It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 22:14:24 GMT

... until I found out both my mom and my boyfriend are working Christmas Eve and Day. Mom works nights so we wont be with her Christmas Eve and Christmas day after 6 pm. Josh works until 6 o clock on 24th and 25th so I wont see him on the 24th because I'm going to my aunt's house BUT on Christmas Day we're going to the "Festival of Lights" and afterward we're exchanging gifts. Jessica told me he bought me like 7 presents to make up for nothing last Christmas when he was unemployed. It's a bit much but he insists... :/ I'm looking up used Ford Mustangs just for giggles because I finally get my license on my 18th birthday! I have mom's old Jeep Cherokee 1996 (it's green)... but I really really really would rather have a Mustang. Oh well. Sadly both probably have the same low gas mileage. LOL The 1999 model is my favorite.

They call me super girl <3

Today was odd. I went to optometrist to get my glasses fixed (lens randomly popped out). Wasn't a real emergency or anything because I don't wear them often but it is annoying. Well, fixed and just like new. The weather sucks. Foggy! Misty! Humid! HOT. Um, for this time of year anyway. 70 degrees! BOORINGG. I guess that's what I get for living coastal. I went to Target with mom and bought some Xmas gifts, I got Josh a $22 Sigg aluminum water bottle. It better last forever. lol I got it in "charcoal black". He really needs it for the gym and for at work. He works at Sports Authority and is on his feet a lot. He's getting tired of using the water fountain constantly, so me, being best girlfriend ever, is supplying a need! His gift is themed "fitness". lol Last year he got a Panda Express gift card and a plush Panda toy and a love note in a "take out" box. It was the only gift he got because his dad was unemployed. He told me it meant a lot to him. :) Christmas memories. Aah. I'm tired. It's been a long day. I also moved concessions supplies from the new church building into my closet in the old building today. Loaded all in an old Walmart cart. Everything was in the new building because of the Youth Rally last Friday. Wednesday night this week is the all church potluck and Christmas program so I'm not running concessions, a nice break! I'm bringing brown sugar chicken wings to the potluck. Yummy, but fattening. Ha ha. The recipe is literally chicken, brown sugar, sea salt, ground pepper and BUTTER. Not margarine. BUTTER. Butter butter butter. I got a 88 on Trigonometry. :( I wanted something higher but that test was HARD, I had Mrs. Carol's help through like half of it seemed like. Oh well.

Finally, I don't think I've changed it since 2007 it feels like. It was so old school Xanga. LOL I went to church this morning, it was really good. A man's foot was healed! I went to a taqueria with Josh because we had a coupon from the back of a Kroger's receipt. It was okay but the tortilla chips tasted like deep fried corn tortillas. CHEAP! That's not a chip! >.< Oh well. The salsa was delicious, no garlic! Therefore, no lingering aftertaste/breath. I got some fajita meat sauteed with peppers and onions and served with flour tortillas, beans and rice. It kept me full most of the day, I could barely eat the roast mom made. Josh took me to Kroger and I used mom's card to buy food for the Xmas party at school. It was good "bonding time". Hee hee.

I took Josh to see the Princess & The Frog last night (I bought the tickets lol), it was so good! Finally, a 2d Disney movie! A princess at that! I LOVED it. I have the music stuck in my head now.

Friday night youth meeting was a success aside from my hormone induced stress they love to label "PMS" affecting me and my boyfriend calling me "standoffish" as I tried to prepare free hot cocoa for 40 teenagers in my concession stand... Burned my hand on some of that potent stuff. I can't feel it anymore though. For once, I actually feel almost old surrounded by all those kids... I was once one of them but when I graduate in May, I'll be a leader! I mean, technically, I'm already a leader but age wise you know... lol. Today is kind of not planned but planned. I don't know when Josh is going to call me. His phone is off. We're seeing the Princess and the Frog (lol) later and going to McDonalds with the Arch Cards that were left over from the game prizes from last night.

Cinnamon twistie

The title is totally irrelevant to anything I have to say. Though I did eat a Pillsbury cinnamon twist for breakfast. Josh's car is acting weird, I hope it isn't anything too serious. We're getting our tree up tonight. I got out for school on Friday for "snow". Snow that never came! Daaaang. It flew around and hit the ground... and melted. Then the power went out so me, Josh and Jessica went to Mrs. Tracy's house to play cards, etc. I'm not at church because mom worked last night and dad went to "party" with his friends. Whatever that means! lol I'm sure he's hungover. I went to LA Fitness yesterday and did 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill on a steep incline (heart rate of 170!!) and Josh was coaching me with the weight machines. I did some arm stuff (ow) and the "hip abduction". OW. It didn't feel sore until this morning! lol But it's a good pain! I love it. Mom is making some pecan pie for my Grandma who is in rehab for breaking her foot. She's not doing too well. :( Hannah and Bethany have sore throats and wont stop coughing! So annoying! I hate winter colds! They make me cringe!

I keep breaking out acne around my mouth, so I've had to lay off any lip balm or gloss. I keep my face clean, I moisturize, everything! I know my skin routine very well. But I wonder if my lip balm is causing acne? It's such an awkward place for a zit, I can't kiss my boyfriend because it hurts. :(

Gah... almost Christmas! I'm officially getting him a steel water bottle for him to use with his new gym membership! And maybe a sweat band. I'll theme his gift "fitnessy". lol

Boyfriend's Xmas gift...

I don't want to get him anything stupid this year (although my Panda Express gift card and Panda Express plush bear inside a little Christmas theme Chinese take out box was genius) I want to get him something he needs. I was thinking... a steel water bottle? A nice one he can use at work. ^^ (He doesn't go on Xanga so he'll never see this! :D lol) Or maybe something to make him smell good. idk What to do what to do...

Long time, no blog!

I haven't written in FOREVER. I used to use Xanga like a diary now it's like I feel like it has to be perfect to even post it! No; I'm writing for ME. SAT was this weekend, totally sucked. I bombed the math badly, but the English was almost laughable it was so easy. I was in a classroom at some random public school (I'm in a 16 student private high school) I don't attend, it was so awkward! I didn't know anyone and I had this horrible zit above my lip! I still do, I hardly breakout anymore but when I do, it's bad.

I wanna lose some weight and get into a better shape! It's better than being a size 12 two years ago to a size 6 to an 8 (depending on where I shop) now! But I want to lose more. Not bone potruding "I GOTTA BE SKINNY *PUKE PUKE*" thin but just thin enough to where my thighs don't jiggle when I walk around in a swimsuit and my tummy roll when I sit in an innertube on the Schlitterbahn lazy river!

I can do it! My dillema? I love to cook. I want to go to culinary school. I love food. I love BAD food. I've been doing good trying to convert my diet to a more Kosher lifestyle. So far I've only cut out pork when I can! (Cheap multi pack corn dogs still have some pork in them but in this economy, it'll do.) I haven't had bacon or sausage in forever and I think it will help cholesterol go down! When I'm tempted to indulge in sausage, I think about the snorting (which I hate) and the garbage that they eat (EW) or the fact that they have no sweat glands and it's enough to turn me off. I'm having trouble ditching shrimp though! I only indulge as a treat on something good. Like Baja coconut shrimp at my favorite Mexican joint! :)

I'm still waiting for Josh to call me, he should be off of work soon, I'll ask him over for dinner to help finish off the leftover chicken and rice casserole Mom made.
