I woke up this morning to find all of my fridge magnets lining the inside of my bat tunnel sky light. This means, that while I was sleeping, the boys let themselves in (not altogether uncommon or something that bothers me), and moved them all there.
Shenanigans are to be expected. But so is retalition. Send some ideas on practical jokes my way...

The Competition Is Steep...
In the great weight loss challenge, the end of week 2 has again crowned me the winner (haha, in your face, Melly), with Melly just a mere two pounds behind me. I have lost 6 pounds in the last two weeks. Might not seem like much to you, but it's the world to me.
In the end, we aren't counting total weight lost, because we are 4 girls with very different weights and metabolisms, but instead percentage of body weight lost. So, I might win a week or two along the way in poundage, but it's anybody's game really.
As of right now, I am the lightest I have been in a number of years. It feels good. We all have our own reasons for doing this, at the basis is health. We all want to be healthier then we are now. I am not going to lie to you, I want to be cute. Restore the hotness!
With that, I have some tuna to consume.

Movie Mumblings...
I watched a whole lot of crap this weekend.
Josie and the Pussycats (Melly's choice...NOT MINE), Stick It, American Dreamz, and Miami Vice.
It was all crap!

It's About Time...
I took the test for Tuesday's Ethics class today.
Praise be, I finally got my A that I so badly needed to fix my moral.
And when checking my grades from last week, the instructor changed my grade from last week. He gave me credit for 4 , instead of 3.
I needed this badly.

Fuck That...
It was quiz time tonight.
I got another 3/5. I was fairly confident this time in that, I actually read the chapter. I am starting to wonder through my frustrations, if I simply do not test well.
This sucks. Out of a possible 10 points, I only have 6. This simply will not do.

A Mind Fuck...
All I have been thinking about is how good I have been doing this week, on the health front.
Now, I want an oreo. I hate those gross little cookies and all the black cookie crap in your teeth. I hate them so much, why do I want some?

A Reality Check...
Had my first quiz in Ethics last night. These are all done online.
Yea, I didn't pass. I got 3/5 points. That's a 60% No good. I like the instructor thou. He's crazy, but I like him. That's probably why I like him actually. He basically told me in class today (there's 8 in this class) that he intends to push me, because he thinks I have more to say then I offer up. I think I am going to like that. Today he tried to get a rise out of me and it almost worked. I feel like it's an amusing game to him to see how long I can hold out.

Oh Yea, I Geek Like That...
Oscar noms came out today. And in true fashion, the gauntlet has been thrown down.
I say this every year, but....this is my year!

New Beginnings...
2007 has been the start of a whole new Juicy.
I started out fresh in a new apartment. There is such a happy air here.
I went back to school. It's going to be tough, but I think I can handle it.
I have been taking this whole healthy way of life thing, rather seriously. I am working out 5 days a week for like 45 minutes. I am keeping a watchful eye on what I am eating. I would very much like to lose 25 pounds before Joe and Bunny get married at the end of May. My girls and I are allt aking this weight loss/exercise competion very seriously. I would like to be seriously smaller when Annie in 16 months, so this is a good way to get me into the habit of things.
I have a whole new attitude on things now. Like last night when I saw some friends of mine that I only see once a year, and someone complimented the weight I have lost. I graciously accepted it. Goddamnit, you should compliment me. I lost 25 pounds since I saw her last, I do look better and I worked hard for it.
I am really looking forward to what the rest of the year holds for me. This is my time, and there's no stopping me now.
And as a bonus, I get to order Goo Goo Dolls tickets tonight!

Not Sneaky Enough...
I have been dodging the Census lady for days. She caught me tonight.
These are retarded questions.
These are retarded questions.
I Am Looking For A Dare To Be Great Situation...
I am finding myself having to respond to the same question over and over:
To which I can only respond, "Why Not?"
The way I look at it is this. I can keep doing what I am doing. Everyday for the rest of my life. Keep working my two jobs, living in medicore apartments, and just living the same life every day. Waiting for someone to die or retire, so I can get ahead at my job.
I can work to make something of myself and strike out of this life I have set for myself.
Everytime the question is posed, I always want to answer with, "I am looking for a dare to be great situation."
Next time, I think I will.
"Why do you suddenly want to go back to school?"

How About That...
Last night, I got bored at went to bed at 10. This morning. Despite that I am well rested, I feel a little left out. I always have this wierd concern that I am going to miss out on something by sleeping.
Last night, I did. Evidently, the entire building played a rousing game of beer pong. The only reason I knew anything had gone on is that when I woke up, there was money next to the beer jar. Not just the standard dollar or two...$26. I opened the fridge to find that most of the beer was gone. I had to smile. I really only knew it was a matter of time before that happened. So, I tromped next door to see if that's where it went, only to find my silly boys still awake.
Worked out last night like a good girl. And going again tonight. Today is actually kind of busy. I am going to have coffee with my sister-in-law right after work. Then, I have to go to the store and restock the beer. Then it's work-out time.
Who is running up and down the stairs at 7 am?
I am well rested today...but feeling cheated. Classes start tomorrow and I am scared. I have to leave for work in 3 minutes and I am sad. I wanted to have lunch with Bartender today, and he'll be in a coma. So. I guess that's one less thing I have to do today then.

The Greatest Game Ever Played...
Is evidently Ding-Dong-Ditch. Just ask us. We can prove it. However, the scampering of little feet down the hallway, does decrease it's effectiveness. It actually feels like I just live in one very oddly laid out house the way we all come and go between the two apartments sometimes.
Have to leave for my orientation at school in a few minutes. I am only staying long enough to get my planner and ID and I am outta there. Guess I am really doing this. Scary. Classes start Thursday. I still wonder if I can do this. Did I tell you I changed majors already? Nice, huh? Buh-bye Business Administration. Hello, Marketing.
Melly and I joined Anytime Fitness this morning. It's part of our competition with Kiki. I will own those two before I am done. More on this to come yet.
It's cold in here. All the time. Like Mason St. cold. Only a few of you will understand that...but that means really cold.
Well, I guess I should go. Gotta get out to school. Just thought I owed you an update.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda...
So many things I was to do today.
Join the new gym that happens to be a block away. But we all drank a little too much last night and no one besides myself felt like going.
Mail some stuff. Yup, got the internet and sat on my ass.
And soon, I am going to work. Blag!

October...
A girl sends herself to LA for her birthday and she's only supposed to pick one picture?!?! Ok. So this was in downtown LA. Hollywood, darling. Right outside the Chinese theatre. Don't ask me what it is...I don't know. I picked this because...damn, I look tan.
September...
September marked Kiki's 21st birthday. She was legally able to do what she had been doing every weekend for 5 years. Melly marked it by making her a rather large post bar drink, that may have kicked Kiki's ass.
August...
As summer started to draw itself to a close, so did the softball season. Bartender decided to mark the last game of the season by getting blindingly drunk and passing out in the bathtub.

The Begining Of Summer...

The Taco Nazi...
Why is it that everytime I go to Taco John's they are always out of Potatoe Ole's? Do they not know my heart yearns for them? I believe that they have a personal vendetta against me.
In other news, I am moving Friday into the new place. Should be a busy day for me seeing as how I have to do it all in one day. I have never had to do that before. I am not entirely sure if I will have any help, so that should make it interesting. My new roommate has actually been crashing on my couch the last few days because he forgot to let our current landlord know that there was a small gap in between housing. Oh well, we are going to be living together by the end of the week, what's a few day early.
Got a 5% raise at work today. Shocked me actually. They don't seem to like me most days.
Paid my tuition too. So now, I am really broke. I sometimes wonder if I don't have too much on my plate right now. Am I even capable of going back to school and doing well? Can I do that and two jobs? Am I just headed for a breakdown? I guess we will see. Actually, the stress of moving and wondering if I can get it all done has me thinking a breakdown is just on the horizon. But then again...I underestimate myself.
Hmm, well what have you thought of my year in pictures so far? I think from June on through to the end, they probably get funnier, at least for me they do. Well, maybe once I am all settled...I will talk about how this last year changed me.
Back to work for now.
