I’m Not Smart Enough For My Microwave

So as I’m making lunch today (my first try at a cheesy broccoli rice concotion ^_^) I noticed as I went to defrost my chicken that my new microwave is too smart for me. With my old microwave, you just put the number of how many lbs you wanted to defrost. This microwave though, baffled me. I hit weight defrost, pounded in 1, but it wouldn’t take it. I kind of stood there for a couple minutes trying to figure out why it wouldn’t take it, when to the right of the “digital numbers” there was “OZ”. So I, being the smart cookie that I am holler “Babe! How many ounces are in a pound?” into the other room.

Sad to say, we had to google it. o_O

Just a quickie before the beau and I go see a movie. It’s been awhile since we’ve gone out with the holidays and all, but we’re going to see Avatar today. I’m excited. I’ve heard from everyone that’s seen it, that it was a killer movie. AND, it’s in 3D. haha

ttyl xoxoxo

Rain, rain, go away – I wanted to run!! *wah*

After running 2 miles the other day, and then taking a break because my legs were KILLING me, I was ready to feel the exileration of running again. Mother nature had other plans for me. It’s been dreary all day -  no sunshine, which really killed my mood. Uck. I went into work this morning with fingers crossed it would just stay cloudy. I was looking forward to it. :P

Today’s is my mom’s birthday, so real quick I wanna take a little time to say Happy Birthday Mommy. It’s sooo weird not being with you for your birthday this year. Just one of those things I’ve having to get used to with being on my own. *Wah*

I haz no green thumbs, but I like the idea.

With the beau at work tonight, I decided to browse the web and get some ideas for decorating the apartment. I realized that I’m drawn to greenery and plants a lot, which is ironic considering I’ve never really been able to keep a plant alive for more than a week. Keeping things alive is just not one of my specialities (I’m lucky I’ve been on my own for 2 months and I’m still alive, but it’s probably the beau’s doing for taking care of me, lol). This is one of the reasons I’m weary about reproducing later on in my life. Maybe plastic plants are the way to go. It would be cheaper as well, since I could do it myself. The potted plants on some of the websites I’ve been looking at are like $40-$60 a piece -  not to mention S&H. Ack!

Right now I am on IM with my wonderful mother, and I realized something – I’m turning into her and my grandmother. I always use to tease her about being on IM and sending links back and forth and “what do you think of this or this” ims, but here I am doing the exact same thing. Maybe it just means I’m becoming an adult. (;

How to score a princess…

So earlier tonight, I was doing laundry. I noticed some of the “adorable” litte shirts my beau has collected over the past few years and still wears to this day. The shirts that he wore back in high school. The shirts that (hopefully *fingers crossed*) will be gone within the next few months…I plan on going shopping. Anyways…getting off track…it’s always interesting to see a guys t-shirt collection when you move in together. Can I triple underline interesting? I wonder if WordPress will let me do that, because I should. I was trying to figure out what must be going through a guy’s head when he buys a shirt that reads “Boobies Make Me Smile” across the front. Fortunately, my findings were not to that degree. I’m just over here dealing with ghostbusters, mario, and other miscellaneous video game related apparel.

Back from Christmas Vacation

I’m “car-lagged”. I’ve been gone for the past 4 days and each day I’ve driven (or rode) in a car for 3+ hours. Bah. Last night, I got home, relaxed, pampered myself a bit, and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow. And it’s work again today. Yay. :P

I reluctantly stepped back onto the scale this morning. For the past week I didn’t count my calories, I had multi pieces of pie and sweets, ate plenty of potatoes and yummy things and was in all honesty, quite scared to step back on the scale, but I did. And I’m still 150. ^_^
I figure this is my “comfort” weight and it’ll take some hard work now to keep it lower than that.

I’m psyched for the new year. That’s when I’ll be cracking down on losing weight with new foods, new excercise routines, new motivation. I also got my boyfriend to start losing weight with me, so it won’t be such a battle by myself. (: I’m very exited.

Day One, the blogging begins.

I’ve been “vlogging” lately, and I can’t vlog about everything so I decided to finally sit down and start up a blog. It’s easier this way – I can upload an entry from my phone when I’m anywhere.

So, hello world, as wordpress likes to simply put it. I’m not gonna promise I’m real interesting or anything, but it’s here if anyone stops by to read. (:

See you soon.
