Merry Christmas!

I made it through the first semester of library school with A's! Yay for me!

Get to go visit my family the week after Christmas! Yay again!

Only two (half) days left to work! Extra Yay!

and 164 after not really trying too hard. I'm just trying to maintain for the rest of the year... that'll be a challenge at Mom's!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Watch me on Jeopardy! this Friday... and Happy Thanksgiving!

167.5 (Not too shabby considering I've just started up again after taking a couple months off...)

Busy, busy, busy

Ugh. Library school sure is taking a lot of time! And I'm not even doing everything I need to... Midterm next week.

At least it's going to be Fall Break!

163.5

Nope, not dead.

Just busy... went to Ohio, Los Angeles, and Alabama since I wrote last... haven't gotten drunk much. Played (and won) some poker. I'll try to expand on that stuff soon.

165 (hey, at least I'm maintaining)... and I won the bet (there's more to expand on there too!)

Vacation!

Yay! Off to Ohio in a little bit! And not coming back for a week... but after that, I'll have to tell you about Anne's wedding! :)

165... not too bad, considering!

Lost Weekend, Part XXIV!

Still drinking like a 19 year-old! Friday night, Paula and I went to see Guys & Dolls (which was okay), and then went out after... didn't get home until 5 AM! Needless to say, all the things I was going to do on Saturday didn't get done cause I felt like crap...

But we had a good time :)

And... (I think in part due to the weekend dehydration) 163.5!!!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot...

Went to happy hour at Keith Street (the happiest place in Clemson) on Tuesday, and some drunk little painter (houses, not art) bought me four beers. Of course, he didn't get a ride home like he asked for, but he did get a very polite "thank you," and I got out of KSP for FREE!

Sometimes being a girl ROCKS!

I'm ba-ack!

Ok, I've actually been back a while, but dang! It takes forever to get caught up on email and work when you've been out...

And yes, I AM tan and lovely. Girl from Ipanema ain't got nothing on me. Well, except for the young and tall parts... :)

I don't recommend going on vacation in a one-bedroom condo with one's future in-laws, especially if they like to wake up at 6 freaking AM and they don't know how to whisper! I was not a pleasant girl to be around.

We went to the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, and that was pretty fun, except the end SUCKED! I hate Jimmie Johnson. But at least Jeff Gordon didn't win...

That's the short version of vacation. Putt-putt was played, the ocean was boogie-boarded, and I didn't have nearly enough beer... but it still beats working!

AND... 167.5, baby!

See ya!

I am leaving RIGHT NOW for vacation. Be back Tuesday, all lovely and tan... :)

Damn the diet as well!

I'll be away...

Going to a conference in Columbia tomorrow, so we're heading down tonight... I'll miss my sweetie :(

168 (I need some help getting off this plateau...)

Yeah, well...

It's been a busy weekend, with Timken Open House and a bridal shower for Anne on Saturday. Plus I finally finished organizing the kitchen. Next up, the office! Yippee...

167.5 (hey, it's progress...)

I LOVE my TiVo!

It's just the coolest thing ever! I did turn off the suggestions thing though, as it was recording at all hours, and the red light woke me up! :) But I'll be able to watch Good Eats whenever I want-- they took it off Saturday morning :(

It's intersession, so all is peaceful and calm in Clemson. I love this time of year!

168.5 (considering how bad I've been for the last week, that's not too bad)

Oh, the Calories!

Six, count 'em, six beers yesterday... and I really don't feel that bad. But then add a yummy Tiger Town chicken quesadilla and some Ben & Jerry's ice cream (Coffee, Coffee, Buzz Buzz Buzz!) and my calorie budget has been shot to hell!

But, still... 168.5. We'll see if it stays that way for tomorrow's weigh-in.

TiVo comes today! Yay!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

It's a lovely day for celebrating!

168.5 (sorry, I started celebrating with carne asada for dinner last night... hopefully I'll lose it again as quickly)

Woo Hoo!

166, BABY!

Not a bad weekend, overall...

I had a pretty nice weekend, thanks for asking. I just wish we didn't live right next to Cody's best friend... when he's spending the night over there, he acts like he has two houses and can just run back and forth between them... NOT!

And then yesterday, his mom dropped something off over there, and came over to our house (interrupting our restful Sunday afternoon) to ask if they'd been there lately... she's lucky I didn't answer the door!

But other than the relatively minor annoyances caused by the ex and her son, a lovely weekend...

170 (dammit-- must be all muscle from Pilates, right?)

Expensive Day

Sigh... today I get the third replacement side-view mirror for my 1998 Saturn Piece of Crap. How much do you want to bet my next car (which won't be a Saturn) will have those flex-type mirrors?!

And then I get to go to the girly doctor. Just a yearly exam, but it's gonna be pricey. I have a Health Savings Account now, so my insurance is even worse than it used to be (I never thought anything could be worse than regular BCBS of SC.)... and National Bank of SC sucks for service and locations. The nearest branch is in Spartanburg, I believe. Thanks, you fuckers in Columbia, for picking a bank that's not at ALL convenient.

I'm baaaaaaaack!

And I plan to post a lot more often. Since Thanksgiving, let's catch up...

Well, we've been clearing the land we bought. It's looking pretty good, although I would've left more trees. I'll try to find a picture to post tomorrow or Friday.

Something like two Amazing Races have come and gone. I don't think I'm going to watch the next one, with the families... yuck-- kids.

I've been on a diet since the beginning of the year, and lost a total of 6 pounds. Sorta depressing, but I like to think some of the fat is being replaced with muscle from doing Pilates. I need to lay off the beer though. I think the diet bet I have going will help-- if I lose, I can only have 3 beers from July 16 through the end of the year. Octoberfest, Fall for Greenville, and my birthday! I'd better win! :)

And oh yeah, I applied to library school. Haven't heard back yet, but hopefully I'll be in the distance ed program through the University of Alabama... ROLL TIDE!
