Today I ended up going to Joann Fabrics today. Now I haven't been in one of those stores since I was in middle school. At least. Well we went to one today to get fleece material to make blankets. That was fine. I got pirate fleece and had a great time picking it out. And then I went wandering around the store and found what can only be described as Knitters Paradise. I have never seen so much yarn in one place before. It was insane. I seriously thought I had died or something. I found more free patterns than I can shake a stick at and more yarn than I could ever know what to do with. My family had to bodily drag me out of the store. It was that bad. Going to the AC Moore down here after that was a serious disappointment. They had nothing compared to Joann Fabrics.
Tonight I made my blanket. Cutting and knotting. That's all it was and I made a blanket out of two pieces of fabric. I have always wanted to make one of those and now that I finally did I absolutely loved it. I love projects like that!!

The Plain Jane
It is so nice to not be at home in Connecticut. While I enjoy Connecticut I am rather sick of it at the moment and New Jersey is a much needed retreat. For the first time in I don't know how long I sat around all day and pretty much did nothing. It was phenomenal. I haven't been able to do nothing in, well, forever. Pretty much the day went as such:
I woke up.
I ate breakfast.
I started and finished the book The Road.
Went shopping.
Bought a $60 athletic outerwear jacket for $25.
Went to the Apple store and got my ipod looked at and replaced.
Went to the bookstore and bought books. (like I need any more)
At dinner and dessert.
Replaced all songs on my ipod.
Read cosmo
And now here I am.
All in all it was a good day. I was happy that I was able to get my ipod classic looked at. It has been doing many weird things and the guys there thought it was a problem with the dock. So since my ipod was still under warranty for the next 67 days I got a brand new ipod classic free of charge. Pretty sweet if I do say so myself.
While reading cosmo I came upon something rather interesting. There was a section in the magazine that really caught my attention. What your ex's next girlfriend reveals about you. As soon as I saw the title, I had to read on. And I learned some rather interesting things.
The Plain Jane: Her daily uniform is jeans and a tee, and her idea of a beauty routine is a quick shampoo. What does this say about me??? His bland choice means that your beauty (and brains) intimidated the hell out of him. It's time you dated a guy who is confident enough to feel like your equal.
Yup. Explains it all. Maybe it also explains why Matt Mercer is trying so damn hard to get me into bed with him. It's rather driving me up a wall. I have got to find normal men. Then again I have a great feeling that that isn't so possible. Oh well. Guess that means Kathleen and I are going to have to go out places!

Its Like a Giant Massage Chair!
I found out what happens when one of the rear rims of your car is badly bent. I haven't driven my car on the highway since I got the snow tires put on. They told me I might feel some vibration. I think they totally underestimated the amount of vibration I would encounter. I seriously thought the car wasn't going to make it. We were going sixty on the highway and it felt as. If the car was going to fall apart around me. Ali stated that it was like sitting in a giant massage chair. Poor Gerry. After a while the vibration diminished but it was still impressive!
Well I am on my way to New Jersey! I am super happy to be going away for a while. I have just had enough with Connecticut for a while. And when I come back it will be the new year and I will be able to start fresh. After the train wreck of 2010 I am ready for something better. There have just been so many bad memories from this year. I need something new and better. New goals and ambitions.
I ended up finishing my Sword of Truth series last night. I have made it through the eleven or twelve books on the series and finally came to the end. I have been so invested in all of the characters that it just seems so weird to say goodbye to them. It was seriously an amazing series and I am going to miss it greatly. It ended as it should and left me with a happy fullfilled feeling.
I ended up creatively writing for the first time since my flash drive failed and I ended up losing everything. I was bored and sat down at 3am and ended up free writing. It came out really well even if it was rather morbid. When I come back from New Jersey I am going to send out my flash drive and get the information off it. Unfortunately for a hefty price...
Well I am going to take a nap. Or read my new book The Road. It is a very interesting book. So far interesting enough to keep me entertained.

Control the Waterworks!!!
I just bawled watching the end of The Return of the King. I haven't sat down and watched the entire movie from start to finish in a long long time. And since it was on TNT tonight, I ended up watching it. What else is there to do where you are snowbound at home? It was just as amazing as I remembered and I once again bawled my eyes out at the end while Ali was yelling at me to control the waterworks. Yeah. Didn't happen. Oh well. Everyone needs a good cry occasionally.
It is mad windy out right now. It's pretty much been snowing all day now. They have been calling for 12-18 inches of snow for us here. I am interested to see how much we actually get, but the wind is complicating things. Our lights keep flickering pretty good every now and then. We just keep hoping that the power doesn't go out otherwise we are going to be in a world of trouble.
Okay. Off to sort through laundry, find my phone which is getting 278492030 text messages at the moment for some random reason (probably all from facebook) and then find my bed and read more of my book. Everyone is in mortal peril and this is the last book of the series. I am way over half way through and cannot see how this is going to end happily.

Spanish GPS = Epic Traveling
Today I ended up driving to South Windsor with my classmate Kathleen to go to a Christmas eve bootcamp at Now Carabase's studio. We had a fun road trip. It was made even better by the fact that Kathleen's gps decided to speak in either Spanish or German. The two of us had a great laugh over it. It was just so super unexpected! We were really nervous about the bootcamp at first but after getting there and actually doing it we had a lot of fun. Joe was not as intimidating and was really encouraging to everyone. It was just cool to see him in a different setting that school.
All I know is that it is very strange. Usually we spend Christmas eve with Babci but that wasn't the case. It makes me miss her even more knowing that she won't be here anymore for holidays. She's still with me in my heart though and thats what matters most.
And one final note. You'll shoot your eye out! Yay for the Christmas story! 24 hours of amazingness!

I Can't Put My Arms Down!!
You can't have Christmas without the movie A Christmas Story. It is just so classic, and no matter how many times I watch it, I am never bored with it. It is just that amazing.
Today I had parties everywhere. At school, the PFTs decided that we all wanted to throw a holiday party with tons of food and friends. And that is exactly what we ended up doing! People brought all kinds of food and Carrie Ann busted out the leg warmers and an amazing Christmas CD. even Joe got into it, bringing food and mingling with all of us. Honestly, by him mingling, it made me and everyone else relax. Being on the same level wasn't scary anymore. Sure, he is still very intimidating, but he dropped it down a little bit during the party and such.
Tonight was also the City Slickers Christmas party and it was awesome having food and gifts with part of the barn family. I really enjoyed it, although my food journal took a major beating with it all. I guess it was worth it.
I can't even believe that tomorrow is Christmas eve. Where did all the time go??? I still haven't been able to figure that out yet. Tomorrow, Joe is holding a half hour long bootcamp at his studio in South Windsor. And half of the PFTs are going. I am going, along with Kathleen, Brian and Jared. The four of us are meeting at school and then carpooling together. Jason is going to be going and maybe a few others. Joe seemed really excited for all of us to come and I am super excited to try something new with all my friends. It is probably going to kill me, but I am ready to go!!!
And on that note, the going is going to stop and I am going to drop!

If I Drink Any More Water I Might Explode
I am officially back to being the fiery red vixen once more. Oh how I have missed my red highlights! It is so nice for a change of pace, and the red is very bright and noticeable. And I love it.
The night has been relatively quiet. Nothing big happening. And that's really it. My life is terribly boring.
Food logs are a pain in the bum. And I have only been doing this for one day.
And drinking water sucks. My body has no idea what to do with any of it. And so it gets rid of it. I hope this gets better. Otherwise I might quit on this endeavor.

Jersey Shore Fist Pumping Train Wreck
Tonight I had an awesome time rock climbing with Molly! She has been trying to get me to go climbing with her for the longest time and I finally got the time to go and boy was it fun!! I climbed all kinds of walls and didn't do too badly after I got a little more courage and learned how to trust me feet and smear a little more. There were a couple times were I had some problems, but I managed to keep going. That's why you always need a good person to belay you! After we climbed the walls a bunch we went to the boulder cave and climbed some more. Bouldering is where you climb without harness or ropes. It isn't super high up and there are plenty of mats to fall on when and if you fall. That was a lot of fun too especially since half the time you are hanging upside down, but its all good fun! I am mos def going to have to go again. It is mos def a strength workout and I have amazing calluses, but it will get better as I go along.
After that we ended up going out to dinner with her boyfriend and one of his friends. It was so nice to hang out with them since I haven't in so long. And I am so going to try and go rock climbing again. Once I learn how to belay and such it will be easier. And the equipment shouldn't be too expensive.
And Fedex needs to go shove it.

If I Yawn Too Much I'm Afraid I'll Moo
My house is officially decorated for Christmas. Yeah, it took a while, but it looks splendid now and it makes me really excited. I still can't believe that Christmas is less than a week away. Where on earth did all the time go?? I just seems like it flew by. But in some ways that is okay with me. I cannot wait to go to New Jersey from New Years and escape from Connecticut for a little while. I just need a change of scenery and I need a fresh start with the New Year.
I now have a new stalker in life. But that doesn't seem super new for me anyways. Matt Mercer now has it out for me since I am suddenly fair game because Kyle is going out with a friend's ex. Yeah, no. Mercer is nice, but I really don't see him like that. And he has no right to know what my sexual escapades are like! Creepy!!!
I think we are still going to be making some sugar cookies tonight. So far the dough looks, feels and smells like my grandma's. Now we are going to have to find out if they taste like hers. It makes me sad to think about it. I would always go over to her house and make them with her and then eat half of them. But no longer. Her house remains cold and empty, devoid of the amazing, loving woman it housed for so long. I hope we can make her proud with the cookies.
Tomorrow is the start of a new semester at Branford Hall. It seems silly since we have a week there and then are on break from the 24th to the 3rd of January. Oh well. It will mos def be tough getting back into it, but I need a break.
And I seriously think if I drink anymore milk I will moo when I yawn. That was from the movie Christmas in Connecticut. I didn't watch it for long this morning, but I did see enough to catch that line!

Che Guevara Has His Own Cologne???
It's kind of random what you hear on the television, especially if your back is turned and you are concentrating on something else. It was a commercial for a men's cologne. They said the name so fast and garbled that it sounded like Che Guevara. I seriously got a major kick out of that one!
I survived yet another semester at Branford Hall and made it through exercise psychology and business. Business was the toughest part but I managed to do okay in it. This afternoon we had to actually present out business plan to the entire class, plus some other people that Joe rounded up to listen as well. It was the most terrifying I have done, yet I went up there and did it and did it well. I was the only one out of the class who managed to get full points on my presentation. Joe laughed at me and told me I worry for no reason. Yup. That's me!
The end of the day was spent functional training with the other class of PFT students. I got to work with someone I have never worked with before. Logan and I paired up. It was funny because at first he had absolutely no idea what to do with me. He told me he didn't know what I was capable of doing. I told him I could do anything. And I did everything he asked me to do. And boy was he impressed! It was nice working with someone different. Especially if they are cute!
I am now an official member of Gold's Gym in Bristol!!! It took a bit of courage to walk in there, but it was probably the best thing I could have done. I was barely through the front door before I was greeted and they helped me immediately. I was show the entire gym and they found the best fit membership for me and got me all set to go. It is incredible how friendly everyone is there! I even chatted with Kip Randall who is the general manager. I am hoping if I make myself visible then I will hopefully end up working there or externing there at some point. That would be incredible for me! After leaving there I went to the YMCA to cancel my membership. The difference was incredible. I wasn't greeted and the woman who eventually talked to me seemed huffy and annoyed that I was bothering her with a termination of membership. She even sounded kind of sarcastic when she told me the fill out the termination form. I am glad I am done there. Time to move on to something better. And tomorrow I will try it all out. You want to know what really sold me with the gym? The have a room of punching bags. Yup. I can beat the shit out of a punching bag now. And it's included in my membership!!

Fine. She Can Have My Sloppy Seconds.
I just found out that Kyle has a girlfriend. Ikeem's ex. I have a few things to say about this:
1. Where they hell have I been?
2. When did this happen?
3. I am 537892042 times hotter.
4. Is Mercer hitting on me?
5. Yes. Mercer is hitting on me.
6. How is Ikeem taking this?
7. Answer. Not good.
8. How do I feel about this? Good Question.
9. Fine. She can have my sloppy seconds. I hope she enjoys them.
And the final overriding thought out of the whole thing.
10. This girl has nothing on me. I am so much sexier, beautiful, aggressive, driven, fierce, and above all confident. And this will NOT stand in my way from being better.
Gold's Gym. Tomorrow. Membership. Work out. Get big. Beat up small weak pussy girls.
The end.

I Think You Have a Mutant Scapula
I was surprisingly not super sore after my two hour massage even thought I was told that might be the case. I was pretty happy with the results. There were two knots that we were not able to get out, though. Next Wednesday will hopefully fix that. But the two knots sit on top of each other on the left side of my back right where my scapula sits. Well there is a point on my back in that spot where the knots are that's very tender. My friend Miguel poked at it and then stated that I had a mutant scapula. I love my classmates. I am hoping that this knot goes away next massage I get.
We ended up playing Jeopardy in exercise psych today and let's just say it got kind of vicious and almost turned into full contact Jeopardy. Life was going well until Alyin decided to show up late and that awful jealous, angry "I must prove I'm better" thing kicked in and oh boy. All my classmates thought it was hysterical how viciously competitive it became. But it ended well and we all get extra points, though my team won and graciously shared our points.
I met another girl today that I instantly disliked. It was the immediate bad vibe, must punch in face kind of thing. Chino was chatting her up since she is a night student and was making up hours from her business class with Joe. She just went on how much she hated him and the class and how she basically flipped him off and such. I have never met another person with such a shitty attitude. Seriously, you are nothing and really need to go crawl your slick bitch ass back under the rock you came from. She apparently has a meeting with Joe and Miss P. I hope she gets her ass kicked out of school. She seriously doesn't deserve to be there with the attitude she has.
I ended up training Gina and Melissa today since Brian had to leave for personal reason. Jay was staying to make up hours, so he ended up joining me in the training. We took turns and all had a really good time. The girls had a great workout and were really happy to have gotten it in even with Brian not being there. It's really good for me because it gives me a chance to train and get my feet wet and gives me more experience. The next time a faculty member wants to be trained I am going to jump on it. I really want to get better at what I do and I think that would be excellent for me. Boot my confidence up! After the training Jay and I chatted for a while and such. He is one of my best friends at school and I am seriously super glad I met him. Same with pretty much all my classmates. They have become my family. I still think it's funny when I look back and see how much I debated about going. I am also glad I decided to start in September. Otherwise, I would not be as close to the people I am with now.
My business plan is finished. I think I need to collapse.

Is It Just Me or is This Bench Mad Small??
I think we have all reached the burnout phase at school. We only have two more days left in the semester, but it seems like an eternity. Especially for all of us in business class. We just need all of this to be over with. I have no idea what I am going to get in this class, but so far I seem to be doing okay. But that means nothing.
Today in class Joe took each of us aside one by one and talked to us about our business plans and answered any questions that we had about everything. Well, he decided to hold these mini one on ones in the hallway on this bench. Let's just say this was the smallest bench in the world. I didn't think they made benches this small, but I guess anything is possible. Now, to me, Joe is very intimidating. He just has a presence that makes me shake in my boots. I am not usually like that with people. Rarely do I find someone who really intimidates me. But this man just looks at me and I cower. Well, doing a one on one about my business plan with him on a tiny ass bench where I am only three feet from him was like my greatest fear in the world. Even though we were at eye level to each other I still felt like he towered over me. He is much more intimidating up close than across a classroom. At least that is how I feel. I managed to survive and I think he tried his hardest not to scare the crap out of me. Because if anyone could read my terrified body language, he could. He is just kind of like that. But I survived. Somehow. It was still an interesting experience for me. I wonder if him being mad sexy terrifies me. I dunno but whatever it is I find it fascinating that this man has such an effect of terror on me.
I finally had my two hour massage today. It was the shortest two hours of my life. It was fabulous. I left feeling like mush and it was amazing. I am usually so stiff and tense that it was such a nice feeling to be relaxed. I think the heat also worked to help Bethany try and break up some of the knots, scar tissue and adhesions in my back. As far as she could tell with working on me the muscles that got affected when I injured my back were parts of the lower trapezius, possibly the rhomboids and the quadratus lumborum. In seeing where they are located in my anatomy book I can see how it caused me major pain. At least we are working through it slowly. It is better that nothing. I still have a few stubborn knots on my left side of my back, but that is for my appointment next week. I cannot wait for that!

Wow! You Suck!
Apparently, according to my classmate Miguel, I am wicked inflexible and there is just no helping me. He really knows how to make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I have no flexibility in my back and no matter how hard I try I can't seem to make it better. Even with Miguel, Logan and Jay trying to help me. Oh well. I guess being a two by four is okay in some respects.
I seriously cannot wait for the week to be over with. I am so exhausted and I still haven't caught up on sleep since I finished house sitting. While it was a new experience, I am definitely glad it's over so I can sleep in my own bed and not have to worry about twelve hundred different things. Now I just have to make it through the last week of the semester. I am so ready to be done with business!
My phone is semi back to normal. I have all my contacts back, but haven't replaced anything else that is missing off of all my screens. Like my email which I didn't activate. Oops. At least my replacement phone should be in tomorrow and then I can start over again. I am pissed because I was finally doing amazing at angry birds. Oh well.
I think I might go to bed now. Yes. I am that tired.

At Least I Can Still Call Olive Garden
My cell phone tried to commit suicide and semi succeeded. I was playing angry birds and enjoying myself immensely when my phone freaked out and continued to restart itself over and over again. It wouldn't even turn on all the way. Well I put it down and ignored it for a bit to see if it would fix itself. Bad idea. When I pulled my phone out and turned it on everything was gone. I have seven different screens on my phone and they all had something on them. Not anymore. Everything was gone. All my text messages were gone. All my contacts were gone. Except for three. I can still call Jocelyn's mom's cell phone and Olive Garden.
Now I have to go to Verizon and see if they can help me get my contacts off of back up assistant. I forgot my password.
I am currently making MAC and cheese with two puppies staring at me. Chris and Sandy come home from Vegas today. It's been fun and all but I can't wait to be back at my house and my own schedule.

Do You Know The Person in Front of You?
I ended up getting pulled over this evening on the way home from the barn. It was my own fault. Speeding and rolling through a stop sign. The cop was really funny and had a good sense of humor. My mom was following behind me a ways back and saw me on the side of the road. The cop actually asked me if I knew the person in front of me and if I wanted him to check it out. I seriously had to laugh at this one. I surprisingly managed to get off with a warning. Otherwise it would have been like $250. Yikes! At least that ended well!
I am proud of myself for making it through the week. Tomorrow Ali comes home and she is going to stay with me. Until then I'm with the puppies for the evening.

Where Are The Curtains?
Sorry for the lack of blogging but I have been rather stressed out at the moment. I have been house sitting for the past few days and I have finally started to settle in at the house with the dogs and horses. It's just been a lot of responsibly all at once but I think I'm doing okay at the moment. The dogs seem happy and the horses as well. This morning the dogs actually greeted me at the bottomof the stairs instead of growling at me like they did on Monday morning. I am just glad they are being good. The horses are also pretty low key as well. I wish I could say the same for my horses right now. They are both insane and I don't have the time to do anything with them.
I am currently watching George Lopez. It is hysterical! I am glad that I have finally started to watch it and settle in to the house. It is huge and I rattle around inside it. And there are no curtains. Now that is really weird for me but I et up early enough that it doesn't matter. I also don't have internet here. Yay for blogging from my phone. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day and I will take it as I will.

Speechless
Tonight I went to see Harry Potter and I was simply blown away. I was riveted to the screen the entire time I was there and was practically clinging to my seat in anticipation and terror at times. It was so well done and I just can't believe I have to wait until July for the last part of the Harry Potter series. That really makes me sad. I want it so badly but I don't want it to ever end. But all good things must come to end I guess.
Tomorrow is my last day at work and then in the late evening I will be going over to the house I am watching and my week of house sitting, horse sitting and dog sitting shall begin. I am nervous, but at the same time excited for something different and possibly a decent amount of money. I am just hoping everything goes smoothly and the week passes quickly and without a hitch. That's what I am hoping at least!!

Be A Surfer! Don't Let The Waves Get You!
On Fridays, none of us are motivated to do anything. Fridays are usually our day off. Going to business class after lunch was seriously like pulling teeth. The last thing I wanted to do was cower behind Chino and cringe when ever Joe stared at me with those intense eyes. We walked into class and found him already there, which is seriously a rarity. That's when he told us that the third hour of our class was going to be a party with the other PFT classmates next door. It wasn't going to be just any party. It was going to be a workout party. As PFTs we were mad excited over this fact. Screw the food! We get to beat each other up! Now, we have all been trained by the other instructor Carrie-Ann. We have never been taught by Joe. Boy, were we in for a surprise.
The serious, calm and slightly intimidating man that we usually see in class because a wild, exercise maniac when he was put in training mode. Our warm-up destroyed us. I seriously couldn't breathe at times. It was awesome! We ended up playing Simon says with exercises and did these things called surfers. We laid flat on our stomachs on the floor and then leaped up into a surfer position and did as many as we could in 40 seconds. It was so hard. I couldn't get up fast enough. It was all good fun though. We were so loud that the people upstairs came down and told us to shut up. It was epic. I have never seen Joe train before but now I know hoe majorly intense it is. And it's pretty kick ass.
Tonight I ended up going out with Kelly. I haven't seen her in who knows how long and the two of us decided we needed to change that. So we got together, grabbed some dinner and then headed out to West Hartford to have a blast. We hopped to a few different bars and caught up with everything in each others lives and talked about other friends, school, work, boys, dancing and knitting. I have seriously missed going out with her and my other friends. We are working on getting our friend Molly together with us and go dancing, rock climbing and having a baking day. It was fun to just kick back and relax with such a good friend.
We also discussed about our friend Jaci and how none of us have heard from her or have gotten a hold of her and how it is seriously bothering us. How can someone who has been such an amazing friend just give up on all of us? Ever since she came back from Paris she has been different and it is sad to see her just drift away. None of us feel like contacting her because we believe there is just no point in doing so. She won't respond to any of us. We don't think she has a job or anything like that. She just either sits at home or sits in someone's basement and games with our other friend Steph. It's just so sad, but there is nothing any of us can do about it. If she wants to push us away we are going to let her.
Oh well, tomorrow I think I might go shopping a bit and then go do stuff with my horses and hopefully will see Harry Potter in the evening. That would be fun. I also have to get cracking with my knitting seeing as I have way too much yarn and need to get rid of some of it.

What's Today? Monday?
I am just about done with everything. It's just been one of those days. School was long and business class just stresses me and everyone out completely. Just when I think I am doing okay, something new is added and I have no idea what is going on. Like half of the business plan rough draft is due tomorrow and I have no idea if any of the stuff I've done is right. Kathleen and I ended up chatting about it for a while on Facebook. She was freaking out and so was I. For better or worse I managed to do it. I would also my instructor questions but the man is just so darn intimidating. He has such a presence that makes me cower in my seat and feel like I am five years old. Kathleen said the same thing. There is just something about him that terrifies me. Kathleen believes he thinks she's an idiot, which I told her probably wasn't true. He has to understand by now that none of us know what's going on. Brian ended up working us out super hard yesterday because he was so frustrated with that class. All I know is that whenever Joe stares at me and doesn't blink I feel terrified and cower lower in my seat. When is this class over with?????
Now, I am mad stressed out and have so much business stuff to do that I feel like I am drowning in the work. I ended up having to go to the Equestrian Centre because my riding boot's heel ripped off and I kind of couldn't wear them. I ended up buying Ariat's but the style I got has a wide toe and they seriously look like clown shoes on me. Either that or I look like I have duck feet. At least they are comfortable. Then I have no idea what took my mom so long at the grocery store, but she didn't get home till late then reamed me and my dad for forgetting to feed the dog. I didn't get to the barn until after 7pm. I rode my horse for ten minutes and never got to my sister's horse. All I know is my mom drives me insane. She is so slow and drags everything out. I am freezing, hungry, thinking about my business plan that I still had to finish and was getting to the "we need to leave now or I am walking home." We didn't get home until after 9pm. I wolfed down dinner without my parents and vanished to my room. And here is where I sit.
I am just so frustrated with everything. I wish I had a job and had an apartment. I miss being away from home. I am just so burned out right now. And tomorrow is a make-up school day. I can't wait to spend all next week living at the house I'm watching along with three horses and two dogs. It will be a very nice change of pace.

No Wonder the Town is in Parentheses
It's the first of December and all it did was rain and the wind blew something fierce. It was like a hurricane. I thought I was going to blow away and do a Mary Poppins. I am seriously amazed I didn't. Also, how did December sneak up on us like this? The last time I looked it was September. I guess that's what happens when I find what I like to do. Oh well. Pretty soon, I'll be graduating and then its on to find a job in the real world. That is going to be scary but also rather exciting. I can't wait to start making a living for myself instead of depended on my parents all the time for everything.
Training with Brian and the girls went really well today. My arms are probably going to be sore tomorrow. I still know my legs and abs are. But it's a good burn. Kathleen also agrees. The two of us might stay after on Friday and work out together. We are also working on making it over to Gold's Gym together and seeing the place. I am tired of my expensive gym and she hates her gym. So why not try something new?
My two hour massage is actually next week, so that was a little disappointment today, but it's nothing I can't handle.
I have also come to a conclusion about something. I was watching Burn Notice which came on after Pysch, which was super awesome with the crazy small town that was so small it was in parentheses on a map, and I discovered something rather interesting. Now, I know exactly how my brain came up with it, and I am kind of annoyed it did, but it was an interesting thought. Mike got really into Burn Notice and, as far as I know, still is an avid watcher of the show. I now know why. The main character in the show is named Mike and is called Mikey all the time, and Mike always called himself that at school. The character is also smart and badass and such and I think Mike wants to be just like him. Just a thought. Now it's time for bed.
