things i've learned

I've learned a few things the past couple weeks:

#1. There is a significant lack of spoons in my house. Apparantely I eat a lot of food that requires me to eat it with a spoon and they are ALWAYS dirty.

#2. You are never too old to need your Mommy. Had a rough and emotional week at work. Went over to my parent's house on Thursday night. A talk, a good cry, and a couple hugs from my Mom and I was able to put some things into perspective.

#3. The first "Twilight" movie is exceptionally cheesy. Almost to the point where I'm not sure if I can ever watch it again.

#4. Veggie lasagna is really good. I have the recipe if you're interested. It's easy to make.

diets and roommates

I stepped on the scale yesterday morning for the first time in a few months. Bad idea. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was still pretty bad. So, I am back on a diet starting Monday morning. I went to Wal-Mart yesterday to stock up on Slim-Fast and fruits and veggies and will be trying to lose weight for the next 4 months. I've given myself a deadline of 12/20. I'm not aiming towards a specific goal weight-wise. My goal is to be good and stick to the plan until then. 19 weeks. This blog may turn into my diet journal in an effort to keep me motivated.

In other news, I'm getting a roommate. One of my best friends, Katy (who was one of my roommates the year I went to Dixie State College in St. George) is moving to Phoenix in 2 weeks and will be living with me! I'm excited. It's going to take some time getting used to living with someone again (and having to share a bathroom) but it will be fun to have someone else to hang out with and be a geek with :)
