Depressing

I went shopping today, armed with a $50 gift card to Target (thanks again Holland!) and came home with a new super red purse (love it!) and a little something we don't like to call, depression.

I 'tried' on clothes, and nothing looked good. I was SO mad when i got home, that i ran downstairs and worked out for an hour. I feel like crap (well now i don't cause i just got home from a 30 min walk) about myself. I don't feel 100% and i should.

I have been eating good though. Except for some pop and a little bag of Famous Amos cookies....oh and some of a cinnabun.

But still, the point is, i want to feel better about myself, and that can't be accomplished with me sitting around all day, eating cookies, and drinking pop.

I vow to eat better, work out regularly, and try to gain more confidence in myself.

ps. it is freakin' cold out. it's rainy and freezing. like i said, i just got home from a walk, and i thought my ears were going to fall off. Really, really.

Creativeness

I'm sitting at work at the moment.

And my creative juices are flowing.

And I want to write, but I can't because what I was writing yesterday is on my laptop AT HOME.

SO, I have to sit here for another 2 hours until I get to go home for the day.

Today was not very productive. Lets see. I came to work early in the morning. I discharged books, wrote down holds. Then my co-worker Erica wanted me to stamp millions of books (okay, not millions, but there were a lot and it took me like 4 hours to finish them with interruptions. Now, I'm sitting here. My back hurts, my feet hurts, i'm hot.

I just wanna go home.

:(

I don't even know

I don't know what to blog about today.

Maybe i'll just blog whatever comes to mind.

....

I don't even know.

Maybe i'll talk about the book(s) that I am reading at the moment. Yeah, I know it's terrible, but i'm currently in the process of reading 3 books. They're good ones though....

I'm reading Glass Houses by Rachel Caine (i think), Fancyfree and Footloose (i think that's what it's called by some author i don't remember either), and a Charmed book by some author. Hah...wow, I have a crappy memory.

I read one during school, the other during work, and i actually haven't cracked open the other for weeks. I put it in my living room a while ago, and now there's a nice coating of dust on the cover. That's probably not a good sign. I hate starting books and never finishing them though. It makes me feel, like, not a failure, but i don't know..incomplete?? I'll NEVER know what happend in the end unless i start reading it again later.

For instance, for the book club at school, we had to read Jodi Picoult My Sister's Keeper, and i felt soooo bad because i just COULD NOT for the life of me get into the book and read it..(sorry Jodi!). Realistic fiction about a girl with lukemia just isn't my kind of reading. Anways, i couldn't finish the book, so i ended up skipping to the last few chapters (or pages cause the chapters were really short) and the end was so sad and horrible.

So yes, i hate not finishing books, because i'll probably miss something really good in the end.

Quick change of subject, the Piston's are playing tonight. I think against the Denver Nuggets.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY TRADED BILLUPS AND MCDYESS FOR ALLEN IVERSON. I'm sorry, but A.I. is a little drama queen; always falling all over the court, trying to draw fouls. It's rediculous. But i better start liking him because he's here to stay for a while.

I just won't be happy about it........

Well games starting!!

ps. CONGRATS ALMOST PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happpy Halloween!

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while.

Busy, busy, lazy, busy. Haha.

Well, to catch up on the news, which really isn't all that much....except that it's HALLOWEEN!

Halloween is so fun and festive. People dressed up for school. I saw a Scooby Doo (he was this HUGE kid wearing this skin tight Scooby outfit, and it hugged the WRONG places lemme tell you), Thing 1 (or 2?), Ninja Turtles, Vikings, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Bumble Bee, lots of cats, a washing machine (seriously..), and lot's others. The Ninja Turtles won the costume contest. They were pretty sweet.

I'm going over my friends house later and handing out candy to the kiddies with him. I'm pretty excited. I've never handed out candy before. And seriously, if I see any kids over the age of 14, I'm not giving them jack. Sorry, but you too old. Go home.

Happy belated birthday me!

Happpppppy Birthday me. :-)

Yesterday was my birthday! It was lovely. I had some family over and a few of my friends and we had a good 'ol time. And I talked to some old friends whom I haven't heard from much at all in the past few months, so that was cool/interesting all at the same time. But it was fun nonetheless.

:o)

Hmm. OH I got the new book by P.C. Cast- Untamed. I'm only on chapter 4 (?) and I love it so far. And I also read (I can't think of the authors on the top of my head) Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (yes, it's a book and it was super good) and James Patterson Sunday's At Tiffany's. That one was so romantic and lovingly lovely. It made me feel good. I like those kinds.

But I've been catching up on a lot of reading these past 2 days. I've been getting really lazy lately, ordering million's (not literally) of books and then not reading them. BUT, I'm slooooowly going through them now.

Whoaa

So this week has def. been a whirl.

The city I live in received terrible news this morning, that one of my schools students, very unfortunately had his life taken from him last night when he was hit by a car while walking across the street. You don't know Vince, and I didn't either even though he was in one of my classes, but please, keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers. RIP Vince P. 10-8-08

Oh a higher note, my birthday is tomorrow!!!
How exciting.
Some families stopping by as well as my some friends and we're gonna eat cake and be merry.
Doesn't that sound just great??
I made it through another year. Go me. :-)

Other news, other news....
Hm..well I really can't think of much.

Oh, I have finally started kicking my butt and making myself work out. So I've kept it up for the past week and a half (knock on wood). Again, Go me. :-)

...Loooooooove

Happy October!

Happy October everyone (even though I'm a day late)!!

And while it just basically turned into the fall season a few days ago, the temperature in good 'ol Michigan is freeeeezing.

I have been bundled up all day. Tomorrows high is going to be 56 degrees, and I'm already regretting going to a football game. I'm going to have to definitely wear layers, and bust out my shoes!! Sorry flip-flops..you have been very good to me.

Other news, the V.P. Debate is on tonight, and I'm planning on watching SOME of it. I would like to go to bed early tonight to try and catch up on some shut eye.

I took this quiz on ABC.com : http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/MatchoMatic/fullpage?id=5542139
and it matched me up with McCain. While McCain isn't a terrible Presidential Candidate, I also like Obama. I wish there was a McBama....

Last night I stupidly left my contacts in and I woke up around 4am with my eye's pasted shut. It was very interesting. I had to get out of bed, and rip them out of my eyes so they wouldn't stick in the morning. Just an interesting little fact to share. :-p

Tomorrows Friday! Finally.
Another week has past.

TGIFT. (thank gosh it's friday tomorrow)
