Jamie The Obscure

I, once again, have been neglecting this blog. I just don't seem to have a whole lot to say for myself lately. I spend a majority of my time being angry at one thing and another and I highly doubt anyone wants a part of that action. So, I just keep it to myself and try to hide it as much as possible. When I get angry I tend to not be a very nice person and say things that I usually end up feeling bad for later. I try hard not to be that way, but I sometimes get the feeling that I'm being punished by the universe, though I can't think of what it is I could have done to deserve this karma. Anyway....

On the exercise front, things are moving along. I've lost a few pounds and a few inches. However, I've upped the speed on the torture machine this week and I feel as though someone has rammed burning steel rods into my shins. It's not a pleasant feeling at all. I lowered it today because I just couldn't take it. I suppose I'll have to work up to the whole jogging bit of the festivities. I've still been eating right, which is also killing me. I try to stay positive about it, but it's hard to sit and eat celery when what I really want is chocolate cake. No, no...don't think about it!

So, this weekend ought to be busy. Relay For Life is this weekend and my family participates every year in remembrance of loved ones we have lost to cancer. It's very, very important to me to be a part of this. I've lost too many people to cancer and I feel like this is my way of remembering them and honoring them. If you would like more information on Relay For Life in your area, go to Relay For Life website and get involved!

On a not so serious front, I have to tell you about the wonderful purchase I made yesterday. I don't normally buy myself things because I really can't afford non-essentials, BUT anyone who knows me knows that I have a bad addiction to gadgets and infomercial crap. I've been seeing commercials for this thing called Smooth Away hair removal system and I was so excited about it. Anyone who knows me also knows that I have a huge aversion to body hair on myself. It drives me nuts. Anyway, I really wanted this thing but didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to order it online, so I didn't order it. However, yesterday when I was at Wal-Mart (hate Wal-Mart but sometimes it is a necessary evil) I noticed that they had them, so being who I am I bought one. I brought it home, followed the instructions and WOW! I love this thing. Not only does it remove the hair, it exfoliates the skin. My legs are so freakin' smooth now I can't quit touching them lol. If you get the opportunity I would suggest investing $10 in this thing.

Last but certainly not least, I'm very happy to say that Mr. Armitage was back and better than ever in last Saturday's episode of Robin Hood. Holy crap! It was just scene after scene of hotness! There was a scene where he was sitting on a horse and he extended his hand to his sister and I seriously almost fell off of my chair (I have a thing for hands). He was absolutely beautiful and the BBC made me very happy. I hope the following picture will make you just as happy...
