Dude...

I realize the coverage of the swine flu is getting out of control (I'm reaching for my Purell bottle more than I care to mention). But come on people, the odds of you getting it are not that great. Just wash your hands, drink some water, and you should be fine. But then we have these idiots who are in a beach in Mexico wearing masks. Seriously? If you are that worried about the swine flu, then here's an idea. Leave Mexico. Get on a plane, and get the hell out of town. Some people are so ignorant and so lame. Or famewhores.

Happy Passover/Easter!

On Friday, I got back from a whirlwind trip to Seattle. It was really fun, and I always enjoy my failed attempts to speak Hebrew and drink plenty of wine. In fact, Dick actually called me out on it when explaining that in the meal, you are actually supposed to drink four glasses on wine. Being called out as a drunk for the greater Seattle area. I guess I can't go back there again... LOL!

Back to reality, I spent the day yesterday shopping with Erica and going to my weigh-in. Passover caused a setback of 2.5 lbs, but I have still lost over 6 lbs. in four weeks, which is still pretty awesome if you ask me.

As for Easter, another Rullo family holiday has come to pass. My brother is out in Nebraska, so of course, he missed out on the festivities. But, plenty of food, the Masters golf tourney, and the Sound of Music (which Anneli cannot get enough of). I did take a much needed nap in the middle of the day, which explains why my sleepiness is not quite what it was earlier.

I also wanted to share a quick Daily Show video on Passover. Oh, how the Passover jokes make me laugh!

Coming up for air...

I guess I updated the blog on Friday, but that seems like a lifetime ago. Work is work. Boring. But I have some decent news to report - I have lost an additional 4 lbs since I re-dedicated myself to WW. Yay! That brings me to a total of 8. I am sure this week is not going to go as smoothly as planned since it is my birthday week. Then next week is Passover... I tend to eat a fair amount when in Seattle anyways. I am sure a Bing's stop will be on the agenda.

Dramz on the homefront. My grandfather has been in a dementia unit for a little while. What we have discovered is they have been overmedicating him. Now, to be fair, as his mental issues have progressed, he has become much meaner. It makes me think that my grandfather would be a mean drunk. It's not that I feel like we can't be around him in his new mental state, it is just that he is not a pleasant guy to be around. I am not letting that be an excuse for what is going on.

Essentially, what happened is this. My grandfather was so medicated that he got out of bed and tried to walk and took a fall. He needed to be hospitalized and rehabbed. Now, the really sad thing is the hospital discharged him yesterday, but there aren't any rehab places that will take him due to his dementia.

Seriously! I am mad that he was overmedicated in the first place. It reminds me of all of those movies you see about psych wards when these patients are medicated just to keep the quiet. That makes me very upset with the way things are going in the medical community. That and my grandfather won't be rehabbed because of all of this.

Not to be a downer, but that seems to be what is going on.

Tonight, Erica and I Zumba-ed. I kinda dig it, even though I am extremely uncoordinated. Okay, its 10:00. I need to get a shower. I'm outz....

No Cavities!

Had an appointment at the dentist this morning. No cavities which is great news. My history of being a stressed out person has caused my teeth to have tiny fractures. Awesome.

For Radka...

I have no comments for this gem...

Down 4.0!

Okay, today was weigh-in Saturday! YAY! I am down 4 lbs. Only... um, a lot more to go. But I will take today as a victory. What is my reward? Laundry... or at least that is what I am doing at the moment. I know you are all jealous.

Is that Kanye?

Phew! What a day... spent a little time doing retail therapy at Target... and found these awesome glasses. I didn't buy them, but man do I look awesome. Um, and nobody should drive wearing these.
