Happy Valentine's Day!

We celebrated Valentine's Day early because Aaron has to work ALL day long today.
Friday he took me to Mikata's [a hibachi grill] and then to see the movie Valentine's Day.
The food was good, and so was the movie!
I was a little skeptical at first, because it had SO many big name actors in it, but it really was worth going to see it in the theater.

Yesterday I drove home to spend some time with my family.
My sister and I ended up going to see Dear John.
Even though I already saw it, it was still JUST as good. I can tell it's going to be one of those movies I can watch over and over.

When I got back to Troy today, there was a surprise waiting for me on the table.

A bouquet of flowers and a sweet card!
I have the sweetest husband ever :)

You're probably tired of hearing about this

But...
It snowed in Alabama yesterday, and no one knew what to do with themselves.

I mean, gas stations closed, fast food closed, ALL SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA were supposed to close....it was ridiculous.

Since we had NOTHING better to do, we went out to play in it.

It was fun while it lasted, but I will definitely be glad when it starts to melt! I'm ready for spring to come!

Yesterday...in review

The Good:
Two of my classes got canceled
I got a new laptop [more on this later]
We got to see Wolfman early [and free]
It was casino night on campus
Aaron and I won a total of 210,000 FAKE dollars
With that fake money, we won MadGab
I got triple chocolate pie at waffle house, and it was amazing
We had a lot of fun with our friends that we don't get to hang out with very often

The Bad:
When we got home from the movies, we found out that Kami figured out how to climb onto furniture
She chewed up not only my cheap earbuds, but Aaron's $50 zune headphones AND broke his hardshell zune case by chewing it to death....also, somehow found a way to get the batteries out of our t.v. remote control.....
We tried to use our fake money to win the surround sound Aaron wanted, but a group of people put their money together and got it for 8.5 million fake dollars
Waffle house didn't have icecream :(

The Ugly:
When we got home from casino night, Kami had ripped the entire cover to the back of our BRAND NEW recliner off
I cut myself really bad on one of the nails trying to fix it, and cried like a baby because I was so frustrated

But, Did I mention I got a new laptop?!

hot sauce, anyone?

*disclaimer: hot sauce is NOT bad for dogs. according to the vet, it is used often as a training mechanism. just thought i'd throw that out there before someone decided to start something.

*sigh*
I was tired of being found by people I didn't want to find me, so I made my tweets private.
I'm only hoping I don't HAVE to do that to this blog.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, I hope YOUR team wins.

Friday 5

1. What are you most afraid of?

2. Do you use a flat iron or curling iron?
i used to use my flat iron religiously, but haven't used it much since december.

5. Do you believe in the paranormal?
no.....but a long time ago, i thought i saw a ghost sweeping the porch of the house down the street. i didn't.

Gettin' it in Gear

Remember when the New Year began and I told myself I was going to get in shape?

Yea, well that lasted for all of TWO weeks.
I was doing really good, using my bender ball every day, doing ALL three of the workouts, not just one. I also got sick right around this time, and the medicine I was taking caused loss of appetite.
Lucky me, right?

Anyways, during that time, I was able to lose 5 lbs.
And then school started, and projects started, and stress started.
And then I stopped working out.

But then I saw this picture that my sister posted on her blog.......

I had almost forgotten about it.
Look how skinny I was!

This was not long after Aaron's 'quarter life' crisis, and we had broken up for a while.
I went through some sort of depression stage [I think?] and Nanny literally had to make me eat. I was around 120lbs here.
I want to get back to that...or atleast close.

So, I've decided to go running/walking 3 days a week, and do the bender ball at least 2 times a week.

Today I woke up [at 6 am--crazy, right?] and weighed myself.
Right now my goal is to lose 10 lbs.
I put Kami on the leash, and off we went.
I'm not sure exactly HOW far we walked, because the stupid pedometer I bought didn't end up working, but I know it had to be AT LEAST a mile. We were gone a good 30 minutes.

I'm not posting this because I think that you guys are interested in me losing weight, I just really need SOME sort of accountability.
I watched Lying to be Perfect the other night on Lifetime, and thought the whole Cinderella Pact was a cool idea...until I realized that I had absolutely no one to do it with.

So, Thanks sister for getting my butt in gear.
I hope I can really stay motivated this time!!
