Okay, so there was a tiny little pop and a quick flash of light. But it did surprise me and my curling iron was not working anymore. Being the practical woman I am, I unplugged my curling iron (in case there was a short) and finished curling my hair before all of the heat dissipated from the iron! LOL! Hey, it was hot, my hair was striaght. What else should I have done?
Anyway, as I was heading into work, the enginerdy part of me took over. I thought "Since the curling iron is ruined anyway, I can take it apart and see if I can fix it." Yay me! I like taking stuff apart and seeing how it works. Worst case, my curling iron still won't work and I'll get the chance to see what a curling iron looks like on the inside. Best case...I fix my curling iron! Not really counting on that, but hey, it could happen.
After I get home from the gym, I go to take a shower and turn on the radio so I can rock out to some tunes. My radio doesn't work. Hmmmm. That's the same outlet that my curling iron was plugged into. Push reset...reset won't push....hmmmm. Go to the other bathroom (it's on the same circuit) and test my daughter's radio. It doesn't work. Hmmmm...push reset again. This time it pushes, but still nothing works. Hmmm...sounds like a fuse popped. So I send the kids out (messy garage, lots of climbing involved) to check the fuse box. The find the right one, reset it and VOILA! My daughter's radio turns on. I go into my bathroom and plug in my curling iron. It worked.  Dang it! I don't get to tear it apart! Bummer...
Maybe it really will explode tomorrow! There's a happy thought! LOL!

I walked into a royal mess at work today. Okay, so it wasn't really a big mess, but the boss' boss' boss got involved, so it got to be a LOT more important really quickly. I spent the entire day getting our story straight to tell folks outside of our department. Because of the timing, I didn't have lunch until 2:00 (breakfast was at 7:00!).
I did eat an apple and string cheese around 10. Then I started getting hungry and really had to wait for an answer before I could eat my lunch. So, I ate my carrots while I was waiting. And I had five peanuts. When I finally made it to lunch, all I had left was a sandwich and I was HUNGRY! So, I bought some chips. But I did good...I had the Baked Doritos not the full fat ones that were calling my name!
Came home, made dinner and very purposely used the small plate for mine. Ate that and felt like having a cookie. I logged all of my food to see how many calories I had left. Seventeen. No cookie worth eating has only 17 calories. 
So, I did not eat my cookie. BUT...I was in range for calories today!! First time in five days! So, neener neener stress! I won! Bring it on!! No, wait, don't bring it on. I will retire victorious! LOL!

Today is my little brother's birthday. We were born in the same year...me in January, him in December. So, for a little over one month, I have a twin. I sent him a note of congratulations...not everyone gets to be twins with me! LOL!
Off to bed so I can get to the gym in the morning....AGAIN!!! Man, I hate that I tell you all that. At least, I hate it at 4:00 in the morning. When I'm done, I don't mind so much! LOL!

So, for the week of Thanksgiving, my goal was to stay in my calorie range every day except T-day and to stay under 2800 calories that day. I did really good until T-day. After that, I was WAAAY out of calorie range.
I also planned to work out every day. If you count 7 1/2 hours of shopping on Black Friday, I did that.
I did get up this morning and went to the gym! Yay!! I wasn't sure what that dang noise was when the alarm started ringing, but I figured it out. Dang it! LOL!
AND, I'm gonna do it again tomorrow! I like being home with the family at night. Plus, I need to get to the library tomorrow after work. Hope I remember! Planned to go tonight and remembered at 8:00. Library closes at 8:00. Oops!
kay...things to do, Biggest Loser to watch. Later taters!

Oopsies! My kids were disappointed and I felt bad that they were going to miss out on the parade. But part of me was pretty darn happy to get back in that warm truck (took DH's truck since he has a heater!) and go back to my warm house. Maybe we'll try again next year. 
I'll get them done tonight, but gum! Well, I'll get them all signed and addressed. DH didn't make it to the post office (he forgot) so I can't stamp them all. And there are at least two that I know I need their new addresses.
