Freaking Goldfish crackers

I think there is a reason they call goldfish CRACKers that. I bought a big box for a project at school, and I can't stop shoving them into my mouth all day.

Also, there was a potluck at school... also... there was a failed field trip... and I'm clearing out the fridge... not to mention the rain. It has been both the most awesome and least awesome week for eating well... just depends how you define well.

Well it wasn't one of my resolutions, I guess I am ashamed enough to mention, I'm wearing sweats that are supposed to pretend to look like pants.

Maybe we need regularly scheduled emergency meetings?

Ugh.

I've gained almost 10 lbs since we started this, which is hardly productive.

I haven't written, volunteered anywhere, and I don't even remember what the rest of my resolutions are.

In terms of my recent resolution to keep myself sane while unemployed, I haven't been doing so hot on that either.

I thought Ass Pants event was scheduled for halloween, not August. That stupid 10lbs has me feeling a lot less motivated about it.

Brad Pitt will force me to run

So I've been pretty good about gyming it again. 5 times a week is working out, and the 5 AM time really is the best time to go. Only a handful of people and totally laid back. Shelle has gotten used to waking up early now, so we have no excuse for not making it. We were running for a few days, but started slacking on it in the last week or so. I want to go today after work, but with new comics coming out and a fresh new video game to play, I don't think that will happen. Still, I'll try to guilt trip myself into doing it. Maybe stare at a few still shots of a shirtless Brad Pitt in Fight Club.

Work is getting more and more productive. On top of taking over QA stuff for the magnet, my boss has me involved in a study that will be starting soon. It involves some pretty cool techniques, so I'm excited to be a part of it. Also, I've taken up reading some textbooks so I can be more knowledgeable about the field that I'm making a career out of. I still feel lost while reading some of it, but I'm slowly and steadily getting more comfortable with the principles and what not. Good times.

Hmm, I've been nice online. Not much of an update on that.

I went to the doctor today, she said there is nothing wrong with my knee and I have no excuse... I mean reason not to run. :(

Failutions update may edition

Okay, so have I been posting? No. Have I been doing a great job with my failutions? No. I stopped tracking on livestrong again, I feel icky and low energy. I have also been sick and have somehow hurt my knee. Also I was mean to a Stanford professor, and now I feel bad.

Somehow, even with so many things seeming so together, I still sorta feel sort of uneasy about how things are going.

So...We have 5 months till October, and summers are good times to be active. I'm with you Hayley, we should definitely not give up the TLC, and put this off for next year. It's going to be a TLC 2010. That means, changes will need to happen. Okay. I can do this... how the hell do I do this? :0( I'm definitely not happy with the changes I've seen recently.

Money is going okay, I dont think I've spent very excessively, but then again, I did just pay a 100 dollar parking ticket (from St. Patty's day) I forgot about it. And I did just buy 200 dollar glasses... and 200 dollars worth of picture frames. Also going to Jamaica. Oh, not to mention the extra gas that I've been buying for all the extra traveling.

The school year is almost over! And I think my kids are pretty darn awesome, so even if they can't add, I think maybe I did an okay job. :)

Threading water

I made a choice, I knew it wouldn't be easy, and I will find a way out of it. Feeling sorry for myself is hardly helpful.

And yet, I've been unemployed for almost 5 months. It's hard to keep enthused, because it feels as though I will never find work.

Ugh.

I had a terrible migraine this afternoon, and in a painkillers-and-agony induced delirium I ate a pint of ice cream and a personal pizza.

I feel a lot worse now, what a surprise!

Hmmm

I woke up at 7am this morning, only to spend the next 2 hours in bed watching youtube videos. I'm going to try channeling this boredom into something productive...like writing.

It'd be super helpful if you guys could suggest some things to write about!

Or maybe I should channel said boredom into studying for the GRE?

Let's do this!

Mark and I woke up at 5:30am to take a cycling class at the gym.

Now, time to study for the GRE!
