wtf scale?

so, we got this awesome scale at walmart.  it's all nice and digital-y, it can save the numbers of two people and is nice and compact for storage.

only problem with this scale is that it refuses to weigh you if you sit it on the carpet, and sadly our bathroom is carpeted, save for a little square around the toilet that is way to small to do anything in.  so whenever i want to use it, i have to take it to the laundry room or the kitchen (if everybody feels like weighing that day.

it dawned on me today that i could keep the scale in the closet, since my closet is HUGE (yes, i will continue to brag about it because this closet is the king of closets) and isn't covered in fuzzy carpet.  

off to the closet i go.  the first time it came up really low, and i figured out it was because i was holding onto the closet rod to balance.  i let go of it and it shows me 'E', which means it can't find anything balanced on the scale. see why i was trying to balance there?  this thing can be a total douche sometimes.  after about five more tries to recenter myself, it finally gives me 279.5.  

now, i was just at the health department on tuesday, and weighed 284 point whatever.  i don't remember exactly.  but i find it quite unlikely that i lost like 5 pounds in 3 days.  not that that wouldn't be totally awesome.  but it's still highly unlikely.  

so i headed back to the closet to test this scale again.  after about ten tries i finally got 282.6, which is the only number that appeared more than once, so i am more inclined to believe it.  i consider it a loss for now, i'll check it again first thing in the morning to see what's going on.

love, tiffers.
