Hello, Mattel...they're NOT REAL!

Well, I saw this yesterday on MSN's homepage, and had to comment....http://www.shareholder.com/mattel/news/20060209-187095.cfm

It seems Ken has gotten a makeover. Now I'm all for the Ken doll being revamped for kids. He was always dorky looking when I was little, but come on! A PRESS RELEASE. And then the news picks it up and presents it like it is some important information that the whole country needs to be aware of. Sounds like someone really has a lot of time on their hands. I wish I could get that job! I could make up all kinds of stories for Mattels products to release to the press. I bet my 7 year old niece could come up with some great ones!

Okay, okay....enough of my rant. Back to the real purpose of my blog...the weight thing. Well, I weighed in on Wednesday. Still the same. No loss, no gain! I'm going to stick with my plan. It worked for me and I didn't feel like I was starving myself. Pretty much because I would give myself chances to cheat if I felt like it, then get back on. So I feel pretty confident that I can get the weight off at least as a jump start. Then when I hit a plateau, I will look for changes to get over the hump.

Me, hubby and daughter #2 are going out of town for weekend for church. Oldest daughter is staying home, because she has to leave for a choir trip and needs to get ready for it. So, it will be quiet again around this blog.

That's okay...I'm sure Mattel will have plenty of newsworthy press releases while I'm gone to keep everyone occupied! D-bb
