Two Days, One Post

Yesterday I wrote half of an entry and then decided not to really post it because it wasn’t too long. But today I guess I have enough to say that it will be worth it. Yesterday I worked and it totally sucked, and was absolutely one of the longest shifts that I have worked in my entire life. It took forever and I was beyond ready to get out of there. Once I did get out, I picked up David from his friends and we went over to my Grandma’s house because the entire Kempker-clan was in town and visiting, as they do every year after Christmas. We rotate where we meet every year, and this year it was at my Grandmas.

Today I woke up, grabbed a shower, and then went over to Jacqueline’s to have breakfast/lunch, which is PBJs, of course. Now I have to say there is no better day in the world than one that starts with me waking up and going over there for lunch, and the fact that I get to do it again in a few hours is awesome. I am pretty darn excited. It is our last day of break, which does kind of suck, but being a senior in second semester helps a little bit. I know it is going to fly by, I am just a little nervous about my two new classes, speech and trigonometry. Not really sure why I am, I just get nervous about changes.

Anyway so after lunch we ended up playing the Sims 3 for a few hours which I bought the other day, and we made each other and had a baby and all that Sims jazz. Then we dropped the car off at my moms, went to Gordmans (where there was nothing unexpected), and back to her house for chili. I ate all the beans, which is a personal record, and I am pretty excited about that. Then we went to Wal-Mart for stuff to make Banana Surprise cookies, which ended up tasting delicious. As I typed that sentence I realized I left mine at her house, which is a total bummer. But as I said, I’ll be there again in the morning, so all is good.

The Rams lost the last game of the season, just a side-note. Not that it matters, but when I read this again a long time from now when the Rams are no longer in St. Louis, or a team at all, I can remember that I was a fan until the end.

As for weight watchers, today I felt absolutely great, but that’s because I ate every meal with Jacqueline. When I do that I have no choice but to eat right, and I learned a lot hanging out wit her and eating all the meals with her. We went to Shop N’ Save tonight and I bought turkey and bread and an orange to make it through the next few days. The 10 days that I spend at my dad’s house while my mom is in China are going to be incredibly hard, but I will have to come up with something. Also I have to come up with a lunch plan that I can stick with when I am at school. Eating right and not a lot there is definitely hard, but it is going to be difficult at first.

Also, just to add, I did call off work tonight because the crap on my foot is incredibly bad. My appointment is on Thursday, and I am so nervous and scared to hear what the doctor says that he has to do. But at least I am getting it fixed, and at least I have the most amazing girlfriend to take care of me while I am recovering. I may have to miss my first day of school on Friday, which would be weird/exciting. Also, there is about a 5% chance of a Snow Day on Thursday. I do capitalize Snow Day because they are as important as anything, by the way. I take them very seriously.

Anyway, I am ready for bed, and this is really all I have to say. More tomorrow. Night.

Work, Work, Snow, Work, Snow

So after sleeping for a few hours I was awake and back at the Bead Company for a 5 hour shift this afternoon. Luckily I ended up getting out around 4:30, so that was pretty nice. Work is one of those bitter-sweet things that you absolutely hate doing at the time, but every other Tuesday when that pay check comes around it makes it all worth it. The next check I get will be one of the biggest that I have ever gotten, and it’s the first of 2010, which is pretty exciting.

Work went well, and not too much happened. One of the girls I work with spent her entire 3 hour shift on her phone texting her friends, and I worked my butt off, and I think that’s why I got out a bit early.

It has snowed once again, the third time since we have been on Christmas Break, which is absolutely crazy. I kind of wish it would of held off for school, because there is nothing I love more than a good ol’ snow day. But the way we have been getting it lately, I have a feeling we will have a ton in the next few months.

Jacqueline is on her way to pick me up as I type this. We are hanging out at her house tonight and watching movies. Perfect night. Just wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow morning. At least we have Monday off of next week as well.

Weight Watchers is still going good. 16 points left on the day, except I have had 3 PBJs between two at work and the one I just had for dinner. I don’t want this to turn into a diet where I only eat one type of food. I need to come up with some creative ways to stretch the points, and I know Jacqueline will be able to help with that one. I will probably take up the remainder of my points on a delicious strawberry dessert that she made for us last night.

Anyway with a little less than half of my points to go I am feeling good, and I am migraine free, which is always nice. I also need to find a way to get some more lean protein in my diet. Eating good and the right thing is definitely hard to do at my dad’s house. But oh well, I am going to have to come up with something. That’s it for now. Peace out.
