Elm Streets Last Brat

heeee he heee heee heeeeee...today we had good burgers...yumm. It was a gorgeous day out but it was chillyyy, but tuesday and wednesday....ohh wonderful tuesday and wednesday...69, and 71...YES PLEASE.

So we decided we are going to the casino on April 15th which just so happens is me and dons FIVEEEE year anniversary. We're going because dons mom had 2 $45 things for free moneeey honeyy, and 2 free rooms, so that should be fun. Munsters, and Lemmings, and Latinos OH MY!

Me and Mandi did a photoshoot Friday....it was fun, although windy and my camera was a bitch and wouldnt let me upload the pics until yesterday. But i finally got the bitches and they are on my computer...Ill post them later, but in the meantime I do have some other pics from a couple of weeks ago, and here dey are

Firstly, here are some SUPERRRRR cute pictures of my niece...doesnt she make the cutest faces?!








Here are some of when me, savannah and georgia went for a walk adventure

look at that face!! LOOK AT THE DIMPLE....THE DIMPLEEEE!


spitting image of daddy in this one


with gramma




love this one..look at her little gums

I made zeppole today. I used Giadas recipe....dons mom just loooooves them. I like them, but i like more bread type ones better....these are like cream puff/popover type dough. Don is sick with a head cold...the pills that i got for him dont seem to be working. Hopefully he gets better soon.

I made potato soup last nite and it was sooo good...Emily loved it too! lol. Tonite we're gonna get Olive Garden take out because don has been craving chicken alfredo...i dunno what im gonna get.

Its a boooring boring day, although earlier we ordered some Blairs Death Rain chips...cheddar (which we've had and are delicious and medium in spice) and Habenaro, which we've never tried and are in the category of "XXX hot"...im excited

Sometimes I feel like i'm such an outcast, and people just think i'm a huge weirdo. I feel more awkward than I did in highschool, because in school there are hundreds of kids that are just trying to find themselves, and most of them are awkward, but now as an adult, I feel like I should have figured it out by now. I mean i'm not so much trying to FIND myself, but i dunno. I just feel like i dont fit in anywhere. I don't quite fit in with the adults because my personality is a little too immature and goofy. I CERTAINLY don't fit in with most of my peers, because i'm an "old soul" I guess. Its like I dont really have anyone to talk to that can understand what I feel like. Sure, I can talk to Don and tell him how i feel, but he wont understand it. I just get so embarrassed sometimes when I like try to join a conversation with adults and I say something totally stupid or its just like *crickets* I feel so far off base with everyone like i don't fit into any age group. I have someone I love to spend my life with that I feel is my soul mate and i'm super happy with, yet I still feel like such a loner and like I dont belong anywhere.

I just got back from the mall where I didnt find ANYTHING to buy. I was gonna buy a new eyelash curler and mascara at Target, but then I decided to go to Walmart and get them cheaper...I didnt end up going to walmo. I braided my bangs today....it feels so nice to get them out of my face, because they're in "that" stage. It helps that it looks nice too. I get so sick of always just pinning them back. I cant wait till all my hair just grows out and i can stick it back in a ponytail if i need to without a bunch of little pieces falling out.

Me and Don went to Old Chicago for lunch. It was decent...they give you cookies at the end and the cookies are always good.

I took my "before" pics last nite for the Before & After when I go on my diet and (hopefully) lose a bunch of weight. It was gross...omfg im so huge...my gut is disgustingly gross.

Anyhoo thats about all i can think of for right now.

I think im getting carpel tunnel in my left hand/wrist. It hurts. Me and don will be starting our low carb diets on monday....im excited and i hope that i have the willpower to keep it up. I kinda went on a low carb diet when i was 18. I basically lived off of green olives, cheddar cheese and diet sunkist, and then sometimes for dinner id eat these hamburger/swiss fritatta/omelette things. Sometimes I just wouldnt eat though and then id kinda pass out lol. I lost about 40 lbs. I did drink a lotttt of water though and I went jogging everyday and did 600 crunches a day, and some piddly exercises. I should buy some 5 lb weights. I'd love to lose at least 20 lbs by summer...we'll see my pretties....we'll seeee.

I want to learn how to roller skate. I never did learn, even though we went rollerskating a lot during daycare when i was younger,and also again when i was in 8th grade because it was the "cool" thing to do on friday nites, but ive always been so afraid to fall I never really gave myself a chance to learn.

I bought some jeans yesterday at old navy. They're actually capris, but on me they're a tiny bit longer than floods. If they were about 1/2 inch longer then they'd be the perfect length for me. They're super comfortable. I had to exchange them today for a smaller size because they're pretty stretchy. I also bought Emily a cute outfit. It consisted of a brown t-shirt with multi coloured polka dots, and then short coral shorts, which matched one of the polka dots in the shirt. Its very cute and Kayla liked it so thats good =) I just found the clothes on the ON site...I couldnt find them yesterday to show Jeanette, so here's a pic


I cant freaking waaaaait till summer! Or spring...I just want this sunuvabitchin snow to be gone. Im SICK OF IT....ITS ALLLLLL BULLSHIT! I cant wait for this spring when we get a deckkkkk omg omg omg im so excited for a deck. The sun sets behind our house so that will be nice.

Today is my best fiends birthday...She is 25!! wahoo. Here are some pics of us back in the day.




Happy Birthday Betch

Today me, don and savannah went tubing. It was fuuuuuun!! We were supposed to go with LeRoy and Logan also, but I guess logans legs hurt from walking around MOA on v-day so he didnt wanna go anymore. I love tubing, but I DONT love walking from the bottom of the hill to the lift thingy...im way too out of shape and it feels like my lungs will explode. Thankfully it was semi warm today and the sun was out. It was a really nice day to go. Apparently other people thought so as well because by the time we left there were prolly around 50 people there. I took pics. Here they are










the view from the top of the hill




and here is a video of us 3 going down the hill together


ALSO I have pics from SUPERBOWLLLLL (which I happened to win $100 on 2 boards)






ouch
