Day One

I interrupt my writing of Nature V. Nurture for psychology to update you on how this Facebook thing is going.

Why did I do this??? haha.

Actually, it's not as tough on the first day as I thought it might be. I mean, I've gotten texts a few times over today asking me why and them saying that they dislike the idea. Which makes me feel awesome. :)
I've got no boy worries today (well, that's a lie but... none that I'd like to talk about on here), and I'm contently sitting here sipping a Diet Coke while working on my psych response. Next on my list? How to Get in Shape... the crappiest topic to write about in the world of elementary education.

But one that I struggle with on a daily basis. Maybe I can take my own advice on this? ha.

Oh, and my foot is vibrating for the second day in a row. It's quite an odd feeling.

Okay, that's it for now. I need to get this homework done... :)


*10 minutes later*
ps... I hate money. Bills suck. Especially tuition bills. Gah.

time flies when you have "fun"?

I feel like I have so many thoughts sifting through my mind tonight, and I can't seem to get them to focus on one thing alone. I thought about trying to compartmentalize said thoughts via this blog entry, mais I think the rest of my body has decided it is way to tired to let my mind function?

So let's see... it's been what a month since I've updated? hmm, what's happened? Oh, I went to Mississippi! :D yay. It was a great trip, and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. I actually tried to stay with Fab Fattie's challenge, but I didn't get home in time to email points or anything... And you got 50 points for every good deed you did each day... so I wonder how many points a mission trip would be worth??? lol.

Weight watchers is going splendidly. I lost 1.6 last week, for a total of 11 pounds! yayyy. It's so exciting to see the scale go down, as well as my clothes! Mom and I went Old Navy shopping the other night, and I bought mediums in the tops. First time I bought a medium in a designed-for-an-average-woman shirt in forever... usually I'm a medium in mens, not women! So it's a big acheivement for me to say the least.

I've been watching these three kids this summer as well... or, as I like to call them, my three terrors. They're sweet and adorable until you get to know them, especially the oldest Johnny (11). He wears a patch for his ADD, and if he doesn't have it on... watch out cuz you're screwed. omg. And then the other two are girls... I haven't figured out which yet, but one of the two is a chronic liar. I'm thinking it's the youngest, Lindsay (6), because she cries and does anything to get her way... but then again, Sarah (10) seems like she'd be able to get away with it better than Lindsay would. I thought I didn't want kids before I met them... yeah, now I'm pretty certain I never want kids (sorry mom and dad, you're stuck with if Patrick has kids).

Speaking of the little bro, he's staying at his girlfriends house... and has stirred up quite a bit of drama in the family with it. As well as with his visiting his mom multiple times, and not wanting to see his dad at all. I keep expecting him to call me and be like "Court, help. Jess is preg." but he hasn't... yet. He called me once or twice during the past few weeks that he's been home, but not really to say anything at all... I think he really only called because our grandmothers knew him and I weren't talking and it made them upset (I came to that conclusion because he got my number from one of the mommoms).

But yeah, life's crazy... working at Macys is like a workout. Especially with putting away clothing! I've been in swim since I've come home from MS, and I am constantly moving every moment I'm clocked in! I even managed to pull something in my shoulder while at work from carrying too much at once... but the part that annoys me the most is watching people BUY the suits. There are just some bathing suits that are NOT meant for your body, ladies! The worst thing someone could do is shove their body into a bathing suit too small for them...... and then they think it's a perfect fit, or that it looks bad because it's too big. Some of the people, I look at the purchase and just want to laugh and say "where is the rest of the suit?!" because it would hardly cover one of thier thighs! It's terrible.







Ok.... I think I've calmed my brain down enough to be able to sleep for tonight (and I didn't have to talk about boys, etc!!!)... So, if I remember, I'll be back in the next few days or so!

Love, me <3

Fabfattie's Day 1!

Helloooo world!
I am in SUCH a good mood today! You know why???? IT'S SUMMER! :D no more studying until fall semester starts! yay!!!
I got two of my grades back so far: D+ and C-..... ewww. But I really wasn't ready for UD when I started there, and my body collapsed a lot, so the grades aren't a surprise to me. Next semester I'll be ok.

BUT that's not what today's blog is about!
Today started Fabfattie's new challenge! woohoo! I woke up, had a GREAT breakfast, went to the gym for an hour (I feel excellent!), drank 2 bottles of water (so far), had a strawberry protein shake, and went to my WW meeting. I only lost .2 when I weighed in, BUT that's still a loss, so I'm happy!!!!!
(can you tell how much more carefree I am now that finals are over??? lol).

I'm getting ready to have an EXCELLENT lunch... though I'm not sure what it'll be yet! But I'll think of something.
I might take the puppy out for a walk first though??? hmm....

But yeah, I just thought I'd share my day real quickly! :) I know it's not a long post, but I'm STARVED, so I'm gonna go eat and then track my points etc... and then go to the sprint store with the daddy so I can try to get a phone that actually works!
Followed by work. :( ugh but it's money.


Talk to you guys laterr!!!!!
Love, me <3

Insanity is slowly slipping away...

Hey look, it's me! O.O wow... I'm getting there lol.

OK, so I'm working through stuff for my last final (which is TODAY) (and chemistry... *whimper*), and I think I've totally passed my capacity to take things in. 4 finals, 4 days in a row... I'm so exhausted, I can barely stand it... :(

BUT! It's the LAST FINALL!!!!! Which means... at like 6 tonight, I will be on SUMMER BREAK! And that right there my friends is the best thing ever. :) Because summer means that me, and Kelli, start to run a lot. Like 4 days a week... it's pretty much a C25K thing we do, so maybe this year I'll be able to do a 5K. Last year, when we started the running program, I couldn't run. And that's not an understatement... The interval was 2 minutes running, and I could barely do 1 minute. It was a disaster.
If you ask Kelli, I've come a looooooong way since then.

But anyways... (yes, this IS me being a procrastinator. But you try doing CSBs [aka Chem Skill Builders] when your brain has completely shut itself off. It's impossible) I just wanted to say that FABFATTIE'S CHALLENGE IS GOING TO BE STARTING SOON! AND YOU SHOULD JOIN ME!!!!!!! Because it's going to be fun, and exciting, and earning points is always the best! Not to mention, it's a great excuse to be healthy and active!!!! :)

So yes... join me! YAY! :)

Ok... I'm going to go back to my studying/homework now.

OH and for those who read any of my fanfic that might be looking..... I have half of chapter 8 for Traveling Soldier written, BUT I refused to write anymore until I was done with finals.... which means... I SHOULD FINISH WRITING IT TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
And I'll try to get something for my other two stories worked through as well... I know the people who read those stories probably hate me right about now. Oops. :(

Leave me messages loves! I'm looking forward to lots of encouragement over the next 2 weeks while I work through this challenge (my first during WW!).

Love, me <3

So... I really SHOULD be studying right now, BUT... I am so ADD it's not even funny. :( Oh well, criminal justice will just have to wait for a little while longer (I do have all of the notes sitting right in front of me at least!).

Wanna know more info??? Click here to check out the Fabfatties (and they are quite Fab!) website!

So, before I head back to my notes and notecards... with my highlighter!... I thought I'd also admit that the hardest part is going to be giving up the soda, or (even worse) my Monster!!! I have a can of the Blue Monster (yay lo-carb!) sitting right next to me, OPEN, so that I can restore my energy and try to not pass out with these notes! ACK! urggggg. :(

Also, as for my WW journey... I've lost a total of 7.8, 2.4 of them last week! Yeah!!! I have a feeling this week's already messed up (and it's only Tuesday) because I haven't done much of anything except cram for all 4 of my exams (silly things like finals and classes and universities, right?)... but I am hoping to get more active and less Monster-dependent in the next couple of days.
I leave for Mississippi next Saturday (the 6th), right during fabfatties challenge, BUT I know that I'll be able to do it! :)

Alright, no more putting of the studying... let me know if you're joining us in the challenge.
Love, me. <3
