i did it!

made goal by June 1 - lost 75 lbs!!! where's the bikini? LOL!

i ordered a digital camera from HSN, so i will post pictures as soon as it arrives.

i totally advise to buy a treadmill for the convenience to workout at home. And videos tapes. these are the sole reason I dropped 75 pounds in 5 months. Consider ordering fitness products like Power 90, Slim in 6 (weeks) or the Slim Series via this website - Amazon at Beach Body. It is my webpage that I will update soon. Use code SSNSA to get free shipping (savings of $14.95!!!).

to have a personal trainer to pop in the DVD and view at anytime is a wonderful thing.

to your health!

Personal Habits, Quirks, Routines, etc

1. Do you prefer silence or do you like background sound (music, TV, etc)? background sound
2. Bathe/shower in morning or evening? morning
3. Sleeping in complete darkness, or with a nightlight on? nightlight
4. Lay out clothes the night before, or just grab what's closest in the morning? grab in morning
5. Hang up/fold clothes neatly, or just toss them wherever? hangup clothes
6. Work out at a gym, or at home on your own (or do you not bother with exercise)? at home
7. Talk on the phone, or via IM/e-mail? talk on phone mostly
8. Are you usually on time, or late? l-a-t-e
9. Spendthrift or frugal? frugal
10. Thought-Provoking Question of the Week: You work with someone who is not in the habit of bathing regularly. The smell seems to be getting worse and worse! Would you: 1. try to do something about it, or 2. try to grin and bear it? If you said 1, what would you do? let them know plant fabrics (linen, cotton, and ramie) naturally control body heat and absorbs odor. The body’s cooling system is unique and shouldn’t be altered.

getting tired of eBay


a seller forgot to ship a CD to me, even after i paid the same day the auction ended. i'm really getting fed up with the whole thing. shipping costs are high. but i've found some good deals.

ok, maybe i'll quit after i win this auction for these Gotex boots. shhh, i'm going to bid at the last minute....

for those of you who like tall heels (at 5'10" i do flats), check out Cherry Avenue.

how did this happen...

Kim be a smart hip chick on Moesha, into a bumbling dumb blonde on the The Parkers?

worst pick up line

i was walking to my apartment with a basket of clean laundry. looking fly in my black Levi shorts and new KSwiss sneakers.

guy: i’m a millionaire.
ME: huh? what did you say? (i couldn’t hear him clearly)
guy: i’m a millionaire. i own a lot of apartments around here.
ME: *i have a blank look and then start walking. we exchange some light conversation – and i jet into my locked building*


do men really think women are this shallow?

foreign movies

i absolutely love foreign movies. even with the subtitles, i fully enjoy them. i usually follow a particular director and watch a lot of their films. i plan to see some of Michelangelo Antonioni's films next.

Raise the Red Latern by director Zhang Yimou is my favorite to date.

tornados R us

wow! i had tornados a few miles south of me one day, and a couple of miles north of me 2 days later. for those that lose family or property, i always think of Job and what's happening in that person's life...

some of the same people who lost a house or business in the biggest tornado ever recorded that we had in May 1999 lost it again this year. that's interesting. i know of someone who lost some of their things that are planning to cheat the insurance company. karma, karma, karma. also, to have another tornado 2 days later on the other side of town...could they have been talking bad about the group who had already been hit twice? something to learn in all this...

interesting idea

so if they put labels on fast food with the calories and fat content, will it reduce the level of obesity in America? the same guy who is responsible for having the warning labels added to cigarettes, and ads removed from TV is pulling to have the information on burgers and fries.

we'll see. both my parents stop smoking around the time of the cigarette change...

The Media Edition

1. TV or radio? TV - visual is very powerful
2. On the radio: talk or music station? music, mostly
3. Actual books or books-on-tape (or e-books)? audio books are really nice.
4. Actual newspaper, or web version? i like the actual paper
5. Wall Street Journal or National Enquirer? hmmm, i haven't read a National Enquirer in a while, but would instead of the WSJ
6. TV news...news channel such as CNN, or your local broadcast news? CNN - give me a world view
7. A movie you've been looking forward to seeing gets bad reviews all around. See it anyway, or pass? see it anyway - i seldom accept the opinions of others, although there is one critic that seems to agree completely with me
8. See movies when they first come out, or wait a few weeks for the lines at the theater to get shorter? depends on the movie - i have gone to pictures the first weekend to show support, and then there are those that i wait to check out of the library
9. TV: cable, satellite dish, or just plain old antenna? cable
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: If you had to choose only one form of media to come into your home, which would you choose...print (newspapers, magazines) or electronic (TV, internet)? Why? Internet - it has everything I need from the others listed, including their business sites.
