My favorite song today, lol

Freakin Blogger wouldn't let me embed the 2 things I made on Jib Jab, I had to post them to Blogger through the Jib Jab site.... what a pain! ANYWHO - I made a ton of holiday videos on J.J.'s site (GO ELF YOURSELF!) :D


BUT... I am not going to post them yet. I think I'm going to space them out too - I made 4 so maybe one a week? That should get me to Christmas :) I love that Turkey Day is almost here. It is my favorite because we eat turkey and I have to savor it because at Christmas we have ham and the only thing we repeat from Turkey Day are pumpkin and pecan pies :) I LOVE PIES!!! MMMMMMMMMMMM..... I'm so excited :D I'm not a fan of ham so I usually just eat the other stuff like sinful potatoes, YUM-O! I love the holiday season - I wait all year for it to come around again. I love the music and the feelings and the family and togetherness (Awwwww.) My aunt Kathrin, uncle Jim and cousin Kendall are coming down for Turkey Day - so that'll be fun.

Peace Out!

IS IT FRIDAY YET?

Just a quick note. I love Luzianne Peach Iced Tea :D I drink it everyday... I put honey at the bottom of the glass and I have a lil honey with each gulp. DELICIOUS! I make a pitcher of tea about once a day... Hello, my name is Adriana, and I am an iced tea addict.


I started working on my class today, and emailed my professor to let him know I was still working on it... I have until the end of this semester. I have a lot of work to do though UGH - dammit. I hate grammar too LOL

OH - totally forgot to tell y'all... When mom was out of town this past Friday/Saturday, dad and I went to eat seafood at this place called The Blue Shell.... long story short, dad found 2.... count 'em 2 pearls in his Vuelve a la Vida cocktail!!! CRAZY! Fo' reals :)

I'm looking forward to Friday because the high down here is 65 degrees! YAY :D

Have a great Thursday everyone :)

HUGS!

It definitely was a Monday

Today (Monday) I went to the grocery and bought my Zyrtec D (generic brand, though) and I think I can finally breathe without sneezing :D I also had to buy some cremini mushrooms for dinner tomorrow, or sometime this week, I dunno - mom needed them. Then I came home and had to clean the kitchen, which I'll finish up tomorrow - I just have to wipe off counters.

I got a call this afternoon from the temp agency I had applied at back in March (before I quit at Lowe's) and they told me that they wanted to see if I was working and if I was still interested in looking for a job through their agency. WELL OF COURSE! I didn't tell her that, I just told her yes and she verified my info and she told me that they had a position for a well-known company in town and she was going to set up a profile to send them, and then they will decide whether or not they would like to interview me, and so on. I told her that I did not want to be a cashier anymore, I'd been one for 8 years and it's time for something new, and that I was open to doing anything, but I don't want to make it seem like I can do things that I can't (ie: forklift operations LOL) So she told me that it is an office job, dealing with customers but it is NOT a cashiering position, no cashiering involved (YAY!) and it is dealing with computers and whatnot. So I hope they want to interview me - she said I have a ton of experience with customer service, she sounded confident so I will be too :) She said she would call me if they contacted her to set up an interview, or I could call her...I think I will give her tomorrow (not really sure how quickly the companies get back to them regarding profiles) and if she doesn't call then I'll call her on Wednesday.

In other news - I am loving these kittens, Sugar N Spice, more and more everyday. Just right now, Spice jumped down from the top of my mom's recliner where she had been snuggled in a soft blanket, walked across one table, over a laptop, across another recliner, and across another table just to cuddle with me :) Sugar has been asleep on the couch cushion next to me for at least an hour. They are the cutest! I had to make a folder for kitten pics only because there are hundreds now.

Thanksgiving is coming up and we're going to have dinner at my grandparent's house. My aunt, uncle and cousin are coming down so that will be nice. I don't think I've seen them in two years? Maybe they came down and I just can't remember.... hmmmmmm.... Oh well. OH! and Kaitlyn will be here too :D She's my niece.

Ok - that's all I can think of to write. I'll try to blog more often.... and I need to get on that damn treadmill already! I've been organizing my photos today and trying to figure if I have doubles on here. Here's a pic that I forgot I had. I took it while I was working at Lowe's in the Outside Garden register.



Not bad for a cell phone picture!

HUGS!

All I want is a little peace and quiet.

I have decided that I am going to plug in my mom's treadmill and start using it everyday so that I move more. I could walk outside, but that's a bit dangerous where I live. We don't have sidewalks so I'd be walking around on the shoulder of a busy street (and there have been WAY too many hit n runs lately) or I can walk up and down the road we live on, but that gets boring fast. So the treadmill it is. I do have to admit that I'm so ready to move out of my parents house. I love them to death, but I'm getting pissy towards my dad and it's not about anything major - it's just little things that annoy me (ie: he coughs a lot, the tv is always super loud because he's older now), none of them are his fault. One big thing that irks me, is the fact that he's home more often than he's at work because of the economy and market and all that fun stuff, I guess. I love my daddy, don't get me wrong, but I also love my ME TIME...and when I get up and he's there, it kinda eliminates the quiet house, with the television off and the peaceful feeling of being alone. I want to get a job ASAP and start saving up my money so I can get out on my own soon. I also don't wanna work out with my dad there... I dunno... but I have no choice, I don't wanna sit on my duff all day. So here's to walking tomorrow :D

Here's Me

I decided I should show you guys what I looked like in high school when I thought I was big LOL. I'll also try and find a pic that shows my girth :D

This pic was taken my senior year.... LOOK AT MY FACE!

This picture was probably senior year too - I don't remember, but you can't even see a tummy!!! Or, rather, you can see my boobs sticking out just a bit farther than my tummy LOL
This is the most recent picture of me where you see a side view of me. It was a year ago at my best friend's wedding (sounds like a movie HAHAHA). The boobs are further out than my tummy cuz I had my fake boob bra on and I was probably sucking in the gut ;) But I'm a big stomach, big hips and big booty'd gal. I hope after I lose the weight I want, I just have a smaller version of my ghetto booty :D

A New Goal In Life

Today, I was reading Aimee's post about starting her new weight loss program again and I got jealous. I have recently been thinking that it is something that I am going to do. I want meals either planned or suggested, I want someone to tell me what exercises to do and I want to be weighed and measured. I am the biggest I have ever been and I'm nearing the big 3 and I don't like it. I am not very close, but I'd rather be closer to the 2 than the 3 LOL. I put up a ticker that I will track my weight (no comments about my weight if you're gonna be mean!) I'm not doing anything really, right now. I need to stop drinking soda's because lately I've started again. I will make iced tea everyday! :D I just feel so motivated, but hate that it costs $$ to do, which I don't have and I am not gonna ask my parents to pay for me. I am an adult, and I mean I'm still living in their house and eating their food, but I want to do things for myself...as much as possible. I'm looking harder for a job, and I really need to complete my incomplete at school so I can get my degree in the mail. I just know that I can do it. I also don't think that I will ever be "tiny"... I am 5'10", but I know I can be smaller. My goal is 175... so that's 100lbs. I need to lose. I can't imagine being like a size 14....I really can't imagine myself being any smaller than that - but who knows! Oh, I am currently a size 20/22... it depends on the jeans and the brand and yada yada.... So I'll keep updating on what I eat and do daily...maybe it'll motivate me to do more seeing how much I DON'T do now :D
