Countdown til the end of Feb.

I hate cardio. Like hate it. That's why I zumba. It makes me cardio. So, I went yesterday and just did weights...more precisely I did legs. After about a zillion (not really) lunges, my ass feels like I fell off a horse today. Then, like the smart chick I am, I did abs, too. So, I feel like I got in a fight...and lost.

Also, MAC. I use their makeup. I feel like it's too heavy... Not so much the foundation powder, but the eye, etc. Here's why.. it's not that it looks heavy when I'm going out. But, when I try to make it lighter for the daytime, it just looks like I slept in it from the night before. It's just not "fresh" looking. So, I'm taking suggestions...at least for eyes. Also, a good undereye concealer por favor. A friend suggested Aveda for eyes! This excites me! I think I shall try. :))

I believe your body tells you what it wants.. like chocolate for example. ha! But, seriously...my body said "I want milk" yesterday. I HATE milk even more than cardio. But, downed a glass like it was nothing. What?! Anyway...listening to my body at the grocery store. My Sunday pastime. (I also bought oreos. Whatever). Trying to eat better, though. I'll let you know how long it lasts.

Also..pretty sure I heard gunshots outside my apt last night. Why? Well, it was kinda "BAM....BAM BAM BAM".. (long pause..like long enough to make me think it wasnt gunfire) Then, police sirens. Jennifer and I are thinking of renting a house together. Neighborhood recommendations are welcome.

Finally...and most importantly...Aaron is taking the California bar exam tomorrow, Wed, and Thurs. Please think good thoughts.... Just for him.. His favorite quote:

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.

"Citizenship in a Republic,"Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910. Theodore Roosevelt.

You've got this, A. ;)

i effing hate cardio too. yes, and i mean HATE it with a passion. i also hate milk, just thinking of chugging a glass--kat style--makes me want to vomit. your body must have needed it, for real. i wish when my body needed cardio (like always, right) it were as easy as putting down a cold glass of titty liquid.
