so this is coming and it should be fun.

im just hoping i can afford something nice. otherwise i will make him a nice dinner instead.

work has been slow. but we had someone quit in another department and since ive had every fucking job in that damn store i get to fill in. plus framing is my favorite job. but if they cant guarantee me more hours every week im going to have to get another job. especially since im going to be moving into a townhouse sometime very soon with my boyfriend. i know we can afford it because HE can afford it. we balance each other out very well. he saves like a Swedish bank but is not very good at keeping organized. I cant save a damn dime but then again i make half of what he makes, if that. Im incredibly good at keep my bills in order and payed. i may have alot of debt but i have good credit.

in other news, im sick. achy, low grade fever, coughing fits, headache. i do not do well when im sick. but then again who does.

in reference to my last blog: i ended up wining a football signed by the 2007 Bears from that raffle i didnt know i had won. the bf and I picked it up from the merchandise mart in chicago where the Q101studios are located. i had never been in there. its huge and very confusing for a first timer trying to find something. this was all last tuesday. after that we got lunch at Pita Pit in Lincoln Park. God i love that place! My friend Clint aka Dorsal's fiancee touched up my goldfish tattoos that he had done for me over the summer. I dont know if it was because of scar tissue or what but for some reason that shit hurt more than when they were originally done. I felt like such a pussy. I sat for 2 1/2 hours with only a few breaks but god did it hurt more this time. They came out nice and bright. Ill take some pictures when they are all healed up and done being itchy and scabby. We then visited Dorsal and her adorable baby Scarlett Rose.



i adore this child! I cant wait because i get to babysit her on Friday! It was so nice to see Dorsal again. I hope her and I can spend more time together and become closer friends.

After visiting Dorsal and Scarlett we went to Kuma's for dinner with my friend Andrea. I had the Neurosis. I've started keeping a list of what burgers i've had. I plan on having all of them! I love their calamari it sooooo good. I love squid feet!

My fish are doing much better. The levels have come down and the water is remarkably clear. I was getting impatient when it was cloudy but now the little ecosystem in the tank has evened out and the bacteria and algae in the water are under control.


o and i got new chucks. the old ones were starting to rip.

so clean and bright! its weird!

my weight loss plan/diet is working! i've lost 8 and 1/2 pounds so far in the past few weeks! I'm excited to get back into some of the clothes i love and to feel better about my figure. Granted the boyfriend says im perfect the way i am but i want to look good in a little itty bitty bikini. hopefully my progress will continue. I know i cant wait for some warm weather so i can get out and be in the sunshine. The only thing i feel is holding my weight loss back anymore is my own will power and motivation. im not depressed, not at college, and not in a bad relationship. so i have no real excuse other than not wanting to do the work and make the right choices.

so there.

anyway i feel icky so im gonna lay back down. i really dont wanna work tomorrow.
