Mayhem

So the vlogging might be in the next few entries. I'm having technical difficulties (bad at high-tech stuff + ocd/perfectionist issues = I will post nothing less than an awesome video that has been edited in Final Cut, and it'll take a while). I also have like no time in the house alone, so I can't privately talk to myself.


My high school friend is getting married tomorrow (well technically today, since it's after midnight...). I'm hoping to be 98 lbs in the morning. I just salt water flushed and it was somewhat unpleasant. But I feel all cleaned out! -_-
Should be an interesting evening at the wedding. I think a lot of people from high school will be there--people I haven't seen in like 8+ years. Weird. 


And then Saturday is Little Sis's sweet 16. I'm scared.


Basically, since that show My Super Sweet 16 came on MTV, all the kids in town have been trying to follow in the rich-spoiled-brat example and have ridiculous sweet 16 parties with themes and dj's and copious amounts of underage drinking and sluttage. Idk if it's like this in other places but this is how we roll up in Bergen County. One of the halls that people rent for these parties has actually banned sweet 16's after Little Sis's friend's party. Mum has done her best to prevent any debauchery: she has 2 bouncers, and she will be checking bags and not allowing any bottled beverages of any kind into the party. God bless her, she actually thinks Little Sis's friends will show up sober. 


I plan on hiding in a dark corner with a bottle of vodka.

Liquid Fast Day 1: Success!

I MUST be back down to 99 by Friday. Friend's wedding is Friday. And I will look good in that dress. Dammit.


You gals blog too darn fast. I missed reading for like a day and half and had to devote 7 hours to all the blogs I'm following. But I wouldn't have it any other way! It's time well spent. <3


I was just assaulted by no less than TWO house centipedes in the basement. I had my usual reaction, complete with hurling a full bucket of nasty dehumidifier water in the general direction of said centipedes. Now the basement stairs smell like a sewer. 


I hope you other gals are doing good on your fasts - I know Mona, one10am, and Pixiestix014 are fasting, too. Good luck girlies! I did good today: I had a 1/4 cup Carnation instant breakfast with 10 cals of almond milk and water (35), 2 1/2 cups of coffee (25), some soup (135), and some more almond milk (40). Did 45 mins of power-walking on the treadmill, too (~400). I'm going to make a serious effort to stop exercising with the painkillers. I have enough problems without adding more pills to the list. This means I can't run anymore because of Mr. Achilles in my left leg, but I can live with this. 


I've rediscovered how much I enjoy reading while walking on the treadmill, so this makes exercising slightly more enjoyable. 


Gem!!, I'm glad you enjoy my attempts at not swearing. :D I do try my best. 
Cinnamon Brown, flouncing is fabulous! I would flounce if I could, but when I try it tends to look more like there's something wrong with me. 
bonesarepure, have you tried drinking mugwort tea? It's the one and only natural sleep aid that works for me. It gives you really vivid dreams, though, but it's ok because it also makes you able to control your dreams...
Tracy, your Halloween decorating sounds fun!! I just pulled all of ours out of the basement. I did not find them satisfactory, so I think a trip to the Christmas Tree Shop is in order. 


I just watched one of the new episodes of Law & Order SVU. I hope this isn't spoiling it for anyone, BUT IT REALLY FRIGGIN UPSET ME THAT DESMOND IS A PEDOPHILE. Desmond is delicious. He made Lost bearable when it got retarded after the 3rd season. 
That's the show they should have done. Starring Desmond [with his shirt off] and your humble narrator stranded on a very small desert island. 

This is why I do not have a boyfriend. 

I think I might make a VLOG. I know, right?? - ME getting fancy with the technology! There must be a webcam in the house somewhere. Little Sis is always video chatting. I'll figure it out. Or I'll just record myself with my phone while I'm out grocery shopping, or hiking. Bystanders will think I'm off my rocker. What do you ladies think? I'm terrified of being on video. I've only just mastered making myself look acceptable in photos... 0.o
