Take your marks!
Seeing as I'm not about to fall asleep while typing (which I most definitely was last night), this post should make a little more sense. Or maybe not. We'll see.
Point #1! Have you ever wondered what bank people talk about when they're not processing your transactions and/or opening your accounts? Well, I'd be happy to tell you what my branch talks about behind the safety of the several-inch thick bullet proof glass.
Yesterday's topic of discussion (shared by everyone at one point or another) was "what superhero powers would you choose if you could choose two?" We had such awesome answers as (and I quote) "I'd be mute." (technically not a super power, I'd like to point out)
"Wings, so I could fly, but not like bat-wings. Feathered ones." (I questioned how one would sleep with full-on wings. I suggested clinging to the ceiling with the wings wrapped around them, hence the "not like bat-wings" comment.)
"I'd be a cross between Wolverine and Jean Grey." (cop-out!)
There was some mention of being able to shoot ice out of one's hands (later discarded for super-healing), invisibility (another cop-out), telepathy (possibly this was part of the Wolverine/Jean Grey hybrid) and sweating mayonnaise (or ketchup, mustard, butter, or any other condiment). The last one left us with hours of speculation about how condiment super-powers could be used. You know, sliding in on a wave of ketchup that the bad guys slip in in their haste to capture you.
Hee!
Point #2: Book #73 - Castle of Wizardy: Book four of the Belgariad by David Eddings - Okay, I have one more book in this series and then I have the Crimson City series that I just bought. I'm kind of chafing at the bit to start that one. My original plan was to have the entire Belgariad series and *maybe* the Mallorean series finished before I even bought the CC series. Dammit. Now I'm all screwed because I HAD TO HAVE that Russian movie. Which reminds me ... THE CHALK OF DESTINY is in Day Watch, the sequel to Night Watch! It'll be on DVD at the end of October! I'm in heaven! HEAVEN! I'll finally get to see THE CHALK!
I don't think I said much about the book, but it was good. Word!
Point #3 - Cole and I will be visiting with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jenahville and kimbrchick tomorrow! Cool! We're going to watch disaster-type movies (Zombies! Vampires! Werewolves! Oh my!) and be all talky and stuff. It'll be fun!
Point #4... Starbucks has their Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino back on the menu! Pair that with a pumpkin scone and you're in taste bud heaven!
Point #5 ~ I saved this one for last because I'm quite thrilled about it! I have lost 9.5 pounds since I started my healthy eating earlier this year. My original goal was 10 pounds, so this is AWESOME! I'm still toying with trying to lose an extra 5 (that would put me nearly at my pre-pregnancy weight which is WHOA!) but I'm more concerned with staying healthy than hitting any hard and fast numbers. That said! NINE AND A HALF!
Now I'm done.

Secondly - I think we accomplished a great deal towards our ambitious vampire/zombie/werewolf plans. Oh yes. I do think I may have to finish what we didn't watch last night today. We'll see. Great having you guys.
And I want it on record - my 2 superpowers would be: flying and ability to heal as we discussed.

I still haven't chosen my two powers. :(
