30 day challenge!

SO hi. I started a blog on my weight watchers site (yay two blogs), and really really liked the idea... so I figured I would use it on here two....
It's a 30-day Blog challenge (I found it here: http://community.weightwatchers.com/Blogs/ViewPost.aspx?threadID=1250288 ), and it's suppose to help start a blog and find yourself etc for weight loss (woohoo).
so..

Day 1- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

How recent can you get than a Christmas picture, right? The guy I'm seeing took this of me at the Holiday party for the law firm I work at, week 1 of weight watchers. Love the dress, HATE the full frontal photo (thus why the side one is here haha).


Now for facts...
1. I'm less than 2 months away from being 22, and am tired of looking the way that I look (aka ----> that).
 
2. I am on the verge of being in a relationship with an awesome guy (one who watches Glee and texts me about it! YAYY), and am completely happy about it. We've been seeing each other for 2 months, the 1st month being the friend/dating stage, then the second month being the serious stage... tonight's our first Christmas type of ordeal (woohoo again).
 
3. I work 2 jobs, and am currently typing this up at one of them (which has a comfy chair and my own desk... aka not Depot).
 
4. I am an Elementary Education major and working towards my bachelors degree.
 
5. I just made Dean's List with said major. Yeah... I'm really happy. :D
 
6. I have an obsession with the brand Aerie, which makes women's undergarments (geared towards the twenty-somes), workout clothes, pjays, shirts, winter wear, and cosmetics. It's my love and I can easily spend about $100 there every time I walk in the door...
 
7. I also have an obsession with cute office supplies, especially post-it notes, and my office desk (and bulletin board) are COVERED in different colors... I got a bunch for Christmas, and cannot wait to add them to the array.
 
8. I'm starting to learn how to cook... and bake both. Very very slowly, but I'm working on it. Last week, I made (with the help of the gentleman mentioned in #2) Chicken Cordon Bleu... and it was OH SO DELICIOUS. Like Siriusly. omg. wonderful. And I love making Red Velvet Cake as well... besides that, uhh, I can burn chocolate really well. As I said, working on it.
 
9. I love pretty dresses. But I can only wear 1 style, which has to be an A-line (think of a ball gown) skirt, and usually needs a halter with it. I like the poofs lol. My goal for losing weight is to be able to wear pretty dresses and skirts much more often than I do now (hooray for self concious).
 
10. I'm very picky with my style... I hate prints, and will not wear them... especially if they look like triangles because they make me look bigger. (gross)
 
11. My favorite story is Beauty and the Beast... for Christmas, I got 9 items regarding said movie.... a Lenox Belle, a Snowbabies Belle, a Jim Shore Belle/Beast, two reusable shopping bags, a Belle bell ornament, a Children's book with the story, the DVD, and a scarf (that I have yet to figure out how to work). I'm a happy Courtney.
 
12. I love to read and I go through books like there's no tomorrow... currently working on the Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged, so it's 117 chapters), it should take me a little haha. I started it 2 days ago, and am about 150 pages in.
 
13. I love ribbons. They're wonderful accessories for the hair... if cut long enough.
 
14. I love bright colors, except if I have to wear them. I feel that bright colors are better to be looked at... for instance, my favorite color is lime green, but you are seriously mistaken if you think you will catch me in a shirt that color.... dark green, yes, lime green? hell to the no.
 
15. I am a die-hard Philly sports fan... and am going to go watch the Eagles kick ass tonight with my guy at Buffalo Wild Wings, and am extremely excited about the prospect of it all.
 
 
 
 
So yeah, now let's see if I'm any good at this whole updating EVERY day thing, shall we? :)

Siriusly, Tuesday? Siriusly?

"Write a report on 'How do I get in shape?' Write as if you are a person looking to get in shape and what are the basic principles that you need to go by."

That was my assignment of the week... thanks for that Paul (my Health/PE class teacher). Really, the wording of that just bothers me, but it's okay Paul, I know you're a high school gym teacher, so I will let you slide on it this time around. But only because you're letting us play classroom games like 7 Up, Red Light Green Light, Red Rover, and Simon Says during class tonight. Am I excited? ummmm YES, even though I'm missing Glee for this.

Do you want to know what not to do for the above assignment? I'll tell you... Do NOT sleep through your wonderful Zumba class (that you absolutely love and have no clue how you lived without it) and then proceed to eat the leftover Red Velvet Cake batter you have sitting in front of you. These two things aren't helpful in the practice of getting in shape.

But... that batter sure was delicious. And my bed was too comfy to get out of this morning. So... I guess Zumba will have to wait until Thursday. :)

Well, it's Tuesday. Another day into this whole no-Facebook thing that I was silly enough to start. The reason I find it silly at the moment is because, well... It's TUESDAY. I have so many things I would update my status about that people would have pushed 'like' on!!! I mean... I baked my red velvet cake (that always gets 'like'd), I'm playing classroom games, I'm going to Ladies Night... and... IT'S THE FIRST NIGHT OF GLEE.

Granted, I'm missing Glee tonight because of class AND Ladies Night combined. But, still. That doesn't erase the fact that Glee starts back up tonight. And that I'll be watching it first thing tomorrow morning (while debating on going to kickboxing or not... I'm terrible at this shape/exercise thing!), and finding really good quotes to update a status with. BUT IT WILL HAVE TO WAIT. Until Sunday. Which Tina has already decided to tell me is 5 full days away (she's been counting since the second I went on hiatus I think).

But, it's okay, because the next 5 days will go quickly... I have 40 hours at the Depot to strive through until it's time to get back onto my beloved Book de Face and start my creeping of all my friends once more.

On a completely different tangent/topic... my foot is STILL vibrating. But it's not hurting as much as it has been the past two days. Like, I can put pressure on it today. I don't get this stupid foot thing. But yes, I am aware I should go to the hospital for it since, well, ya know, that bump has been there since I was dating Steve. But it would only ever hurt for a few minutes... nothing like the past 2 days has ever happened to it (I mean, whose foot VIBRATES?). I bought a new thing of moleskin cushioning for it, because I think that could be the problem... I got this other type (after getting used to the type I just bought like 20 minutes ago) that was really thin and not at all cushiony. It made me feel everything. So I went and got the thicker, cushiony one. And now my little plantar bump feels all comfy and snug, like it's snuggled up in a fleece hoodie.

Except they don't make fleece hoodies for bumps. Especially not bumps in the middle of your foot arch.

But that's what it feels like. I would know. I'm sitting at school snuggled up in MY wonderful Aerie fleece hoodie right now. About to watch The Back-Up Plan before this fun classroom games thing starts at 5:30.

Oh Tuesdays, how am I to get through you without Facebook?

On the bright side... new white sunglasses for the win. (the highlight of my Tuesday thus far!)
