woohoo! one exam left to go, and i have two 99s and a 98 score under my belt. i'll take my last unit exam for psychology thursday, and then i'm done with classes til next term! :) i'm ready for a break and some work...i need the money to support my newly-formed Avon habit. yes, Avon :P next term is gonna be a killer though..a.ctually, the next two. i'll be taking 16 credit hours, and working as well....but they will all be upper division classes and stats classes...yuck! at least i put my capstone project off until the summer term...i should be able to get that done in 2 weeks or so and then be an official graduate! :) then a year off while i apply to grad schools, get something full time, and get some experience in the field. oh, and a new car :)

so i start this Body for Life program tomorrow, along with my mom and a couple other people. it's basically a 12 week program that changes your eating habits and makes sure you work out- according to the guy who made the program, most people can lose about 25 pounds of body fat while on the plan (as opposed to losing water and muscle, which most dieters end up losing. i'd like to keep my muscle thanks). i figure adding 25 or so to my 37 will start adding up to a nice little sum. i work out 6 days a week as it is, so it only makes sense i need eat the right stuff. i like it because it's not a 'diet', it's a legit change of habits where you HAVE to choose 1 portion of protein and 1 portion of carbs for each meal, and you eat 6 small meals a day. at at least two of those meals, you have a portion of veggies. i'll be eating all day, but at least it's the right stuff. like the guy who wrote the book on it said, you want to fuel your body, not starve it. yeah, staring is MY problem haha.

i can't believe it's almost christmas! and i have so many more people to buy for this year, i dunno what i'm gonna do. time to get creative i guess. a lot of people are gonna get some homemade swedish cookies :P

what a week...went by fast, but soooo slow at the same time. one of my coworkers had an eye surgery on tuesday night, so i filled in for her wed-fri....oh, did i mention her shift is 6am-10am? which meant i hauled my carcass outta bed at 4 30 am :( in all honesty, it's not a bad shift, it's just knowing that, on a regular day, i wouldn't have to be awake until that shift was over lol. but i need the hours and i'm happy to do it anyways. more money for christmas presents! and since i have a lot more people on my list this year, that's a VERY good thing! :)

we're talking about having our employee christmas party at my house sometime after thanksgiving. i think this sounds like a LOT of fun, cause for the first time i REALLY like all the people i work with. there are only 4 of us, but we all get along really well, and my boss nikki is great. my other job only has 3 people working there, and i totally enjoy them too, so i'm thinking maybe i'll just try to make it a joint-party. we all know each other anyways, so it would just be a big-ol partay :P. it's funny, but i feel like i get paid to make some friends and work out and lose weight...talk about benefits :) ok, this all sounds corny, but trust me, it's such a refreshing change from the normal work environment. i've made friends with my coworkers, and friends with the members in both towns. it's a nice feeling :)

i got to hang out with jon and daisy saturday night too. how cute is she!? i took a couple pics of them a few weekends ago, but i have to finish out the roll. i woulda taken them on the digicam, but mom and dad had it at the beach...oh well. she's a smart lil girl though...reminds me a lot of her dad lol. there are pics of her on his webpage under the images section, though: www.redcell.silenced.us

my dad and bro took off to california these past few days in a rented mitsubishi lancer, and wouldn't you know it, my dad who drives 45 mph all the time got a speeding ticket...HAHA...go figure...

i got a 99% on my first unit exam for my psychology class! woohoo! i have 3 more, but off to a good start i think...

i've now lost 37 pounds and 14.75 inches! bout time! 13 more and i'm hitting nordstrom's makeup counter...i CAN'T wait...if i can do it before Christmas, it's gonna be a present to myself. woohoo!
