Preparing for the Holidays

In exactly one week is Christmas...Can you believe it? I'm excited. Confession: I actually have all of  my shopping done over a week before Christmas!!!!! This has not happened in forever. I just need to wrap them. I can't wait for my family to see their presents...and just in case they read this I am not saying what I am giving them. Plus I think I got some pretty good Secret Santa presents for the person I was shopping for. Who ever has me is doing a great job.

So the plan to lose over 35 lbs by July is going to be a challenge. 1) It is the holidays and I do not want to gain weight I have already lost. 2) I need to try to find time to workout. 3) I just got Coldstone and Biggby giftcards. I can use them before the new year, but I still have them in my possession. 

I can do this though. I found a diet I am going to try and if it doesn't work, I'll return to the one I used this summer to lose 15 lbs. 

We have decorated for the holidays...sort of. We didn't decorate like my house downstate, but we did do some decorating. The tree is up and decorated. As we don't know where our angel is...other than in the storage unit...we used one of my little angel decorations, tied it to the tree with fishing line, and put two little mice under it. It is adorable and fun. 

Finally, I got my grades for my first semester of grad school. I got a 3.75!!!!!! YAY!!!!! 3 As and 2 BAs!!!! 

The End for now...

Life Keeps Changing

So a lot has happened since my last post...and when I say a lot I mean A LOT!!!! Instead of giving all the details, as I've told these stories a lot, I will give you the brief short story of my life the past couple weeks.

C met my parents for the first time. He liked them and my brother and they liked him. I returned to school and a few days later C called and broke up with me. He said he couldn't connect or open up with the distance and our busy schedules. C also said that we are at different points in our lives and that he can't share in the experiences I am having. I understand the last half, but he didn't even talk to me about the way he felt so that we could find a way to work on it. That is probably the most irritating part of it.

This weekend I went to da UP to see my friends and brother. I had a blast and enjoyed every minute of it. Saw lots of friends, painted something at HotPlate, and ordered the bridesmaid dress I will be wearing in my friend's wedding.

As the school year winds down, I am getting tired of all of the work. I have one final done. I have another final I'm working on. I have a project to do. I have a final to take. And I'm done with clinic!!!! That is a lot going on I know, but I'm enjoying life. I'm enjoying school. I really don't mind being single again. I don't have to worry about finding time to spend with my boyfriend or how I look or anything like that. Plus I've been single so long, I'm no good at being in a relationship.


I also found out today that I have had over 100 pageviews. YAY!!! Just a poll to see how many people who are actually reading this, How many of you are happy with how your life is right now?
