The state I am in

Today was an awesome day. Yesterday was even better (it was sunny).

I still have the place to myself, Paul doesn't come home until tomorrow evening. I think it's hilarious that he completely forgot about this trip he and his dad were taking. I had no clue at all, until he left yesterday morning. So tonight is quiet again. But I've been keeping busy. Last night I straightened the place up a bit. Today I did laundry, tomorrow I'll do dishes. I planned on doing homework tonight... But Meggan asked if I wanted to come over so we could do it together, so it can wait until tomorrow.

Tonight I've already had two pieces of chocolate and a bowl of ice cream, chocolate syrup on top. Make me stop... I was supposed to give this stuff up with the old year. I've stayed away from soda. And I've given up most fast food... it's been about once a week (which is great considering the 7+ times/week before I left). Just from not eating out in three weeks, I lost ten pounds, and hit my goal weight. I haven't weighed that much since high school. And I was feeling good, but I haven't been very active lately, nor have I been eating very healthily. I don't own a scale, but I feel bleh. Time to start paying attention to what I do to my body again!

In other news, I got this little plant-thingy for Christmas. It's called an "Egg Plant," and it's a bean sprout inside of an egg... with a secret message printed on the plant once it sprouts! Amazing. I took it out of the box today, I think I'll start growing it. I wonder how they get the message on the leaf? Who on earth ever thought of such a thing?! A plant, growing inside an egg, with a secret message for you. Weird. (Oh, and don't worry, there's no white or yolk inside the egg. Just soil and a sprout. It's not that gross)

Bleh, I have been listening to Radiohead ALL DAY. I love it, and that's why I've left it on, but it really puts you in an odd mood. Time for something new... Alright, I just threw together a totally sweetus* 80s pop mix. Wooo! Too bad there haven't been any dance parties around for months... they went out of style with war manatees, apparently. Or maybe it has something to do with the fact that the good people of The Familiy keep moving away... Either way, I miss those days.

I was supposed to get new music last night, but there was something of a misunderstanding, so I'm left with nothing new. I can't even download anything properly, because any program I try to download for the acquiring of music has some sort of strange problem with me. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm open at this point, the regulars I use aren't accessible to me.

Hm, I'm really losing all my thought trains at this point. I think I'll throw in another load of laundry and call it a night.

Hope you're enjoying your night! Get some sleep, you! It's late.

*Sweetus = a word Paul made up. Ask him about it sometime. It's become a part of both of our vocabularies, unfortunately...
