Ramblings

Today is my Mom and Dad's 34th wedding anniversary! Happy Anniversary to them! Seriously i love my parents, and they are so great at putting up with me and my many frustrations lately. I knew my Dad wanted to take my Mom out for dinner tonight, but I was invited along which was fun for me. We went to this place in Brookfield called Charcoal Grill, and though I didn't like my actual entree I LOVED the things I stole from my parents ha ha.

Other than that, my life is still boring. My driver's test got moved to the 28th due to a meeting being scheduled that my mom couldn't get out of. I'm ok with that, it gives me 4 extra days to practice, and I still can't parallel park.

I've been missing my friend Cecilia lately a lot because a few days ago I was cleaning out my e-mail address book and came across her address but couldn't bring myself to delete it. Cecilia and her family moved to America from Sweden when she was 8, and she was the sweetest girl ever. She was one of my closest friends in high school and the only reason I made it through organic chemistry our junior year. She kind of stayed around Waukesha when we graduated, and worked at Target with my brother so we kept in touch better than most. A year or so after we graduated she was diagnosed with brain cancer, and subsequently died almost 2 years ago (2 years this fall). The last time I was home that summer before she died she called me to do something but I didn't get the message til a few days later (thanks Verizon) and I never got to see her. I don't really know why i'm suddenly missing her, but at least I know she is in a better place doing amazing things I'm sure.

Another Goal Accomplished

So I have been spending WAY too much time on the computer, and so my goal was to only spend a certain amount of time on it a day. The only problem then was i found myself watching more TV which wasn't productive either. So then I decided to organize my room with some new storage bins and what not...and that was fun for a day or two. Plus i've been practicing driving so thats taken up a lot of time (My test is now on the 24th....Happy Pioneer Day Utah, and hopefully Happy Drivers License Day for me ha ha).

Then I decided I should brush up on my sewing skills, so I figured I'd start off with something simple...an apron. I came across a blog (see my blog list on the side of my page) thats called Sassy Apron Swap. Basically you make a super cute apron according to the rules, and you get a name of someone else...you then send them an apron that you made, along with a recipe or something. Well I figured before I committed to their new swap I better practice. So I made myself this apron, and I'm really happy how it turned out!




















Um I have no clue why blogger puts this picture sideways (its the right way when I upload it and some reason they rotate it, so you'll have to turn your head. Oh and heres a picture of me wearing it (my moms camera happy). I'm kind of all end of the day no make-up looking but eh thats ok.

Yay its me, I guess you can kind of see I've lost weight too cause my collar bones are more prominent and stuff. Anyway I just wanted to share my lovely creation :D

Summer Results Thusfar

So I have been trying really hard to eat well and work out since I've been home. Lets be honest its not like I have a job or anything to go to ha ha. I have been trying not to actually weigh myself because I find myself becoming very obsessed with the numbers. Anyway, when I left Utah I was a size 13/14 pants. Well now, today I went shopping with my mom, and I tried on pants at a store I quite often buy jeans from. They were a 9/10 and a little loose but not too bad so I tried on a 7/8 and I could barely button them, but nonetheless I could. The fact I couldn't breathe isn't important right? ;) Anyway that means I'm a size 8/9 (hey now I can make stuff up its my blog) and that I've lost like 2 and a half pant sizes since I started this whole work out thing sometime at the end of May. Not bad I say.

Side note, I just saw Kirby Heybourne from all the mormon movies in a Miller Lite Beer commercial...if thats not just a double standard I don't know what is.

None the less, I was very excited about my new size 7/8 pants that I'm determined to be able to breathe in by the end of the week. I think not working at Bulloch Drug surrounded by ice cream, candy, and soda is definitely a major cause of this wonderfulness. I get to go car shopping now, yay for cars!

Hair choppage

You can tell whenever I'm depressed cause I chop my hair off...which is what I did today ha ha. I thought I would post a picture because hey pictures are fun.



Sorry its not the best picture but hey self portraits with cell phones are never all that great. The girl who cut my hair was really really nice and I enjoyed her a lot. Other than that my life is boring so I have nothing really to update on ha ha.
