Why can't I lose this weight and become thin and healthy

Why can't I lose this weight and become thin and healthy?

I don't know. I have been thinking about this dn I think all these people around me are losing, why can't I. What is it that they have that I don't. I am asking myself am I meant to be like this, overweight and unhealthy. Will I ever see my goal weight when all I can see is myself getting farther and farther from it. I am just so frustrated and pissed at myself for being like this.

Weight Loss Challenge Part 2

After this weekend I will have 2 days until I leave for Cali. Maybe I can start eating healthy when I am there but there a lot of good restaurants there. Also in Vegas. I'll have to make sure that I get in some exercise when I am there.

When I look in to the mirror I hate what I see and also when I look at myself in pictures I am ashamed of myself that I let myself get this way. No one can do this for me but myself.

My next weigh in this this Monday and I will see how I did.

Recipe: Fried Apples

When I was little my grandma used to make fried apples. It was really good. It was really simple to make. I think this is the recope but I will ask around and see who knows the exact recipe.

~ 8 medium apples - Core the apple then slice it.
~ Butter

BASIC CREPE BATTER
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp. melted butter

Sift the flour with the salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the egg and egg yolk. Pour in the milk slowly, stirring constantly and, when half is added, stir in the melted butter. Beat well until smooth. Add the remaining milk, cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using. The batter should be the consistency of light cream.

Dip the apple into the batter and place it in the pan and fry it until it is golden brown.

Weight Loss Challenge

Weight Loss takes a lot of time,determination, and focus. Along with that comes willpower.

What is wrong with me. I have gone up and down in weight and I have failed. I know it's easy when I don't try to stick to a program. It pisses me off that I used to stick to a program and never really gone the full way. If other people people can do it why can't I. I gotta figure out what I need to do so that I can stick to a healthy program. Maybe I need to learn how to eat healthy and get rid of my unhealthy ways. I gotta take it one step at a time and since I have school done with I can focus on this and learn healthy habits and start living a new life.

New Career to think about

Well I was thinking about what I enjoy doing. Well I love to write reviews for Restaurants, Reception Venues, etc....

I also want to write books on different subjects. Maybe I can write a book about my reviews. If I don't want to be in the Housekeeping/Custodial field. I need to find a career that I am good at and enjoy. Cleaning is ok but I need something that will make me happy.

W.K. Kellogg Manson

This is the W.K. Kellogg Manson. If you ever in western Michigan. I would recommend that you check it out and go for a free tour. The best time to go is in the summer. Check out the mansion grounds it is breath taking. Also check out the website. I provided a link in the heading.

Cali on my mind - 3 more days.

I have been giving a lot of thought about if I want to start my own business. I want to move to California and that is what I want the most is to move out there. Owning a business takes a lot of time and a lot of money. Now that I graduated and I have a trade I can get a really good job in and make good money. Then I am having second thoughts about that. The reason I took that is that it was a trade I was semi interested in I could get into and it was only 2 terms (6 months).

This day is almost over and I am gonna say that I only have 3 more days until I leave and I can't wait till I can leave all this behind for a week and focus on me and having fun. I will be posting pics when I get back. But what ever goes on in Vegas, stays in Vegas. This time I will be legal and ready to party.

California to Vegas

In 4 days I will be heading to California. I will be in California for 4 days. Then both of my sisters, my cousin Donna, sisters friends Jamie and Jennifer and I are spending 3 days in Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in the panorama suite. We are going clubbing at Planet Hollywood's night club at Prive. My sister said that her friend is friends with the manger we runs Prive. So we might be getting VIP service. I will be so stoked of that is what we will have. Who knows what Vegas has in store for me. I also want to eat at the Bellagio Buffet. I heard that its one of the best Buffets ever.

This will be a very busy week and a fun one to boot. The reason why I wanted to go to Vegas is to Celebrate my 30th. Since I spent my 30th at school I wanted to start off my my new age in Vegas where I can enjoy myself and have fun.

Oh California!!!

Horoscope for July 17, 2009

Your physical energy and enthusiasm are elevated as you approach yet a higher level of your material accomplishments. This could inspire you to channel most of your energy into more work - and to climb yet higher, Kristine. You might even be thinking in terms of expanding all your horizons - professional, intellectual, spiritual. Travel could also be in the offing. Consider all your options carefully. There might be too many choices to make an easy decision.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't believe that I am finally a graduate form MCTI and I am done. I don't have to go back there but I do miss seeing the people. 6 months of hard work. I hope I can get a good full time job with good benefits and good pay. That is my #1 goal. While I am looking for that job I have to focus on my health. For once I gotta focus on me. Making me happy and establishing a life for myself.

What I want form my life is to become successful at what ever I am meant to do. Also to move out to California. That is a major step I am working on.

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday

How do I say goodbye to what we hadThe good times that made us laughOutweigh the bad.I thought we'd get to see foreverBut forever's gone awayIt's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.I don't know where this roadIs going to leadAll I know is where we've beenAnd what we've been through.If we get to see tomorrowI hope it's worth all the waitIt's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.And I'll take with me the memoriesTo be my sunshine after the rainIt's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.And I'll take with me the memoriesTo be my sunshine after the rainIt's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday

Time to say Good-Bye

I know I have been lagging on my blogging. I have been busy with school and not I am done I have a lot more time to blog. I Graduate tomorrow and I am both happy and sad at the same time. I will miss everyone here but I am happy that I will be happy to go home for good and get ready for my trip to Cali/Vegas.

I will keep in touch with some of the friends that I have made here. The only thing I won't miss is the food, knock at the door of the bathroom and waiting for someone to get out so I can use it.

Like boys to men said in their song which was my class song in 1998. It's so hard ot say good-bye to yesterday.

~RIP Michael Jackson~ : 1958-2009

I came home from brunch and checked my facebook and Ercika said that the oxy clean guy died. His name was Billie Mays.

Now I am sitting online and watching and listening to VH1 classic. They are doing a tribute to him by playing his old music videos.. Even though I wasn't a fan of his I was a fan of his music.

~RIP Michael Jackson~ : 1958-2009

WOW!!!!

I have been slacking on my blogging but I have been really busy. I graduate in a week and 4 days. I am really gonna miss my friends at MCTI but I gotta go on with my life and get into the real world.

In the past 2 weeks. We have lost Ed Mcmahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. It was a sad sad day. Ed Mcmahon and Farrah Fawcett were sick but Michael Jackson I didn't see that one coming. Yes I cried. Why? I don't know. I am still shocked and still can't believe he is gone.

Feeling Good

It is such a beautiful day outside. I went by the lake with Kyle after brunch and Karina asked if we both wanted to go out on the pontoon for a ride and so we did. I loved it. Also I love when the sun goes on the water and it sparkles. I might go up to my cottage with my parents. I do miss being up there. It's calm and relaxing. I know that when I go up there that I will have to help my dad with some work outside since I am the only one here. I need to help out more.

I am getting excited for my Cali/Vegas trip next month. I am gonna need it. I hope I will be able to get a job in California and move out there to start a new life for myself. To be able to meet new people and make new friends. But for now I will have to get a job here in Michigan and get myself on my feet with a car of my own and enough money to move out there. With the skills that I have I can get a really good paying job. I know how much moeny to have enough to move out there.

Things are changing

Ok. Things are going great and it's almost time for me to Graduate. I am gonna miss laughing in class at Big Jon's jokes. Its a family but a weird family but I will miss them. A while ago after I liked Jeff. I thought that this guy named Will was cute but the thing I think he is 20 years old but age is just a number. I know it will never workout. I never talk to him. I might have mentioned it before in a earlier blog but hey it's nice to look at him and when I will ever see him again. He is also a lifeguard and he looks hott in shorts.

Ozzie did a awesome job blocking the puck. He is the man. He in one of my # 1 Favorite players. Even though he is a goalie he keeps the opposite team from scoring. Another Favorite Player is Juri Hudler.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals

GO WINGS!!!!!

Well the Red Wings are in the Stanely Cup Finals and tonight is game one and I am so excited that I will be able to watch it. They are againist The Pittsburg Penguins. The team we won against to last year. If we won against them last year we can do it again cause we are Hockeytown and we can do it again.

We have home advanage for the first 2 games then it's 2 over there. They are allowed to lose 1 game and that is away from home. I want them to win it here so they can have the home advantage and celebrate with the fans here in Hockeytown.

Tragedy at MCTI

We had a tragedy happen here at MCTI. A boy by the name of William Beals passed away. He had a seasure and downed in the pool. They were working on him until they got to the hospital and he passed away there. They put up a memorial poster with his picture and if you wanted to put words. They also put 3 roses on that poster and 2 roses by the pool.

I had seem him a few times. Since my dorm room is close by the CSA classroom.

Achieving goals that are making my dreams come true.

Today Horoscope: There is a tremendous discipline to your way of thinking that is helping you make advancements toward your goals. Don't expect that you will solve every problem right away, but keep in mind that you will be able to sort through issues much more clearly and efficiently. Once you have things fleshed out sufficiently, you will find it easier to put the pieces back together again. Stay detached from situations instead of becoming emotionally involved.

While I am here in school I am achieving my goals and also working on bettering myself. Mr D. told me I am doing good at cleaning it's just that I need to be a little bit more bossier. I am also working on my multipliction tables.

I am trying to lose weight too. I am making a deal with myslef. I need to stay away from the deserts and when I get to vegas I can pig out.

At least 240 by then. I know that if I start losing weight I will have more energy and cleaning will be alot easier.

I hope that I am meant to have my own cleaing business. I am spending so much time into ideas for my business but I will have to just wait and see what my life will take me.

Beauty Pagent Dream

Your horoscope for April 26, 2009

Today is a fantastic day for you, Kristine, so enjoy yourself fully. Your emotions will be stable and you will find that you have a very expansive sense of well-being. Your self-confidence is strong and you should use this to your advantage. This energy may be subtle, but if you tune in to it early in the day and set a plan for what you want to get accomplished, you will find that you can be very productive.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had woken up at 5:30 am for some reason then after I watch some TV and then went back to sleep again. I had a weird dream. I was in a Miss Michigan Beauty Pagent. At first I was getting rady and I had told some guy that I was worried about how I looked. I was over weight and concerd what everyone might think. Then when I was up on stage I actually saw myself getting called down to be part of the lucky 15. I never finished my dream so I will never know how l did.

Here is what the dream meant: To watch or dream that you are in a beauty pageant, refers to your own insecurities about your appearances. You are constantly comparing yourself to others and how you measure up to them. You may also be subscribing to society's standards of beauty.

This is so true. I am concerend about my weight. I have having a hard time losing weight but right now I am so focused on school cause that is the most important thing I need to focus on. First is my career and then weight loss.

Can't seem to get back in a routine

I can't seem to get back in a routine that will get me back on track. It's hard cause I am up at school for another 3 monthis and the most I have lost is 5 lbs but not I gotta try to get back into the gym here at school. It sucks but it will have to go. I miss my gym at home not a lot of eye candy to keep me from going to go work out.

I need to lose some weight for Vegas at the end of July my sister is giving me a free trip for my 3oth Birthday.

I just turned 30 on the 22 of this month. I don't feel any differnet but me being 30 hasn't sunk in yet.

Confidence leads to Inspiration

My horoscope for April 25, 2009

"Inspiration" is the keyword for today, Kristine. You may be feeling highly motivated to move on with what others may consider impossible dreams. Impossibility has never stopped you before, and you're not likely to let it stop you now. Instead, you are more likely to consider all contingencies carefully and practically in order to make them work. Friends could be inspired by your vision and determination, and follow your example. Go for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since I last blooged. I have tuned 30 and it hasn't sunk in yet but it's a new age bracket. I hope that means that new and exciting things will start happening. I am almost done with my 1st term. I only have a week and 3 days. I go home on May 6th and don't come back until the 12th. Then I will start my 2nd term and last term.

Since my first time I came here. I have become more confident and sure that my future will not be like the past. I am excited to be going into my 2nd term and seeing what 1st term will be like towards us.

I still am thinking about starting my own cleaning business. I have done a lot of research and the more I think about it the more I am sure I need to learn everything I need to start my own business.

I had some weird dreams list night about me having a baby and breastfeeding it. Here it what it says about it.....


Baby - To see a baby in your dream, signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies symbolize something in your own inner nature that is pure, vulnerable, helpless and/or uncorrupted. If you find a baby in your dream, then it suggests that you have acknowledged your hidden potential. If you dream that you forgot you had a baby, then it suggests that you are trying hide your own vulnerabilities; You do not want to let others know of your weaknesses

Breast Feeding - To dream that you are breast feeding, symbolizes tenderness, love, nurturance, and motherly love. Good things will be at your grasp. Alternatively, the dream suggests that you need to be careful in who you confide in.

Back on Track

I am back on track and taking little steps to changing my bad habit lifestyle. I am trying to put new and healthy changes in my life that will be with me forever.

I have already don't eat hot dogs,Veal, and Taco Bell. I mostly drink water but on every once in a while I will have some diet pop and when I want it I have1 can of regular pop. I hardly ever snack but I need to at least have 1 snack a day to keep my hunger in check.

Turn for the worst

This week has not been very good. It's nice and relaxing to be at home and see family and friends but the past couple days have been not good. My Aunt Anna had fallen down and broke her hip bone. She was doing fine but today when my mom called she had taken a turn for the worst. They sent her to the ICU in the Cardic Unit. She was having a hard time breathing. So I will be going to the hospital to see her. Right now my other Aunt Anna is there. My mom is taking a half day so we can go see her. I don't need another death in the family. It's been a year and a month since my grandma passed away. I have so much going for me. I haven't been happy like this for a long time and it will break my heart if my Aunt passes away. So I am hoping and praying she can pull through this.

I feel loved

Well after I bitched on here about my last post. Sarah called me back and said that it was ok to come over at any time. I went. Spent some time with them. Then Tom and Tim came by and they wanted to see if I still wanted to go to Sonic with them and I did. SO I am not a Sonic virgin anymore. It was good. I had a double cheeseburger with fries and a shake.Their pineapple shake is sooo good. Then after we went by Sarah and Elliot's again. They stayed a few and then left. I was feeding Ariana and Amanda and Rob came over. I wanted to go with Tim and Tom.

I feel loved that all my friends want to spend time with me. I am gonna try to hang out the Angela tomorrow before I go with Tom to church. I still want to hang out with my other friend Sara too and maybe Tiffany.

Venting: PISSED!!!

Tom pisses me off. I called him to see if he still wanted to do something and it sounded like he didn't' care. He was the one that wanted to do something. I already seen him and I don't care if I see him again until I came back home in 4 weeks. Also another friend that pisses me off is my so called friend Sarah. I called her on both my home phone and my cell and once again she never picks the phone when I call so I am saying SCREW IT, I don't care anymore about them. They never call me or answer my calls so that means they don't want to be friends. I am sick of people like this. They only want to invite me to things so that they can call me a friend and get a gift. Well no more. I don't need that shit in my life. I can't stand people like this.

Weird Dream

I had this weird dream last night. It was of me winning all this money. I had $100 and $50 dollar bills in my hand and then somehow my went everywhere and I was trying to pick them up and people in my class were picking them up.I got worried and told them to stop. I was taking the money out of their hands.

Here is what dreammoods.com says.......To dream that you lose money, signifies temporary unhappiness in the home and a few setbacks in your affairs. You may be feeling weak, vulnerable, and out of control in your waking life. Additionally, you may be lacking ambition, power and self-esteem.

I just don't understand why I had this dream. I am at school learning a trade that will be a stepping stone for my future. I am happy that I am doing this but the unhappiness part is that I have to be away from home for another 13 weeks.

I can't wait till I am done with school then after this week I have 4 weeks until 1st semester. Then 5 days to come back home and then after that I have the start of the 2nd semester. I am hoping it goes by fast. I just want to get done, graduate and find a job. I know I should enjoy the process but I hate being away from home.

So I am ready for the next 4 weeks and hoping those weeks will fly by fast just like the 6 weeks did.

Last Saturday I went to church with my parents and I seen a surprise. It was Tom. I didn't expect to see him but I did. Then when church got out he asked me what I was doing and I told him jsut gonna be watching the Final 4 game. He then asked me if I wanted to go grab dinner and then watch the game at his cousins house. I went and long story short. Tom had a few shots and a beer. That was at Randy's house and then as the time went on. they all went over to Bob's. Then Tom asked me if he could get a kiss and that totally caught me off guard. Then at the end of the night when I was in my bed he called and we talked and when he let me go he said good-bye and I Love you and so did I. I was too tired to catch myself. I am confused.

I weighed myself a couple days ago and I saw a surprise. I actually lost weight. I went from 262 when I weighted myself at school and then at home I was 257. YAY that is a 5 lb weight loss. I was happy to see that number on the scale. I haven't seen that number in a while and I am glad that I am back in the 250's but now my next goal is to be in the 240's.

At home

It feels so good to be back home. I can now relax and not think about school. I don't miss it and that is a good thing. I have been away from home for 6 weeks and then after break I am gonna be gone for another 4 weeks and then come back home again for about a week and then 2nd term starts and I will be gone for another 4 weeks until I will can come back again and after that I will have another 4 weeks and when I come home again in July it will be for good.

I go back on Sunday which is Easter and we are going over my Uncle Adam's house which I will see my new baby cousin Alicia.

I will be leaving tomorrow and I am so excited. I get to go on my first train ride and after being here for 6 weeks with going home I am gonna need this coming week to relax and not think about school but spend time with my family and friends.

Right now I am on Joy's labtop and I am updating quickly before dinner. I will be updating after dinner.

I can't belive that after break I will have 4 weeks here and then I will start my 2nd term.

I have 2 more days until I get to go home. I am so excited all I am gonna be doing is relaxing and spending time with my family and friends. It will feel good to finally sleep in my own bed with out Joy talking or walking in her sleep. I will be going on the train for the first time in my life. I will be giong with Joy since she will be getting off ahead of me.

I will be busy when I get home but I will also spend some time by self.

3 more Days

I am sooo excited that I will be going home in 3 more days and then I have 2 more days of classes. We are going over to my Aunt and Uncles house for Easter and I am happy we are cause I will be seeing my new little cousin.

After break I will have 4 weeks until I am in 2nd term and it's the countdown to Graduation.

80's Memories Part 2

I remember all sorts of "mint" stuff from the 80's. We had the best stuff like

• cabbage patch kids
• rainbow brite
• my little pony
• hugga bunch
• Lite brite
• strawberry shortcake
• care bears
• smurfs
• He man
• She-RA
• Teddy Rusbin
• Thunder Cats
• Facts of Life
• Different Strokes
• garbage pail kids
• charm necklaces (clipped onto plastic necklaces)
• The Incredible Hulk
• Night rider
• Punky Bruster
• The Greatest American Hero
• THE MUPPET SHOW
• Movies: Sixteen candles, Dirty Dancing, the Goonies, Neverending Story, The Karate Kid.( I thought Ralph Macchio was soooo cute!) I remember the clothes fondly too. Champion sweatshirts, and three layers of socks!, tight rolled up jeans, Benneton. I think, the thing I miss the most from the 80's is being so young. I didn't have a care in the world and I enjoyed everything. There was just enough technology to have fun (like nintendo) but not too much, so we could still use our imaginations. Like Digging for gold in the backyard sandbox, or spending the afternoon way up in a tree. Life was simple then, probably because I was young, but I will never forget how much fun I had.

80's Memories

I was just thinking about my childhood and all the funI used to have and the rhymjes I have learned. Such as these I used to say when I was a little girl and then find it on this website....

Horoscope for March 28, 2009

Today is an excellent day for you to say exactly how you feel, Kristine. Your thinking is sharp and clear. You will find that once you start talking, you may never stop. People will listen extra carefully to your words today. You have a great deal of influence on other people, so realize how much impact you are having on the environment around you. You will be able to accomplish a great deal.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All I can say is that I am able to accomplisheh a lot today. I have a pretty busy week a head of me.

3 day weekend

I found out yesterday that Jeff left the custodial program on Monday, Yes I was heart broken cause I won't be able to see him everyday but at least I know that it was never meant to be. So I am now just moving on and enjoying my time here and I have no class tomorrow and that means a 3 day weekend. Patty, Dawn, and Jenny will be leaving tomorrow. Jenny for good but Dawn and Patty will be back. Patty will be back in May when I will be starting 2nd Term and she will be in 1st and that sucks that is happening but I will at least see her again.

Right now I am doing my laundry. Waiting for the washer to get done. I will be going shopping again this saturday to get a few things. I have Spring Break right around the corner. I leave next week Friday and I am oh so excited. I get to be home for a week in my own bed, on my own computer, eating what ever I want. Then after Spring Break I will have 4 weeks until this Term in done and I will be going on to 2nd Term.

I can not wait till I go home.I am gonna need to get away from here. I ahve been here since I came here in Feburary and being home will help me requivate myself even though I will miss seeing Jeff.n I miss my friends and my room.

I hadn't seen him today. He must be really sick. I hope he feels better tomorrow. I am having my review tomorrow to see how I have been doing these 5 weeks that I have been here.

So Confused

Horoscope for March 22, 2009

Be open and communicative about your feelings today, Kristine. Everyone may find it easy to share a fact or piece of concrete information. The challenge is to be able to share something from your heart, as opposed to something from your head. Don't think that feelings always need to be kept secret. In fact, just the opposite is true. Make sure you leave channels open for emotional expression at this time.

Yesterday as I waiting for the van I saw Jeff go to the smoking hut to smoke and that made me happy when I saw him when I was in the van he was walking back with a girl and he was talking to her that is when I got sad and my jelously comes into place. I don't know what to do anymore if I should keep on pursing to see if he likes me or just forget about it. I am so confused.

Liking it more each and every day.

My feelings for Jeff are so so. I still think hes cute and all but the thing is that I don't think he has the same feelings for me but Patty is going to ask him if there is anyone he likes in our class then I will finally have my answer.

I am so looking forward to going home for Spring Break. I have a week and 4 days until I am home for a week. I miss my bed and my parents not so much and also my friends.

I am making a lot of new memories here and a lot more friends like Flo and Patty, Jenny, Matt and Dawn. When I first came here I was a loner. I sat by myslef and now I am sitting with people and making conversation. Yes I will miss it here when I leave but I hope I can make it to 2nd Term so I can spend more time with Flo and Patty if they make it.

Update

I haven't been on here for a while. Just a quick update. I have been sice since yesterday. Then on friday my class along with 2nd Term Cusidal had this exersice that if we wanted we could walk across this high rise thigng. I didn't do it but after that we played this game where we formed 2 groups and I was on a group with Flo and Jeff. When I ran the first time I didn't get hit but the second time I did and so did. But the first time I ran I made it through and so did Jeff but when I was running back from the chair I almost ran into Jeff and after he was done he made a commet to me and said you thought I was gonna run into you and I said yes. Then when I went for the 2nd time I got hit my Greg and so did Jeff. He then came and sat by me.

Yesterday I went on the Shopping Trip and so did Jeff. He was the only one that went to Meijers and when the Van went to go pick him up and all he had was a Mountian Dew.

Disapointed

There is a guy in my class that I think it cute and I like well it seems that since today he didn't sit by me today. Ever since class started he had sat by me and I prayed to GOD that he would give me a sign and today was it. So I am now focusing on my career and getting my butt out to California.

Quick Update

I start a whole new week this week. I have 4 more weeks until Spring Break. I have been doing a lot of reading and working on my poems. I will be typing them out when I get home. This weekend has been easy. I did my lanudry this morning after Brunch and then when I get back to my room I will be reading more. I will try to update every day with what is going on with me.

Quick Update

Ok I am offically at MCTI and I know it's been a while since I last updated. I have been busy with school things and stuff. I am relived that I am finally doing something with my life. I have the whole month of March to be here and then on April 2nd I leave for home for a week and then it's back to school. I will be going on my first train ride and kinda looking foreward to it. Well I will try to update more since I have a password to the computer lab and I will take advantage of it.

I have been doing a lot of reading and soul searching since I have been here and since this coming week will be different from my first week which was pretty busy. I will be getting more into school work. I will be doing a lot of studying once I get more into the term.

One more day

I can't believe the day is finally here and soon I will be on my way to MCTI and a better future. Time flies by so fast and it seems that it was only yesterday that I met with Sarah and I broke down and then after I have been waiting the day to come and soon it will be here.

Tomorrow I have to fianalized everything and make sure I have everything I need to take with me. I just can't wait till I finally start and see where my life takes me.

My day

I spent the day with Tom. I went to church with him and then we came back here to relax. Were waiting for a call from Matt to see when he wanted to out to dinner with us. Then we went to dinner at 6:30. Went to a new place in downtown Utica called Shamrocks. I never went there but Tom and Matt did. Anyways, every time I am with Tom, every now and then he talks dirty to me. Like for example we were talking on the phone and he was singing get o tof your clothes and into my car and yes he really said this to me and he is supposed to be going into the priesthood. He told me that he wanted to get that out of his system and he still makes those kids of comments to me. He isn't going back into the semary until the fall. By then I hope to have a guy I am dating.

It's easy to give up when you don't even try

I always take the easy way out and I always give up. How the hell am I ever gonna learn anything if I don't even try. This goes for learning the guitar. If I want something bad enough I have to keep focus and try my best until I succeed.

MCTI is my stepping stone to bigger and better things and I have to do what to takes to get where I want to go I have work hard and that is what I have to do. I know what God will help guide me through out my life and lead me to the right direction.

I have 4 more days until I leave. I am almost ready to move out there for 6 months and learn all I can that will help me graduate so that I can get a decent job rather than working retail.

I see what I was telling myself in my friend Angela. She is in the same boat I am until I made the decision to move on to another boat that will take me to another direction in my life. I will never be in the boat again.

Wanting/Needing/ and Saving

There is a difference between wanting something and needing something. It's simple just look at the word wanting.

• Wanting something like that diamond necklace that you can't afford but really want it but you don't really need but want it anyway.
  
• Then needing something is that thing that you need in life like everyday necessities like Shampoo.

I lot of people when they get money they instantly want to spend it. Then that is when you have to think about the situation. That urge tells you to go shopping but the real thing is that you need to be saving it. Example: The urge is telling you that now that you have the money you have to go get that things that you have been wanting. It's not gonna kill you if you don't get it. Once you get it and you ask yourself did I really need to spend that much money and do I really need it. It's ok to spend the money on something you have been working hard ot get. Like if you lose 100 lbs and that is when you can spend that money on that special something you want.

Another Dream about my Grandma

I had a dream last night and I was at a house. I don't know if it was my house but I was in my bedroom. It was a new house and we had people come by to look at it kind alike a open house. Towards the end of my dream before I woke up I was in my room and and my grandma comes in my room. She had a smile on her face. This was like my 6th dream about her. I do miss her but I know that every time I dream about her she is smiling. My mom tells me that when she is smiling means that she isn't suffering.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is my dream dress. Its from Platinum for Priscilla of Boston. It's a very expensive dress that costs $5,000 and up. Strapless gown with beaded pearl bodice, full A-line front, 3-tiered embroidered train. Available in Ivory Silk Satin and White Silk Satin.

I don't care about the price all I care about is that I found the dress that will make me looking beautiful and that will beat Amanda's (my ex's wife) wedding dress. You can't see the bottom but only a little. All of their gown are hand swen and I love how the bodice, skirt, and train of the gown has a lot of beading to it.

Countdown : 6 days to go

I can't believe it that i have 6 more days to go until leave for MCTI. I am a little excited. I know that by going I will have a happier life. I just want to start so I can get finished and start looking for a job and start living my life. When Tuesday come I will be counting down to days till I graduate.

Yesterday I was talking to my mom on the phone while she was at work. I was telling her that once I get a job I will be saving for a car. She then is always negative and says that why don't you wait until we get a another car and we will give you the Mercury Sable and you can pay the insurance on that. I want my own car that I can pick out and my mom won't have any say so. I am 30 years old and my mom it still over protected of me. What I am trying to do is make my own decisions but have all this negative energy coming at me.

I can't wait till I have my life under my control with out my mom and dad having any say so.

Amazing

Horoscope for February 13, 2009

In spite of your feelings to the contrary, you are bound to be successful. It is likely that you are involved in some sort of group project that is requiring a lot of time and effort of you. All indications are that those efforts will pay off shortly. Continue to work those long hours, even if it means pulling an all-nighter or two. In just a few months time you will have caught up on your sleep and will be rolling in the money.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I saw this I knew my future was on the right track. I has a weird dream last night, I was playing a slot game at a hotel lobby. I was next to Kara (Jeana's daughter from the real house wife's of Orange Country). This was my second dream that I had of her that she was in it. I guess I was friends with her. Anyways, I had won over 2,000 dollars but what happened was the women came and I couldn't find my purse and then my mom came and told me that my purse was in the hotel room. Then after I woke up so I don't know what would of happened after.

Then I went on dreammoods.com and looked for money and this is what it says......

• To see or win money in your dream, symbolizes that success and prosperity is within your reach. Money may represent confidence, self-worth, success, or values. You have much belief in yourself. Alternatively, dreaming about money, refers to your attitudes about love and matters of the heart. It is frequently a symbol for sexuality and power. In particular, finding money indicates your quest for love or for power.

This makes me happy to know that in the future I will be seeing successs and that I have been wanting for a long time and I can't wait will I finally see my dreams coming true. All I want is to be successful and make a lot of money to where I can buy things I want and still not have to worry about if I have enough in the bank.

I'm freaking out

I was watching the Clean House on Style Network and when it was finished it was Dress my Nest and I heard a name I recognized and she said she was from Michigan and yes it was her it was Angie Greenup. She hasn't changed at all. I guess she now lives in California. I guess she was on The Price is right and she won some furniture on the showcase showdown and she hates and wanted Thom (from Queer Eye for the straight guy) to fix her house up. She owns a company called So Cal Booty Camp.

Wedding Reviewer Part 2

I was thinking that once I have money rolling in and I have a car of my own that I will be trying out the !st place to 5th place and seeing if these Wedding vendors are the best in Metro Detroit. I know that I can't right away book a Venue but I will try my best to get other brides reviews. I will be reviewing......

• Bakers
• Photographers
  

Update

Last Friday My parents,sister, and I went to my old neighborhood. I didn't want to go back but I had no other choice. It's hard to go back to my past to where I grew up but in the end I was ok with it. My grandmas old house and the ones and the 2 my parents used to own are all owned by Mexicans who are fixing it up. I am glad to see that they aren't ruined.

Then Last night I was on my phone checking Facebook and my ex-boyfriends wife posted some of her wedding pictures. I never thought I would ever see them but I am kinda glad that I did.I will be having a much better and more expensive wedding than theirs. The Wedding pictures turned out crappy, the cake looked horrible and not to mention she only had a Maid of Honor and one Bridesmaid. Her Dress and the bridesmaids dresses looked ugly and the flowers were also ugly. She has no style or class even though she pretends too.

I will have all the best vendors that I can afford and it will all be put together beautify.

My Horoscope

My Horoscope for February 5, 2009

If you have had a long-standing interest in film or photography, today would be a good day to explore that interest further, Kristine. You will likely receive an opportunity to learn some of the intricacies of the craft. And who knows, maybe you will decide to go into the business on a professional basis. If indeed this is your true love, you should find a way to incorporate it into your life in whatever way possible.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have so many dreams and one of them is to get into photography. I want to buy myself a professional camera and learn how to take really good photographs. It's a hobby so I don't care if it doesn't turn into something professional.

I am still tying to figure out if my dream of becoming a Massage Therapist is still alive deep inside of me. I have a lot to focus on. To my #1 focus at MCTI and finding a job after I graduate to really think about what i really want out of my life.

A Really Good Dream

I just had a really good dream last night. It all started when my family and I went over my cosin Thresa's house. I didn't see Rob my cousins husband and my dad but it had her sons TJ an drew. We were sitting at the table eating dinner then after it went to me making out with a guy. I don't remmebber his name though. I think it was Dave but anyways when we were leaving and I kissed and hudgged my cousin good-bye she told me that I had a glow to my face. Then my dream turned to me at home on the computer with my friend Tom behimd me. He saw that I hs some persoal ads through my e-mail and I don't remember what he said. Then at he end and the greatest part is that I got married. It was was some glitsy hollywood banquet area. It looked awesome. I was in the womans room to where the bride and other woman could do their thing. I hung up my dress like it was a showing at a meusum. I looked up and there was my cosun Janae and Kim Kardashian congrating me. By them I had already changed and I walked back to my seat. You think that I would of sat by my husband but I was sitting my mom mom and dad. I don't know where my sisters were or by that fact my husband. As I was getting my slef comfortable I look up and it was Khole Kardashian. I got up to give her a hug. She said to me hi my bestfriend congratualtions then we hugged. Then I woke up.

Wow! Now that was a good dream. I hope when I move to California I will get the chance to meet some celebrities and become friends with them.

21 more days

I will be studying my ass off to be able to pass my classes so I can graduate in 6 months I can't believe that days are getting closer and I just can't wait to start and be finished with MCTI. I just want my life to start. To start working and saving money so I can buy my own car.. This will be a good experience for me knowing that it is like to live in a dorm like my sisters experienced.

The countdown

The countdown is on and I am excited. I am finally gonna be doing something with my life. MCTI is just a stepping stone to bigger and better things. I don't want to go but its something I have to do in order for me to be successful in my life. I leave on February 24th and my first day is February 25th. Then I am in school through July. On July 11th I graduate. Then when I arrive at home the next ay my first call will be to Sarah telling her I am ready for my process to finding a good full time job.

I want to go to Poland, Prague and Budapest with my sister on Aug 27 to Sept 14 but I dont know if I I'll be able to go but I'll have to wait and see.

New Career

I wanna start a new career in the wedding industry. I think I would call it Wedding Reviewer Since I love weddings so much/ I wanna have a website were bides can go to like the knot but I want to be the main source for brides. Such as the best of the best Brides can e-mail me their vendor reviews and based on the most of good reviews on a grading scale. I will start of with the Best of the Best of Metro Detroit.

I will have reviews on the best

• Reception Venue
• Photographer
  
• Videographer
• Baker
• and many more......

I will be there for the bride. I also want to able to work with the vendor somehow. Have them tell me what they offer and I can put it on my site and I will post the bride reviews along with that Vendor.

Process to MCTI

I already accomplished a goal on my list and that was attend MCTI since I am leaving in 24 days. I already marked that off.

• ~ Attend MCTI (Accomplish Date :February 24, 2009)

During school my main focus is to study hard to get good grades in order for me to go to my next step and that step is to graduate.

Then the next step is to find a full time job and once I do that save enough money to put a down payment on a used car. For that I am going to my cousin. He is a used car manager. I rather go to him and give him the commission rather than someone I don't trust and give him the commission on my sale.

Staying Positive

I am so fortunate that I have a family and friends I love. I have done the things I wanted to do so far and still need goals to accomplish. I believe that I can do anything I can put my mind too. Soon my life will be changing and I'll have job and then soon I will get a car.

Failure is not a option anymore. I have to do anything I can to get myself on track to a life of my own and block out the negative people and thoughs in my life and I gotta keep on reaching my goals.

The Biggest Loser

When I watch the Biggest Loser. I get motivated to workout and get healthy. I love this show and I thought I would want to be on it but after 7 seasons of watching it. they put the contestants to hell. they really lose a large amount of weight in a small period of time. I am lucky to lose 2 lbs. I have to work hard at exercising and eating healthy.

Looking Forward

I can't wait till I am finished with MCTI then I will be on my way on to establishing my life. On to bigger and better things.

On to bigger and better things

I can't wait till I am finished with MCTI then I will be on my way on to establishing my life. Once I get a job then I can check off that off my list then I can focus on saving money for a car after that I have to start saving to move out maybe even into a apartment or even better yet to move to California. I will be able to buy my own groceries, go to my own church and be able to support it. I also want to learn how to cook healthy for me and my parents. Plus it will save me money and also I am sick of always going out to eat.

I was talking to Tom yesterday and he was telling me that he went to Assumption Grotto and after he was helping out with the pancake breakfast. He was playing basketball with some 10 year old boys and he told me that he would be a great father and I said priest and he said no a dad. So I don't know why he said that. I just hope that he will be able to follow through into the priest hood. I have given up on him and on to bigger and better things. I will support him either way and I hope he goes through this.

My Priorities

I have a lot of priorities to focus on and my first one is my career and to get to my career I have to go through MCTI study hard and graduate and then after my priorities come into focus.

1. career
2. weight loss
3. buying a car

I just want to establish a carrer so that I know I am doing something with my life. Im not a loser just sitting at home and not doing nothing. I also don't want to be living at my parents house.

Poland, Prague, and Budapest

I want to go to Poland, Prague, and Budapest with my sisters, cousins and some of her friends. By then I would be done with school and that ends on July 11. They are leaving on Aug 27 and staying till Sept 14. I hope to have a full time job and start working so I will have a little money for myself. I really want to go and I hope I can borrow some money from my mom and sister. Once I start working I can pay it back. I would like to travel to some other county other than Canada. If I am not able to go then it wasn't meant to be. I will be able to go one day.

~Why I want to move to California~

When I leave Michigan to visit California I’m happy to step off the plane, get my luggage and out of the airport. To smell the California air, feel it on my skin. Then Angie comes to pick me up, I get in the car & glance around LAX airport as Angie heads to her apartment, I look at everyone living their lives, Then I stay for awhile and enjoy myself, then it’s time for me to leave to go back home, my sister takes me back to the airport, I say good -bye, I am sad and I feel like crying, as I leave to wait for my plane I get tears in my eyes, then I board the plane, about 4 hours later I get off the plane, step into the Michigan air, feel the Michigan air, My mom picks me up and then it’s HOME! But…..I do miss California when I am not visiting.

I want my new home to be California. It will be good for me to move here. It's a fresh start in my life with a new state and a new atmosphere. I make new friends and drive in the California traffic and live my life as a Califorian. I can't wait to finally move and start a new chapter in my life.

I will be back to Michigan to visit that is for sure cause my family and friends are here. I just need a new life and that is why I want to move to California.

I need a new life. Away from my past and I need to make new memories. Since 2008 my younger sister Patricia, Neha and Rich (my older sisters friends), and Keri (my younger sister friend) have moved there and soon rich will be there. It is a bad time in Michigan with may people losing their job and moving out of state to find work.

When I read this it put a smile on my face and what it said it was true caue I did wake up feeling happy and enthusiastic. I know that I can achieve what ever I can set my mind to and I hope to have success in whatever career I am supposed to do and with school I will be going on February 24th. Then comes my personal life I know I am succeeding. I am setting focus on my goals and I am seeing them accomplished. There comes love, well I am not focusing on that right now and I am just wait till he comes and finds me. I have more important things to think about then finding a guy in my life. If I meet someone with out even expecting it then it will be good. I believe that things happen for a reason and there is a time a place when things happen for you.

The East Coast to the West Coast

I can't stop thinking about how my future how much better it will be with me going to MCTI and after when I graduate, It will be hell living in a dorn and I have to study hard and focus on my studies. I can not wait until I save enough money to move out of Michigan and to California.

I love watching shows that on TV and I see LA. Its like awww I so can not wait till I will be able to finally know that for sure I will be moving out there when I get a apartment. My older sister is looking for a condo and it would be night to move in with her until I can get my feet on the ground but I want to show everyone I can do it on my own without no one helping me just like it was in the past until now.

Closer to California

It's 50 percent official. I finally got my packet from MCTI. When I go and register then that is when it will be 100 percent. I am so excited cause all I want is to go to that school and then graduate and finally get a full time job and start making money so I can start saving it. Then I can buy a car of my own and go anywhere I want to go.

I leave MCTI on February 23rd and start class the next day. I have a lot to do before then to get ready and packed. Then in between I will come home a couple times and then on May 15th is registration for the summer term ans that will go through July 10 and then I graduate on July 11th.

I an getting closer to moving out of Michigan and to California. I can not wait till that day when I can say goodbye to MI and hello to CA. Leaving the East coast to the West Coast. It will be an end of a chapter in my life and a start of a new one.

Staying Focused

I weighted myself today and I lost 3 lbs which is good but not cause the last time I weighted myself I was 265 and now I am 262. I have to be back below 259. I have to keep focused and watch what I eat and exercise. I exercised a little yesterday an I also exercised today. Shoveled the snow they plowed on the driveway and I also did some weights. I still have more to do on my stability ball but I will do them tonight.

All I want

1. In my life all I want is to establish a career which I am focusing on.
2. Weight loss in which I am struggling with but tiring to work on.
3. Love, well love can wait. I have more important things to focus on than finding love.

I have made my decision and I am sticking to it

My Horoscope for January 19, 2009

A deep and intimate conversation could take place today between you and a romantic interest, Kristine. If this is officially only a casual relationship, it may suddenly become more. If you're involved but not committed, an understanding could be reached. If you're already committed, there may even be talk of marriage. The end result of this conversation should be, needless to say, happiness for both of you. Celebrate tonight at home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOW!!! All I can say this is so off. I don't have a love at this time cause I am too busy focusing on me. My first priority in my life is to establish a career and then get a car of my own and then to get the hell out of my parents house and in to a apartment of my own. Then in the near future I want move out of Michigan and to California.

Tom is on his journey into the priesthood and I am supporting him on his decision. If something happens when he decides that the priest hood isn't for him and he tells me that he has feelings for me then by then I will long gone. I have made my decision and I am sticking to it. By that I am a lot more happier.

I also a few weeks ago and 2 nights ago. I had another dream about my grandma. A few weeks ago we were downstairs in her old bacement and then 2 nights ago I was in her old house in the living room I was hugging her and she was laughing and happy. I miss her but I am happy that she is in a bette place where she won't have to suffer anymore. I will see her when my time has come and that will be a long time. I will always think of her and she will always be with me in my heart and she will be with me on my wedding day. I will have a meery frame on my bouguet and I will walk down the aisle with her rosery as my something old.

Looking back

I am so happy that Talia and I are friends again. I missed her so much. I forget how funny she is and I love that she can make me laugh. Back in 2004 we ended our friendship over something stupid and she told me she also missed me and it good to know that I have her back in my life. Also Talis's mom told her that it was about time her and I were friends again. I also missed Karina and Dave and all the gang. We had so much fun together in the past and it sucks that Talia is now in Louisiana but I can always see her when she comes to visit. We both forgave and forget about the past that was bad and we can never forget the good times we had and oh did we have them. Those memories is what I had thought about before I seen Talia.

When she was in town during Christmas I am glad that I met with her and I got to see Karina,Dave, and Trina. Now the one other person I wish I was in good terms with is Annemarie. I did see her that day I seen Talia but maybe one day I hope we can rekindle our friendship but all I have to do is wait until something comes up. It was my fault that we aren't friends anymore. I was a bitch. I am hoping that I can have enough courage to write her and apologize for what I said 4 years ago. I would like to see if we can become friends again is she wants to and if she doesn't then it will be ok then at least I know what she thinks.

Diet Plans

I was thinking that once I get a full time job and get myself working and established that I will be able to buy my own grocery's. I was thinking about trying NutriSystem, I think it's cheaper than Jenny Craig and I have heard the pros and cons to the diet system. So I will maybe try it when I get the money.

1. Take your Vitmins
2. Drink Water
3. Eat on hour before and right after you exercise

No Support

I am so pissed that the MCTI packet hasn't come in yet and it's already Saturday. I'll have to wait until later until the mail comes. Well anyways, I started looking for a job already and I have been looking forward to that packet cause by that I am close to seeing a brighter future.

The way I am now is because of my parents. I blame them for not supporting my dreams. They never believed in me and that is why I am 29 with no job and unsuccessful with both my sister had been supportive by my parents. They both graduated from U of M and now are in the same field successful. It hurts me to think that I am a loser.

All I want is to have a career going for me with a car of my own,a apartment. Being able to support myself. I want to show my parents that I can do this on my own. Once I move out I will not be calling or visiting for a while. I need to be on my own to live my own life with out the support of my parents.

Portion Control

I just got home from the gym. I worked out at LA Fitness. I did 15 minutes on the treadmill and 20 on the Elliptical. As I was almost done with my workout one of the workers/trainers come up to me and asked if I had my free personal training and I said no and he told me that when I was done to come talk to him and I did and scheduled a appointment for January 14th at 3:00. I am looking forward to that. I feel good that I wanted to go to the gym but didn't feel like it so the secret is that I have to go the gym no matter what I feel. Just get up and go.

The thing I have to focus on is eating healthy = Portion Control and along with that is working out = cardio and weight training.

I feel good that I worked out and also I went the full 20 minutes on the Elliptical, which kicked my ass. The last 5 minutes I was thinking if the Biggest Loser contents can do this...so can I and I had Jillian Michales in my mind telling me I could do it and not give up.

A Summary of My Life - What makes me happy!!!!

God - With out having my belief in him. My life would be lost and would head down the wrong direction. I need him to guide me in the right direction so that I can continue to believe in myself and become successful. I used to pray when I was younger but somehow I didn't until last year. When I began praying again my life is focused and I happier.

Family - I love and cherish my family. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have a family and also have my extended with my Aunts and uncles and cousins.

Friends - If I didn't have friends I would be alone. I love that whatever I do I have friends that I can hang out with and have fun. That makes me happy to know I have friends.

Music - Music has been in my life since I was a little girl. I could not live without it. I love listening ot all kinds of music, playing it on my guitar and even writing it.

Writing Poetry - I've been writing poetry since I was a child and since then I have gotten a lot better. I am glad I have the ability to write it and express my feelings in this way. I keep all my poetry private cause they mean so much to me. They come from my heart and soul. I hope to one day publish them for the whole world to see.

Changes instead of Resolutions

There are going to be a lot of changes between This month until the end of the year. I am from nwo on not making any resolutions but instead I am going to change a little through out this year. I plan on going to the gym today at LA Fitness. Since I am paying 29.99 a month I need to take advantage of this great gym with a lot of machines to choose from and its also nice to see the men working out. I love eye candy. My problem is that I make alot of excuses like oh I don't feel like going so I will go tomorrow. I have to stop that and it's getting me no where. I have to learn how to stick to working out 3 days a week for 30 minutes, which it's a start to get back on this diet wagon.

My diet wagon has stopped and it's hard to get back on again. But today is a new day that I will start getting healthy.

Taurus: Yearly Overview - Outlook for 2009

It's time to celebrate yourself, Taurus! You are pouring yourself into your life's mission and rejuvenating yourself with abundant thinking, which attracts great things to you. You're diligently creating a public arena where opportunities will emerge for you to be a teacher or messenger. Engagements for speaking, writing and sharing your thoughts will open up. Other people will be inspired by your enthusiasm and insight, and will support you in accomplishing your goals.

Taurus's excitement radiates more than ever this year, bringing with it a magnificent energy the world has been lacking.

I so hope this is true. This gives me a positeve outlook on my future and more good things are about to come as time goes on. By the time I graduate from MCTI. I will have a degree in something I can get a decent pay job. Me going to this school is just a stepping stone for my life and hope it will bring me a good job with good pay and benifits. So I can be able to save enough money to buy a car and move out of Michigan and move to California.

Things are looking up

Wow, so far this year been good to me. 2 days ago I called my counselor at MRH and left a message. It seems that every time I call her she is out of the office but the next day she got my message and e-mailed MCTI and as soon as she got a responce she called me and told me that they said they would sent me the information packet yesterday and I should be getting it sometime next week. I am excited cause this means that I am half way closer to seeing a brighter future.

My plan still is after I graduate from MCTI in 6 months that I would find a full time job here and to get work experince and save up money to buy a car and then to save money so I can move out to California. I am positive the future will bring me success that I am looking for and be able to reach a lot of my goals I set for myself. I think 2009 will be my year to finally see my dreams come true.

Ashamed

Ashamed is how I feel right now. I am having a hard time getting back on the wagon. I just need to tray harder and stayed focused. Since I don't have to worry about a man. I need to make myself my #1 priority in my life. Starting with finding a job and now I can focus on getting healthy. I have to stop worrying about the future and start living in the now. This year I am taking little steps to change and I hope this is my year to finally change my self from the outside

A year of Luck and Happiness

This year has been looking up for me. Nothing but good things have been happening to me. So far USC (one of my favorite Teams) won the Rose Bowl against Penn State and then today my least favorite team OSU lost the Fiesta Bowl against Texas. All I have to say that I hope that this year brings me a lot of good luck and success with a job and weight loss and maybe if I am supper lucky a move to California.

The last 2 years 2007 and 2008 were bad for me with my grandma getting sick on the end of 07 and then passing away in March 2008. Then my cousin Donna got a divorce and I hope this year will be a year of luck and happiness for me and my family.

Life as a Californian

Its the new year and a lot of things will be changing this year. I spent my new year with Tom at his cousins girlfriends house. It was a fun night.

Since Tom will be going into the priest hood. I am free of him and will be focused on moving to California. I no longer have feelings for him and I am happy to say that my mind is on Cali. Every time I see a show that takes place in California. I think of how it will be for me to move out there and live my life as a Californian. I will be close to my sisters and cousin. My older sisters friends Neha and Rich moved there last year along with my little sisters friend Kari.It's like what the hell. Its my turn to move out there.
