AuntB's *Blog this* challenge: physical appearance

What would I change about myself physically?

Well, there's the obvious lose weight option, but I think that goes without saying really, and I'm currently successful in that department so I'll leave that out for now, though it really is the number one thing. I'm pretty happy with the rest of me, if only it were a little less of me. ;)

Um, I would change, my skin, and my teeth.

Forever I've been wanting braces. When I was in middle/highschool I said I wanted braces. Crazy I know, but, when I was very young I had lots of teeth pulled (I don't really remember why, stupid orthodontist) and well they came in crooked. I would LOVE to have pretty straight, white teeth.

As for my skin, it's been a constant battle for my whole adult life. The one thing I can say is thank God I did not have these acne problems as a middle/highschooler. Those days are hard enough as it is, and I'm glad my acne was mild-nonexistant at that point. These days however, It's pretty bad. It's been way way worse, but, either way, I hate it. I wish I could have smooth, pretty, creamy skin. Instead it scars and blotches easily. I swear it takes forever for a red ugly acne scar to fade. Oh well, I try to pick good makeup and then honestly, I've kinda decided who cares. It's not too bad right now, and well, people love me regardless, so not that big a deal.

Wow, according to this post I must be a sad sight. I'm really not quite that bad, I think I have pretty hair, and eyes. Overall I'm a pretty girl, Oh and yes I'm just pretty damn fabulous to know and talk to so, there. ;)

Free, free like the wind....

I am done! I gave my last final, tallied up the grades plugged em in, printed them out and turned em in! *happy dance, happy dance* yippee skippee!

Overall the students did, well, I had some good students and um, some not so good students. The not so good ones pretty much dropped, and left the good ones behind. No issues out of anyone *knock, knock* and for the most part everyone loved me, and gave me hugs and what not on their ways out. *sigh* thank God. After last semesters glares and under breath mutterings, I needed some sweet students and I had a few. I had some super sweet girls in my classes. The kind of people you truly hope do well, and send you a little note to let you know they made it into whatever program they were looking for. :)

It's funny I was in a cranky mood earlier, I didn't want to cook, and well with the obnoxious enlightenment I've had about food lately, I can't just "pick something up". If I think about it, I think about "what will these trans fats do to me?" and "this is going to make my blood sugar skyrocket and I'll store all that sugar as fat" Argh! Damn you South Beach Diet! It freaks me out that what he described in the book is actually turning out to be true. Like I had 1/2 cup of wild rice with dinner and lo and behold I feel hungry now. *sigh* I haven't felt hungry in like 4 days, and I've had 2 cookies and 1/2 cup of rice and I feel effing hungry. :(

But you know, I will want a hamburger and fries again someday, in all their incredible carb and trans fat laden glory. I have no idea what I will do that day.

The other thing about it is, I've been losing weight. So this stuff does work, I figure it would, it makes perfect sense, but to see it really working is another thing. I don't know how much I've lost this week, I haven't gotten on the scale. Monday is weigh day. I don't like to weigh more than once a week, cause well it'll take a week for that really show up and I like having that boost on Monday morning. Lets hope its another 2 lbs on Monday and then I'll be down 7 lbs total in 3 weeks! Not bad. :)

I only smelled them....

I am so totally proud of myself, I completely bypassed a whole full tray of macadamia nut, white chocolate chip, cranberry cookies. *sigh* I only smelled them, I did not eat them.

Oh and those are not three types of cookies, all three of those delectable ingredients are rolled into one delicious chewy, but slightly crunchy cookie.

I only smelled them, I did not eat them. *sigh*

More explanation on this topic later.

The end is in sight!

I am done with the grading!!

My final is already written, just needs to be proofed and dropped off at the print shop!!

Then it's 3 exam days to go, with grading and grade entering each day after the exam.

Come Thursday afternoon, it will be done. *sigh of relief*

Spring/Summer break, thank God.

A pox and a curse upon the Yankees!!

Ok let me make it clear I don't wish anyone to be physically hurt, but I do wish the Yankees a hundred year losing streak!!

First pettitte goes back to NY, which you know at least he did it before the season started etc. still a traitor (dead to me I tell you!) but at least he doesn't string you along like a bad boyfriend. clemens, now he on the other hand, has bugged me with his wishy washy, flippity, floppity indecisiveness on whether he was going to retire or not, both last year and this year. And here we were as an organization waiting by the phone like a little highschool girl "Will he call me and tell me he likes me today?" We were ready to hand over millions of dollars for just few months of pitching, like a girl ready to hand over "2nd base" because the star highschool pitcher talked to her in the cafeteria. All puns clearly intended, oh and lack of capitalization on names clearly intended as well, I offer no capitalization for people lucky enough to have been born in Texas and then turn their backs on their hometown teams, especially when they made it a point to let everyone know thats why they were coming back to "finish out their careers here with their hometown team". I revoke your Texan citizanships!! (and you know Texas is the only state that was its own country, so it means something!)

Anyway, clemens didn't even have the decency to tell us first, classless to announce it over the PA system to Yankee fans from Steinbrenner's box. "Well you got me outta Texas" (clemens) Don't let the door hit your @ss on the way out. OH and take your Bedazzler crazed "designer" wife with you. Look lady just cause you take a denim jacket (in colors other than denim no less) and add an obnoxious amount of studs to it in a tacky pattern doesn't make you a "designer". Oh wait and then there's your husbands signature which is where the real price comes in, but then again I wouldn't pay for that if it was 10 cents. I mean come on, I slap pictures and "bling" on paper but I don't call myself a designer. *eyeroll*

Ok ok, I think its out of my system now. Though I will forever root against the Yankees (I did before, but now more so) I hope they never win another game. Ever. Never. I know that is highly, highly unlikely, but I can hope.

Oh and HEB will have to come up with something else for their cute commercials all their stars are now gone. (pettitte, clemens, and Carr) Which sucks, cause those were funny. *sigh*

The Universe is telling me.....

to quit trying to find online techniques for procrastination via 2peas, and get my bootie back to grading papers. *sigh*

It's just so easy. The computer, a portal to all sorts of entertainmaent, from free online games, to scrolling through scrapping message boards, to checking in on the bananas, to simply checking email, both regular and business related. Oh and never mind just googling crap, cause that can take you on a 2 hour adventure across the "interweb" as my sister calls it. Yes, the computer is simply the procrastinators paradise. Oh did I mention blogging is a great timewaster. You know writing about terribly simple everyday things (or not so everyday things) assuming that other people want to read it. Or at least trying to be vaguely insightful or possibly funny so other people want to read it. The funny thing is I have a definitive set of blogs I read at least once a day if not more just waitin for my friends to update, so evidently people do read blogs. In fact, while I haven't actually met AuntB I feel like I totally know her. Same with Nee in Germany, though I have met her once, briefly.

Anyway, I will try to do more everyday posting for my regular readers, ok, so westtexgirl and Htownmimerz are probably my only regular readers, if that much. (I apologize to anyone else who is a regular reader and I don't realize it, post a comment and then I will know the extent of my loyal fanbase!) I will try to post more.

Hmmm.

*checking clock*.... Okey dokey... a few more minutes of sanity when I didn't have to read the inaneness of the these assignments. augh. back to the salt mines.

I'll check in soon.
