I cannot begin to tell you fine folks how exhausted i have been for the last week. I'm sleeping plenty, my daily routine hasn't changed any, i'm eating better foods, just not as much. I don't know what the deal is, i've just been so tired. I must snap out of it! Immediately!

Tomorrow, well later today rather i start my workout adventures. I'm excited, nervous, scared, anxious, a little bit of everything, i guess. It's really important for me to stick to my plans and get in better shape. I'm going to be really upset and disappointed with myself if i get into a good workout/fitness regimen and then just stop one day. I just figure it's now or never, and i'm going to work as hard as i possibly can to look fly in a pair of jean shorts this summer and not worry about how fat and floppy i think my legs look. Whether they do or not.

I think my biggest challenge is going to be eating healthier foods that are actually affordable and for everyday people. I'm a real woman, and i'm used to eating real food. I don't eat couscous with chickpeas, black beans and guacamole(nothing is wrong with this!) but I eat fried chicken, hamburgers, potatoes, and tacos. It's just what i'm used to. I'm not real sure how to eat healthy, i guess. However, i am not giving up. I will figure it out. There is no stopping me! No way, no how!

Inspiring photos to get in shape for summer time.

I can't wait.

Wish me luck!

new adventures.

I'm really wanting to get in shape. It's not something i just decided yesterday, it's been on my mind for months and months and months, and now i think i've decided it's the right time to get to work on this. I think i'm in the right frame of mind, i have a goal as motivation. So, last night i took the first steps on getting into better shape. After browsing around the workout aisle in wal mart for a while, i decided i was completely dumb when it comes to working out, and i have no idea what to do. So, i decided to get a workout dvd.

A Kim Kardashian DVD

I have no idea whether this is going to work or not. Hopefully it does because i see no trouble whatsoever in obtaining a beautiful backside and fitting into smaller jeans in a week. So, i bought the video as well as some weights, a jump rope, and some healthier foods to keep around the house.

I do plan on putting a lot of effort into this. So, i'm going to try to weekly document my successes or failures along the way. If any of you have any adivce or tips i would love to hear from you. I honestly have no idea what i'm doing. I'm just trying. I'm not really even trying to lose weight. I'd just like to tone up and lose inches. I don't own a scale, so the numbers don't even matter to me. I'm more concerned about being healthy and feeling better.

Do any of you guys work out on a regular basis? If so, what exercises do you guys do? I'd love to know all of the advice that you have. Wish me luck, i'm starting monday!

catching up.

Today is all about catching up for me. I'm doing laundry, blogging, cleaning, watching lost, and knitting(hopefully).

We've lived in our new house for about a month and half now, and i haven't done a single thing in my bedroom. I have no idea why. I've had big plans for it all along, i just haven't felt motivated to work on it whatsoever. It's pretty small area and i haven't figured out a way to arrange my furniture yet. I only have my bed, a bookshelf and my gigantic yarn storage system thing. We like to to call it the yarn wall. Everything is a jumbled up mess in there right now. So, here is some pretty pictures for you, and hopefully some inspriration for me.

I like these rooms a lot because there are lots of things to look at. I want a room with a lot of spunk and personality. I really just need to stop thinking and start doing!

I've got clean linens that i need to get in the dryer so they can go on bed. Then i think i'll hang up some pictures.

Also, i ordered a pizza from the pub earlier. Mind you, the pub is 5 minutes from my house. I ordered the pizza at 6:14. It's now 7:32. And my boyfriend is the delivery pizza guy. I hope he doesn't treat all his customers like this! I'm starving, like x 4785893475983475!!!

Gotta get to work!

word to the wise

Don't wait until April 7th the file your taxes. And if you must wait until April 7th, do yourself a favor and file them with a tax filer lady or gentlemen, and not online. I was completely heinous all day yesterday because my stupid taxes were stressing me out so much. But, i finally got them filed. I woke up this afternoon, checked my email only to find that my FEDERAL AND STATE RETURNS HAD BEEN REJECTED BY THE IRS. Ok, after a brief panic attack, i got my head on straight, and followed the links provided in the email and fixed my problem. Turns out i got a number jumbled up somewhere along the way, and now it's fixed. SHEW.

I'm making a promise to myself. 

I will never file my taxes this late in the year ever again.

And i won't file them on the internet anymore either, because it's too easy for me to make mistakes.

From here on out, i'm sticking with the professionals.

like this guy!

I hope you guys are having a stress-free day. And i also really hope that you've already filed your taxes.

Yesterday was spent trying to mentally prepare myself for the terrible work week that lies ahead. One of my coworkers is taking a couple of vacation days at the end of this week, and because of that, i'm apparently supposed to pick up the slack for both of us.

This is my schedule for this week.

Monday- OFF!

Tuesday- 9pm-4am.

Wednesday- OFF!

Thursday- 9pm-4am

Friday- 10pm-8am

Saturday- 10pm-8am

Sunday- 9pm-4am

It comes out to only being 32 hours for the week, which is totally fine. But i'm working 20 of those hours in 2 days, which is totally not kind of fine. It's going to be so exhausting.

Me and Nathan enjoyed a little date night yesterday. We haven't been able to go out or do anything in forever, it seems. It's conflicting work schedules, lack of money, and when we do have time, we're too tired and i'd rather just sit on the couch and watch tv instead of going out. It was really nice to get out and enjoy some time with him. Yesterday was a really beautiful and hot day. We ended up going to get some food and watching Hot Tub Time Machine afterwards. I wanted to watch it, because i love LOVE John Cusack, and i thought it would be funny. I think Nathan ended up liking it more than me, but i just wasn't into it. I did laugh a few times, but it just wasn't for me.

Also, i'd really like to take a vacation this summer.
my backyard would work too.

ahhh, camping!

Hoppy Easter!

I hope everyone is having a Happy Easter! Easter is necessarily a holiday i celebrate, but i'm having a good day anyways.

April cooked an enormous feast this afternoon(i wish she would have woke me up to help!)and it was completely delicious. So, me and the roomies had our very own Easter-ish lunch. We had planned on going over to the Peddler's mall this afternoon, i had a sneaking suspisicion that it would be closed, and after we drove all the way across town, it was definitely closed. So, we went on down to the flea market instead. I didn't find any goodies, which always bums me out. April and Chris did pick up quite a few movies though.

Last night i had a dream that i was checking my blog, and my dashboard said i had 86 followers. I wish! I want to make new interweb blog friends, i'm just not real sure how. I don't really want to pimp myself out, but i would enjoy having some new followers, and i would enjoy following some new people!

I have to work tonight. I'm definitely not looking forward to that at all, especially after the nightmare that was last night. I get so incredibly fed up when i'm spending hours, working my tail off, not getting to take my breaks because there is so much to do, and my "boss" and coworkers are allowed to go outside 5 different times to take ten minute long smoke breaks. And i always have to stay inside, (not that i smoke anyways)and continue to work. That REALLY grinds my gears. You know what i'm saying? Shew!

I guess i'll go chill out for a while before work. Take a load off. It's really hot out today.

Catch you folks later!

Work was totally and completely horrendous this evening. It felt like i did the same thing over and over for hours, and i wasn't having any fun while doing so. Also, i think it's pretty safe to say that every looney toon in town decided to come out to Walgreens tonight. There was the weird old dude that wanted to talk me about 'As Seen on TV' products for literally 30 minutes, the couple who were completely covered in nasty, trashy tattoos and wanted to talk to me about my 'tatz', an over agressive man who kept telling how he was going to fight someone, the lady who paid for her entire transaction in dimes. It was complete madness, ALL NIGHT!

I'm so very glad to be home.

For the last few nights i've been watching Freaks And Geeks. If you have not seen this show, you have to go rent it, buy it, look it up on the internet, netflix it, you have to do something! It's a real work of art.

I never watched this show when it originally aired, and i'm glad i didn't. I would have been way too young to enjoy it. It's so relatable to every day people. I absolutely adore this show. It was canceled after the first season, which is really unfortunate. That happens with all the really good shows, just like My so-called life.You will fall in love with Jason Segel and Martin Starr's characters, they are just too sweet for life!  I recommend this show to every single person alive. It's just that good!

But, it's ten after 5. And that means it's bedtime.

Goodnight blog world!
