Scary

So several weeks ago I had a very scary experience. I was eating guacamole and started having a full-blown anaphalactic reaction. AKA allergic reaction. Throat closing, couldn't breath, freaking out. I ran to my car praying I had some Benadryl in my purse. The last two pills in the bottle saved me. I obviously wasn't thinking straight. I should have called 911. Anyway, the Benadryl kicked in and I was fine. Scared silly, but fine. So I will be getting tested for food allergies soon.

Otherwise things are fine. We're having a cookout tonight at the apartment for Beth's boyfriend's birthday. I love having people over and cooking. Beth baked a strawberry cake AND an apple pie for Shaun. I'm very impressed with her pie. Look at it! So proud. :o)









Last night I went over to the Howell's to watch gymnastics. I LOVE spending time with Jen, Kris and the boys. They are adopting a little girl from Korea. I cannot WAIT to hold Molly!!! Check out thenighthowells.blogspot.com

So July is FLYing by.

I don't know where July is going! Last thing I knew I was turning 26 on the 5th and now it's the 17th?? Holy cow! At least The Dark Knight is coming out tomorrow. Oh and I bought a bike. Should be nice taking rides out here where I live. I'll have to take a picture of my apartment and my bike so you can all see it.

I'm going to see Corey today. His parents are taking us out for my birthday to a place called Flamingo Row in Paducah. I hear it's a good place. We're also going to see The Dark Knight tomorrow. And we have to get sushi sometime while I'm up there. That's just a fact. If Corey and I are together we have to get sushi. It's pretty much the best food in the whole world.

Really that's it right now. Pretty sad. Maybe next time I'll have really really exciting news. Oh and Jenny, I'm cooking poppy seed chicken casserole as I type. Not too exciting but I am cooking. :o)

Moving on up

Wow, I just checked my comments for the first time in a month or so. I didn't think anyone read this. Anyway, ladies, you are right, time for an update. Almost two weeks ago I moved into an apartment in Jackson with my old college roommate. It's GREAT! It was time to move out of my parents house and be on my own. I love being in Jackson too. My friend Sarah lives above us. Did I say it's GREAT yet? :o) Work is going fine. I'm working a crazy shift but what's new, right? I like work though. I never thought I would enjoy working 3rd shift but I do. Plus I only work three days a week. Can't beat that!

I went grocery shopping today and I plan on cooking a LOT more now that I'm on my own. I love cooking but haven't had the chance/time in a while. Oh and I have cable now. That means Food Channel and Rachael Ray! Love it! Man I'm goofy. I'd love to hear from you guys!

Whoo Hoo!!!

I lost my first pound!!! I'm so excited if you can't tell! :o)

Hmm...

It's funny how passionate you can be about something one day and then just a few weeks later you don't even think about it. I'm referring to my last post about losing weight. A friend of mine gave me some Weight Watchers literature yesterday. I'm excited about trying again and trying to get in a routine.

In other news, I've adopted a pet. Her name is Cupcake and she's a White Terrier Webkinz dog. My buddies Zach, Keaton and Peyton helped me name her. Keaton taught me all about the Webkinz world. :o)

War on Fat

So it's 12:30am and I have to get up in 5 hours. I can't sleep so I thought I'd write.

I saw myself on video for the first time in a long time the other night and I was appalled. I know we all look heavier on tv but geesh. So today I joined the war on fat. I worked out for an hour today and I'm hoping to continue this healthy habit. I ran 6 days a week my senior year at Union and loved how I felt. Now I feel like a rolly poly and hate it. Corey and I were watching something on tv last week about a kid who has a physical handicap but still walks/jogs in races all the time. It made us both feel so lazy. This kid who has so much difficulty even walking does it. But we sat there eating our pizza and complaining about moving to get the remote. Wow. Talk about motivation.

So there it is. If you see me/talk to me/message me about it I'll be honest with you. If you want the challenge you can keep me accountable.

Ready to travel

I was just looking at a friends photo album on facebook. She's been to so many places. The most recent pictures are from her trip to Peru. I'm tired of always saying I want to travel but never traveling. There are so many places in this world that I want to experience. Actually there are places in this country that I've never seen. I want to visit New England, Oregon, California, Montana, Maine and the list goes on and on. Later this year my sister and I are planning are trip to Alaska to see my cousins. I guess I'm just feeling restless today.
