show is good. I've watched both shows and I loved each one. I've been a Zachary Levi fan since Less than Perfect and I knew that he would do good. And Adam Baldwin rocks.
I think that's all I've seen so far.
I really thought Travis would win I Wanna Be a Soap Star. Yes, his last scene sucked, but is he really worse than Ashley or Bo? Last year Mikey won and he could barely act. I hope they do the episode where the ones who get knocked off get to come back and get a second chance.
The new puppy will be here soon. We went to go see them yesterday. So cute. They have gotten so big, all in the span of a few weeks. I can't believe how much they've grown. Or how much milk their mother had to make for them all to get that big. Wow.
Okay, that's all for now. I should be back in the next few days, with pictures of the blanket, reviews of the season premieres I saw and more randomness.

WeightLossKalCalBlanketBreak
Hi everyone--
I guess I have a lot of things on my plate this week. I guess it's not all of huge importance, but I've separated it all for you.
Weight Loss Challenge:
At work, to raise money for the United Way, those of us that choose are making groups of 10 and joining the Weight Loss Challenge. Basically we're all trying to lose weight over the next six weeks and then the group with the highest percentage of weight lost will win a prize. And that prize...a catered lunch. That's not the prize I care about, though. Hopefully, healthy living will be its own reward. Bye bye Starbucks lattes and frozen custard. Bye bye cake and cookies and cokes. Bye bye salad dressing and butter and french fries. I'll miss you. But what i won't miss is the extra pounds. We did the weigh in this morning and I'm starting out at 223 pounds. My goal for this challenge is 10%, so 22 lbs. The stretch goal (my cousin's wedding next year) is 73lbs. So, here we go...but ice cream is soooo good.
Holiday Kal Cal
I've decided to join my first knit along, the holiday kalcal. I just signed up, but the sign in period doesn't start until 9/22, so hopefully, they'll take my entry. If not, I can just sign up later. I've got a few projects in mind for Christmas, and a project for a baby who will be born the week before Thanksgiving, so I'll have alot on my plate. But I can't wait.
Blanket
The first thing I've got to work on is the blanket I've been working off and on on since the Super Bowl. I've been working on it for Warm Up America. I've had the squares done since April, it's just putting them all together that I'm working 0n now. I'm thinking of sending it to Warm Up America instead of a local charity because I used a chunkier yarn and I think someone up north will get more out of the warmth than someone here. I really should have worked on this in April, because we were having freak snowstorms here and now it is so hot working on that thing it makes me not want to work on it. Once I finish, I will post a picture online.
Prison Break
Because what would a post from me be without a mention of Prison Break, especially when the new season started yesterday. I'm still working on Season 2, so I haven't watched it, but the download was free on iTunes, so as soon as I get those dvds, I can go straight into Season 3. I can't wait. Oh Netflix, bring me some more MICHAEL SCOFIELD. I'm going to Dallas hopefully later this week, maybe I can find my way to wherever there filming...yeah, right.
