Cinco en Mayo: An Update

Surprisingly enough, my quest to lose 5 pounds in May is actually kind of happening. I have managed to lose 2 pounds with a week and a half to go. I'm just happy to see any number less than my original number. For awhile I was getting concerned because I kept seeing higher numbers. The tide has at least been stemmed, if not turned. If I lose one more pound it will be the first time I've seen this new number for about 2 years, and that was only for about a week or so. And before that I was 18.

It helps that I have little disposable income and have slowed down on eating out. Sort of. It also doesn't hurt that I ran nine miles yesterday. Nine! My left knee is making me pay for it today but I did it. I need to get some of those knee straps, like the straps people wear for tennis elbow, only for runner's knee. I have no idea where in the Upper Valley to go for that sort of thing but it's my goal for the evening.

I WILL have a 6 pack by my 30th birthday. I will! If I do I promise to take a picture and share. If I actually manage a six pack you won't be able to stop me. I'll be going up to strangers on the street and flashing my abs. Is that indecent exposure?

Hey. If you notice I'm missing one of your favorite links over there in the sidebar let me know. And look! I have learned to alphabetize. Although there are two sections of alphabetical without so much as an explanation - FYI it's blogs versus fun sites that aren't necessarily blogs.

Making Eye Babies

Colleges often have a lot of rules the students need to follow. After all, a bunch of 18-21 year olds can't really be expected to self-govern on their own, at least not 24/7, no matter how vehement they are that they can do just that. (I was 18-21 once myself so I know it's annoying to hear that. I don't mean all 18-21 year olds individually, I mean when they all get together in one place.) Then there are Christian Colleges which have more rules, often based on biblical teachings and moral dictates. Further down the spectrum is Bob Jones University* which considers the Christian colleges just too darn liberal so they piles on a bunch of morally based codes of behavior. Not to be outdone by the crazy liberal heathens at Bob Jones, Pensacola Christian College goes hog wild with the rules and moral imperatives and makes the Taliban look almost liberal. An article in the March 24th edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education explains some of the rules and regulations the stu...

Gone by the wayside

I have no idea if anyone is reading this anymore. If you have been loyally checking back now and again I applaud you. At one point this blog was a therapeutic outlet for me. I'm glad to have a chronicle of my experiences during this time of my life. Now, however, instead of a creative outlet it's more of a nagging reminder that I should be posting and this girl does not need one more thing on her "To Do" list. I'd love for you to explore the archives if you so chose. If you have already done so, here's a brief update: Friendster Guy and I are still together and co-habitating. We are in domestic, but still unwedded, bliss (that status could be a post or two in and of itself, but, as I've just said, I'm done with that.) We're so domesticated we're in the market for granite countertops. We also just returned from an Aussie/New Zealand vacation and if 8 days in a tiny RV won't solidify (or destroy) a relationship nothing will. We're stronge...

Addendum to Resolutions

I'm adding two things to my New Year's Resolutions - 5) Read more using this list as a guide: 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. I have no idea how many I've already read. I'll have to make a spreadsheet. You can do anything with a spreadsheet. Not that you should , but you can. 6) Get a massage every 6-8 weeks . This probably doesn't need an explanation. I had one for only the 3rd time this week. It's been at least 4 years since my last one. My gym has a spa attached to it and they had an intern doing free massages. Hello? Sign me up! Now that I've had one I'm wanting more. If I eat out less I might even be able to justify it. I wonder if I can write it off on my taxes?
