A Library Of Living Life.

Is starting to get really frustrated. I hate that the weightloss and body toning process is so slow. It drives me crazy how long it take for the improvement to show. But what makes me even more frustrated is how long it take for skin to tighten up. It is almost discouraging. I was hoping that this summer would be the summer of swimming and sun bathing. Ya know, one year post severe weightloss and after the loose skin has finally tightened up giving me the body I have always wanted...or at least a body that I feel comfortable walking around with my shirt off. The body where the sagging extra skin doesn't give me a muffin top. But it seems like this is not that year. I dunno how much swimming I am gonna get in this year, none probably. Unless I get in really good with a couple surgeons and they give me a tummy tuck, now that would be lovely. Just get rid of all the saggy skin. I have been trying all the techniques I know to help the process along just a tad faster. Exfoliating twice

Thank Gods Summer is finally here. I am in love with this time of year. I love how bright everything and how happy everyone gets, I love having the ability to walk and ride my bike everywhere without having to worry about making it to where I am going before it snows or starts to rain. I love all the fashion of summer... AKA the surprising lack of clothing. Haha. But seriously, summer produces some of the cutest clothes. Today I went for a hike up to the top of Scout Mountain and it was just wonderful. I forgot how long it takes to get up there, but it was totally worth it. There is a certain beauty that cannot be seen anywhere else but in nature. Not only did I get to see all the beauty of nature, I got myself some sun. This year, I have decided to support the Wifebeater tan... Yes, I have already achieved the Wifebeater sans Wifebeater. I hope to continue my hiking adventures. One hike a week. I did it last year, and I loved it, so I hope to do it again this year...but with one chang

The stream of human emotion is flowing again. So much is going through my mind that I cannot focus on the things I SHOULD be focusing on. All I can think of is a song sung by Michael Buble, "That's All." I absolutely adore that song. I am wanting to be in Like with someone right now so badly. I hear all these lovely songs about love, and the like, and I am jealous that I am not at the stage of life right now. The love of my life, lives in a different state. And ther really isn't much I can do about it. I have come to my senses. For a while there I almost picked up and moved to Tucson, selling all my stuff and quitting my jobs. Dropping out if college didn't seem like a bad idea. I was more than ready to get a plane ticket and just leave. All my clothes were already packed. Pricing plane tickets was the main focus. Why did I change my mind? Well I was talking with a good friend of mine and telling him all about it and he made me think really hard about it. He told

It is so interesting to stop and actually look at life. Some things are so ridiculous, yet so controlling. For example, traffic lights. They are something created by man. Cannot think, breathe, hold emotion. It is a non-living object. BUT it controls so much of our lives. It controls several actions we perform in a vehicle. The traffic light tells us when we can continue driving, it tells us when we need to be cautious and it tells us when we are forbidden to pass. How ridiculous is it that we allow such an object to tell us what we can and cannot do? We put ourselves at the mercy of a box of electrical wire and three differently colored light bulbs. I often find myself getting jealous that Life itself does not have a traffic light to help me do the right thing. Why is there no signal to just tell me what I am doing or thinking of doing is a No-no? There is no 'Forbidden' or 'Stop' light. No 'Approach-With-Caution' light. And definitely no 'Go-For-It' li

Three days ago, almost every 20 minutes, the words, "Jacob this is your apartment" or "Jacob, you have an apartment" came out of Lakota's mouth. And yes you guessed it, I have am officially in my apartment. And I freaking love it. It is so wonderful to actually be out on my own. No roommmate, no shared living space. It is all mine. I can roam around from room to room naked and not have to worry about freaking out a person if the happened to walk in...well there is one person that I might have to worry about walking it, and that is my spare key holder, but I really am not worried...mainly because I could hear them trying to unlock the door, and I would shamefully put some clothes on. Lame. But finally it is all mine and I couldn't be happier. Main reason for wanting to move out...Yes, yes I know, you thought I covered this already...having a place of my own, being more independent, and so on....WELL the truth is that about a week before I get news of this apa

SO, news on the Duvet Bedspread Cover... to be exact it is the Citron Garden Mini Duvet Cover Set By Urban. To see what all the hull-a-baloo is about, copy and paste this link into your web browser ---> http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=122046 I go back into Bed, Bath and Beyond today to take matters into my own hands. I go back to get the Duvet Cover Set, AND it is no longer there. What? Yes they MOVED it to where it SHOULD be. Haha, it made me laugh. And above where it used to be, there was a sticker that said "MOVE OVER NIGHT!" Ha. That makes me feel good actually. I caused such a scene that they actually took care of their mistake. Well I go to purchase the cover set, and tell my story...Scoring 20% off my purchase, bring my total down to what the price would have been if it was on clearance...yes I double checked all the math and that is correct. NOW to get the whole collection for that price. Here is what needs to happen. I need 4 people to go to bedba

Today was such a great day, then it was tainted with 3 hours and 47 lethargic minutes. I was doing so good. Being super productive and being in such a great mood nonetheless. I finished all my laundry, sold the futon, boxed up all my kitchen stuff, clothes, bathroom stuff, home decor, and extra bedding. I worked today. Fixed a couple things. Went for a bike ride. Visited some family. Despite all my success today, I have failed to shower, brush my teeth twice, eat dinner, apply deodorant, do anything with my appearance, failed to sell antiques to the antique shop, didn't put both sets of dishes, coffee table and t.v. on Craigslist, still not registered for next semester, and yet again I forgot to take my stack of letters to the post office. And now I lay in bed at 10:00 PM. I pictured this night going completely different. Including some friends. Ha. But I haven't heard from any of my friends today, with the exception of Marina. But that was this morning and I was in the ZONE. H

I know, I know, ya'll are sick of hearing about this apartment that I am madly in love about, BUT I just have to make it known that I am officially the new tenant. Hurray!! Now it is just a long wait for it to actually open and the current tenant to get out. ha. It is only a matter of 3 weeks. Hopefully I will be able to move in within the next 2 weeks teehee. BUT I will not get my hopes up. Just keep myself busy and not let myself think TOO much about it...What the hell am I saying? I have already purchased a couch, kitchen rack, coffee table, bookshelves, dishes and all this home decor. Gaaaaay! But once I get in there, it is gonna be hella cute.
