Requested Update

This update is at the request of Sarah*, who is one of 2 people who read my blog. ;-) Thanks, Sarah* and Jean! :) Anyways, there hasn't been too much going on here. Wednesday I made sure that I got all of my requested re-sketches done for class and got my three mock-ups done. They look really cool, with super-vibrant colors. Awesome. So despite the reaming-out I got last week and my re-sketches, we didn't even look at the other 18 sketches. And everyone STILL liked the ORIGINAL sketch that didn't seem good enough. Wowsers. Figures, doesn't it? Then after that we talked about concepts for our 5th and final project of the semester. Since I like fantasy books, they thought I could go with that, or one of what I feel is a major issue in our day and time and that is the damage that is occuring to the environment. So.... how to make a webpage out of all of this? I dunno, but I am going to show up to class on Monday with 40 (!?!?!) sketches. And I have to sit in on an interview for my job position on Monday at 1, also. Should be an interesting day. So that means that I gotta get my work done by 1. Guess I'm coming in to work early! Haha. Yesterday not much happened. We went to eat at Applebee's after I was seriously bored sitting at the Lakeside with Shaun, Nick V (V), Nate and JP. BOOORING. Anyways, when we were at Applebee's we sat down and whatever and then I heard "Hiii!" It was Kelly (whom Shaun has christened 'Dirty') and Cory! They were eating there with her parents as it is Parent's weekend here at good 'ol Stout. Not that my mom is coming, but that's alright. She wouldn't be anything but bored anyways. But Shaun wrote "Dirty" on a napkin and kept holding it up so Cory and Kelly could see (her parent's backs were to us). Right when we got there Shaun hit the BR and I grabbed my keys to put on my purse and Kelly's mom heard it and asked "Oh, you aren't leaving because of us?!" And I was like, "No, I was just clipping my keys to my purse..." Too odd. But we all laughed when Shaun put up the napkin. He left it like that. And I felt stupid becuase I bumped into this waiter... twice. Luckily, he didn't dump anything on the people at the table. He's a good waiter. I hoped they tipped him well! (And I did NOT have any alcoholic beverages in my system... I'm naturally clumsy. ;-)) Tonight, I am going to see Morgan Spurlock and 'Supersize Me'. He's actually coming here to do a lecture after the showing of this film. Should be interesting, and I am hoping that it turns me off of fast food forever. Haha. I'm going with Andrea (my former roomate) and Jaima, her current roomate. Shaun's hanging with the guys and what not. He's thinking that he's going to sit at JP's house and watch Ultimate Fighting with them tomorrow night. He told me I could go with, but who wants to sit in a small dirty apt with a bunch of amped-up testosterone-laden boys? Sure as HELL isn't me. I'd like to spend the night with Shaun, but if he'd rather do that then I guess it's the perfect opportunity to get my 40 sketches done. I think I am going to need a new sketchbook soon. Haha.

Oh, and I've lost a GRAND total of 15 lbs now. I can't wait until I lose 20 more... should be able to start fitting into those old clothes again then!!! YAAY!

So what'd you think of that 'Supersize Me' documentary? I didn't see it and I wasn't really interested! I think that the same results would happen if a person ate fatty food (anywhere) on a daily basis. Just become a vegetarian and there will be very little fast food options! ;) Plus, you will live (an average) of 7 years longer! :) www.goveg.com

Good job on the weight loss! :) I know you can do it! :) You will feel so good once those old clothes start to fit again!

hey, long time no talk.... :) Glad to hear you are seeing results with weight loss, I've been running on the treadmill 5 miles a day for a month now and no results, I don't weigh myself tho as I don't care to know my weight :) I just feel better overall tho.....not specifically today as last night was def interesting but that's another story....I got pulled over by a cop oh wait 2 cops and got a sobriety test, good thing I was the responsible one driving people's drunk asses home, I had 2 drinks at Tobies but man I was SCARED to death....the cop said he pulled me over for the license plate light being out( I wasn't speeding and he said that) good excuse to pull me over at 1 am:) and to get me outta the car to see my walking and test my eyes...nice huh? I was dying.....but I passed thank god! I was actually bringing Jenny Mortenson home, weird huh? She works with Cole at the Casino and is dating a guy who also works there who is good friends with Cole now, so us 4 hang out a lot now, lucky me:) She's nice now tho, weird how people change...well, that's the latest excitement in my life...how's your wedding planning going?

Sarah* - I liked it... He's really funny and really nice. And it would happen no matter what you eat, but the crazy thing about this fast food stuff is that you get ADDICTED. Like alcohol or drugs. He went through withdrawal like a junkie. And that's scary.

Jamie - wow, I am so glad that you got out of that ok! Stupid cops probably even watched you leave Tobies and assumed that you had been drinking... which you had, but not enough to be illegal, thank God. :) And that is odd that you hang out with her! Gives me hope that people change, though. There's a lot of people from that school that needed to change! Just because you're hot shit in Hinckley doesn't really mean a lot... ;-) Wedding planning is on hold for right now, getting too stressed out about it. I assigned Shaun to finding a church as long as the ceremony starts at 1 or later in the afternoon. That's the only stipulation he has. He wanted to do it at the Catholic church he went to because 1. it was cheap and 2. we could get it. But the ceremony started at 11. And we don't get INTO our reception hall until 4:30, so we wouldn't even have a chance to get it set up. That's too long inbetween. People would show up drunk and how much fun is that? They should get drunk at the reception ;-) But I did get our DJ booked, thank God. Finally got enough $$ to send in the $95 deposit. Getting them for about 6 hours for $600, which is relatively cheap. Usually the package we got runs $900. Yay.
