No denying it

There is no more denying it...I'm fat.

It's true.

NONE of my pants fit...NONE. I've been doing the diet thing for like a week now and had planned to run with it but it's been so damn cold that I have wussed out.

I see all you lovely ladies in blog land and I know you're lookin smokin'. Granted, lots of you run around after kids all day...I'm not quite ready for that level of exercise!

Got any tips? Good lowfat recipes? How do you supress cravings for bad foods? Any exercises you love?

I'm always looking for an excuse to shop but I love my clothes and I want to fit into them again! HELP!

Gunpowder & Lead

Had a great weekend with Mr. Fix-It. Saturday we spent some quality time together at the firing lane. (I'd like to note that I was NOT prepared to go shooting and was the only person there in heels)Mr. Fix-It has a new .38 revolver that he wanted to try out. Unfortunately, he didn't get to try it much as I fell in love with it the first shot I fired. It just fits my hand. His .45 is just too bulky for me to get a good grip on.

That night we went to the wedding of an old college friend. The wedding was looooong and it took the bride and groom an hour to get to the reception site...which meant an hour with no food...which meant i was starving...which meant I left the reception before she even got there and we went and ate elsewhere. If you're ever in Madison, GA...I reccomend The Chop House. Ben and Trisha came with us. Mr. Fix-It had only met them in passing and I was wondering how things would go but he was really excited and wants to go out with them again. Since all our friends are so spread out, we don't get to do fun things other people much...We're both excited about dating other couples :)

We have made the wedding circuit over the past few monthes and we're both excited to be going to the last one for a while next weekend. If one good thing has come from it, I feel like wedding planning will be a breeze now because I have definite ideas of what I do and don't want now thanks to all my "research" this summer.

Friday Flashback

Ahhh...college, the early years. This was sophomore year, which was probably the best year of college. All my friends had transferred to UGA and no one had graduated yet. All these girls were my Sigma Alpha sisters. Sigma Alpha is a professional agricultural sorority. I was never big into the sisterhood thing but it did help me keep in touch with lots of high school friends from across the state in FFA and 4-H. The 3 girls to my right are "the girls". We all met through FFA in high school and clicked when we came to college. All of us ended up being ag teachers so now even though we're spread throughout the state we still get to see each other at least once a month, even if it is at work.

Check out the hair! (or maybe dont!) I made a horrible mistake of having short hair for a while...not a good idea...this was the awkward growing out stage...ick!

I'm also a fan of the 2 girls faces on the right...they are obviously disgusted...i guess the dawgs weren't playing so great at the time.

Find x...here it is!

Has anyone else ever felt like this? I'm currently taking a Calculus class that is kicking my tail! I hate numbers...unless they are telling me that a fabulous pair of shoes are on sale or that I have a surplus in the bank account...I KNOW without a doubt I'll never use it...and I get frustrated so easily with it. I have a test on Friday so if you could send some positive vibes my way that would be grand!

Speaking of frustrated...I'm getting that way with the long distance thing with Mr. Fix-IT (the boyfriend). With him working in the AUG right now our only way to stay connected is our daily chats but neither of us have anything interesting to say. I write papers all day and he plays in the dirt. Every day's covo is the same:

How was your day?
Fine, how was yours?
It was good. Insert dull ( occassionally interesting tidbit here) Did you do anything exciting?
Not particularly....ad naseum

We miss each other and talking at least makes me feel connected but I've never been the type to sit and listen to someone breathe or just go about their daily routine. Not cool.

For now, its time to go crunch more (imaginary) numbers.

My Blogging Debut

I broke down and did it.

After swearing that I was far too busy for a blogging and justifying with the question of "who-would-ever-want-to-hear-about-the-monotony-of-my-life...I broke down and created a blog. I've never been much of the keep a journal, tell your feelings crap but I like the idea of sharing my life and finding out about others. So, feel free to check in on my daily adventures!

Tomorrow begins the first day of a new exercise routine I'm trying...stay tuned for what are sure to be some interesting posts.
