Hello Tiffy!

Ok… Just kidding… Sometimes joking about death is not funny but seriously I am sooo scared about this flight on Wednesday! I just need to stop thinking about it…. well that was easier before I heard about this story which a place slipped off of the runway into a ball of flames! Ok, luckily no one was killed but that is sooo not the point.

In other news, we had snow here in Austin last week, it was freakin amazing. I have pictures to upload but they look just like white dots… still lots of fun and I was in awe and shock! Completely beautiful! Oh, it was like, flakes that melted before it hit the ground, so it was not like a winter wonderland here.. but it IS Austin, TX we are talking about. I think it deserves mucho recognition.. actually, I believe it was featured on CNN a few times the day after.

I got my hair done red last weekend, it is so cute… it took a few days to start liking it because it was such a big change! I also got a cute side part with some of those side wispy bangs. I am trendy ya know. Actually, I did this mostly because I am totally going gray! I will save that bitch session for another day.

Oh, I must tell you my new computer is keeping me warm at night…. I received an early Christmas present from Jay and it was the World of Warcraft expansion… how did he know? So I have been grinding and wasting away any free time that I get but unfortunately I will not get much free time for a while after the holiday. I do not get PTO at my job so I am missing 3 days of work and that means no money…. I am going to be doing a lot of Overtime when I get back to make up for the lack of money… which means less playtime.. boo. However I have felt like a lazy lazy lazy person lately, that is what being a geek does to you….

I am thinking about starting the South Beach Diet after the new year, a co-worker is starting it and I am like well why don’t I give it a try. I think it sounds decent, but no alcohol or sugar of any kind for the first two weeks. Also no bread I think, it is pretty restrictive. Meat and vegetables are good most of the time but you know the best part is the potato! Which I can not have.

So anyway, Weight Watchers really DOES work but I found my biggest strength from the diet came from within my close friend Angela and basically when I moved away I stopped being on track. My hope is if I do South Beach with my friend Mary then the fact that we are both on it will inspire me in the same way. So, I will let you know. In the meantime, I will drink beer!
