all the news
Oh, I'm a slacker.
I guess it'll be random updates from here on out. At least until my life gets more exciting and / or I have more time to do this.
It really is Dullsville around here, kids.
I'm still talking to one boy, but I'm thinking even the phrase "talking to" might be a bit of an exaggeration. He's taking his sweet time acclimating to the idea of meeting people online. Which I guess I get, so I'm not pushing (although I did e-mail him my phone number). Still, it's slow going, and I feel like I'm not doing enough to further the "have a man in my life" goal.
I expect I won't get confirmed for the dating event (I didn't make the first round of confirmations; guess they had more men than women sign up), so I have to come up with something else, and soon. Preferably something not terribly expensive. What a nuisance.
I am, however, making other positive changes. I've been taking a multi-vitamin for a couple of weeks now, and the past few days, I'm starting to feel the difference. I'm making an effort to get up at (roughly) the same time every day; and it's an early time, but I find it's working for me. And I started walking for exercise. Okay, so I've only actually walked once so far, but I bought sneaker-y-like shoes this morning, because walking in sandals gave me a blister, and I expect to be back on it tomorrow.
And the dress I recently bought that's two sizes smaller than most of what I've been wearing came in today and it fits great. So, yeah for that.
I'm also making an effort to get in touch with some folks I lost touch with who I really think added something to my life, and do other kinds of social things, even if they don't involve finding a man. I really don't get out often enough.
I'm currently all caught up with the course materials I have received so far for my class, and the end of summer isn't looking like such an unrealistic goal, thank god. I'm already terribly bored with this "skinny living".
This past weekend, however, was a total waste.
My grandmother decided she wanted to do a yard sale, so that automatically rooked my mother into it. I was going to blow the whole thing off, but I thought I might pick up some new Avon customers if I just sucked it up and did it.
I sold $20 in on-hand products, and picked up one customer order. I gave out maybe half a dozen catalogs. This basically made it a huge waste of my time.
This weekend, I plan to do very little that doesn't absolutely need to get done.
And that, kids, is all the news. Not just all the news that's fit to print; it's absolutely all the news. Bah.
