Sitting at Home with Oscar

I am sitting watching the lovely Kristen Chenowith sing right now. Can you believe a woman that is 4 foot 10 inches tall can sing like no ones business? She has an amazing voice. I am watching the Oscars people. I know that it is a love fest for the Hollywood elite, but you know something, I like watching this show. It is just fun to me.

Now to get down to business. The reason I am writing is to talk about a thing that happen to me today. I went with my family to go see "Spamalot" today. For those of you, who do not know what that is, it is a musical based upon the movie, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail". It is a fantastic musical. I laughed so hard through out. It is amazing. Sadly, this is not what I want to talk about.

When we got to the theater, my worst nightmare came true. The seats for the theater are small for even normal people. How do I know this? Because the people I was with told me they were. The seats are very low to the ground, and very thin. So getting in the seat was not comfortable for me. My body had to squeeze in to this seat, and sadly it pured out the seats next to me. I was sitting with my friend, and soon to cousin in law Jeremy, and decided to sit in a seat away from him. First it is a guy code thing, and second I figured it would be more comfortable to sit a seat away from him until the person sitting there came. Well people came, but it turns out that we did have a extra seat. But the older couple that sat next to me, I could tell was uncomfortable to sit next to a guy that clearly was taking up part of their chair too. The gentlemen did not complain to me, but he did go up and talk to an usher for a moment. I was sure that he was talking to the usher about me. And you know something I can understand that. Well, once the show started, the gentlemen and his wife switched seats to a pair of seats across the isle from where we were sitting. They sat there the whole show, and no one said anything. Everything is all good right? Not so much.

This obviously got in my head. Gosh, the fact that I was uncomfortable in that seat the whole time kind of kept myself in my head. Now, please know, I had a wonderful day today. The show was amazing, and I had so much fun. But this is the thing that kind of sticks with you. So the question is, what am I going to do about this? Well, the first thing is as much as I like shows, I am not going to go anymore until I get my weight under control. I am not going to inconvenience another person like that again. I fel so bad for that guy. He paid good money for that ticket,and I may have been the cause of him not enjoying himself.

It is time to work harder at losing this weight. I do not want to be a pest to anyone anymore. I especially do not want to be a pest to myself anymore. It is time to love me. I am going to work on this harder. That is a promise I have to all of you in cyber land.

Until next time.
