Don't call it a comeback!

I don't know why, but the motivation fairy has smacked me with the enthusiasm to start afresh. To paraphrase a good friend of mine (you know who you are) I'm starting my new life today. Hence the blogging. So here it is, my list of what I will be doing in my new life. I'll work on the details.

1) Control the spending on unnecessary items--including books, new clothes, and anything at Target.
2) Limit eating out and cook at home. I mean you too, Starbucks and Chick-fil-a. This is a crackdown!
3) Damn you junk food and all your friends. I'm going all crazy anti-processed food nazi on your ass.
4) Walking, hiking, anything...just not sitting and rotting watching Whale Wars or Food Network.
5) Not fall into a cycle of procrastination and scrambling.
6) Will not be an academic slug--even if I hate those last two stupid online classes.
7) Will have a positive outlook and not gripe about life's suckage.

Alright. Now I hope I stick to it for at least a day.

Sad was the day when I found out that wheat, dairy, and eggs were slowly killing my immune system. Damn allergies. I've been slowly cutting them out, and have destuffed my head. Then I joined weight watchers to boot, because clearly I've been making up the loss of wheat, dairy, and eggs with other foods, like sugar, potatoes, and bacon.

So, you understand when I say that I am really jonesing for some vegan gluten free cupcakes that I saw online. I'm sure they really gross, in some godforsaken, that's not a real cupcake kind of way (ground chickpeas, rice bran, and flax seed what?!), but I feel that I could eat about 6 of them right now.

Maybe I should and that should break me of my craving forever....

Facebook is the devil....

I've held out so long, but the pressure (and curiosity) was too great. I went on Facebook and have since been rolling between the ego boosts and ego busts.

-lots of people want to be my friend
-I'm a bad person for not keeping up with these people, who were my friends long ago
-10 year reunions are being planned, I would love to see everyone from college!
-when did 10 years go by so fast, what the hell have I been doing all this time!?
-who the hell are all these old people
-hell, I'm so old
-wow, the cute babies!
-wow, all my friends have babies, and grown up kids...wtf?!
-acupunturist? worldwide traveller? JAG? interesting
-is my job up to it?
-this is so fun looking up people from the past
-I really need to get off the computer

Alright, I have my head back on. I also took Mellie Bean's career quiz and don't quite know what to make of it. I seem to be in the wrong career. Yet, none of the careers have any sort of common link. Special effects technician? Really, No. 2?

1.Lobbyist
2.Special Effects Technician
3.Actor
4.Criminologist
5.Director of Photography
6.Set Designer
7.Director
8.Professor
9.Anthropologist
10.Costume Designer

Hold that girl back!

Prodigal Blogger and I have often had this ideal of the morning, day, and night man. The guy you wake up with and have breakfast, the guy you spend the day doing fun things, and the guy you spend the night doing other...fun things. The ones you can have and your husband/boyfriend will just have to understand. The men we've named before have changed over the years, but right now, it seems I have a pattern going.

Morning - Sendhil Ramamurthy (aka most beautiful Indian man ever)


Day - Gerard Butler (aka green eyed, slightly rugged, baby Bjorn carrying, Scottish "vermontian")


Night - Clive Owen (English. Tough. Looks good in a suit. oh, sigh.)


Sorry, the hormones have clearly gotten a hold of me.
