jade's Blurty

Wednesday.
Bah!

My cousin, who stayed with me last week, was sick when he came, and he generously passed it on to me.

Awesomeness.

Anyhow, it's the slow time of year at work, so I'm taking some sick time. I figure by taking it easy, I'll get better faster, or at least that's what I'm hoping for. I made some split pea soup yesterday, and I ate that for dinner yesterday, and I'm eating it for lunch today. I also got a ton of strawberries that I'm steadily plowing through.

It sucks that I can't exercise though. I'm a firm believer in not exercising while sick, with the exeption of maybe some pilates, yoga (not the Iron variety), and stretching. I find if I over-exercise while sick, it just gets worse.

Boo. Hiss.

I feel like I'm losing weight.

Hurray. Cheers. I'm sure tomorrow my mind will change on this one.

Mugs and I are cuddling on the couch. He's so awesome. = )

So D and I are sort of on the Abs Diet, although I think I might need the book to really understand what I'm supposed to be doing here. I have this chart, and foods are divided into how often you're supposed to eat them...unlimited, often, occassionally, and rarely. Me being me, I'm not sure what this means. Clarification would be awesome.

I orderd the bike thing. I think it will be helpful at work, and I'll feel better about leading such an annoyingly sedentary life.

So, in other news, I started drinking two shot glasses of pomegranite juice a day for the antioxidants (it's fairly high in calories, and studies have shown that drinking 2 ounces can yield benefits-so I figured 3 would be fine), and let me tell you...my skin has never looked better. It's amazing! Seriously, I'm interested to see if it's just me or what...so I challenege you! Buy some POM Wonderful, sling back a shot or two a day for a few days, and tell me if your skin doesn't look amazing.

Moving on, I have completed my fall shopping. I got some really cute brown leather flats, an adorable dark denim pencil skirt, and a soft 3/4 sleeve camel colored cashmere/silk blend sweater. The skirt is a size 2, and it fits perfectly. Now if only fat thighs and ass would cooperate so that I could get into the pants! AGH!

*Deep breath*

Whatever. Aaaaadorable.

Seriously, I'm done shopping for the forseeable future, at least until after my birthday.

D and I have been entertaining fantasies about buying a house....or at least saving up for one. I don't really know how feasible that is with him being in school full time and me being in school part time, but....sigh. I don't know. I have a fair amount of money in my mutual fund, but it's not enough for a down payment. I imagine if I stopped shopping though, I could put a big dent in the down payment money. lol...

It's something we need to consider. We've definitely outgrown our current apartment. *looks around at crowded apartment*

Ugh.

Still trying to figure out what to be for Halloween. I'm now thinking...Sailor Moon or Lara Croft. Thoughts? Ideas?

I'm so friggin' excited that t&h is on the most popular list on Blurty!*Throws confetti!* This does beg the question though....if it's the most popular, where the hell is everyone? I don't want to be the only person posting on the damn page. *Pouts*

The news continues to disappoint me. N and S Korea are no longer at war, and I think this was on the news for approximately one minute. Annoying! This is huge! Ugh!

Charlize Theron is the Sexiest Woman Alive according to Esquire. *Yawn* I so guessed this four months ago. Tall, skinny, blond, foreign. Yup. She's pretty.

Ok, I officially have nothing left to say.
