I don't know any sane girl that would like to watch these dudes rumble in the octagan for a bit!! :D

.. before today ..

So Monday it was 29 degrees here...42 with the humidex, which trnaslates to disgustingly hot - Poor air quality alert, smog alert, and extreme heat advisory. Gross. I'm all for warmer weather, but it would be nice if it could stop at warm, and not continue to unbearably gross...

Went to Matt's house on Sunday for Rotisserie Chicken on the BBQ, swimming, sunshine, and then to the movies to go and see X-3...it was good, but not great. And short too...it seemed like there should have been more development, more to the ending...more something.

Saturday I slept while Nathan had to work in the morning, then got up and ate, and went to the gym - 3 days in a row...go me. Saturday night was UFC 60, Hughes VS. Gracie. All of the fights were really good, and it ended early, as usual. People are always so suprised when they find out that I love watching the Ultimate Fighter. I'm not sure why I like it, but it's not really worth wondering about. Maybe because most of the fighters are hot and half naked, lol!!

.. stupidness ..

Feeling angry tonight...Not spending as much time with Nathan lately because we are both in school, which means more nights at home, and less nights at his house. This translates to him getting grumpy when talking to me on the phone, me getting upset because he's being kinda rude, then him being fine, and not getting why I'm sounding frustrated, when he announces out of nowhere that he's going to bed.

And the next day it's like nothing ever happened. Once, I can handle, even twice...But it seems to be a common thing these days

And I hate going to bed angry. I don't get enough sleep as it is.

.. i solemnly swear ..

1. To exercise at least 3 days a week
2. To eat more fruits and vegetables and less junk
3. To be a better blogger/commenter [ie: stop lurking!!]
4. To finish reading chapter 4 tonight, and get chapter five done by Friday night!!
5. To get this big container of winter clothing closed up and put into the basement by tomorrow night
6. To complain less, and enjoy more

.. sunshiney day ..

What sucky weather for a Holiday weekend! Of course, it gets sunny today, after the weekend is over! Oh well, I didn't do anything exciting anyways...After Nathan's episode at the gym on Thursday, we decided no late nights - which was fine with me, because I was exhausted! Still tired today too, so I slept on the way to school, and on the way home...Nothing else to do for those 2.5 hours [each way!!]

So I have been trying to eat better lately...I'm noticing though that now I am eating less junky food, I feel hungry ALL THE TIME!! I feel like some unsatiable animal that could just eat and eat and eat all day! I hope that is normal, lol :D. Although, I guess with going to the gym as well I will be burning more energy than in the past, and I guess that would make me pretty hungry as well...

So my orientation for the gym was yesterday. Jenn decided to come with me, which was cool. Steph showed us a bunch of the machines, proper form, what each machine works...and we even got a free training program to start us off, which we didn't know we'd be getting. I won't be doing it every time I go to the gym, but I will try and do it everyother trip though. Jenn and I are planning on working in some excersises on the stability balls as well, so we will probably alternate between the ball and the machines. We'll see, lol!

.. What a Day ..

School today...So 5 hours on the bus. 5 hours of wasted time. Too bumpy to read, because I have to highlight while I am reading...and I hate all those wiggly lines. But I got a few minutes of sleep thrown in there both ways today, so that's good I guess.

So...I was on the bus ride home, and my cell rings - I'm expecting Nathan to call, but it is Jenn, so I am wondering - what's Jenn calling for? She was calling to tell me that Nathan had passed out during his personal training session, and was getting carted off to the hospital in an Ambulance!! So I start panicking [because I tend to do that], and actually get to the Hospital before the Ambulance and Matt and Jenn arrive! So...I start panicking again, and then, when the ambulance gets there, they want me to sign him in, but won't let me see him. Then JUST as I am about to be able to see him, the medic comes into reception, sneaks the paperwork from the receptionists hands, and tells me to keep on waiting!!

Meanwhile, I'm sitting there waiting for 20 minutes, no news, no nothing, and his mum shows up, and waltzes right on in there, no questions asked! Not that I am upset that they let her in - she is his mum after all...But just upset that they wouldn't let me see him, when he was all by himself, and doing okay anways...GRR...Needless to say, he is fine, and they sent him home, no restrictions. But he's taking the day off tomorrow anyway [My orders, LOL]. I wish they could have figured out what caused his blood pressure to drop so low that he passed out, but they are not 100% sure...I'm just glad he is okay though!

But now I am home, sitting in my messy crowded room, amd wondering if I am ever going to make it to the gym this week...I want to go swimming, and do some time on the treadmill and bikes...And the leg machines too. The consultant at my assessment said they would strengthen my muscles in my knees, which translates to No More Pain!! Maybe I'll make it there tomorrow anyway...by myself EEK!

.. Down down ..

Downloading...it's addicting. I'm a bad dowloader too...I do get most of my songs from iTunes these days, but I must admit that in a pinch, Limewire is my best friend. So, I have been catching up on blogs for, oh, the last hour or so, and was reading through one of Nadine's posts and she was talking about Pandora, which I love. She metioned a song that she liked by Plumb, and holy time warp! Do you ever suddenly get reminded of music that you LOVED years ago, and somehow managed to forget about? I do...and then it's like DUDE! How could I ever have forgotten about this?!?!

Needless to say, I've been searching and searching for Plumb songs, and listening as I catch up on Blogs. My personal fave is "stranded". Love it. Used to listen to it every single day when I was younger. Bet I'll be doing that again for the next little while too...:D

My room is still a FREAKING huge mess! Seriously, I have to CRAWL over things, just to move in here! It's hard to combine two rooms full of stuff into one tiny space...Winter clothes in a plastic container to move to the basement. Gym bag and laundry basket with no home. Big Ass bed that takes up half the space, but I couldn't possibly live without. 2 book shelves crammed with books, movies, magazines, scrapping supplies, camera's, notebooks...A desk that is about a foot too deep, but I don't really want to give up [besides, it only cost $30.00 from Ikea!!]

Anyway, I need to make some changes to my cardio playlist on the iPod...fill the dishwasher for mum before she gets home...get ready to watch the Finale of BONES - SO excited about that one!

Two posts in one night! I'm on a roll!!

.. Wednesday Ramblings ..

I mean really, how much do I suck? Vanishing for almost two and a half weeks! I'm back, now now anyways, LOL.

. So I am in summer school now, taking Cognition. I wanted to take Psychology of the family, but it is at the other campus, and just wasn't going to work. We already had our midterm in that class...I think it went okay, but I am not %100 sure yet. no grade until next Tuesday probably. We got our final grades for 05/06 released yesterday... 6 A's including one A+. Go Me :) My GPA went down though a bit from last year which is disappointing, but maybe if I work mucho hardo [LOL] in Cognition I might be able to pull off an A+ in it, and pull my GPA up a bit more.

So I worked today, and got the bus home from Whitby after my Dad dropped me off. perfect timing too, since th ebus was pulling up right as I got there! No waiting in the rain either - even better! While I was waiting in Oshawa I started talking to one of my old boyfriends, Scott. Man, he was looking rough. He's only a year older than I am, and already he has a little girl, Brianna [beautiful name...] I'm so proud of him for taking care of her though....He was lookign worn out and stressed, but his face lit up when he talked about her, and I could just tell that he meant every loving word. I can't decide if I am surprised by that or not...I don't really think so...he always just needed something to be passionate about. Why not be passionate about her I guess...Nothing beats that.

I joined the gym last week too. It is SOOO nice there! I did my fitness asdsessment yesterday...She took my Body Fat percentage, showed me some of the machines, booked me for orientation. All in all, not too bad. The pool is my favourite part of it though. They have the pool and the hot tub, and they are both Salt Water, instead of chlorine. So it tastes funny, but no green hair :D

Time to read about attention. Yeehaw....:S

.. back to school tomorrow ..

I mean seriously, how much does that suck? Had my last final on Thursday morning [and holy crap was it ever hard], and tomorrow is Tuesday, and it is back to school again. No extra days off to enjoy. Friday at work, and today at work, and the weekend spent as usual. Except that Nathan was sick, and his parents were gone, so we had to stay home for the dogs

Exciting.

And, to top it all off, I can't even take the summer school class that i WANT to take, because it is at the campus, and there is absolutely no way I could make it there in time. Without leaving at like 5.00 am, and that is just too early for me to even think about. Crap.

Went to the scarpbooking store on Friday, and bought a few things. paper mostly...some cardstock. Charlene told me again that I should be teaching classes there. which is super flattering, but I don't exactly know how to take it, since they haven't actually ASKED me to teach. And I wouldn't even know where to begin! I've never even BEEN to a scrapping class before, let alone taught one!

My room is a mess and it is making me feel crowded and claustrophobic...maybe I will remember to write more once I get some tidying up done.
