Weight Loss Challenge.

So, as many of you know, my husband and I are a part of Mesquite's Weight Loss Challenge. Thus far, we are experiencing amazing results. I've lost approximately 6.4 lbs, and Elijah's lost just over 8 lbs. I know I have a long way to go, but I'm excited that I'm on the right track. I'll be update you all from time to time.

Back to schoo, back to schoo ... to prove that I'm not a foo...

Back to school I go...

I'm very, very excited to begin my Bachelor's program. I'm well-rested. I'm organized. I'm ready to be educated. Bring it on, UOP bitches! (Sorry for the curse. I kind of had to.)

Thank you to my family for a fantabulous Christmas. It was stinking awesome.

I love you all.

Peace, love, and bologna.

Hollywood Undead, Part Duece.

More pictures from the concert! I had a blast!!!

Hollywoood Undead, Baby!

As those close to me already know, I love the band that is Hollywood Undead. Their music is so unique, so different from anything else I've heard. Last night, after months of painful anticipation, I finally attended their concert. Words cannot describe just how much fun I had. They are one of the few bands that are better live than they are on an album.

On a routine trip to the restroom, Tatyana (a very cool chick and one of my favorite people) and I just happened upon one of the members of Hollywood Undead, Deuce. (Thank you, Tat's bladder!)

He was the most humble famous person I've had the opportunity to meet. I have to admit the encounter rendered me a bit of a dork, but I'm very glad I had the opportunity to meet an artist whose work I admire so much. I'll be posting more pictures ... soon!

I have a degree!!!

Attention one and all! I now have an associate's degree! Wa-hoo!!!

My final grades just came in ... all A's. I'm very proud. And excited.

Where are you, Christmas?

I love Christmas. I mean, I love Christmas more than the usual Joe. In fact, my dad confirmed that I love Christmas even more than, well, him. I love the decorations. I love giving gifts. I love being with family. Heck, I love egg nog.

This year, though ... well, this year I'm having a tough time finding Christmas.

I see so much sadness in the earth. So much pain. So much hate.

Finances are preventing me from giving really righteous gifts like I did last year.

Perhaps you all can help me find Christmas this year ... share some stories ... remind me of the reason for the season.
