Is anyone else a complete and total office supply addict? I can’t live without them. Notice my last two blog entries. A new stack of post-its (which was necessary, as mine had run out and I can’t live without them, seriously) and a new notebook, which I’m using as a food diary. I’ve written everything down so far today, so I’m proud. I’m trying to limit what I’m eating, but my goodness is that a tough task! I’m hungry. It’s probably just because I am writing it down and know I haven’t eaten a lot. I’m trying to think of which healthy snack to try. Maybe the yogurt.

I’ve never really been a fan of yogurt. I’ve bought it a few times and never really been able to enjoy it. However, I’ve decided to try it one more time. This time I’ve bought a small package - single serving! I’ll probably turn it into two servings, but it’s worth a try. If I like this, I might try more. It’s a healthy snack, of course!

My feet and ankles are itching like crazy! I went out to Jane’s last night while Matt was watching the race at home. After sitting outside for a bit, we headed in, but not before the mosquitoes had a tasty treat - my blood! I’m itching like crazy now. I’m thinking I’m going to head out to Superstore to buy some treatment to make it feel a bit better. This would drive me insane otherwise! I need to try and get a new battery for my scale, too. It hasn’t worked in months, and I prefer a digital scale to the other one at the gym. Easier to be more accurate that way!

I went out to the gym yesterday after I started feeling incredibly depressed. It felt good to be there and do a quick weight circuit, even though I’m not sore today. I might just go again today when I go to Superstore. Might as well, right? I suppose I’ll see when I get there. I kinda want to go to Superstore soon, but it’s only 10:00 and the gym doesn’t open until noon! Anyway, about the gym last night. I decided that I wanted to talk to them about my free tan that I got when I signed up for my membership. I filled out my profile card, but realized I forgot my lotion, so I decided to go back another time. Turns out she filled out the card with not one, but two free tans, which is awesome. THEN she said I could borrow her lotion if I wanted and that I can just go in with that and go back for my two free tans later on. So that’s three free tans, no paying for lotion… What a deal!

Less bored today, but only slightly. After Matt got off work (I’m already loving this new regular schedule thing), we spent a couple hours here and then went to Lawtons and Walmart. I had to mail off a few things and Matt needed some new pants for work and we needed a few little things between us. It was nice knowing that we had so much time after he got off work - I seem to lose track of time so quickly now that I’m not working. It’s frustrating. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have a day drag on and on. Isn’t that weird? It’s some sort of housewife time warp thing.

I reinstalled GuildWars tonight. No clue why. Just felt like it, I guess. I still haven’t gotten the hang of the damn game. The camera drives me insane, though, I know that much. It’s too “swingy” - it keeps going when you rotate and it… I don’t know. It’s hard to explain. Anyone have any tips for me though? I’d sure like some!

Tomorrow is my cleaning day. I still haven’t put away my laundry from yesterday, and I have a bunch more things to do. Nothing too serious, but enough to keep me busy until Hyjal tomorrow night.

• Laundry away
• Bed made
• Clean my desk
• Clean Matt’s desk
• Take out bedroom trash
• Take any dishes out of the bedroom
• Clean up closet - it’s a disaster from Matt looking for his racing wheel
• Clean up the floor, put away all the junk on there
• Vacuum

Since I’ve been at this point in the blog writing process (seriously, this very sentence) for over an hour now, I’m going to leave you with this, showing how I celebrated Matt starting his new job today. Congratulations honey, I love you!

On a whim the other day, Matt and I decided to make a trek over to Chapters and pick up some books. He got some geeky ones, I got some girly ones.

I’m in the middle of Remember Me right now and I’m loving it! It reminds me of Samantha Who? in a way. Fantastic show, by the way. I’m a fan of shows that are either narrated (like Sex and the City) or have mini-titles (like this one!). Anyway, back to the book. I’ve got all of the Shopaholic books and the Undomestic Goddess so I had to have this one when it came out. I waited a bit and got it for quite a discount! On top of that, each of the other four books (all Red Dress Ink, by the way, my favourite kind!) was $4.99 with a 10% discount! Go go bargain shopper! It made up for Matt’s fancy programming books (which I may use someday myself!) that I don’t happen to have a photo of right now.

Right now my head is killing me, but I had to blog. Why, you ask? This is why:

For the first time in over a week (Yes, bad, I know…) I went to the gym today. I did a body jam class and some weights. Not a lot, but enough to get me through. I didn’t count calories today (I should have, but forgot) but I will be starting to track my food again tomorrow. I’m thinking about getting up and doing just a body flow class to get myself going again. Not to mention I’ll be able to see the trainer I’ve visited lately and it’ll make me feel better!

As a reward for going to the gym today I bought myself a small box of raspberry herbal tea. It was a small splurge (only $2!) but it’s delicious! I think I’ll have a glass of that along with two carrot mini muffins for breakfast. Yum!

My workout today was:

• Body Jam (1 hour of dance/cardio - exhausting but fun!)
• Lower Back: 4 reps, 100 lbs.
• Leg Extension: 4 reps, 70 lbs.
• Leg Curl: 4 reps, 70 lbs.
• Leg Press/Squat: 4 reps, 90 lbs.
• Seated Row: 4 reps, 55 lbs.
• Chest Press: 2 reps, 35 lbs.
• Shoulder Lateral Raise: 3 reps, 25 lbs.

I skipped the cardio I’d normally do (15 minutes on the treadmill) because I was so exhausted from my class, and I skipped a few weights: bicep, tricep and abs. I’m okay with that, though. For over a week off and being sick, I think I did pretty well!
