I am currently in the Cougars Den at school, waiting for my next class to start. I've got a little over two more hours until it starts. I might make a stop to my car for my umbrella, it looks miserable outside. My dad warned me that it was going to pour around 8PM which is when I'll be walking to my car. I should have just grabbed it when I left for class before, but the weather channel said it wouldn't be a high chance of rain until around 10PM. I'll have to see how my legs are holding up, I'm not sure I can make the walk to and from my car three times today. It really looks like it's going to rain though, maybe it would be best to go get my umbrella, or I'm going to be soaked for work.
Megan and I have started working out! I could not be more excited, I believe that it's going very well. We started on Monday morning and we have been doing Pop Pilate's, we also went for a run yesterday. Today is our rest day, mostly because I have class from 11AM-7PM then go to work until 3AM. I hope I'm not to tired to get up and work out tomorrow morning! Now I just have to work on drinking A LOT more water and starting to eat better. I had Cheerios's for breakfast and I just had a black bean burger for lunch. I thought it was so tasty! It was basically a patty made of white rice and black beans. I also had a small portion of sweet potatoes fries with it and now I'm a little stuffed. I just hope I'm not going to be starving when I get to work later because I wont be able to eat again until midnight. Maybe if I'm hungry I'll get food if I stop at Dunkin Donuts for some coffee before I go into work.
I have finally finished all five books in the Song of Ice and Fire series, I can NOT wait until book six comes out!! The last five books were amazing and I have high expectations for the next two. I just hope that they come out soon! I have moved on and I bought The fault in our stars this morning, I haven't started reading it yet, but maybe that is what I will do when I get finished with this post. I do have a couple of hours to kill. The next couple of books I plan on reading are all so short (300 pages) compared to the Song of Fire and Ice series (800-1000 pages). I'm going to breeze through them, which I need to try not and do because neither me or Mike can afford to be buying me a new book every couple of days.

Spring 2013!
The spring semester started on Friday, and I have only had one class so far, but my first full week starts today. I don't know how I feel about this being my last semester of school ever. I guess it just hasn't really hit me yet. My classes are going to be hard this semester and I know that I'm going to have to work my ass off if I want to finish with a bang! I think I'm going to aim for straight A's, but like I said, my classes are going to be hard so we'll see what happens.
I spent my entire day yesterday making candles, and I still have so many orders to fulfill. I only made one Ice candle for my boss and he wants four, they just take a lot of time so I can't really do more than one in a day unless i literally spend the entire day making them. I'm going to make one today, and continue on Thursday and Friday. Luckily the other three candles he wants all have the same color in them so today I'm making a triple batch of cream so all I have to do is remelt for the last two candles and they will all be the same color. I think I just used a little too much wax, oh well, I'll just turn it into a candle for myself if I have a lot left over. James (my manger) offered to pay me $10 a candle, which is cool because that's $40 I didn't have, to do something I enjoy doing. well I enjoy it sometimes. Next week I have to make more candles for my aunt, and I made the mistake of showing her a layered candle I made from left over wax from other candles and now she wants one with the same colors but in a jar and not a votive like I made. Darn, not that I think about it, I should have sprayed mold relese in the glass container I have the wax for the other two candles in. Oh well, it's glass, I'll stick it in the freezer and it will come out.
Five more days until Megan comes home! She needs to come home NOW! I can't work out with out someone else with me or I can't stay motivated. I really need to work out!
I've got four and a half hours until I have to leave for class. I need to finish the candle, I need to do laundry because I need to wear my work clothes to school tomorrow, and I need to clean up my room a little bit as well as read my book. I'm 56% finished, and I need tobe 100% finished before the week is over or I'm going to have no time to read because I'll have homework to do.
It's 24 degrees outside right now, it's fucking freezing. Meh.

Playing house wife.
My mother is in the hospital right now, she's fine but they don't know what is wrong with her. She's staying the night and in the morning she is going for a stress test and an echocardiogram. I'm sure she'll be okay.
Since Mike was coming over for dinner, I had to find something to make! I chose to make a cream cheese stuffed chicken recipe that I found on Pinterest. I'll link you tomorrow when I'm not laying in bed updating on my phone. I've never beat chicken before, or fried anything in a pan, but I believe that dinner came out really good. I also made red beans and rice as a side. As I was in the middle of making it, my dad tells me he has to bring my mother some clothes and food to the hospital. He left before dinner was ready so it was just me and Mike alone in my house. That is something really rare, but I really enjoyed it.
It was the first time we have had dinner alone at a kitchen table. We watched How I Met Your Mother while we ate and he helped me clean up after. Then we we t upstairs and watched The House at the End of the Street. It was actually a really good movie, I didn't see the end coming at all.
It's two in the morning and I can't sleep, probably because I won't get off my phone. I love watching Mike sleep though, he always looks so peaceful. I love him so much.
I should probably get some sleep if I want to get anything done tomorrow. I guess it's time to read Dance with Dragons until I fall asleep.

First run in months...
I haven't gone for a run since September 4th, and it was only once a month before that starting in May. As much as I love running, it freaking BLOWS!
I did 5K on the treadmill, I walked most of it actually, so I quess I sould say I walked instead of ran.
I want to try and use the treadmill more, so I set a goal on Nike+ to run two times a week for the next three weeks. I believe that is a very reasonable goal and I really hope that I sick with it.
I am currently eating rasin, date and walnut oatmeal as my post workout snack, yummy.
I can't wait to get in the shower!
I feel bad for my Louie right now, his face is shedding and its bothering him but he can't get it off himself.

Not my day..
Why do I keep doing this to myself?! I have gotten NOTHING done in the past three days. NOTHING!!!!! Everything that could go wrong today, is going wrong.
Tomorrow is the day that I was supposed to have everything done for, and you know what the only thing I will have accomplished is? Cleaning my room.
I have spent the last couple of days laying around playing Sims and sleeping the whole morning away.
I was going to make my aunt chocolate covered cherries today, but the chocolate store is going out of business and she didn't have any milk chocolate left. I wasn't about to drive to Cranford just to get some. I don't have time for that.
It's already one o'clock, which means I now have three and a half hours before I need to start to get ready for another long night at work. I made decent money last night, I was there from 6PM-2AM though. I really would like to find a 9-5 job where I know I'll have a steady paycheck and not have to work late into the night where I'm also not positive I'll make a lot of money.
Next semester is going to be hard when it comes to working. Mike knows that I need to start working more so that we can afford to move out in the summer, but with night classes is going to put a strain on things. I could work after class, but that means that will be four days in a row that he doesn't see me and it's probably going to add more stress that it would relieve. I can't work mornings at Fox though, it just isn't worth my time to work for 5 hours and make $20, if I'm lucky.
I could try a store in the mall, but that would probably require me to have to work weekends, which is something I really don't want to have to do. The weekends are really the only time me and Mike are going to have together next semester.
Update on my car: It ended up needing a brand new battery, which I don't understand because I JUST got my last one the summer before last. I seriously hate my car sometimes, it sounds like it's falling apart and it probably is. I've already had to fix/replace so many things.
I guess it's time to start cleaning my room. Hopefully it wont take me longer than an hour. It's just my desk and my dresser that I need to clean off. The only problem is that I have no where to put all the stuff, that's why it's there in the first place! I'm also thinking about getting a night stand and lamp, that will give me two more junk draws!

Hello 2013...
We're already off to a hell of a start!
I know I didn't update on Monday like I said I would, but I spent the whole day cleaning my room. I thought that was more important.
I had planned to go running yesterday, as well as start to eat better. Neither of those things happened. To make it better, I woke up this morning and my car wouldn't start, AGAIN! I'm getting very sick of this car! I have so many things that I would like to do tomorrow and now I have to use my dads monster of a pick up truck in order to get them done.
Today is my lazy day, I slept all morning and played Sims all afternoon. I plan to continue. Maybe I'll go to the store with my parents.
Tomorrow starts a new day and I WILL get things accomplished tomorrow and Friday:
