:D

My parents finally bought a new treadmill, it's pretty nice too. Not as nice as our old one but it will def do. I'm not running in this cold ass weather.

The last couple of days I've been working like a dog. I had a party to work after school on Monday, I was there until at least one in the morning. I had some 40 year old man hitting on me all night asking for my number and if he could buy me a drink. He was drinking Jack and coke pretty heavy all night, so I'm sure he doesn't remember anything now.
Then on Tuesday I worked again from ten in the morning to nine at night. Some older women decided to have a Christmas party on a Tuesday morning. why? I don't know. I'm so sick of being at the Country Club.
I don't have to work again until this weekend. Unfortunatly though, this is the weekend Josh is coming home. I haven't seen him in three weeks so I am really looking forward to him being here, however, now I might not even get to spend alot of time with him because my crazy manager is scheduleing me these ridiculous hours.

Good for me though, it slows down after this week and finals are next week also. So I should have considerably more time in the near future. :)

Rant over.

Dragon Age (Nerdgasm!)

Ever since moving I have had the most horrible internet and thus I have had to cancel my subscription to World of Warcraft. My heart was broken when I had to do so. I also cannot use xbox live which mean Modern Warefare is pretty much useless to me.
However, I have found a new RPG to keep me happy: Dragon Age.

I'm so happy I bought it. It's so much fun and reminds me a lot of WoW. It's an rpg, which mean role playing (for some of you who don't play video games) so you get to build up your character and his or her's relationship with other characters and the environment. It's very intense. lol

Let's just say I've been dead to the world since beginning this game. Because it's a lot like WoW, I don't feel so bad when I see the Cataclysm is coming out tomorrow. (well, not so good either)However, as soo as I get good interents again I'm back to being a Blood Elf Hunter. But until then, I'm a Dalish Elf Rogue. >.<

I also recently bought for my psp go, Young Thor, which is an oober cute mini game. It was on sale on black Friday for two bucks, so I had to get it. Usually it's five, which isn't much but two is better. :)

So this Christmas break after finals I plan on being all snuggly warm killing Dark Spawn and Orcs!

So far... So good.

Yoga has been pretty hard. And I still can't do a hand stand, although I've hurt myself several times trying.
The mat that I've been using is no good, and I don't feel like spending twenty bucks on a legit yoga mat so I've just been putting up with the one I have currently.

Now that it's getting pretty cold though, I really want to start running again. I gained three pounds this last month so I think I'm probably packing enough to long distance run again without getting too thin. I've been drinking rice protein shakes so I think that's helped considerably.

My parents are trying to buy another treadmill soon, because our last one we sold with our old house. I'm really looking forward to getting a new one, although nothing beats running outside (especially in the fall and spring time).
Speaking of the old house, we went inside the other day to see how the new owners were doing, and to get our mail. It was crazyness. I spent my entire life up to this point in that house, so it almost made me cry. I didn't though ;)
It was very neat seeing how different they painted and decorated it. We're all very happy to have a nice family who really enjoys it living in our house.


Anyways, that's all for now! toodles!

Branson

So this weekend I went to Branson with Josh and his family. We left Thursday afternoon and got back yesterday at 7. The last time I was in Branson was when I was maybe 10. So everything was pretty new to me.
We stayed at the Hilton landing in a condo, which was insane. Our balconey overlooked the shopping areas and the lake. Everything was decorated in Christmas lights and they played Christmas music the entire time until 12 at night.

We went to several places while we were there. I got see two Imax movies for the first time (I know I'm sheltered), we went to Silver Dollar City, and we did tons of shopping.

Silver Dollar City was really decked out for Christmas; they have this massive tree does light performances every hour and every inch of the park is covered in lights. It was extremely cold when we went because we decided to go at night to watch the lights and such, so now I'm sick (but it was worth it). We got to see A Christmas Carol while we there too, which was a play about Scrouge. At the end they shot bubbles out of the ceiling which was suppose to be snow. I also got to ride Fire in the Hole, which was the only rollar coaster we could ride because it was so cold and it's the only one indoors.

The ride home, however, was brutal and trying to get back into my normal routine has been a little hard. I couldn't sleep at all last night because I was so sick. lol.

So, yeah, that was my weekend. I thought it would make an interesting blog :)
Toodles!

Yoga, Day One.

Well, I started the Tara Stiles yoga and I really really liked it, but it kicked my butt and I could only do 20 minutes out of an hour of yoga.
So I guess my first attempt was a fail, but my body feels awesome! I'm going to try again tomorrow if I'm not too sore.

I think this might be a new hobby for me. I really enjoyed it a lot and even though I'm not good at it yet, I really think it's something I want to keep up with and get better at.
Seriously, all of my muscles are feeling it. It's crazy. I haven't felt this good since my long distance running days.

Speaking of which

I'm thinking about buying some protein powder or Ensure or something to help me gain a little weight back. But I'm not sure what would be the best choice right now. I'm still researching it and since I'm lactose intolerant, I'm slightly limited. Although, there are a lot of vegan choices of protein powder, there just a wee bit more expensive. Which sucks.

I will update you guys on my yoga attempts next week! If anyone can offer a little advice on either yoga or protein powder choices, feel free to leave a comment! I would love some input!

Toodles!

P90X

P90X!! My mom got the P90x the other day and is going to start the program tomorrow, so I decided to try it out too. I think... I'm going to die.

I can't do long distance running as of yet because I'm not at the ideal weight, I need to gain about 3-5 more pounds. I haven't been able to do anything as of lately and it's starting to suck. So I though about maybe picking up yoga. I bought a Tara Stiles dvd the other day, I've heard she's pretty freaking awesome so I'm going to try it out.

I'm kinda nervous about the P90x since I've been told that people have injured themselves in various ways. Plus I don't want to look like this: Desiree' Ellis

That's just scary.

Yoga like it would be the most ideal type of activity to do right now for my body weight so I'm really excited about it. :3 Tara Stiles also has a youtube channel that I've been subscribed to for awhile and her videos are the shit! (Tara Stiles YouTube)

I will let you guys know how the p90x goes for me on Tuesday. lawlz! And hopefully I will get my yoga dvd in soonly so I can stop feeling like a bum. :D

And fail...

So I didn't end up running the 5k as I was hoping... But I have decided to start doing the Couch to 5k program and seeing how that works for me this time.
I will record my efforts on here. However, I have just recently moved to a new home and our treadmill is currently at the old house still. I'm hoping to have it relocated sometime this week or next.
Or I could just run outside, at a track or something. But I'm not sure about that yet.

Besides NOT doing the things I planned on doing; me and my family have moved to a new house last weekend. We were able to get everything important moved in one day, with considerable help from other family members and my boyfriend (who I didn't know could lift heavy things lol).
Getting used to the house has been a little difficult but we really, really like it.

Well, I have more discuss, but I will save that for another blog.

ttfn, Desire'
