Health Issues

So my eating habits. Not so great. A little bit better than my blogging habits but still! Lately I have been indulging on a regular basis. And when they say indulge they usually mean something you do every once in a while. So I am making changes! I am going to stop drinking caffeine (something I actually started about a month ago, I'm so proud of myself) and stop eating..........sugar. Natural sugar? You're ok. Jelly beans, gummy bears, churros, etc. You're outta here.

And I don't say this to put myself up on a pedestal. No, I don't. I'm doing it for a certain reason. And that reason is: today I had jelly beans for breakfast for probably the 8th time in the past two weeks. And by lunch time I was shaking, dizzy and all around, not a happy camper. And it kinda scared me. So I'm going to eat really yummy foods that are a little bit better for me. A little bit. Dont expect me to just jump into the deep end, here, people.

McDonalds in fine.

Which brings me to another point? During the Winter Olympics (which I LOVE), they show these McDonald's commercials with the athletes all eating McDonalds and stuff...really? You think highly trained, fine-tuned machines like Olympians are going to eat McDonalds? Probably not.

Anywho, I digest. Wish me luck! And if anyone has any awesome sugar-free recipes, send 'em here!

Cold, Cold, Cold

1. Its COLD outside

2. I have a COLD

3. COLD pretty much just sums up my life right now.

I'm in the laaaaaast stretches of my second-to-last semester and it is killing me! I guess doing one 10 page paper a week can burn you out. Shoot. The worst part is taking a break right before the end! I know, most people think I'm being terribly blasphemous right now, but listen, you. You get on a fantastic role, writing, writing, reading, reading, writing and then BAM! just like that you're taking a break, eating lots of food, shopping for stuff, etc. etc. etc. and who has time to think about writing?! So now it is Tuesday, I promised I'd get four pages of my last paper done by now and what do I have? ONE. ONE stinkin' page that I think I might just delete in sheer frustration. Updates next week when this has all blown over :)

Funny For The Day...

Wait, wait, wait...what?

Am I the only one who thinks its c-r-a-z-y to hold the global warming summit in December? In Copenhagen? I don't know about you, but by the time December rolls around, I'm kinda hoping that global warming kicks in...like, I start burning aerosol cans, tires, what have you...ok, not really, but I imagine myself doing it. I say, let us hold the summit in July when we're all like, 'holy crap, global warming sucks!'

Profound. I know.

I'm Sure I'm There...

My birthday is coming up soon (3 weeks!)....and I'm going to be 22. I'm going to estimate that this is birthday will indicate that one quarter of my life has gone by...more or less. As such, I'm thinking I'm going to have a quarter-life crisis...as per this 'map' ... I'm pretty excited about it because I think I'm going to take the 'travel the world' option as my next move :)

Take That iPhone

I think Apple should totally go for this...

New Car! Its Fantastico!

So Luke sold his Mustang....it was hard at first, but we got something so much better! With winter looming and a move to Wisconsin a real possibility...and my insecurity with driving in the snow...and....etc. We decided a small SUV would be a good decision. So Luke went car shopping on Monday and I was planning on going on Tuesday. Well, on our way home Luke and I decided to look at the ONE place that was open past 7pm...so we go and are greeted by a great guy named Travis. He's showing us all the cars, but none of them are really 'jiving' with me. I really wanted a Jeep Liberty or a Ford Escape with pretty low miles, etc, etc. Luke wanted a Toyota 4Runner, but no luck there either. So Travis actually wants to drive with us to Salt Lake the next day to check out the other dealers with us...I was like, sure and Luke was like, cool...and at about 9pm, we decided the car shopping would reconvene Tuesday.
So, we're leaving, right? And Travis is calling Luke right as we're about to pull out onto University. He's like, 'come back now!' so we do...and what do we see? A Ford Escape, 18,000 miles, LEATHER interior, roof rack, and all around awesome-ness......now I don't want to sound ridiculous, but it was love at first sight....so Luke negotiates, and negotiates....I was the worst, because I was so excited, every offer that came in I was like, yeah! let's buy it now! Luke calmed me down and haggled his the price down $3,000! He's awesome :) Oh, and then Travis took us to dinner. Bonus!
The next day, we give them a cashier's check and now we are the proud new owner of Arnold (as I have christened him): He is beautiful :)
