I'm so torn. I want to buy some new dresses for our mini vaca home, but I am in great need of some new books! What to do? Of course, when I go home my mom and I will most likely go shopping so I can fulfill whichever want I don't take care of here. Urg. It's really ridiculous how much things cost now. If only the world didn't revolve around money. I'm not turning into a hippie, but I really did wish it would revolve around love and we could go back to the bartering system. I don't dwell on it too much though. Maybe my husband will let me get a little of everything since our anniversary is coming up.

Yes, we've almost been married for one year. Amazing. It's been quite the fulfilling year.

My cat has bad breath. I don't quite know what to do about that. She always snuggles up next to me, which I like. But then she yawns a big yawn, which blows her bad fish food breath all over my, which I definitely do not like. Sometimes she smells so good- she has a very distinct kitty smell. But then others... I guess I should get used to it. Kids smell a lot too. And dogs are worse!

I've worked out for over two hours every day for the past week. It's been so refreshing! I want to look good and skinny for all the dresses I'll be wearing when I go home. But of course, I was careless and now I have a throbbing ankle! Urg. So more crunches, less lunges for me for a few days I guess. I've been re-watching 24 starting from season 1. Nothing like a good batch of Jack to get me moving. Plus when everyone is getting chased and they're running for their lives, I can't help but think that I would be toast in that situation. So I feel the need to get back in shape in case I'm ever held hostage by terrorists and need to run and hide despite all the crap I've gone through already. You know, it could happen! Season 7 is out on blu-ray and of course Matthew wants it! We'll probably get it while we're home. All geared up and ready for season 8 (the final season) to watch for real on television. I don't remember the last season we watched as it happened! Maybe four? No, I think it was only 3. Wow.

I had a huge craving for chips and dip last night. So I bought some today. Dean's french dip is the best chip dip! I think I'll enjoy some for a snack before bed. It's not even 9 yet and I'm already waiting for bed. I'll watch a couple episodes of 24, do a short workout since most of my cardio would put too much strain on my foot, eat some delicious chips, rinse off, then go to bed. And to think I used to live on 4 hours of sleep on average! I would get to school around 630 and I wouldn't leave until 9. Why? I got there early because I didn't want to miss anything fun that might happen. After school I would hang out with friends for a bit in the hallways or go to some restaurant for food. Then cheer practice. Then chorale practice. Then I'd wait around to give some friends rides home. Yeah, I was a real piece of work in high school.

More on that in a different post. For now, I better get started on my 8 minute abs or I'll fall asleep!
