the end of the world was beautiful

Seriously, today was such a beautiful day. Great weather, great mood and great activities. My roommate cooked us a fantastic breakfast at 11am, I went to a sosrority meeting and then to see pirates. I was having such a great day that I decided to go play bingo. I played both sessions at Pioneer and won on the very last game I played. See, great day. Since I won, I decided go play late night bingo at bingo bucks. Its about to start in 2 minutes, so I have to go.

I hope you had a great day as well.

I had a topic, but I changed my mind for 5 reasons

Earlier I was thinking that I would write about people supplying too much informaton when telling a story or asking for help because it happened to someone I know today. I don't what put anyone's business out there, so let's just say that it dealt with a sexual feeling... and that the person telling my friend was not a close friend.

It had definitely happened to me, but I've decided not to tell my story because I am just returning from seeing Fast five and OH! MY! GOODNESS! It was fan freaking tastic.

The people were hot, the dialogue was intriguing, the action was outstanding, and it just kept going and going. I was hanging on for dear life. They didn't provide a ton on technical knowledge ab out the heist, but I guess after you've watched the first few you need something else. I do appreciate the few times they added it though even though i have no idea what if they are giving correct info.

Muscles, muscles and bigger muscles was theme of this movie. Yes, there were average size fit men like Luda. Even Tyrese's body seemed smaller than usual. Vin Diesel's body was on point, but the Rock gave him more than a run for his money. His body is in a land all by his lonesome in the entertainment world, but I am okay with that. I don't like the facial hair thing he has going on, but I can ignore that because everything else looks grrreeeaaattt.

I haven't read any reviews, so I don't know what the consensus is on the movie. It will definitely be going into my collection and I may even go see it again while in theatres.

If you have seen it, I hope you stayed through the credits. WTF just happened? Was that really Letty? Dom's definitely going to get caught in the next one and I will be there to see it all unfold.

Here's the trailer if you've been living in a different world and haven't seen it.

He said what to you?

The following statements call for immediate and permanent separation...and depending on who you are, maybe a little self defense.

I always knew you were a slut
You don't deserve the things I give to you
You better not look like your mom when you get olderI can have you when I want you
Don't you ever or If you ever...(it doesn't matter what comes after that)
My last girlfriend did it, so why can you?
I want to get closer to you, so we should think about have a menage a trois
You stupid B***h
I don't know why we're together
Yes, I cheated (past or present), but it didn't mean anything...just sex.
I don't like you hanging out with...
You've really let yourself go
I didn't actually hit you, so you should be happy you got lucky
Why are you calling me? It's not my problem.
I settled...
I'm not making money to take care of you.
How stupid can you be?
Who run this house? You or me?
You're not wifey material (It doesn't matter if you wanted to marry him or not)

I can add to this list for days. The point I'm trying to make is that these statements don't only sound bad if they are said to you, but it makes you just as bad as the satement for staying. It's not worth it to stay and hear things like this. Just leave. Things like this eat away at your self esteem and creates bitterness inside. It makes life so much less enjoyable... and for what... a good #%&% or someone to watch a movie with. I hope that's it because starting a family with someone like this will hopefully not come back to bite you.

I don't know if leaving will be the smartest thing you've ever done, but it will be the most self-supportive thing you've ever done.

I almost wrote responses to those statements, but it just made me angry. These are not just things I've heard on TV or in passing. These are real statements that have been said to people I know over the past couple of years. Today, I heard one that just completely floored me. It's not on the list, but it is not even in the same category as any of the statements above.

Take care of the people you love, and leave the ones you don't love.

On the Wii again... (in my singing voice)

When I got in today, I decided that I wasn't going to put off working out any longer.. however, I didn't want to go the gym, so I pulled out the Wii Fit. This is the first time I have gotten on it since a couple of months before I moved to Texas.

I thought...it's gotta be like riding a bike. Once you know how, you never forget. That statement is very true in this situation. I remember the steps or moves or thrust like I've been doing them everyday. Unfortunately, I also remembered what it was like my first time playing on Wii fit... or rather my first time getting a beat down in Wii Fit. I was on it for exactly an hour and I am tired...any my back hurts a little.

I don't understand. It's not like I have been completely inactive since I've been here. I've probably been to the gym a total of 30 days and worked out at home quite a bit. I guess it's just a different kind of work out. I didn't burn off as many calories as I wanted, but I did continue moving for the entire hour. I even did a frew moves when in between games.

and to think... I was thinking about getting the insanity workout. I better slow my role.

I'm excited though... On my way to losing that 50 lbs by October.

May tomorrow bring more workouts.

Later.

No More

I got on Facebook right before I left work and I see this facebook status from a UTA student...

I got the worse phone call that a 20 yr old man could ever get. A phone call from your little brother crying that our mom just died at the age of 36 at home and I couldn't be there when my family needed me. :( RIP Mama I ♥ You!!! :(

WTF...

I immediately go into crisis management mode.
Find student id number and student phone number...check
Find out where student is...check
Email Important University Staff about class, counseling and other resources...check
Meet student..check
Console...check
Laugh a little...check
Discuss the upcoming week and how he wanted to proceed...check
Talk about the good times...check
Meet the cousin and some friends...check
Provide a little wisdonpm about strength, weakness, handling your responsibilities and taking care of yourself...check

Now, for some Wendy's to hit the spot.  Seriously, I need a break from traumatic events. This student is 20 years old, has a younger brother and a 12 year old sister. During the time I was ther, he went from talking clearly and saying I'm just going to take it one day at a time to crying in my shoulder and saying I'm mad because she's supposed to be here... She's supposed to be at my wedding and be at my brother's graduation in 2 weeks. I hate to be selfish, but this is unreal. 

Things like that just break my heart. Unfortunately, we don't get to choose everything, but thankfully his mom helped him move this past weekend. God always works things out even when we feel like things are crumbling down.

Cherish every moment.

The Year of Skinny

Over the past year or so, plus size women have been falling into the category of not a plus size woman.

Some by choice (dieting or changing their eating habits) and some by default (careers). There are a ton of people who have been on weight loss journeys over the last year and for various reasons, but the people I'm talking about have gone on their journeys and have completely blown their journey out of the water... and in a record amount of time or at least it seems like it.

I've been on my journey off an on for a couple years. I do well when I'm not exteremely busy or not completely bored. My life needs to be balanced in order for me to really commit. Otherwise, I just can't get it together. The great thing is that I really only fluctuate about 15 lbs. Okay, that may not be great, but it's also not 30 or 50lbs or up and down. I stay fairly consistent unless I go on for weeks eating fast food and not working out or playing wii.

When I moved to TX, I was eating out all of the time, especially with Pizza Hut right upstairs from my office. I do love me some pizza. Anyway, I gained about 16 lbs from Dec to April, which is insane. I had to get it together, so I have lost 14 of those lbs and I definitely have more to lose.

I have given myself a deadline of October 1st to lose 50 lbs even though I plan to lose is before school starts on August 25th. I am about 20 lbs away from my lowest weight post graduation, but I want to blow my journey out of the water too. Yeah, it will be great to be more fit and not wear smaller sizes, but my motivation is also about conforming. I really want to pursue acting in the near future. I don't believe that there is an age that's too old to get into acting, but I do think it's easier if you're fit for your size. That is myh goal... It's not to be skinny, but to be a fit plus size girl. No abs... just no round belly. You get my drift.

Anyway, enough about me. Here are some before and after pics of some celebrities that have done one heck of a job getting in shape.

Dinosaurs at the Zoo??? What year is it again?

For the past couple of weeks, people I know have been talking about going to see Dinosaurs at the zoo. You would expect me to think it's some type of exhibit, but I found myself questioning whether or not it was because of the things they were saying and how they were acting.

They all seemed shocked that they could go see Dinosaurs, so I asked what type of exhibit it was...and they would say It's just dinosaurs or I don't know, but I bet they are so big and scary. So, I would bite and say things like, are they just roaming around in a gated area at the Fort Worth Zoolike the other animals ? They would just give an uncomfortable laugh and continue talking about the zoo or change the subject. Really, is this happening?

I kept forgetting to look up this whole dinosaur situation until just a few seconds ago. You can all go to sleep with no worries... Dinosaurs are not raoming free or caged... It's an exhibit. :)

I feel silly for needing confirmation, but I was always told to never say something is impossible. Take a look at the exhibit below if you'd like(http://www.fortworthzoo.org/visit/dino.html). Most of you are in another state, so you won't be able to see the big and scary dinosaurs unless you come visit me before Jule 8th. Maybe there are dino's in your state.
