"It's Ggrreeaattt To Staay Up Llaatteeee!!"

(hehe... i love this pic!!)

I love that movie! (Singin in the Rain, NOT Twilight! Eww!!)

It's really late, but I don't really feel like going to sleep.... Hmmmm..... :\

I've been de-junking my room... I've gotten lots of stuff out. And I'm STILL deciding what else I could do without.... (I bet there is a ton of stuff I could live without... but I kinda LIKE some of this stuff! Like Minnie Mouse that I've had for AGES! She's all faded and her dress is a very light pink. it's not red or pink or whatever it used to be.... But I still love her. Even if I don't carry her all over these days!)

I guess now that I've got my bed cleaned off I should head off to see if I could get these sheepies to help me catch a few Z's.... I wonder how good sheep are at playing fetch?! Or maybe it's more like a retriever? (Is that even spelled right? It looks wrong... All well, I'm tired and don't care)

Ok, I'm gonna go train a few sheep in any case! Good Night anyone who might be reading this.... Although I think it probably isn't a terribly big # of people. (OH..... If you haven't heard about it yet, go check out "sleep talkin man" blog. It's a hoot! you can just google it if you want! )

AB-solutely aching :(

well... i guess it means it's working if my muscles hurt. i'm just glad that it's only one area at a time. like the other day it was my arms. and before that it was my thighs.

but right now it happens to be my abs!

we started our assessments yesterday. i did 25 sit-ups and 35 push-ups (we had to count how many we could do in a minute). we also got our weight, BMI, hydration and a few other things that i'm not sure what they mean.

for girls a healthy hydration is between 50 and 60%. i was at 49.8%. DUDE!!! i think it was because i had to go before class.... but maybe i'm just a tad dehydrated?

i'm kinda in the healthy range.... one thing said i'm obese. :( but paula said that it could be wrong cuz muscle weighs more than fat. so i think that's what it really is. ;)

all i want is to get toned. back in shape. i bet if i were to go and swim for 2 or so hours a day again then i would be back pretty fast. but it's been like over a year (mb year and 1/2?)..... wow. a long time!

anyway. it hurts to spit, cough, sneeze, laugh, bend, stretch, try to pick things up. you wouldn't think you use your abs that much, but just trying to sit up kills!! :'(

all well. you know what they say-- "beauty is pain" ...... right?

EXERCISE!

OMG! my muscles hurt. i'm taking a body strength and tone class thru SLCC. yesterday was the second day.

the first day she just went over the syllabus, had us do introductions, and then told us the PROPER way to do crunches! :) (what you are supposed to do is pull your bellybutton to your back, tighten your pelvic floor and exhale on every "up").

yesterday we did lots of stuff. we did stuff for our biceps, triceps, lats, hamis (not much), quads, lower back, and lots of ab stuff.

she told us that after 4 weeks your muscles get bored... so you need to switch up your workouts so that your keep your muscles guessing.... (muscle confusion).

so i've been walking around with sore muscles. :(

also, my backpack is freakishly heavy and it really sucks carrying 3-ish big books. (-_- )

the bf!!! .... and then there's school.

so i haven't been up to logan yet. i think it's about time i do go up there. it's only fair... he's come down here how many times now? anyway.... maybe i'll go up on monday (no school! yay!) if they're not planning on doing anything/going anywhere. and then i'm going up for his birthday! (just have to get the assignments i'd be missing.)

i'm so excited to see him! i miss him.... he's such a sweet guy. but he still teases me, so i think it's probably just right. he'll even let me tease him back without getting mad about it (unlike some guys i've gone out with.... let me tell you, i really don't like guys like that. and especially when they're really bossy, too!)

today was my 3rd day of classes in the lovely spring 2010 semester. it was a little hard to follow the human anatomy prof. but i guess it didn't help that i left the packet (note/chapter outline) at home. she went over a bunch of pics in the packet. :\

anyway... i've got this song that i think becky will really like.. it sounds like her sort of thing. it's called tangerine speedo! :P

ok, i have class in the morning at 9... which means in order to make it to the bus on time, i should wake up at 7 again.... *rme* yay...... :(

lovin' the flexibility....

not the bend-over-backwards and twist-up-like-a-living-pretzel type of flexible.... more like the plans-don't-go-how-you-expect-and-have-to-mesh-and-mold-to-something-that-will-work-better type of flexibility. :)

don't get me wrong... if i could bend up like a pretzel that would be awesome! but my pretzel would look more like the log pretzels! hey... they're a-heck-of-a-lot more comfortable than the twisty ones... ;) and i'm pretty sure you agree. you could even do that while you're being lazy on the coach! haha...

so i love it when the plans go the way you think/hope they will... but when the stars align against you and no matter how hard you try. . . . they just don't match up!

this is where the flexibility i mentioned above comes in handy!

say the car breaks down and you were totally planning on going out of town.... great! now what??

it's not like the car broke down (again)... but it seems like we have to get a little creative lately.

example: jarom's birthday--car stops working (ok in this example it did....) & mom gets stranded at WinCo. we also can't go to the movie cuz it's totally full. hmm.... well, at least he only had don over. they ended up playing apples to apples and stuff --while i go to rescue mom & freeze our poor tootsies! :( (this was right after work, and my mom had been stranded for almost 1/2 an hour before i got off)

all well.... i guess things could have been worse. i'm not sure if we're really gonna go to logan tomorrow, or just stay down here (again). but whatever. we'll see what happens.

also.... we went to see the Princess & the Frog today! that movie is sooooo cute! i recommend you see it. :) they did a good job. (i love the accents! man, accents are awesome! i like all sorts.... southern, african, scottish.....they're fun)

good nite all!!

new year [at work]....

i spent new years at work.... working. i decided i'd have something to keep me awake. i ended up with a full throttle. i was a little tired for a bit after that (i drank like 1/2 of it around 9 or 10). but after not doing much for a few hours, the energy started to build up. i finished the full throttle at about 12. i was getting a little bouncy.

there was this break dancing competition (that i was NOT in) around 12:30. they had one for teams shortly after the first one finished. we cleaned up the floor and let people back in to skate for about an hour. movies started around 2:15. we kicked everyone out of skate about 3am... they had to go watch one of the movies (i think there were like 4 or 5 to choose from). we tried to clean the rink off some more, then went on break.

we (me, kim, jen and alie) sat around in the rink/diner area for a little bit. then we went up to the arcade. we did some racing games 'n stuff. jen disappeared.... she was off playing guitar hero. kim watched her. so i went off to this shooting game. it's got these ninja things you have to shoot. i got most in one shot and some you have to shoot a few times to get rid of them. and this was the kind where they all start showing up around the same time. it was fun. but that gun starts getting heavy after a few rounds. (i wasn't gonna go play that boxing game i played at the work christmas party. my forearms hurt for a few days after that!)

after we decided we were done with the arcade, we went down to the diner and said hi to alie and jim. then went and skated til people started showing up from the movies that were out. (i think there were like 2 out, and this was around 4-ish). the rest of them got out closer to 5.

alie said that we were all needed. so i could go home. (she gave me 1st choice, cuz i wasn't covering for someone.... kim said she was still pretty awake; she had had 2 MONSTERS... one from the first shift, then one about the time i had the full throttle. so she was AWAKE.)

i decided i'd call my mom and see if she'd answer. if she did, i'd go home. if not, i'd stay. she answered.

see, i thought i was gonna be pretty tired, so i was gonna have her come pick me up after work (i was supposed to get off at 7).

so i waited out back where she was gonna meet me. i called jason and talked to him, while i walked in circles and talked really fast and a lot. i was very awake. jason said he didn't like when i was like that.... lol. he wasn't used to it. when it was closer to 6 he decided he was gonna go to bed... he was tired. i was still pretty much awake. i went to bed around 7, i think.

i slept until my mom woke me up (10-ish??) when she said that becky and ray were there and were gonna be leaving. i should go up if i wanted to say hi before they left. so i did. i was up for about an hour. then i went back to sleep until about 3:30, when jason called. so i decided i should wake up. a few hours later, i was back at work.

it was busier than we were expecting. and about 1/2 of the people there where there that morning.... ggrreeaatt... you'd think they'd be at home sleeping! not hanging out at HC and skating. (crazy people)

so alie ended up on break and i got to be dj. i also got to play a game with them.... great fun! we played the number game.... woo-hoo.....

i told everyone that didn't want to play had to get off the rink until the game was over. people need to learn how to listen... (-_- )

how the game works is everyone that is playing (everyone else should be on the carpet, not the rink) will skate around the rink like normal. i will turn down the music and call a number. the number(s) i call will have to get off the rink... unless i say that they are the ones that stay, and everyone else gets off... but usually it was that they had to get off. then i turn the music back up and have them skate some more until i call the next number(s).

so i do this a few times and i keep telling them they have to get off and stay off until the game is over. now there is this hindu guy that is usually there on fridays. he's not playing, but hanging out by the dj booth, talking to me while i play the game. he said that they weren't listening..... yeah.... *sigh* so finally i'm like "if your out and your number was called, then you HAVE TO GET OFF THE RINK UNTIL THE GAME IS OVER" they just sit there. so i do it again. i call #1 (i'm drawing the numbers from this bucket thing)... and all these people just sit there. i turn the music back up. they just stand there under #1 (the numbers are on the walls). they just stand and stand... not listening. so i finally leave the dj booth and skate over to them. i say that their number was called, they have to get off the rink. they say that they're not even playing the game. i was like, so why are you on the rink? you need to get off. they stand there like idiots. it's like, seriously, get off the rink.... they glare.... one girl calls me a b***h.

that's IT! i yell at them to get off the rink til it's done!!! NOW!!

so they finally scoot off the rink.... ((hallelujah!!!!) this guy, the one by the dj booth, is laughing... (-_- )

i finally finish the game. they can get back on. the winners were at the booth. i was not very happy with those other people. i was like (to the winners) thank you for listening... *sigh*

the sad thing is that the people i had to yell at were maybe my age? the people that would listen were younger!! WTFH?!?! can i just smack them now?

alie gets back from break and i tell her about how i'm not happy with the stupid non-listeners. she laughs and pats my arm.... ( -_-)

seriously.... i hate stupid people. why can't they just LISTEN?!? grrrr....... >:[

and now i get to go back tonight. i really hope i don't have them there again.... that would be really nice... ;)
