As of late

I'm going to Las Vegas for spring break and I thought it woudl be nice to tone up a bit before I show up. I love to take tons of vacation photos and I want them to be nice! I forget, however, how much I hate the gym. I have never left the gym with that feeling so many talk about. It sounds like a mixture of accomplishment and endorphin rush, but I have never felt this, I always leave sweaty, hungry and tired. I could get lost in the desert and get the same results, but with a tan. Which is my new solution, instead of going to the gym, I will just tan before I go. Genius.
I also have a new idea for my schooling direction. I want to switch my major to "general studies" I am close to finishing if I do! Only 44 more credits and I'm done. Plus, I am going to try to become a registered CNA over the summer. I know that CNA work is mostly wiping butts and being puked on, but I really want to ceritfication for the options it will open up. And who knows, maybe I am great at taking care of sick people and I just dont know it yet!
The search for a job continues... I must get the tutoring position I applied for, because if not Taco John's is in walking distance. yikes.

The never-ending war between my shoes and comfort

I never knew that I would become a shoe addict, but here I am. I have spent over 200$ on a single pair for shoes, while not amazing for many, is still somewhat astounding for me. I have many shoes, mostly uncomfortable, impractical, but always gorgeous. I fought the weather and lost today. I would a beautiful pair of bronze boots with no insulation or traction, I paid for it with cold, numb and newly blistered feet, but by-God the looked nice.

What do I want to do?

I hate it when people ask me what I want to do. It changes daily!! One day I want to be a stay at home mom, the next day I want to move to some remote county and volunteer my help for the rest of my life.
If what I want to do is reflected in what I do then I want to:
clean
play with animals
knit
cook
spend too much time on my looks
I feel like I am a stay at home mom for now. I get up, make Tracy something to eat, clean, do laundry, make Tracy lunch, clean the house, knit/scrapbook/sew and then watch a movie and go to bed. While I am having fun and life is easy and happy right now I can already tell this is not what I want to do forever. I love not having to wake up early and work, but I'm already going stir crazy and feeling under appreciated and under-utilized.

fun pack of movies!

Ferryman: about the boatman on the river Stix, he takes over vacation boats on the Carribean... terrible

Accepted: Campy movie about a young man who was not acceptd to any college, so he made his own. Actually pretty good

All I Want To Do: About girls at an all-girls school who resist being merged with a boys academy, really cute

The Messengers: scary and unexpected

No Reservation: an anal-retentive chef is given custody of a child and falls in love with a co-worker, pretty cute

Movie: Arachnaphobia

I will never, ever watch this again. I thought I was finished being afraid of spiders when I was 9, I was wrong. I screamed, had goosebumps, and actually frightened the dog while watching this movie. The story is that a photographer from a small Californian town brings back a killer evil epic spider from a shoot in South America, IN HIS DEAD BODY. Then the town is terrorized by the spiders. Little than an hour after the movie a queen ant fell on me, its January, why was the ant out??

Hannibal Rising

This movie shows us how Hannibal Lector grew up and what forces contributed to his brilliance and madness. They laid the cannibalism on a little thick, but the gore was both accurate and unflinching. Hannibal had a little sister named Mischa, which is one of my favorite names ever. Now, though, every time I hear that name I think of a little kid getting eaten. Bad news bears.

Off-shore Oil rigs

Best hide out ever! Off-shore oil rigs provide the best protection from shambling hordes of the undead, while also providing a continuous supply of energy and food. I love seafood so I really can't see this one going badly.

Fear

This movie scared the CRAP out of me. Mark Wahlberg falls creepy in love with Reese Witherspoon and when she breaks up with him he goes psycho. The description I read of it made it seem more romatic than obsessive. I was lied to. By the end I had comeplety become disgusted with myslef for ever have a little girl crush on Mark Wahlberg, he plays crazy a little too well.
