Thoughts...

  • I am very excited for Christmas. This weekend I have slowly been putting up my Christmas decorations and tonight Miguel is going to come home and help me put up the tree. I just wish I had a house to decorate rather than just a little apartment.
  • I saw the movie Twilight and I loved it! I haven't finished reading the book yet and that may be why I liked it so much, but I really did enjoy it and I would like to see it again.
  • The next 3 weeks are going to be hell. I have finals, finals and more finals. It's going to be rough, I am not looking forward to it at all. I need to get myself into a better studying routine so I can get through these next few weeks.
  • On a better note, after the 3 weeks of hell I have 2 weeks off from school. I am also comtemplating taking one of those weeks off from work too. I really just need a break from life!
  • I want an i-phone...why, I am not really sure, I just want one. :)
  • I am sad this long Thanksgiving weekend is quickly coming to an end. I enjoyed spending a few days with Miguel and I wish we had more days off like that to spend together.
  • Have a happy and safe holiday season everyone!!

No Desserts!!! What???

Some people at work, including myself are doing the "No Dessert Challenge." The challenge goes from November 1 - December 31. Yes, this seems like a very long time and a very hard task, especially through the holidays. I have to report that it actually hasn't been as bad as I thought and I've already survived 5 days!!! I am proud of myself for accomplishing those first 5 days and I know I can keep going. I may have to make a few exceptions as Thanksgiving and Christmas come around, but the way I look at it is that I have cut back and shown improvement. I have avoided going to the candy jar and having to have my mid-afternoon chocolate fix, this is quite the improvement. Iwill keep you updated as the challenge continues and I wish everybody else that is doing the challenge the best of luck!!
