Well, hello there.

silly advertising
Monday. 2.21.11 8:38 pm
When I lived in Las Vegas, I loved seeing ads online and on TV advertising "win a trip to Las Vegas!" I would always laugh and be like "hell yeah! I would LOVE to win a trip to Las Vegas! Wouldn't that be so awesome!" The funnier part would be to go to Mc Carran International Airport {Las Vegas's airport} and show them my plane ticket to Las Vegas. Ah, fun stuff. The little things that amuse you.

I also think it's funny that depending on what you "like" on Facebook, what your relationship status is and where you live is what determines what ads are placed on the side. For example, I "like" sushi. Every once in a while an ad for a local sushi place pops up on the side bar. Or I'll get ads all the time advertising for bridal photo places or places to buy or rent a wedding dress and tuxedo. Coupons links for a trip for me and my best friends to have the best bachelorette party before tying the knot. All because it says I'm engaged.

Advertising can also be evil. It's usually the food ones that get me. If I see a commercial often enough for a certain type of food {ie: pizza} I'll usually end up buying pizza within a week. Or food places {ie: Taco Bell, McDonald's, IHOP, etc} it gets stuck in my head and I'll want to go there. But everyone is different. If my finace sees and ad for a new game often enough, he'll at least want to rent it and find out if it's worth buying.

Anywho, I only have 5 more days until I start my diet. I'm excited. See, I have this addiction to chocolate {I'm eating some now} that's really bad for me. But most of the Slim Fast stuff is chocolate flavored. I know I'll be fine. It'll be healthy for me and take care of the cravings. Sure, it'll be hard at first. I'll be eating far less than I'm used to now, but in the end, once I'm getting results, I'll be happy. Especially when my clothes fit me again.

K, I think that's it for now. Until next time NuTang. . .

secret thoughts
Saturday. 2.19.11 2:20 am
Sometimes I still think about how crazy it is that I love driving as much as I do. Compared to 5 years ago when I was terrified and didn't want to have anything to do with driving a vehicle. No matter what size it was.

I really like the way I look when I dress up, but I'm still not comfortable enough with it to just go out and buy something. Besides, I really don't go anywhere that would require me to dress up. Hell, I barely went anywhere when I was living in a city that's full of dress-up places. I've been looking at shoes a lot lately. I want to buy a new pair of heels, preferably wedges or something that's not stiletto. Something that has support on the balls of the feet as well. Basically I want to find a high heel that doesn't put a lot of strain on front of my foot.

But here's a problem with that ... I don't have anything that would go with the shoes. I mean, sure, I could always find something, but then it goes back to the question as to where I'd wear it to.

Next payday {Friday 25th} I'm going to be starting a diet. The Slim Fast diet. I'll basically be starving myself, but getting all the nutrients required to stay healthy. See, according to the box, I'm supposed to substitute 2 meals a day with either a shake or a meal bar and then eat one, sensible, 500 calorie meal. As well as 3 healthy snacks throughout the day. Such as an apple or one of their 100 calorie snack bars {which is probably what I'll be doing.}

My goal? Lose the 20+ pounds I've gained so that I can go back down to my 130, 135 pound frame. I want my jeans to fit me again. Comfortably. I can still get them on, but they're extremely tight. Even the strap on my bra is squeezing a little more than it should be. It's not fun. And I refuse to buy bigger clothes. I'd rather really starve myself than give in and buy bigger clothing. No way am I giving in to that.

Here's another secret thought. I wish I could starve myself again. I wish that I were able to go 3 weeks without eating. I've also thought about puking up a meal or two here and there. I won't do it, though. It's just a thought that crosses my mind.

Anywho, that's pretty much it. I want to buy dressy outfits, nice shoes and I am dieting so that my clothes will fit again. The dieting isn't a secret, just the dress thing, but I wanted to write about the diet as well.

Okay, I'm gonna go read some of my new book.

Till next time NuTang ...

so much to do, not enough time ... and Feb. 14th happenings
Tuesday. 2.15.11 1:40 am
I subscribed to a year's long subscription on Lumosity so now I can play the games and stuff again. All of them. Even if you don't have a subscription, you can play some of their games, but when you get into the games through a free trial and then suddenly can't play anymore, you tend to want to subscribe. Well, I finally had the money to do so. With it having been 5 1/2 months since the last time I played, my scores suck. I definitely need to get back into the swing of the whole thing.

Jacob bought me two books on Sunday. He knew I had been wanting to start up a series and he surprised me by buying me the first two in the series. Now I just have to finish up Postcard Killers in order to start my new books.

I've got a few DVDs from Blockbuster Online that I need to watch. There's also every episode of That 70s Show that Jacob and I are watching through Netflix Instant Play.

I still have to work and sleep and eat as well.

I seriously feel like there isn't enough time in a day in order to do all these things. And then sleeping definitely gets in the way. Especially when you can't fight falling asleep any longer and have to give or you'll simply pass out wherever you happen to be. Which, for me, is usually sitting in front of the computer. I'm already sore when I wake up in the morning {an air mattress, even a fancy double-tiered one isn't exactly comfortable} but if I were to fall asleep on the floor ... I probably wouldn't be able to move for a while. At least not with searing pains shooting through various parts of my body.

Anywho, Valentine's Day was very nice. We both slept in until around 3pm. My phone died so I had no way of telling what time it was without getting up out of bed, so I opted for just staying in bed until I couldn't fall back asleep anymore. After just hanging out for a while, we got dressed and headed out to the mall. He wanted to exchange a few games that he had for a new game, Little Big Planet 2. I love the Sack Man in the game. He's so cute! He also bought a 2nd controller for the PS3 so that we can both play at the same time.

After our Game Stop stop, we headed over to Blue C Sushi for dinner. It was delicious as always. I love their wasabi sauce. It's just the right amount of tangy-ness.

After dinner we drove out to the Target not too far from our house {there was one by the mall, but it didn't have what we were looking for} and bought a vacuum and a plunger. Best Buy was downstairs from Target so we headed down there so that I could buy How To Train Your Dragon. I absolutely love that movie; I just had to own it.

Once that was all done, we headed home. All in all, it was definitely a good day. And yeah, I'm being hypocritical. I will complain about not having enough time in a day to do stuff and then talk about sleeping in until 3 in the afternoon. Ah well. Sleep is good. Especially now that I have a normal schedule.

Alrighty, I suppose that's it. Oh, I bought Jacob a rice cooker for Valentine's Day. It's something that he's been wanting so I knew he'd appreciate it. Jacob bought me something ... but I dunno what it is yet. I guess it was supposed to arrive today, but it didn't. Maybe tomorrow. Once I find out what it is, I'll definitely write an entry talking about it. Whatever it may be.

Until then ...

what a way to wake up
Friday. 2.11.11 12:31 pm
The plan he had was to get up a little earlier each morning so that breakfast could be eaten. Well, I have to be up for more than half an hour in order to eat breakfast without getting an upset stomach. So I tell him this and he just says whatever.

I tell him something else about my lack of eating breakfast this soon after waking up and he just says whatever to that too.

On his way out the door, I ask if he'll come back in before my alarm goes off to cuddle and what's his reply? "I don't know. Maybe." In a really annoyed tone.

Seriously? Since when do you not know if you want to cuddle?

All this because I told him I didn't want to get up with him to eat breakfast.

Good fucking morning to you too.

Funny how the title of my last entry was exactly how everyone felt about leaving a comment on it. . . "comment? psssh, whatever."

{that was my attempt at written sarcasm, btw ...}

Anywho, I got another book from the library. Postcard Killers, by James Patterson. I'm excited about reading it. I'm even more excited that the 10th book in the Women's Murder Club series comes out this year. That's definitely going to be pre-ordered ... once I get the money.

Worked sucked today. It wasn't really that bad, but seeing as how I wasn't in the greatest mood to start the day, the happenings at work didn't exactly help brighten my mood. But tomorrow is my final day for the week and then I've got two days to relax.

I think I'm gonna go play a few games on Kongregate before diving into my book for the night. And then once my hair is dry, its off to sleep.

Until next time NuTang ...

work? psssh, whatever
Friday. 2.4.11 2:50 am
The title is exactly how I felt at work yesterday. I was completely unmotivated. Once I was relieved from my first post, I spent an hour doing nothing, completed my lock ups for the night and then spent the next hour doing almost nothing again. Same with the following hour. I completed another couple lock ups then nothing.

I usually try to patrol through my buildings at least twice per night. Yesterday I barely got in one complete patrol. But I didn't care.

After the rant in my last entry, Jacob ended up getting a couple days off. We spent some time hanging out together. It was nice.

I don't really have much to talk about. I'm too tired to really focus on this. I'll probably be going to bed soon. Perhaps that's why I didn't have any motivation for work yesterday. Maybe I slept too much beforehand.
