weight

everyone probably remembers my posts months ago about being fat. well i got fed up with it, so i stopped exercising and eating healthy. my gut is gone and i basically lost the weight that i had gained being healthy. my gut is rather nice now compared to before.

sealing envelopes is the worst. too bad i dont have a sponge. at least i only have 10 more

Chrsitmas time

christmas card writing is time consuming. what's worse is trying to get addresses that i once had and lost. i stll haven't been able to get a few.

this may sound familiar

but i forgot to go to sleep tonight too. that 2 hour season finaly (sp) got me. now it's late. id idn't get to do my updating of my money files yet either.

i forgot to go to sleep. i dont know how ti got so late.

publisher likes to crash when i change the size of the paper. i don't know why.

i blame it on my oven

i've made these cookies before. now they've turned out horribly. i'm so disappointed.

sleep

i keep sleeping too late on the weekends. it messes up me going ot sleep on sunday nights. this is about the third weekend in a row a least that i sleep 11 hours a night on the weekend and i sleep until about noon on sunday. this is no good.

microsoft

microsoft access is being difficult. i wish i knew how to use it properly.

remind me to post about my adventure today. i'm tired now.

my first live steeler game

I just got home from the steeler game. it was cold. It was very windy. I'm wearing nice boots, wool socks, feet warmer things, 3 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, a hat, scarf, and headband(earband thing). I did have on gloves and mittens and a coat. time to delayer.

It was like 20 degrees with a windchill of 0. the steelers won 27 to 7 against the browns. parker set a record. there were 3 bad calls that ai could tell.

Man it was so scary to get way up to our seats, but once we got there i was fine w/ being so high. You could barely tell.

stupid weather. took us over 2 hours to get from my house to station square.

oh and i went to joann fabrics today to buy the 3 string colors i'm missing to finish the last ornament i worked on. they were out of BOTH. they were also out of many other colors. i was mad.

my body

so my scale makes me fat so i weigh myself on pb's scale. i've been doing this for the past month or so. now his scale says i'm fat. i wish my knee would get better. tomorrow it will be one month of it hurting. that's probably long enough that i should call the dr. but she won't do anything. she'll send me to a specialist and by that time it'll be better.

this week

i'm tired.

i'm going to the steeler game thursday. i'm going to freeze. i freeze in the mornings here when the thermostat is set to 69. i wore my scarf around at work today. then friday i have to be in pittsburgh at 6:30 am. i wont get any sleep. i'll be so hopped up for going to my first football game.

shopping adventure

Express had tons of dress pants. Then they had this one rack that had short, regular, long for black. They had the same style in other colors but did not have longs. I asked an employee about this and she said they only carry black since it’s popular. Said the unmarked ones are 2 inches shorter than the long. Also said most stores are the same. Said if I call around some other stores might carry gray. They had pin stripe, brown, cream, more stripes, and gray in the uniform length one. Made me mad. too bad i have black pants and i want brown. but i also only have 1 black pair that fits nicely. i wear black pants everday of the week (well sometimes only 4 days) so now i won't have to wear the other black pants as often.

tired

i'm never tired at night anymore and it's really annoyng me. when i'm not tired and i try to go to sleep i just lay (lie?) there in bed for well over an hour trying to fall asleep. most of my recent nights have also been restless. i don't get into a good sleep until close to when it's time to wake up for work or on weekends after the point that i normally wake up. then it's really hard to wake up. i'll be tired all day at work. i get home and i'm not tired anymore once it hits about 6:00 and i get a nice jolt of energy at 9pm. maybe tomorrow i'll just try to go to sleep at 6pm.

money

i'm much happier the 2nd half of the month than the first half. the first half most of my money goes to rent and my dsicover bill. there is no room for me to play w/ the money and decide what to do with it. now the second half is so much fun. i have my car payments, car insurance, other cc bills (from any store cards i have an amex) and also money to play with to put into savings. how depressing that i have to wait 2 weeks just to get to the fun money playing time.

dreams

o man timmy is always so mean to me in my dreams.last night i was filling the pizzelles (the ones you roll up and put filling in them) and he kept eating them. all of them.. as soon as it was filled it would be eaten by him. these were the pizzelles i already made w/ gram that i have here that need to be filled.

knee

so i thought my knee was getting better. really it was just because i wasn't using it for 4 days when i was laying on the couch sick. it is killing me now. perhaps i shouldn't have scrubbed the floor. bending my knee, going down stairs, kneeling, and and sometimes just moving it hurt. in case you forgot this is the same hurt knee that started hurting November 7. oo that was election day.

tonight

all i was doing was mopping. i have 6 cuts on my thumb/hand near thumb. how did that happen? then at McD's, i got cut getting na lid. that cut is on my pointer finger same hand.

today i swept, swiffered, mopped, scrubbed, then used magic eraser on the kitchen floor. i still think it looks awful. i also cleaned the 3 bathroom floors but not as extensively.

i'm much healthier today. my nose is still raw. i even got out the cross stitching.

money

i logged onto my bank and then saw the amt. i checked it to my checkbook and wondered how they could think i have 12 more cents than my checkbook says. then i looked at my transactions and i got interest. this happens every month. i get tricked. i never remember the date i get interest on and i get tricked.

famous kennywood

season 4, episode 21. last minute of the episode of csi they are talking roller coasters. they are at some park in LV. they mention 2 other parks. kennywood /steel phantom was one. even though grism (sp) said he holds some record on the steel phantom. i dont know of any kinds of competetions like that for ridiging it continuously.

work internet

so the internet was broken at work today. that's why i couldn't connect to work from home. i've been wanting to check my e-mail. i think they are up now so time to get to checking.

hahaha

what's funny is you always have 2 choices and for a lot i really didn't like one so i chose the other. but the other choice was also no good.

sleep

i went back to sleep and slept pretty nicely until about 1:15PM. i did have the weirdest dream. it wasn't even a nice dream. so maybe i didn't sleep nicely.

tylenol nighttime didn't work. it did such a good job 2 nights ago. i slept about 2.5 hours all together. normally i dont even wake up until 8. i figured i'd get up and e-mail work and perhaps try nyquil

since i'm sick i didn't take these pictures soon enough and i didn't take the best poses. you can see some of the ornaments I made. Some blend in. i see 4 on each picture. 1 is the same ornament in both though. in the first one i know because i know where the one in a frame is but it is sideways so it just looks gold from the picture.
the tree top fell off the other night. it hasnt' made it back on yet. it was actually sitting on the floor in front of the tree just out of line of sight of the camera.

Tree from a bad angle because of the couch (note i broke all the rules in the book and used Silver AND gold as dominant colors.)

tree from a better angle but not the tree's best side
almost complete wreath (still needs 1 or 2 more s nowflakes and 2 or so more bells. i got tired and lazy)

a coworker said to me today "don't you know the rules, no getting sick on holidays or weekends, you save that for work days"

wow

how am i so much sicker today than yesterday?

i wore my nice new sweater today and i only lasted 2.5ish hours at work.

it's quite hard to drive while constantly sneezing but i made it home. luckily i'm used to the windey roads. (i dont know the difference between windy and windey i dotn know if windey is a word. i dont think it is but i didn't want it to sound like the stuff that blows outside. i'm tired.)

tree

i think i finished putting the ornaments on the tree. pb helped. it was so funny when he saw how you use hooks. he said that's so much easier than trying to jam the branch into the little hole on the ornament. i didn't believe him. i thought he was joking. he said when he put up the tree with his dad that's what they used to do. poor guys.

welp

i'm home sick today.

what's a show i should start watching? preferable one that aired the last few years so i can watch teh season over a week instead of having to wait until new ones air. i'd prefer one that has each episode tie into the last like what about brian or friday night lights or lost or grey's anatomy and not one like CSI or law and order.

i'm sick and feel misearable. i think i'll end up not going to work tomorrow. it'll be my first full sick day in 8 months.... the 8 month anniversary of me starting work

updated!

it would probably make sense to use the same order polynomial for the trend lines on my daily weight graph and weekly weight graph. but i didn't. see.

cross stitching

i cross stitched 2 candy canes tonight. one is a mirror image of the other. i also used different shades of red. the 2nd one is too dark and isn't as good.

i still need a tree top and tree skirt. and probably some more ornaments.

if i only knew

what i did to my knee. it's been hurting for 2 weeks now. it started hurting the morning of Tuesday November 7. sometimes it is worse than others. going down stairs is the worst.

loans and interest

i was calculating how much money i pay in interest a day for all my student loans. it was a little depressing. then i did some math for pb's loans. it made my interest seem like nothing. then when i realized my interest is still rediculous, it was very depressing.

phase 2*

* or the rest of phase 2 or the rest of phase 1. since it's the same stage as the last picture and i didn't post any of just the ree and no lights

i've wanted to try to make peanut butter fudge all day but the pyrex dish is dirty. i dont feel like washing it. it's no fun.

tree

tree so far. i ran out of lights. i have to make another trip tomorrow. but i'll need more ornaments too.

this tree is doing a number on my nails.

i'm going to run out of tree lights

tree

a little more than 1/3 of the tree is up. i think it was a bad idea to buy a tree about 1/3 the lenght of the living room and then halfway from one wall to the next. so about 1/6 of the living room. the tree cut me up a little. i'm waiting to put the rest on until i buy lights. i think it'll be easier to get around all the branches w/o the rest of it on. some things i like bout this tree bette rsome things i like about the old style better* i got the tree at pool city. i've lookedf at a few places and i wa annoyed w/ the trees that have long needles and the short ones on teh same tree. i dont get it how there are 2 types of tree on one fake tree. that makes it seem super fake to me.

* oldl style has colors for each row and you snap them in. this one has 3 parts and all the branches just fold up. but around the base how the branches "connect" makes them a little wobbley.

oo

i finally set up my e-vite for my christmas party. i bought a few christmas presents. well they are silly ones, but gifts none the less.

i'm hungry. i'm trying to decide ifi i should go cook.

i spent time shopping today with my parents today. i bought some christmas presents. i miss-bought a present. ithink i'll go back tomorrow.

haircut

i asked pb to cut 2 inches off of my hair. i gave him a low estimate becuase i know he cuts too much from previous experience. i measured one of the strands he cut off. it wasn't even the longest batch and it was over 3.5 inches. i dotn think it's straight. he also missed some hairs. i was touching it up and then added layers. i think i still missed some in teh back. he says it gives it character.

i think i've been a posting slacker. how nice is it to be on vacation today. i got to sleep 10 hours.

work

a coworker told me i can spend the next 2 full days polishing up my report and proof reading it. little does he know that that 1.5 of those days is vacation and dhalf the remaining day i have a meeting that will most likely run over by an hour. i guess i won't take my full 1.5 days vacation so i can get this thing done. i knew i would be at a crunch since i lost yesterday due to trianing that i wasn't supposed to have until after my report is due.

i keep getting headaches. it's starting to really annoy me.

i finished cross stitching another tree today. it's the same pattern as the last one but this time i used fabric instead of plastic. now i'm in the middle of another gingerbread man. i dont like this one as much. it's not symmetrical.

update

my latest ornament took over 4 hours. but it was rough. it's rough to type too. i smashed my finger between an empty tv stand and the wall about 6 hours ago.

i should probably make my ornament posts private since they are boring. in a few years it's fun to go back and read stuff so i keep putting it in.

hobby update...again

with my cross stitching, i'll think i'm almost done. all i have to do is outline. then another 2 hours later i finish that. then i spend an hour with the exacto knife cutting out the thing. fun times though. i shoulld post more pictures tomorrow of my newest ones.

shopping

i bought more christmas decorations today and it seems like i still don't have any.

christmas

i just inventoried all my new string. i did not do my old strign because it was purchased in bulk and doesn't have a DMC number or Anchor number or any brand number for that matter. next i'm finishing the wreath or at least using all the fabric that i have. i will decide if i need more. then i'll finish making the list of the string i need for certain projects or only what i need to buy for certain projects if i run out of time. them i'm going to the craft store to get more fabric if i need ti and then get more string. i barely have any ornaments done at all. i work on them all of my free time the past few weeks. it's almost discouraging. i dont think i'll have all i want done by christmas.

ooo

i made my christmas tree ornament into a magnet. i figured hanging a tree on a tree might be weird. so now it's on the fridge.

i was so tired all day today. then i get to cross stitching and i can't go to sleep until it's done. i'm not even tired. grr.

i got another headache. it's annoying.

today

today was so much fun today at work. it shouldn't even be considered work. introduce a girl to engineering day was so much fun. some things were hectick but i think that's what made it fun. it was also fun to meet new westinghouse employees. it seems like they all enjoy their jobs so much.

then i came home from work and cross stitched for 5ish hours. i think i'm halfway done with the horn. i decided i'm going to make an excel file of the string colors i have (by number/brand and then convert to the other brand number) so then that makes shopping easier. i've purchesed the same colors on a few occasions. i'll use it eventually but it's not worth it now. i need to buy other colors that i have 0 of.

i'm a loser

SmilinColleen: i'm getting a headache and grinding my teeth. this happens all the tiem. i get so excited about my money file
KBRedXIII: hahahha

oh only if money information wasn't all personal and stuff, i'd be posting it on the internet. so exciting. it's not done efficiently. i need somethign better to be able to add what column it goes to. i have a differnet column for each category then sum those. there's gotta be a way that i dont' know. there's probably a better program than excel but i always fall back to excel. even microsoft money didn't do all i wanted it to do years ago and now i do more.

dangerous

my new hobby is dangerous. i lost another needle today. i think i'm down two. i've only used 3. now i know why they sell them 10 in a pack. i hope i dont end up stepping on it later.

laon fun

paying extra on my loan (since i started calculating it) has saved me an extra cent a day on interest.

new shirt

i got a new shirt. too bad i can only wear it half a day tomorrow. nobody at work will see it. (well unless they are helping with introduce a girl to engineering day)

penn trafford, gateway, and hempfield are all sending kids. norwin isn't on the list. i think kids from 12 districts are coming tomorrow.

here's my shirt (and it's just like all the Westinghouse employees shirts they are wearing and the shirts the high school girls will be taking home with them)


grrr. jesse's server sucks. i can't get my webpage to load so i can't get the url to link to the pictures. the pictures uploaded fine. i dont get it.

front


closeup of insignia


back (the best part)


argh. i'm just posting this w/o pictures. you will have to return to see the awesome pictures. (i got them to work. but i'm leaving the arghs in here to remind me how mad i was)

and i volunteered to help before knowing i'd get a cool shirt like this. actually when i volunteered we weren't getting shirts. i helped convince that we should get them to wear so the high school girls know who is in charge.

i voted today. it was scary going to a new polling place but i did it.

stuff

my bloodwork a few months ago had my cortisol level at 35.3. normal is 4-22

website quote 1: stress hormone cortisol, a chemical released by the human adrenal gland when it is under stress, has now been shown to have a detrimental effect on memory. In addition, this stress hormone may lead to illness and weight gain.

website quote 2: Higher and more prolonged levels of cortisol in the bloodstream (like those associated with chronic stress) have been shown to have negative effects, such as:

* Impaired cognitive performance
* Suppressed thyroid function
* Blood sugar imbalances such as hyperglycemia
* Decreased bone density
* Decrease in muscle tissue
* Higher blood pressure
* Lowered immunity and inflammatory responses in the body, as well as other health consequences
* Increased abdominal fat, which is associated with a greater amount of health problems than fat deposited in other areas of the body. Some of the health problems associated with increased stomach fat are heart attacks, strokes, the development of , higher levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL), which can lead to other health problems!


i saw something on pbs the other day about working out and watching tv isnt' always a good thing. if you are watching the news and you get all riled up that's nto good because it increases your cortisol level. that's what had me looking this stuff up again.


another quote from website 2: Studies have also shown that people who secrete higher levels of cortisol in response to stress also tend to eat more food, and food that is higher in carbohydrates than people who secrete less cortisol.

carbs are my fav.

and another thing

fox news was on one of the tvs at the gym. it got me so fired up. afterwards pb was all fired up complaining about the same things. o man that o'reily factor.

oh i forgot. pb sai d"you're face was the reddest thing in the room"


i bought gas today. last tiem i bought gas it was 2.92 a gallon. so this time i got 20.316 mpg. my car is supposed to do much better than that. last time it was 19.8 mpg

gym

day #2 at the gym. 2.47 miles in 30 min on elliptical.

how do you get those heart rate things to work. the ones where you just hold one ot the metal that are in the normal holding position. my heart rate never goes above the "below" marker and at one point it said 39. it only got up to 98 once when i was killing myself trying ot get my heart rate on that thing up. my chest is tight. i wonder where my inhalers are.

yesterday i did a different preset and did 2.85 mi in 35 min. the last 5 was cooldown.

pictures of the rest

finished santa

the finished snowman head that u saw before. ok u bought frames like this years ago. 3 for a buck at the dollar tree. i tried to go back and find them and i coudln't they also had a plastic cover and a better back. if you buy a frame like this at the craft store you get 1 for 1.29. has anyone seen these frames anywhere? (a better pic of the frame is shown in the last photo)


the ifnished snowman that you didn't see before (with the other snowman)

my most recent work of art

i should have probably resized the picture better. it is only about as long as my fingers. and the width of my fingers. i'm not in the dimension guessing mood right now.


more are here

the santa took over 12 hours. the tree took about 2-3 (that was my first one). the candy cane took 3. it was my 2nd one. the snowman was my 3rd. it was harder since my hoop wasn't big enough to get all the edges in it. i made the snowman in the plastic stuff (not cloth) next (no picture) and it was quicker. i also altered the pattern a little.

you know

my new hobby helps me to not be sad about people not posting everyday. i think i went THREE days in a row without even checking. then when i did, i loved it. there were posts. there weren't even that many but enough to make me have fun reading them.

also i'm still obsessed with checking my loans on-line and seeing after payments post. i sent more money that will post tomorrow. this is probably a good addiction to have. then my highest interest rate loan will be paid off in no time. (i haven't started paying off extra on the smaller interest rate ones yet.) pb's interest rates are higher mostly, but his loan websites aren't as fun.

wow

i checked everywhere and it was less than a foot from me when i made hte last post

uh o

i can't find my new voter registration card. it was in my purse for so long but it was too big for my n ormal wallet. i took it out jsut a few weeks ago. where did it go???

the gym was fun today. if they didn't close i would have stayed. i got addicted to the lifetime movie. there were maybe 15 women there. there was one guy when i got there but he left. i guess the football games keep the guys out of there.

exciting

i went to crafts stores 4 different days this week. (starting monday)

if i wake up earlly enough tomorrow i might go to delmont to the dollar tree to buy some craft accessoories. i'm also going to pat catan's tomorrow.

my checkbook is not balanced.

my new hobby is too time consuming.

today

i went to joann fabrics today. i saw stuff i bought at pat catan's eysterday and the day before for double what i paid. some things were only 1 cent more or 10 cents more. well to be fair the 1 cent more thing was 28 cents to 29 cents. the thing is joann fabrics had a bigger selection. i wandered around the store a few times and couldnt find the pencils you use to draw on fabric. i was afraid to ask someone, since the fabric lady kept talking to me forever. also pb cooked dinner and i was in a hurry. stupid traffic.

on a side note; the dinner was tortillini. it was supposed to be cheese. it was homemade from the italian bakery that is by miracle mile. but it was meat. i was highy disappointed. so then i made a cheese quesadilla. the chicken and cheese one was better the other day. but that one was cooked on the grill. the grill would be better anyway. but i think the chicken was better anyway.

happy halloween

i didn't do anytihing on my to do list except give out halloween candy.

then on the news they talked to some pediatrician and she said kids should only have 1 piece of halloween candy every other day. and she was talking like that's a lot and that's if you want to get them fat.

lab reports

well you know how when you write a lab report and you're on the results section and after liek 3 hours you hate it. and you just want to quit. well imagine doing that 8 hours 2 days in a row at work. results section is 40 pages long w/ . also that it's hard work and you're totally confused. the more you look at it the more confused you are. it makes the day so tiring. ugh

fun

Source

i just cross stitched a christmas tree ornament for my tree (that i don't have yet). i went out and bought supplies. i need to get more. i still need to buy fabric to make my werath. this cross stitch job is plastic. i know you can do fabric ones but i'm not sure how to end those. well i wasn't sure how to do w/ the plasitc but it's plastic so it won't fray. maybe i should read directions.

oh how easy it is to get up with an alarm w/o hitting snooze 7 times when it's daylight outside.

clothes

today after i was awake about 4 hours i started to get dressed. i put on a shirt but left on my sleeping pants. then a few hours later i decided i was going ot the gym and put on gym clothes. then i got home and ate and then showered and put on pajamas. yes it's not even 5pm and i'm in my pjs. these pjs are real clothes for some people but not me.

i'm up

i didn't sleep til noon today. i didn't even sleep until what noon would have been if the clockes werent' changed. go me. i actually only changed some of the clocks in the house so far.

headaches

background info: from as early as i can remember utnil i went ot college i only got 3 headaches (i can tell you about them if you want). in college i got a few more. sophomore year i even had one that lasted about 2 weeks.

now everyday for the past week i've had a headache. i quit taking medicine for them. what is causing my headaches? sometimes in teh past week it's been what i thought might be a sinus headeache (right at my forhead) and now it's higher than that that hurts.

well

the test is over. 8 hours of fun. the pm part was much harder. i didn't know how to do the thermal or heat transfer ones. maybe i'm in teh wrong profession. pb couldn't do them either. the rest were ok. the morning part was so much more fun but i ran out of time.

FE exam tomorrow

i did some reviewing. all the stuff dealing w/ my major i had trouble with and had to look up the equations. when i got to the chemistry section, i got 90% of them w/o even having to look up an equation. i even remember molecular weights of different elements. i swear all the questions dealing w/ my major seem harder for me since i'm used to problems that take a half hr vs 2 minutes and so i dont have the simple equations memorized as much.

i took a half day vacation to come home and study. i ended up staying at work an extra 45 min . then i came home and showered. i think i might nap now. maybe i should eat lunch first. i'm a fatty but i should still eat. normally i eat at work but i didnt want to take a lunch and then have to stay 30 more min (even tho i did anyway). rick says i don't need to study/review. he says dave has the right idea. he doesnt know how stupid i really am though.

i'm home

the flight back wasn't so bad. the hardford airport sucks.

i can't believe how often the power goes out in our townhouse.

business trip

i'm in CT now.
that flight was the worst ever. my ears killed me. the last half hour or so were the worst. it took about 20 min after i got off the plane for my ears to get back to normal.
the plane was so small. i had 3 seats across. the aisle was not wide enough for 2 people to pass. it was funny watchign a guy walk to the bathroom and then someone being in it so they both have to back up ot one of their seats in order for the other guy to go buy. the seats were sos mall they looked like miniature seats. the flight was also quit bumpy at the landing. everyone was talking about how it was the worst flight they've been on (the landing was). i've only flown 4 other times so i dindt have much to compare to but some of these guys are in their forties and have traveled a lot.

oi

i've realized i dont' exactly remember how to do engineering problems. they are so familiar but i dont remember how to do them. now it's me being scared time.

tomorrow evening i will be on a plane to connecticut then do work stuff. then all day thursday (about 9 hours) i will be at training then spend about 5 or 6 hours doring the whole airport and flying back thing. then it will be bed time. i guess dinner will have to be in there. then friday i work. then saturday i have my FE exam. i need better self discipline. oh plus my project at work is behind so i have to work extra.

just curious

has anyone been invited to a wedding that they barely knew the person or didn't want to go but felt some obligation. they either went anyway or thought they had to give a gift since they were invited?

i had a coworker that complained she was invited to a wedding of her old roommate and that she didnt want ot go but since she had to get a gift anyway she might as well go for the free booze. do most people feel if they were invited to a wedding that they have to give a gift?

exciting

man i can't wait until tomorrow. another loan payment posts.

i've got to be the biggest loser ever. i wish i had more things that i could check the status of. i hope when i get my next RPI loan bill that they tell me how to check it online. at least when i can finally check that one it iwll be like christmas.

nightmares

csi is going to give me nightmares. a rat just crawled out of this dead woman's mouth.

I have not read the Tribune Review one yet. I'm about to.

food

2 nights in a row we cooked a real meal with multiple food groups involved. i still have 3/4 of my chicken breast left from tonights dinner. iw ould take it to work to eat but i dont' want ot have to deal with the hastel of taking it off the bone. i'm too messy and take too long to eat.

CSI

this CSI episode is going to give me nightmares. also it was goign to me my last episode of the night. i'd definitely have nightmares over it then. i might be forced to watch another one now. i've watched about 4 in a row so far.

me = nerd

i'm so hopped up from exciement. the excitement is my new money file. i have ti add up all the food stuff and all the loan stuff (etc) and then put it in a new sheet in comparison to what i have in my budget. it needs some revamping since my budget is only 1 month worth but some bills are only every 3 months. on mine i have it divided by 3. maybe i'll make 3 month comparisons. also because you can go shopping right at the end of the month and it makes it seem like you spent more in that month and then less in the following month.

maybe i'll also add a pie chart of how my money gets spent. ooo that's what i'll do now. o man the excitment. i can't even sit still.

hair

i put sponge curlers in my hair last night. i only curled the very bottom. my hair is so much smoothier and nicer today. too bad i dont usually get my shower early enough in the evening to have my hair dry enough to put the rollers in and still have my hair be dry in the morning

hmm

ok this is a felicia only post. i hope i did it right.

so excluding this week because the meals have been crazy at work. i've been eating healthier lunches. i'd take green peppers and carrots with my lunch (if i had both. i run out of green peppers first) most nights i don't snack at all after dinner. i still need to work on healthier dinners. it doesnt' help that pb doesnt eat anything healthy and then i have leftovers forever and a year. he also doesn't eat leftovers on stuff he likes the first time. so if it's unhealthy i still end up eating leftovers for awhile. i've started doing crunches again. most of the time i do them while i watch tv. i brought my weights upstairs to start lifting. i've only done that twice. i need to put together my heavier barbell so i can do things like squats and have them mean something. i walk everyday at lunch at work. so that's monday through friday. usually i do at least 20 min of some type of exercise each day on the weekend even if it is only vacuuming that is hard work.

i need to work on what to eat for breakfast. i eat breakfast at work. i take it in. usually i have multiple honeybuns or something so i dont have to take something in daily. i can't think of what else now but i have to get downstiars. i have food in the oven (broccoli and cheese thing)
