Just another manic Monday

Wow, I'm tired. My sister and 2 of her roommates are squatting here at my house for a while until they can move into their place the beginning of May. I love having my sister here. Reminds me of last summer. Good times, good times.

Anyhow, I'm just here stretched out on the couch thinking of something to blog about. I should be at FHE right now. I'm just really tired and I really don't feel like socializing right now. Weird, I know. I usually don't mind hanging out with people at church, but today, I'm just not in the mood for social interaction. My home teachers are supposed to come over after FHE, which ends in 7 minutes. I should be taking a shower, but I kind of feel like not moving right now.

Hm...Saturday was my last day at the bookstore. I am SO happy that I don't work there. Although, today when I didn't have to go into the bookstore for the first time in a month and a half, it was weird. For the past 2 weeks, I've been doing both jobs. This afternoon was the first time that I was able to go to WalMart in the middle of the afternoon. In the middle of the afternoon! I hated working there and I really think the owner needs an extra brain to make up for the lack of usage of the one already in her head.

Oh and I need to go to the dentist. My front tooth final cracked. There was already a crack there, it just hadn't fallen out yet. So this morning, after I let my sister and her friends in, I went back to bed and I don't know what I did, but I felt this piece of tooth floating around in my mouth. And I thought to myself, Aw crap. This really can't be happening. Not right now. Heavenly Father, this is really happening isn't it?...Oh I'm tired. I must sleep. That's when I went back to bed. Spit the tiny bit of tooth out and went back to la-la land for anther 5 hours. So I went to the store before work to get super glue to glue my chipped off tooth back in to place. Sick, I know. Possibly toxic? Probably. I wouldn't doubt it at all. But I can't be walking around Provo with half a front tooth. About half way through work this morning, though, I ate a jalapeño and off comes off the glued piece of tooth. My sister was still asleep when it happened so I couldn't glue my tooth back into my mouth and I had to finish my shift with half my tooth missing. I felt stupid. I felt trailer trash poor. What am I talking about? I am trailer trash poor....almost. I need to call the free dentist people or cough up a hundred and eighty bucks to have the urgent care dentist take a look at my teeth. Although, the $180 would cover a whole years worth of cleanings and check ups and x-rays. It wouldn't, however, cover the expense of bridges, root canals, possibly a few dentures....heaven knows what else I need to get to fix my teeth. All I know is that I need to fix my teeth. It just needs to be done. I hate having to cough up the money though when I could be using the money for something else.


Anyhow, I need to jump in the shower or at least brush my hair before my home teachers come.

Oh well...Good night. :-)

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]

Sleepiness becomes me

*sigh* I miss the ocean. Not really the Atlantic Ocean, although I have to say that the East Coast has some beautiful beaches. But the Pacific Ocean will always be home to me. I miss it. I miss the hot sand, the coconut scented sunscreen and tanning oil, the salty sea air, the random volleyball games, the hot surfer boys. I miss it all. Its my favorite place where you can watch the sunset while looking out over the water. Its amazing! Sure, it gets hot, but really? When you're there at the beach looking at the water, taking it all in, it doesn't really matter how hot it is. I've always loved the water. It has a calming effect over me like lavender oil in a steamy bath. I wish I could just be a beach bum for the rest of my life. I'd take photos and sell them to support my needs. Kind of like what Thoreau did at Walden Pond. I really only need the simple things in life and the beach and ocean. I could get along without my phone and definitely without my alarm clock. Just

Slowly but surely

The weight loss has slowed just a little. I've only lost roughly 3 pounds this week. But I am determined to lose at least 80 pounds by my birthday. It's a tall order that's for sure. I have about 34 days to do it. I have to lose 2.4 pounds a day to surpass my goal by a little over than a pound. I suppose I'll have to be more diligent on my diet and exercising. I won't be disappointed if I come close though. The whole point of me going on any sort of exercise/diet plan is to get healthy and to get ready for Hawaii. I refuse to fly on a plane at my current weight. Mostly because I don't want to be embarrassed if I have to get a seat belt extender. I don't want to. I refuse to be one of those people that have to get special accommodations because of my weight just to fly. I think that I've come a long way from how I ate and exercised before. I pretty much look forward to my walks every day and I don't crave soda anymore. I actually had about 4 ounces of
