amazing weekend.
Crimson and Grey. The Bookie. picking up cap and gown (weeeiiirrrrd). neuro undergrad poster fair. mass grocery shopping. pizza and movies. sleep. another movie. vet med open house. Sella's. palouse mall (new shoes!!!). Say Yes to the Dress. COLBIE CAILLAT! Say Yes to the Dress. sleep. pancakes. church. another movie. good-bye :(

Speaking of "mama"s...Rachel had her baby this morning! I'm so happy for her. Praying for his health!

Praying for: Japan. Sorin. RC. CL. "lost". My new home. you.

sour grapes.
I find that I am not a very consistent blogger, as much as I'd love to be. I apologize for that, if anyone is actually reading.
Right now my tummy is grumbling and all I want to eat is wheat thins with the amazing spinach dip my amazing roommate made...but instead I'm eating grapes that are so tart that my lips purse with every bite. Why am I doing this you may ask? Because of a little thing called WeightWatchers. That's right folks, I'm on a diet.
For the past 16 years of my life I've lived at an unhealthy weight. I can't even fathom what it'd be like to be "thin" or to not feel "fat" ALL the time. Now of course I realize that being "thin" doesn't mean you won't feel "fat", but even so, there has never been a day in the last SIXTEEN years that I've looked in the mirror and thought "You look thin today". I tell you this not to be depressing or through myself a pity party...just to give some background.
So summer after 7th grade my mom and I went on WeightWatchers and I lost twenty-five pounds! Go me! Though, once the school year started, just put it back on :( Anyway, this year I've been increasingly frustrated with my lack of weight loss considering how much I went to the gym (4-6x a week!). It occurred to me that while I was working out a lot, I was also eating a lot. So I thought to myself 'When is the only time you've ever successfully lost weight?' and of course that summer popped into my head.
So there, that's why I'm now on WeightWatchers.
How's it going? Well, week one was a breeze...I thought to myself 'This is great! I'm totally into this!' and I lost...(drum roll please)...FOUR AND A HALF POUNDS! I was pleased.
Then "Week of Doom" (as I like to call it) struck...and so did "falling off the wagon". Ugh. Fortunately I only gained 0.1 lb, but let me tell you, it's hard to get back on once you fall off.
It's only been A WEEK! I am sort of frustrated with myself because I haven't been doing well this week either, but I'm trying to take one day at a time...wish me luck.
I'll keep you posted!

changes left and right.
1. Moving out of the apartment because rent hike
2. Not living with Allyssa
3. Not living with anyone
4. Living in a trailer
5. Having second dog
Whew...that's a lot to handle all at once. For awhile I was terrified of all of this change. I was scared of living alone, of not living with Allyssa, of not finding another place I love to live in. Next year looked super scary to me. But as I've had some time to think about it and let it settle and I'm starting to look forward to the change. I mean there is something so special about living with your best friend and the growing and learning and laughing etc, but I'm also looking forward to living on my own terms, plus I've always been so scared of being on my own, maybe it's time to face the music.
2 bdr. 1 bath. wash/dry/dw/fridge/range/oven. fenced yard. lots of windows.
new home? we'll see.
