If you ever want the greatest homemade carmel corn recipie

this stuff is the shit.

I like my new tradition of cooking with the boyfriend every new year. It sure beats the hell out of getting shit faced...though I still want to go to the House of Blues one year.

Happy new year all!

So Jon has had me on this workout plan for the last several weeks. Its this really intense weight training circut that supposedly burns fat like no other. Everytime I do it, I either get a really bad migraine or I feel like I'm going to puke or both....and for some odd reason its the only time of the day when I actually come close to remotely liking myself. Its pretty sick.

I just realized today that I have four months until I go on that cruise. And there is no way I'm getting into a bathing suit looking like this. So medication or no medication, sodexho or no sodexho, if I have to eat nothing but protein bars for the next four months.....I'm going to lose this weight if it kills me to do it.

And knowing me, all this motivation will die the moment I actually figure out how much money its going to cost me to eat nothing but protein bars for the next four months.

Speaking of Sodexho...those of you who go and or went to Cornhell, there is now a niffty little meal calculator, thanks to Brian McMillan, that tells you exactly how much Sodexho is ripping you off. Pretty niffty indeed...apparently I pay about 7.48 for each of my meals....and I don't even eat at half of them.
Check it out if you have the time. http://www.thecornellian.com/features/dining/index.php

I can't wait to see how Sodexho responds to that one.

So my ankle colapsed on me again today...this time it was coming down the stairs....fucked up the ankle again and my knee. So if it snows tomorrow...don't be surprised.

Ok I know this sounds crazy...but I miss someone right now who I really truely shouldn't be missing at all. I mean, the guy made me cry more than...well...probably any person on the planet. But he was the only person in the world who I could actually tell every last little thought that crossed my mind.

I miss singing Savage Garden songs in the car.

I wonder sometimes if I should have dealt with this situation in a different manner. Not that I regret anything I did, it was all neccessary...but I wish I had my best friend back.

You are only crazy on Tuesdays at Midnight.

Well, aren't you lucky. You only suffer from random bouts of crazyness. It will come and go, just like heartburn for most people. Avoid stressful situations on Tuesdays and all should be fine.

PS....take my friend's quiz...its quite entertaining.

So that whole thing in my last entry I wrote about getting serious and getting my ass in shape....well its not shaping out so well... So goes everyone into the world but I, and I am sunburnt. I may sit here and cry heigh ho......

Why do I bother trying so hard. I'd never be content with myself even if I lost all that weight....so I should just learn to be happy being miserable.

But I definitely love my sisters...especially when we go on service projects and just sit around bitching about men....it makes me feel better when I hear them talking about the same shit. I don't feel like I'm putting up with something I shouldn't and settling. I always wonder.

Alright, now the Much Ado is over and is no longer consuming my life ( which I'm actually quite sad about...mostly because of the actual INTELLIGENT conversation I had with a few of the cast members and the director on a regular basis which I will be missing greatly...along with all the cast debauchery) its time to get down to reality and get back into the swing of things.

I think I've finally worked out a way to get this diet thing to work at Cornell...Skip dinner and go to afterhours...where they apparently serve plain chicken and plain hamburgers everynight...who knew they actually knew what protein was? I have time to work out again that doesn't include sprinting up the hill to make it to class on time, which wasn't fun the few times I tried it. And contrary to original plans, I might actually take that dance class next block.

All this thanks to the wonderful Joyce Peifer, director extrodinaire and probably the coolest woman I know, who has convinced me I have a future in shakespeare, whether acting or directing. So its time to get my ass in shape. The Goal is ten pounds by christmas, 40-50 for the summer. 60 would be nice, but lets take it one step at a time, shall we.

On the suckier side of life, I can't find one of the sources I need for my honors thesis. The only copy I found of it was on Amazon (apparently no library in the country has it) and it costs 70 bucks. OUCH! I wonder if I could get the English department to pay for it....it'd be a wonderful tool to have guys ;-)

And I've adopted an official freshman...he's so adorable. Oh and Emily, I don't know if Colleen has told you yet, but you are a great grandmother now. I got a rhoze kid this year! YAY!

I heart my Much Ado cast so much...they make me laugh hardcore.

I definitely could get used to this director thingy.

So, we haven't even started rehersals yet, and my cast is already quiting on me....this does not bode well. How did I let Katy talk me into this. Oh yeah...I'm Shakespeare obsessed....someone remind me to get a CAT Scan.

On the plus side, I'm actually working right now which is really cool. I'm working for the most evil people on the planet....but they pay me good money, so I'm not going to get on any high horses anytime soon. Wow....at the rate my standards are dropping, pretty soon I'll start buying their products and start smoking. Although that one might be more related to stress than anything else....

Jon and I are probably going to Florida for Spring break which makes me soooo happy cause I've never gotten to go anywhere for spring break. and I love Disney World. If we book now, we found prices that for round trip flights out of Cedar Rapids and a weeks hotel for under 300 dollars per person....which is pretty sweet. I only hope he doesn't try to pay for all of it himself.

Right now I'm just trying to not burn out within the first month of school. Its already killing me. I've stopped really doing my homework, well really I'm just prioritizing it differently. But I have to be careful in this class considering its the most important class of my senior year!

On an ironic note...we're singing "Sing Me to Heaven" in choir this year, which we happened to sing my senior year in high school. Its a beautiful song that makes me both laugh and cry...and I think Jennie and Lo would be the only ones who could come close to understanding what a joke that song was...ok it wasn't the song it was all Langley! But still the song makes me giggle....
