First off, I told you that I would update you on the progress of the wonderful new diet I decided to test. I reply by saying, "What is this 'diet' you speak of?" Besides being difficult to manage being a college student living on campus, I cant afford the blasted thing. It is SOOO nice to eat popcorn again!
On other notes, I get to visit home in Montana for a week in about a month. Super stoked :D Aside from getting to see my family after nearly two years of thousands of miles of separation (1400 ish) I also get to enjoy the fresh mountain air, take pictures of one of the most beautiful states in the union, ride the bus there and back, and I get to do yard work! Yay me!
The next couple weeks are going to be hectic. School is out on the 13th, week of ministry is this next week and life is crazy.

The Things That We Eat
Today is a Wednesday, and day two of my new endeavor called "No Carb Diet. I know what you are thinking, "Diets never work! They are all promotions and flim-flam. Might have worked for your sisters' uncles' cousin, but hah! Bilge, it's all a waste of time." Well, here is where the rubber meets the road. ... o.O... Anyways, here is where I am putting it to a test.
I can eat all the meats that I want (beef, chicken, fish, beef, pork, beef, bacon...:) ), cheese, butter, veggies, and fruits to some extent, but none of the cheap, quick, delicious foods of a poor college student like pastas, breads, chips, sweets, pastries, and tacos. I must even set my beloved popcorn aside for the greater good. Living in the dorms, eating cafeteria food as well as visiting my friends at the nearest fast-food joints has not been kind to my figure.
Now, I am not saying I am fat (mainly cause I have many kind friends who would lecture or punch me if I said such horrid things), but I am a bit overweight for what the educated call "BMI", or body mass index (if I remembered correctly). My doctor mentioned it too :/
I visited a friend this last Monday, and he has lost, I believe, 15 pounds on this diet so far. He told me and two other friends who were having dinner at his house and the three of us decided to give his diet a shot. Though I have questioned my will power, I decided to stick it out for a month and see what happens. This does not mean I stop exercising, it just means I should start exercising more ;)
On the negative side, no more honey bbq boneless wings every week, or the occasional mocha and bagel at the book store. On the positive side, I get to have bourbon steak every week, snack on cheeses, and all the bunless bacon burgers I can afford. I have also done research and found that I can have half a serving of my chocolate caramel commotion ice cream without ruining my day!
I will update my progress in a week and a half (unless I crack before then).
Random Act of the Day: Took some time to get some pleasure reading done.
Current Contemplation: Why's the pepperoni gone?!
Till another day!

Getting Ambitious
Another late night... procrastinating on homework, and I got to thinking... *scary*
Things I want to do this year (summerish) that may or may not come true:
1: work a lot ... o.O
2: finish revising book one
3: have a Brad Pit movie marathon day
4: acquire half the movies on my "to get" list
5: clean out my room back home (... now where is my teleporter...)
6: sapphire mine
7: take off to Seattle for a long weekend
8: make a series of random music and short videos
9: take lots and lots of awesome pictures (duh)
10: swim in a good Montana lake
11: get my car a FULL tune up
12: go to the art museum
13: explore new antique shops
14: get in better shape (Help! I'm a cube, I'm a cube!)
15: ride a ferris wheel for the first time
16: go shooting
17: be spontaneously kissed in the rain (ONLY by youknowwho ;) )
18: go to a rock concert
19: go watch a play

Wind Advisory
1. I should have left and gone to bed an hour ago.
2. This has been an amazing weekend, for starters. Forget that, it has been an amazing few months. But after a good, long talk tonight... it was slightly depressing: reassuring, and yet I feel like a failure doomed to repeat my mistakes. I still don't know what I'm doing half the time, just holding on by my teeth and hoping to land on my feet... though I find myself walking steadily (to my utter surprise) *whew*. I feel... kind of at peace... but overwhelmingly distressed. Gosh I hate those horrendous mixes! I wish there were no "but"s, no "if"s, no "at the same time"'s. I just want... gosh, I don't want the issues to exist just cause I try to prevent them, cause I feel the need to gourd myself against a repeat in history (cause I am too careful and slightly paranoid? Most likely). I don't want to have to keep reminding, asking, waiting, though I know I should? At least the latter part... but then I end crying like that little girl who broke her arm trying to be like the big kids (oh wait, that was me....). What the heck is the issue? What is it that I keep doing wrong? I guess I am the issue. It is me! Why did I put half of independent Sarah in a box? I am my own worst enemy. Gosh, I have had a wonderful history lesson on how I suck. Lord Jesus, save me from myself! o.O
3. Get a blog. Great way to vent and almost no one ever reads em.
4. I am way to tired to be blogging.
5. There is a wind advisory tonight. Be safe
Till another day! (At a more reasonable hour, with more legitimate things to talk about.)
P.S. Church was WONDERFUL today. The sermon was really really good, had a good time with the youth kids, painted Jesus on the game room wall, and helped teach the youth group about the underground Church.
