Just to let you know, I didn't die
while on a treadmill or anything. I've been lazy. And only lazy about posting
blogs. In excited news: on the 18th, I will have officially been tracking my
weight on Livestrong for a month, meaning that as of now, I have lost 16
pounds. My pants hardly fit in my ass area, stomach fat is hanging off it
awkward ways, and I'm kind of loving it all. I still have to lose more weight
but it's great start. I don't use Livestrong to calculate calories anymore. I
just kind of wing it. Hopefully when I get a smarthphone, I'll use Livestrong
all the time.
Enough with my weight loss, even though it's exciting, I get
tired of talking about it all the time.
Exciting thing #1
I've been doing behind the wheel
driving for school, and it's going very well. I actually drove around town
yesterday for a couple hours. It was great and that says a lot because my mom
freaks out when other people are driving. She would damn near scream when I
would be getting to close to the white line, and I hated that because I would
think it was something bigger. Overall, it was a good experience.
Exciting thing #2
Yesterday was full of great things.
I went to my favorite vegetarian restaurant, ate my favorite vegan cookie,
drove, bought a jar of local honey, and went to this church auction thing to
benefit this local retirement community. Some of the pieces they auctioned off
where down right gorgeous. But in the large room next to the auction, the church
set up a resale shop. I ended up getting some awesome vintage pieces. A pair of
earrings, a bow pin (not vintage), and beautiful head scarf with roses, and a
vintage Coach satchel. I loved it when I picked it up, but when my mom was
telling me it was leather, I was kind of put off to buy it. Feeling bad, my mom
looked inside of it and saw that it was coach. Stamped and everything with its
own serial number. I love it because it is such a perfect size. I can fit loads
of things in it, even my kindle! And to think I was planning on studding the
front with circle brass studs. Not anymore.
Exciting thing #3
Best
for last.
I will
be going to New York for my birthday. I am literally SCREAMING. They told me a
week or two ago and it’s amazing. We will leave at 1pm on the 27th
so I get all of Friday, Saturday, and a little bit of Sunday morning. I’ve been
making a list of things I want to do but there are just some many places and it’s
hard to make an entire list. I’m dying for some good thrift stores. So we will
see. I’ll have a huge post full of pictures and things to show from that trip.
School has been going alright. I
love yearbook. Apush is just pointless. And I feel like I’m understanding math.
A great thing about being part of yearbook is that I get to be involved in
everything in school. At our school, we have a wall. That we paint. I went to
take pictures and it was great. I got to hang out with a bunch of great people,
got a little messy, and took some hella fabulous pictures. I can be a little antisocial
at times because I’ve felt that I don’t have a lot of close friends, but this
year, I’m going to make an effort to be close to these people who were in my class.
We are already good friends and love each other. But I want to have the
friendship where I can go to their house and hangout whenever, and they can do
the same with me. That kind of relationship with people would be amazing.
Expect a New York post within a few weeks after I go. I’ll
try to be more regular with my posting. And maybe I can even do a review or
two. Who really knows where I’m taking this blog. It’s a lot of fun to do
though.
I’m still trying to figure out an outro
