I was supposed to be in Michigan this weekend … but a fucking snowstorm ruined it all for me. I haven’t seen my family since Xmas but decided this morning that dealing with ice and several inches of snow just wasn’t worth it, especially when my drive is 300 miles. So, I’m now driving up there Thursday. I’ve had a few offers for Easter dinner but I think I will just stay home … I will get my heathen behind to church tomorrow evening though.

I picked up a few movies from Blockbuster (Why Did I Get Married?, some straight-to-video Jean Claude van Damme movie and No Country for Old Men), went to Books a Million but they didn’t have the book I wanted, went to Bed Bath and Beyond for some coffee for my Tassimo, then gave in and stopped at the grocery on the way home. I had basically zero food since I planned to eat on my parents’ dime this weekend. My clothing supply is extremely limited as well; I’ll be going to the laundromat Monday after work. Le sigh.

One of the things that I’ll have to do as a result of the bariatric surgery is give up carbonated beverage. Sweet, beautiful, bubbly drinks. Le sigh. I get the reason why — those beautiful bubbles will stretch out my teensy tummy — but ugh … I love them so. Caffeine also will have to go bye-bye. I am going to finish up the pop that I have at home and then not buy anymore. I’m doing ok with that, I’m drinking a lot less pop already. Caffeine is another story. That will have to be a gradual process … I did buy some decaf coffee. It’s a start.
