Friday, January 25, 2008 at 8:36AM This Meme has been cruising around the OC so I thought I would jump aboard.
The rules are as follows, comment with one word to describe me. That's it! It's funny but in a way, I almost do not want to click on the Publish button....
Oh well, here is goes.

We have cable TV. Cable TV that we hardly use. Cable TV that we pay about 100 bucks a month for! We watch 4 shows religiously and the rest are just channel surfing kind of stuff. So the way that I see it, Apple TV will allow us to either cut down our cable bill or remove it completely.
ITunes sells TV shows by the season so as soon as a new episode is released it is downloaded into your Apple TV. Typically the cost for a season is 25 bucks. So If I watch 6 shows (lets just say) then that’s only 150 smackaroo’s for the entire season! Not to mention great video podcasts that are free.
I currently download the Ninja Warrior, Dog Whisperer, Walt Disney World, Food Science, and a Skate boarding video podcast. They are like little TV shows and they are automatically downloaded to my Apple TV when a new episode comes out. Not to mention the great Audio podcast like Trailer Talk (shameless plug), Diggnation, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, News from Lake Wobegon, and many more! I love it.
We can also listen to my entire iTunes music library from our television which his hooked up to the good stereo unlike my computer speakers It is great to allow guests the ability of looking through my music collection on the TV instead of sitting at my desk.
And did I mention Pictures? Oh wow, our pictures look amazing on our TV. Since my camera is digital (and yours probably is too) the pictures taken look fantastic on our wide screen HDTV.
I would really suggest checking out the Keynote Address that Steve Jobs from Apple did that announced the iTunes rentals and the update for Apple TV not to mention all the other cool stuff Apple has coming out. I should also mention that we have iPods and now the apple TV but all 4 of our computers are PC’s.
I think we are going to become an Apple family soon. Stay tuned.

Just for fun I called Minimed and checked into getting CGM to go along with my pump and as the title suggests I was denied.
I had a feeling this would happen. Just because I have Blue Shield which sounds like a company that protects it actually does not give a $#!^ about its patients, only money. Silly me. So now what to do? I guess I can sell stuff on eBay to afford CGM? I know my endo won’t do anything to help. He hardly knows me. Maybe I should see if Doctor “F-Bomb” with kick some insurance ass.
Odds are I will not have CGM for a long time. Oh well.
I am having a crappy day. Don’t mind me.

Enjoy.
Saturday, January 19, 2008 at 8:20AM The last time I weighed in at the old WW was the Saturday before Christmas. The meeting leader thought I quit which was not the case at all although, the scale probably thought the same thing.
Gain - 7.0 lbs
total lost - 29.0 lbs
Wow! I beat myself up all the way home. I was so angry but at the same time, I knew it. I have been pretty much been sticking to my low point breakfast and lunch BUT my dinners have been "double OC" (out of control) and I have become an unstoppable "Snackster"{ in the evenings.
Oh did I mention that I have not exercised religious since last year! :)
I am not giving up. Mainly because a few of my O.C. friends started Weight Watchers recently and we need to stick together. I know I can get back on track. Tune in next Saturday when I lose a grip of weight.
FYI - a grip means a lot. I know, I have a strange vocabulary.
