Siriusly clueless, another v-day, former fatty
You may recall a couple weeks ago I ranted about my SiriusXM renewal that came in the mail. I called them up and told them I would rather cancel my subscription than pay their bullshit price increase. Well my cancellation threat triggered an instant 50% discount for my subscription so I decided to renew.
Well imagine my joy when I receive ANOTHER renewal notice in the mail yesterday. I wish I could say I was surprised but this is par for the course with SiriusXM, if there is any possible way they can f something up, they will.
When I went online to look at my account activity I saw that I was indeed charged for my renewal at the beginning of the month as I agreed to. When I looked at the new bill I realized Sirius was trying to bill me for the radio I cancelled almost a year ago! I have no idea how they are so amazingly consistent with their ineptness.
So now I get to waste more of my time calling them up to ensure that they do not try to bill me for an already cancelled radio. I can hardly wait to hear what the excuse is this time.
Since we did our official Valentine’s Day dinner last Saturday last night we had a less formal celebration yesterday evening. I gave Ali a card, a movie gift card that I indicated was good for one, gasp, chick flick of her choice, and the small box of chocolates.
I typically would not buy Ali chocolates but the cute puppy that looked exactly like a puppy version of Nicki sealed the deal.
I picked up the Hungry Howie’s pizza as promised. We enjoyed it while watching episodes of The Office. I think the one episode we watched last night might have made me laugh more than any others to date. It featured the Rabies Awareness 5K.
When reviewing last year’s blog post I saw I made mention of how my body weight had hit the 190lb mark at this time last year. I had almost forgotten that I allowed myself to bounce back that high. I do recall Randall, who at that time was high on the hog for breaking the Mendoza line for the first time in years, jokingly calling me a “fatty”.
Well anyway, that day was the start of me applying more discipline to my diet and exercise routine. Around that time I was in the middle of doing the long distance run training for the half marathon last year. I think I probably fell into that classic trap where you think that because you burned 1000 calories on a run it green lights eating poorly, in many cases consuming even more than you burned.
Since this time last year I am down a full 20 pounds and have stayed that way for quite awhile.
