a little bit o' this, a little bit o' that pt. 2

this whole week has been freakin' crazy. I finally feel like I got caught up in my classes and even though it's now ~sPrInG bReAk 2k11~ all I can feel is "what spring break because I'll be working and doing school work". exciting life, let me tell you what.

yesterday was my Aunt Pat's memorial and it was just so amazing, which probably isn't the best thing to say about a funeral but as my cousin Jake said, "we put the fun in funerals!" there were plenty of tears and laughter, and my dad did so great delivering my Aunt Michelle's speech for her and it killed me because I know how hard it had to be on him, considering this was like his second mother. but Aunt Pat would've been so proud of her Little Guy. :') we spent all day in the car pretty much, had road beers and shot the shit the whole way back. I really couldn't ask for a better family, even if they are slightly off and annoying sometimes. I honestly love them.

oh, and I spent about $100+ today at Old Navy and Cato's. so worth it though. I've actually spent so much in the past couple of days and I don't even care. tomorrow I'm (hopefully) going to start doing the 30 Day Shred again (do that every other day and do pilates on the days I don't) so I can get rid of my gross ass gut and actually have the self-confidence I need. and I'm really excited about tomorrow because my sister Sarah and I are going to see this for my cultural diversity class (but really, for us to drool and cry)

there will probably be tears.

March Madness (not related to the basketball whatever and actually more boring)

since we're done with the shit show called February, I decided to take a different approach to March: make things positive. this includes

• working harder & actually caring about my school work and work work because it looks good and it'll be better and make me stress less if I just get it done ASAP. plus then I can have more time to just chill and eat snacks in my bed.
  
• start working out/actually eating better again because I'm personally sick and fucking tired of hating my body and hating that nothing looks good on me imo.
• speaking of bodies, buying ~nicer~ clothes and attempt to look put together. this may or may not have to do with the fact that I keep getting side-eyed and that my dad told me I dress too teenager. I hate teenagers.
  
• challenging myself with the 50 books in a year challenge. we have enough possible interesting books around here and I have some pretty good friends who'd let me borrow some for the sake of being smarter. right, guys?
• do more art stuff. my campus does an art show and it'd probably look good if I made something awesome and entered it since I'm art club treasurer and all. plus it doesn't hurt if I win something, does it?
  
• just keep telling yourself that you are fabulous and fuck anyone who disagrees.
  

cool? cool.
