Me: Death Warmed Over

Feb 17

Posted by Bobbi in Issues, Lazy, Product Reviews, School | 1 Comment

I thought I was going to get away without catching a cold this winter, but then I got a slight tickle in my throat on Friday evening. Saturday I woke up with a slightly stuffy nose and a worse sore throat. By Sunday, I felt like death warmed over. I had to drive home to go to a doctor’s appointment yesterday, and I felt so much better. I thought maybe the cold would be short and over by today! All last night, though, I was awake coughing, blowing my nose, and being angry at whoever gave me this stupid cold.

I’m a big baby when I’m sick. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m tough, but the minute I can’t breathe through my nose, I turn into the whiniest (is that a word?) baby you’ve ever seen. A sleepless night + blowing my nose + feeling like death warmed over = no classes for me today. Instead, I’m going to use today to study for an exam I have on Thursday, drop prescriptions off at Walmart and do a tiny bit of laundry.

The biggest annoyance with this cold is that I want to go to the gym so badly, but I’m just not up to it. I know there are differing views out there on whether you can exercise during a cold or not, but I’d just prefer to rest up and feel better so that when I do head back to the gym tomorrow or Thursday I’ll be back at 100%.

Speaking of the gym, I want to get one of those talking watches so that I know how long I’ve been at the gym. The gym I go to doesn’t have clocks on the wall and it drives me crazy!

Shrinking Jeans: Week 2

Dec 22

Posted by Bobbi in Diet & Exercise, Fitness, Issues, Lazy | 1 Comment

Yes, I realize this is almost a week late. I’m sorry! I’ve been uber busy with Christmas stuff, finals, and enjoying my time off. I’ve done a little bit of extra eating, too, which hasn’t helped with my Shrinking Jeans/WW goals. When I weighed myself on Wednesday, I was back at 180. Right on the dot. -Gulp!-

I haven’t exercised. I haven’t been logging in what I eat throughout the day. I’ve been drinking water, but not like I should be. So I’m owning up to my (bad) behavior right now and vowing to do better.

I’m not going to lie. It’s hard because I’m baking cookies to give to family and friends. On the upside, I’ve got lots of cleaning and laundry which means a couple activity points for today. I will also try to take the dogs in our neighbor’s backyard later and run around with them.

So yeah. Sorry for the delayed post. I guess part of the reason why I kept putting it off was because I’m disappointed in myself. These are the times when I seriously consider taking diet pills because I get so frustrated with myself and lose motivation. But! The negative thinking stops here.

My 22nd Birthday

I was born at 1:37am and for the past five years or so I’ve woken up at exactly that time on my birthday. This year, I managed to sleep right through it until 6:00am, when Tom woke up.

He finally came to get me (with the help of the dogs) at 8:00am because he was so excited that it was my birthday! He brought me a birthday card about farting (boys…) and it was even signed by Hunter, Remington and Romeo (and Tom of course). It was really cute. I’ll have to take pictures of the written part from each animal because … well, the little sayings speak for themselves.

Tom was nice enough to make me french toast for breakfast, which he has never done before. It turned out really great, and I was pleasantly surprised because he never tries to cook! Next we lounged around watching Food Network and reading the newspaper (well, I was cutting coupons, my usual Sunday activity). We ended up taking the dogs to the park for about an hour which was fun. Hunter does this thing where he digs and flings the dirt to Remington, who stands directly behind him (and ends up laying down in the dirt). Cute, but dirty!

After the dog park, we came home to pick up a friend so we could go to brunch. I had the filet mignon and omelette with four(?) mimosas. They were small, don’t worry! But sooo delicious. We were absolutely stuffed but still wanted to try and find a bookcase. The one we had out in the living room was seriously about to collapse. We didn’t find one, but I did find a couple books at the Homegoods store. I always end up buying something from there, I love it so much!

We just vegged out after we got back and did a really easy shrimp dinner; nothing fancy. And, we were in bed by 9:00pm because I had a headache and was exhausted from getting up at 8:00am (I know, sad)!

The best part about the day wasn’t actually my birthday, it was the day before. We went to a jeweler in the mall to look at engagement rings. Without either one of us knowing it, the conversation got pretty serious, and next thing we know, we’re in the diamond room looking at a diamond through a microscope. We were at the jewelers for over an hour and the guy put the ring on hold for us. We got home and talked and talked about everything engagement, and I found out that it is definitely going to be before January 1. Now you know why the day before my birthday is a day I’ll never forget!

I thought about doing a video like Jordan did, but when I made one it looked retarded. Maybe another time! Instead, I’ll post some pictures fresh off my camera:

Starting from the top left moving to the right and then down,

Me as we were driving back. Bored much?
Remy sleeps like this on the chair. Sometimes he looks out the window, too.
Romeo snuck into Hunter’s crate because apparently it looks extra comfy.
Gators are going to the BCS!
Tom and the dogs at the dog park
Me and some dirty pups that I call mine
A REALLY good picture of Tom!
Right before their dinner – can you tell they’re not very patient?
Remy while he’s waiting to be fed. “PLEASE??”

Break Time

My criminal law test went pretty well today. I don’t feel bad about it at all. I should get the grade back tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Totally not worried about it, though.

I have about an hour to study for my Private Security test (which is tomorrow) before I have to hop in the shower and prepare for my LSAT prep class, which is tonight from 6-10p. Then, I’ll probably come home and study a little more before I go to bed around 11. Lately I have not been getting nearly enough sleep, but I kind of enjoy being up a little later and getting more done. I have the rest of my life to sleep – that’s my logic, at least.

The Kentucky game is this weekend and I’m contemplating selling my ticket, but then again I might not, who knows. I kind of don’t want to go so I can just RELAX at home. It’s a 12:30p game, so no tailgating (way too early for alcohol) and I’ll be exhausted and unable to do anything for the rest of the day anyway. I’ll decide after I see where our seats are located in the stadium.

Speaking of tailgating, the LSU game ended up being pretty ridiculous. If there was an award for most drunk during a football game and it came with big football trophies, I can almost guarantee that I’d win it for the last game. I’m not going to go into any more detail, except to say that I am DONE with tequila. It gets you into trouble, that’s for sure.

I’ve still not heard anything from Dell. I can’t exactly say that I’m surprised because the level of service I’ve received in the last week has been anything but satisfactory. I mean yes, my laptop is functional, but if we’re paying for a warranty, things should get fixed not only in a timely manner, but also when Dell promises they will be fixed. I just sent an email off regarding the problem, so we’ll see what happens.

Back to studying for meee :)

I have not been feeling myself lately. Each morning, I wake up with a slightly stuffy nose and a sinus headache. I think it might be allergies; where we live now is a lot more dense because of trees. I’ve also been having a constant feeling of fatigue and upset stomach. It’s not nausea, it just hurts and hurts.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m the type of person who hops online when I am worried about a particular symptom I have. For instance, I was worried about PMS because well, let’s just put it this way – I’m a LOT bitchier than I normally am! According to a few web sites I’ve found, this could be due to low progesterone levels in my body. Honestly, though, I think it has to do with not getting enough sleep at night and being stressed about some issues that have been going on in my life lately.

Tonight I am going to get a really good night’s sleep and get a lot done tomorrow. I’m determined to stop feeling so crappy!
