Things

- In THREE weeks I'll be in Florida. I've never been so excited to go to Florida in my life.

- In TWO weeks I'll be visiting Gemma in Manchester, so excited!

- I'm really into google's calorie counting app thing. It's really helpful for me on my quest to not be a gigantic fatty.

- I also love baking and can't wait till I have a family to bake for. Though the baking is making it harder for me to be healthy since I eat a lot of raw dough. Mehhh. If only I got some exercise. But, seriously I LOVE baking.

- Today it was so cold in my office that my hands are still cold, two hours later. So so so cold. Like painfully cold. Artic cold. And so on.

- I am loving the book about Shakespeare I'm reading: 1599: A Year in the life of William Shakespeare by James Shapiro. I'll write a review after I'm done. Then I'm starting the book Ruth lent me, One Day by David Nicholls. Yey reading.

- I have my second dissertation meeting tomorrow. eeep.

- I have so much work to do. I'm not doing any of it tonight.

SamCam is pregnant! It's probably a sign of my overwhelming desire to have a baby that I was super excited when I read the headline. FYI to all concerned readers (aka my parents): I have no plans to have a baby anytime soon. I just want to hold one.

this song pretty much describes me current mental state:

Goal in Life

To attend a sing-a-long jam session in Ireland. Like the one in Once. Or one like this, with Glen Hansard singing the most beautiful song ever and the audience softly singing along. Bahhhh so jealous of all in attendance.

The highlight of tonight was watching Glee. Even though I didn't like the episode, I really do not like Mr. Schuester's wife. She's AWFUL. But, anyways, there's this song they play during the sad parts that reminds me so much of this song from Once. A song that I didn't realize was SO sad until now. Wow. I might watch Once tonight. Great film.

Aw Yeaaa

The National performed the opening track from their new album (which comes out in May) on Jimmy Fallon a few days ago. Actually, like almost two weeks ago, but I've been in England, soooo. Anyways, I'm diggin it.

things 2 do 2day

1- Eat some oatmeal, without a banana since I can't afford those cals. I'll eat the oatmeal in lieu of a cookie later. SAD.

2- Walk my fat a** to Regents Park for some semblance of exercise. Get coffee on the way.

3- Do some work until 1145.

4- Go to Waitrose, buy only healthy foods.

5- Do Work ALL DAY.

6- Watch Glee

I'll also have some healthy meals. BAH. No fun.

How I will Lose EIGHT POUNDS before Florida

I'm really becoming a creature of Walmart. I can't believe I let myself go SO much. When evaluating my life in the last 4 minutes, I but the blame on two main culprits: CHEESE and BAKED GOODS. So now for the next three weeks and one day until I leave for Florida I will eat no cheese and no baked goods. Plus I will count every calorie I eat. It's only three weeks! I can do it. Maybe.

I'm also hoping I like lose 2 pounds today by just not eating like yesterday. But we'll see. BLAH.
