1. The Avatar: The Last AirBender.
2. Making apple crisp!
3. The day off... it's been wonderful!
4. OH! DUH! Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs in 3D. Oh, it's so good! It actually met and exceeded my expectations!
5. This new tea. Delicious!

1. Having the next two days off.
2. Making it through 6 freaking days of retail in a row... as long as I make it tonight.
3. Quesidillas.
4. Watching shows and having the same thoughts that Cassie did like 2 weeks ago.
5. Warm socks.

1. Possible Halloween plans.
2. Wuthering Heights. Cassie! Join our reading group! We're doing a book club at work for girls and it's just female authors. Even if you can't come to the meetings we can still talk about the books! The first is Wuthering Heights... I'm getting this copy:http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Wuthering-Heights/Emily-Bronte/e/9780143105435/?itm=10&USRI=wuthering+heights Isn't that awesome? You could too, or any version.
3. Working out, setting my goal to be 5lbs lighter in one month instead of 20lbs lighter in 3. Smaller goals are more accomplishable.
4. Weird dreams that may be good stories.
5. Christmas time. I don't want to work retail for the holidays, but I'm so excited for the holidays to come!

1. 15 member cards at work last night! This is maybe in part due to someone telling my manager not to mention cards to me. He didn't and I had a good night. So, we'll see if it's a trend.
2. Being almost to Overweight instead of Obese! Hurray! That in itself will make me happy!
3. My brother and sister and sister in law and brother in law!
4. Text messages.
5. Um.................................... Grey's Anatomy!

1. Cassie.
2. Breakfast sandwiches.
3. Being positive all day at work.
4. My work review. I was adequate.
5. Sleeping late.

Gees. Yesterday was bad. I mean REALLY bad... so it's hard to find the positive, but today is better and I know I can come up with something.

1. Buying the last two skull mugs at work. I'd been waiting and waiting for them to come in and they finally did, but we were only shipped 4. So, I got the last two. Perfect!
2. Matt not letting me ruin my diet by eating the chips and dips he brought home... even though he brought them home.
3. The Avatar. What a great show!
4. Glee... another great show. Sadly, I was watching it while talking with someone who just chose to say hurtful things despite my being really sick.
5. Having nice friends named Cassie and Matt. Jenny and Cory made me feel better too. And my mom.

I know it's not the MOST positive it could be, but it's what I can muster today.

Okay, I did it! Here's the happiest thing I can think of: I finally made a doctor's appointment. It's not until November 17th, but I called and I'm on the schedule and I'll finally be able to say that I did it. It took A LOT of talking myself up... which seems really stupid, but it was really hard for me for some reason. So, yay! I did it! YAY!

1. Pinapple Express.
2. Starting a script and putting the script writing software on my computer.
3. Coffee... I'm so tired. I need it.
4. 10 hours or more of Facebook time/watching tv on my laptop.
5. The breakfast Matt made yesterday. It was really good. It deserves to be on here twice.

Today's post should be really excited and positive... but last night just didn't turn out the way I'd hoped. Oh well! There were some good things!

1. Tequilla Sunrises.
2. The Jason's and the slew of other friends celebrating Eureka.
3. Tequilla.
4. Matt making me breakfast today. He's been really sweet every since we left Piano Bar with me crying. :)
5. Sumo Smackdown and catching up on TV. I wish I didn't have to wait so long! Glee is on tonight so I can watch it tomorrow! YAY!

1. Since it was Eureka's last day at BN (sad :( face), our manager was a little more linient with both of us. We chatted a little more than would normally be allowed, and I got to work on projects most of the day, which is pretty much NEVER allowed. So, it's very sad that she's leaving, but it made for a very memorable and fantastic day for me! (Except that she's not going to be there anymore.) I got to learn how to put out new releases and do some signage and fix the octagon, and sticker things. It was very cool. I really enjoyed today.
2. Despite her best 666 efforts, Cassafrantastic is still alive and her soul is intact.
3. I talked to my mommy today. I enjoy doing that.
4. Watching a movie with Matt before we spend a really awesome night at Piano Bar tonight. I'm assuming it'll be awesome. I'm sure it will.
5. My lappytoppy. I still love it.

1. Attempts at being positive.
2. Everything I said yesterday still makes me happy today.
3. Playfish games on Facebook.
4. Penguins.
5. Owls.

Today's hard! Yesterday was so good that I want to just add all those things again. :)

Best Weekend Ever

1. Driving to the Lake to see Cassie! While the drivers were mucho insane and almost ran me off the road a few times, it was totally worth it! Plus I had 2 mugs of coffee; one for each hour of the drive. Is that the proper puncuation?
2. Learning comparative and superlative forms! Watching clogging! Going to the grocery store for one of the tastiest (superlative form) meals I've had! Playing Beatles Rockband! Watching some of the VMAs! Looking at a pretty spider.
3. SEVENTY rounds of skeeball. 70! SEVENTY! Can you believe it? My back hurts, but it was worth it. Well worth it. I won so many tickets I was able to buy a small plush animal!
4. My mom coming to see me and us arriving back in Springfield at the exact same time. Despite the rain it was a fun 2 hours.
5. 3 movies in 20 hours. Love Happens (3 of 5 stars. It was a lot sadder than I expected it to be, which was depressing.), The Informant (4 of 5 stars. Matt Damon was fantastic! The movie was a little slow and not as funny as I thought it would be, but interesting and different from a lot of movies that are out there right now.), and All About Steve (4 of 5 stars. It was my favorite of all of the movies we watched. Sandra Bullock is great, as is Bradley Cooper and the rest of the cast. It was funny and well written. I loved the cross word tie-in. Plus, it had a good message and ending.)

This weekend was great. I love Cassie and my mom and Matt. I'm glad I got to do things with all three of them! XOXO!

1. I was going to post about Q-tips the other day! Now C has!
2. Exercising... even if it's not paying off on the scale. I'm not sure why because I did 30 minutes of steps and it told me I gained today. It's making me a little crazy, but at least I'm trying.
3. I'm up at 7am on a Saturday because I have fun plans and 2 days off!
4. Dinner last night.
5. Water. It's wonderful.

1. Deciding to drive to the Lake on Saturday!
2. Matt and his gibberish.
3. 30 minutes of steppin'!
4. Food... but I don't have any at the moment, so I don't really know what to do... all I know is I love food. And I'm thankful for food.
5. The color Pink.

4. Coffee.
5. Phone calls from BFFFs.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I was going to post a bunch of great things because I had a bunch of great things to post. Here they are:

1. I lost 8 lbs (apparently my scale hates me because it said I gained 13 lbs since last night... and since the 8 lbs was like "seriously? wow, that's amazing!" I have to believe that the bigger number is true. :( Good news is I only gained 5lbs since the last contest.
2. It's raining.
3. 1 day left at work until a day off.
4. Bought healthy food.
5. Worked out already (oh... but I haven't because I'm depressed about the stupid scale. I was so excited and happy and ready to keep going... this is a fatal blow.)
