Girls Become Lovers

Because I'm so awful about keeping up with this thing, here's a quick update of what I've been up to ...

• I have been doing a pretty good job of eating healthy since the New Year like I vowed to do. I still can't manage to give up the chocolate, but I'm doing it in smaller portions. Little bits. AND I'm logging it all, so I'm fully accountable for everything I put in my mouth. (Har har har ...)
• I've attempted ONCE AGAIN to learn to knit. It's a little less difficult this time! I swear, by next winter I am determined to be able to actually make something.
• I went on a wonderful craft store binge and bought many beautiful papers, stickers, and clay. Now I just need to make stuff with it all!
• The Florida Gators won the BCS championsip. This is good (and not because I'm a football fan). My father's birthday is today, and if they had lost he would be having a very unhappy birthday.
• I decided that I really shouldn't complain about my job at Target. Why? For one thing, I should be grateful to have ANY job at a time when so many people who support families don't even have one. Also, the last few times I've worked Derek has had me work on new projects that are sort of challening and require an iota of brain power instead of my typical "put stuff on shelves and organize said shelves" routine. It feels good! Finally, Target has always been really accomodating with my schedule, and I'm confident they will give me the hours I ask for this summer.
• I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT GOING TO UT! Last night I talked to a potential roommate on facebook, and it was so exciting! It's happening. Wow. 8 months or so and I will be in Austin attending the University of Texas. I can not wait.

And because I know that was probably not very interesting to read ...

Here is the very talented (and very entertaining) Nick Pitera singing "A Whole New World" from Disney's Aladdin. Yeah, that's right ... he's Princess Jasmine too.
