Something New

I am continuing the countdown to the end of this semester! I am also about to start working on a new countdown. But first, I'll need help from my computer genius brother. It will be posted on here though!

So, back to the countdown. I currently have..........

2 weeks!!

Yep! 2 more busy, dragging weeks of school. The best part is that after the 2 weeks are over, I have one more academic semester to go. Wow. That sounds super weird! It will sound even more strange this coming December when I say...."I intern in a month." It is all part of time! I can't even believe that 4 years ago this May I graduated high school. What have I done the past 4 years???

Class was canceled for us today. So mom and I had a day in the Boro. I went by work to pick up my pay check, and saw everyone. I love my co-workers. They are the best group of people that I have ever worked with. I have worked a job ever since I was 16 years old. I have done a handful of different jobs. Worked with different people. But the "Big C" group is by far the best. I'm not sure if they know that :)

So for a few weeks, I have been wanting to work a something that every girl wants to work on this time of year. Their body.

First of all, I want to say that I don't like my body, but I am content with what the scale says. I have lost a lot of weight since September, while gaining a tad bit back here lately. So the scale and I, we have become pretty good friends ha! That is definitely something that most girls are not cool with. I have tried a bazillion times to stick to a "workout plan" from magazines that I get in the mail that I absolutely love. For some reason, I can't stick to those. I thought about joining a gym that I tan at, but I really don't wanna go by myself. And let's face it, I'm not a "friend-like" gal. In more clearer terms, I'm not the type of girl to have a ton of girl friends to go out with and do things with. I'm not sure why, I'm just not that way. I have had girls that wanted to be best buds with me before, but I just never did care to be buddy-buddy with anyone.

ANYWAYS, totally of subject! So, I don't want to go to a gym by myself all the time. Also, I don't get off work until 6:00 p.m., and who wants to go to the gym right after work and not get home until 7:30 or so?? Not I. So I'm doing some shopping. DVD, equipment, and whatever else there is involved in order to "get fit."

I know that I will be walking some. I like walking by myself sometimes. Turning on my mp3 and walking, just relaxing a bit and clearing my mind. And other times, I like for someone to go with me. Talk about things or compare what we are listening to.

Last week, I noticed that I had been taking my time eating. I only eat what I fix on my plate, and don't get 2nds. I stop when I'm full. That in turn makes me wake up hungry. So, I'm thinking that if I eat light throughout the day, and eat dinner with my parents (whatever they fix) then I could notice a bigger difference than just slowing down my portions. So, today I bought some lunch fixings for me to take to work instead of buying lunch everyday.....Not only will this help me physically, but it will help on my budget :)
I also bought some 100-calorie snacks to take to work, oatmeal, and something that I'm going to try: Carnation Instant Breakfast. I am not a breakfast person at all. It is my least favorite thing to eat unless it is pancakes or waffles. So I'm going to try this drink and see if it is good.

I am hoping to find some DVDs or something to use to workout. I hope with that, watching my food, and reading my magazines I'll be able to see some inches start shedding!! I'll write down when I start, what I eat and what workouts I do each day, and I'll blog about it :)

Any Answers??

It has been raining here all day, and this afternoon we have had some storms. Nothing strong like south of us are having! I feel bad for the towns that are being destroyed by these storms. This afternoon at work, we had the t.v. on the weather channel. They were following a storm that was headed for Tuscaloosa. I watched, hoping so bad that it wouldn't hit Bryant-Denny. Luckily, it went south of T-Town, and our boys and fans can have a wonderful day tomorrow at A-Day!!

I want to welcome another follower! Hope you enjoy!

Now, I have a question about followers.....

The only way that I know how to look at my followers' blogs is to click on their picture, and click the link with their name. But, sometimes the name is not linked. So, for the followers that don't have a link to their blog, how do I view their blog? Is there a different way about doing it??

Thanks!!

What I'm Loving.....

After a week of not saying a single word, I'm back for a run down of what is going on! Which we all know is not that much....ha. So, a list of what I'm loving and what's been happening the past week. But first, I want to WELCOME two new followers!

Thanks for checking in!

Hopefully you will grab some coffee and stay a while.

I will be checking in on your blog soon!

Here we go.....

• I got to go out to eat with my parents for the first time in a while! Rosie's Cantina never fails and is delish.
• Walked the mall and window shopped, which is one of my favorite things to do.
• I applied for Internship!! I was so excited going down the list of possible schools to Intern at. I was allowed to pick four schools, but it couldn't be the school that I graduated from. I have to wait until December 1st before I find out where I'm going, which is the part I'm not loving!
• Bought a new pair of shoes for work. I ordered them online, so they aren't here yet. I stuck with New Balance, but went with bright blue trimming rather than hot pink!
• Shopped JCPenney online and found a new summer bag! I was going to order that online too, but it said there was one at my local store. I'm going to check there before I order so I don't have to pay shipping charges. 
• My brother and I went to the Avalanche Tour concert last night! The bands were Art of Dying, Halestorm, Skillet, Theory of a Deadman, and Stone Sour. Talk about awesome! That was the coolest concert I've ever been to! I have labels for the concerts I've been to, and amazing has already been taken by the Goo Goo Dolls. Cool definitely describes those 5 all in the same night! I've been looking forward to that for a long time!
• I decided to change my nail color up a little today....ha. I'm loving this electric blue!! 

 I took today off since the concert was last night. It started at 6, and Stone Sour didn't wrap it up until 11. I was able to work on a project for school. I'm ready to be finished with these projects! They are pretty big, and take days to work on and finish. Tomorrow is back to work. Extra hours at that to make up for missing today. That was by choice, so no complaining on that!

One last thing I'm loving.....
