Still more rain here in Salem. It has rained all day for the past 2 days, and it's not supposed to let up any time soon. 2 out of our 3 main parking lots here on campus are completely flooded- cars were towed today. This is what the main lot looked like today (got this pic from a friend, don't know who the crazy girl is, or who made it)

So yeah. It's a lake. And I'm unhappy. I hate being wet.

Spring bugs me sometimes

I'm happy that it's spring, for sure. We've had some nice weather, there are crocuses in our front yard, and I've already spent a nice day out reading in the sun.

However, springtime makes me uneasy, too.

I hate rain, and it's supposed to rain all week. Rain makes me cranky. I hate having the bottom of my pants wet, and I can't sit through 4 hours of class in my rain boots. It makes me not want to walk to the gym, and all I want to do is curl up on the couch with hot chocolate- and both of these things do not help me toward my weight loss goals.

The rain sucks.

Also, with the rain and nice weather come those lovely friends of mine, the house centipede. I had a house centipede problem last year when I first moved in to my current apartment, and I'd take spiders any day over these suckers.

If you don't understand what all of the fuss is about, watch this and then try to tell me I'm a baby.

These disgusting bugs are fast, they can crawl on walls, and they hang out in the place where you're most vulnerable- the shower.

And they love it when it's warm and wet out. Hopefully I move the hell out of here before they come back.

Also, i have a twitter account now, and I'm trying it out for fun.

Ahh what has happened? I abandoned my blog for a while. And I'm doing so again, right now, because I need to go study for a Geology exam.

But, alas! I shall be back more frequently, I hope.

This might turn in to my journal as I keep track of my calories and exercise, as I'm trying to lose 40ish pounds by May.

I'll be bahck!

I am finally home for Christmas...and I feel like I have a ton to do. I definitely have a bit of last minute shopping to do, and tonight I'm really really wanting to make some christmas cookies, though if I want them to actually taste edible on Christmas, I should probably wait until at least tomorrow...

godiva update

Well, it's been a little over a month since I bought my Godiva shampoo bar from Lush- and it's still going strong! I'd bet it's about 2/3 the size it was when I originally got it..meaning I'll get 2 more months out of it?! That would be fantastic.

I also invested in their American Cream conditioner tonight. I ran out of conditioner and I'm slowly trying to replace all of my products with Lush ones, so I went for it. $8.95 for a pretty small bottle- so we'll see how it does.




I also got a generous sample of 'Rockstar' soap, and purchased a $5.00 block of Angel's Delight holiday soap...it smells like fruit punch. I needed something fruity, because the only soap I've been using is 'Vanilla in the Mist' (also from Lush, of course) and it smells very rich and sort of like a baked good. It's delish, but kind of heavy so I wanted a light fruity one. I definitely got that with both Rockstar and Angel's. Can't wait to put them to the test tomorrow.

The picture posted is of Angel's Delight. Very pretty soap.

Sooo...Bethany and I are going to Bermuda on another cruise? Ummm YEAH we are!! It's pretty awesome when you have a Grandma who is a cruise addict and loves the company of her Granddaughters!!!
