updates
life is going great! i’ve been staying pretty strict with a workout routine. just something everyday if i don’t have time to go to the gym. making healthy choices and now its like i just crave healthy food! its helping a lot :) but what isn’t helping is the face that i work at an ice cream parlor…oh gosh. well i’ll move past it. :) valentines day is tuesday - i’m so happy and lucky that i have a wonderful man to spend it with. school is eh…but all of my classes i want to learn more so that is better than nothing. Amurica and Gimpy (my hermit crabs) are also doing well, and i did my laundry today!! overall..lovin life and fresh smelling sheets :) also, the countdown to 21 booze thing is pretty time consuming…i’ll get back to it asap.
relay for life 2012!!
even though its still 77 days away, i’m already so excited for relay for life 2012 (at St. Thomas). i hope that one (or some) of whomever is reading this would find it in their heart to donate to team “got hope?”. the link is at the and of my post and its a $5 minimum. any contribution would help and just incase you didn’t know, all of the proceeds go directly to the American Cancer Society and nothing to the participants, its just RIDICULOUSLY fun :) i hope you can donate!
