stupid me
Yep, it happened again. Stood up by the same guy. To think I actually liked this guy. I shouldn't have to convince a guy to come see me (which I pathetically tried). If said guy liked me back then he should want to see me.
We'd made these plans ahead of time. I actually found an awesome recipe involving those lamb riblets (which werent cheap). I went to the Whole Foods store, sent him a message stating that I wanted to cook and for him to come over hungry around 8. I just really wanted to make tonight nice.
I really just don't get it. When we actually did go out together we had fun the whole time, and there weren't any of those awkward silences either. Then he tells me for over an hour he's not sure if he wants to come over. Obviously he never showed otherwise I wouldn't be writing this. WTF, I give up.
I hate this feeling I feel so stupid and embarrassed. I don't even have anybody to talk to about it. Shout out to all my friends who wont answer their phone.

Motivated
MOTIVATED MOTIVATED
DOWN RIGHT DEDICATED
OH AH I WANNA KILL SOMEBODY
OH AH I WANNA KILL RIGHT
NOWWWWWW
That was a chant we did at basic to get pumped up sometimes. Today I am the human example of motivated. Woke up made some cottage cheese with tangelos, and a half of a whole grain english muffin. Shortly after I went to the gym. Did an hour on the cross-trainer, ramp 10, resistance 10. It was all good, but my Ipod froze just 5 minutes into my workout. I was not deterred, and persevered. Then worked 30 minutes on my belly (one day to be abs) and another 30 on my chest, shoulders, and a bit of arms.
I finally made it down to the locally owned Amazing Grace foods store. I bought polenta, more hummus, and pumpkin butter. I went home and flipped throuh my Giada's Everyday Italian cookbook. Found one the way that she prepares polenta. It involved marinara. So instead I just lightly fried two pieces and grilled some eggplant. Oh, by the way, I almost caught my kitchen on fire.
It was super yummy.
Two hours later I was hungry again. My sandwich was about as big as a biscuit. So i made a good hearty SALAD, it involved baby leaf spinach, cherry tomatoes, portabello mushrooms, eggplant, and julienned red peppers. I grilled the last 3 on my awesome GF grill. I finished it off with a vidallia onion vinagrette. It was good, I think I will use a lighter dressing. This one was much to over-powering. I'm finishing up the salad right now, while typing this. Also I'm half watching the Golden Compass.
Later on tonight Paul and I are supposed to go out, possibly Phoenix Hill. We were supposed to go out but he had to wake up at 7. So instead we headed to Texas Roadhouse, where I drank 2 roadies. and got pretty buzzed. It involved tequila, triple sec, grand marnier, and cranberry. Very delicious. The food was followed by a trip the movie theater where I watched Gran Torino. That was possibly one of the best films I've seen in years.

How odd?
This was my horoscope today:
Getting clutter out of the way in your day-to-day life will help you clear the clutter out of your brain too, so put some energy into cleaning up around your house and getting things organized today. Not only will you find it terrifically satisfying, it's a task you can turn your mind off to do -- you can give your gray matter a rest while you give your home a facelift. You will feel proud of the work you've done and you'll feel ready to face life's next challenges.
I just checked it, and surprise surprise cleaning up and getting everything organized is what I did all day. Matter of fact it did help me clear my mind.
I am going to the gym around 8. I hate going at this time of day, way to crowded, and sometimes my machines are occupied with waiting lists behind them. Today has been a good day.

stupid subaru
As I was traveling back to the Ville tonight this one stupid red subaru wagon kept cutting me off. I know it was on purpose because they would speed up and get next to me, cut into my lane, and be literally 3 inches in front of my car. Then they would zoom back into the other lane. WTF. were they trying to get hit so they could sue me and buy themselves a better car?? grrr, i am mad.

Loners
I am in Indiana right now. Got here yesterday, and staying here till tomorrow morning. Its a small town with pretty much nothing to do. My nephews mom lives here, so I let her have him for two days.
I hate the snow, and believe me its snowy up here. I live just 60 miles south, and it is cold, but not like this. I dont even own a windshield ice scraper. All I've done is sit around, EAT, and play poker on myspace. I feel like I should win an award for being Americas biggest sloth right now. Gotta drive back in to KY tomorrow, get an oil change and get ass back in the gym. Im craving going back to the gym, and eating yummy healthy food.
Personally I just want to kick my brother in the teeth right now. He has pissed me off so bad since I got back 5 days ago. He just better not be around me too much in the upcoming week.
Ex's. I am so sick of them at this point. I wish they all could be shipped off to some island so I never have to see or hear from them again. Dont call me up wanting to make small talk, I dont want that.
I am considering driving back home tonight. They have a cat where I'm staying at, and being allergic is not a good match. You know, I really do like living in Louisville, there are much better job opportunities, and a lot more to do. I just wish I had friends that I could go out with. Its really hard coming to a new city where everybody has their groups of friends. Plus I dont even know where to meet people. Going to places alone is pretty odd. I went out to a concert my first week here, and out one other time. The whole time I just stayed outside and smoked. Smoking outside by yourself is a lot less obvious than sitting alone at a table.

Crazy Productive
I started my day off with a bang. Woke up, made a healthy breakfast. 1 cup cottage cheese, with a small tangelo, and a few blackberries. My nephew had a mini omelette and turkey sausage.
After that we headed to Urban Active and I dropped him off at the play area. I only had time to do an hour on the cross-trainer, and then a 25 minute ab workout. Had to rush to get Trendon before I got scolded at again for picking him up after 12. Got there at 11:57. On my way out the kids area. I mentioned having to walk over to the Whole Foods Market and pick up some hummus. Ended up getting in a discussion about healthy foods with a guy.
Found the best tasting hummus ever, Roasted Red Pepper. Holy shit. I even got my nephew to eat some. Lunch was a small helping of my yummy hummus along with sauteed mushrooms, and green beans. I finally went and bought my new George Foreman grill. As expensive as that thing was it better be friggin amazing.
Not entirely sure what I am making for dinner, I do know that I have to be back at the gym by 7 to do my Zumba class.

My Body
I have never had a great body. The past year I've come to like it a lot more than I used to. January of 2008 I weighed 190 Lbs.....I know, right. I dropped down to 175 when I joined the military. After going through physical therapy, getting out of the Army, and moving to KY, I shrank again to 160 pounds.
Since I have moved to Louisville, I have worked my ass off in a gym 5 days a week. I just spent two weeks at home with my family, and even though I worked out some (not rigorously) I came back 8 Lbs heavier. So its back to the gym, and now Im just back-tracking to get to where I was when I left.
I am so much more aware of everything that goes into my body. I just spent $100 at the grocery store on nothing but fruits, vegetables, tofu, yogurt, and a toothbrush. Oh, yes I also bought this 8 pack of steaks, they are only 3-4 oz. a piece so they wont be too filling.
Most yummy snack EVER
The one and only thing I really wanted for christmas and didnt get was the George Foreman 360 degree grill. I think I am going to take my 20% off coupon from Bed, Bath, and Beyond and splurge on it. In my opinion it is a smart investment.
I have finally gotten so sick of my skin that I am about to go see a dermatologist to get something stronger than what I am currently using. Which are BenzaClin, and Retin-A Micro. Its either that or start tanning again. I personally like the latter of the options. I miss being tan, its almost worth the risk of melanoma. Until the set apt date, I bought this.

'09 is MINE
It is only the first day of my new year. Nothing exciting has happened yet. My parents and I made up. I didnt want to start if off on a sour note. My hangover today hasnt been bad. Normally the day after really heavy drinking the thought of food makes me sick. That was not the case for today, I just couldnt stop eating. I actually ate fast food. In all of '08 i probably ate fast food 5 times the whole time. and it was always a taco. Back to the original point. I need to go back to the gym tomorrow, Ive taken the past 2 days off.
I am babysitting right now, just happy the Boo (Isabella) is asleep. I sure wish I was.
