No Bad Luck For Me–So Far

I think this is the first Friday the 13th ever that something bad doesn’t happen. It’s actually been a pleasant day!

Woke up, took a shower and had my bowl of Special K (with strawberries!). I’ve gone on the Special K diet (since Wednesday I think?) and have already lost a lb.! Woo!

We took our “Before” pics at school for the contest. The whole class watched as we pulled our shirts tightly around ourselves and showed our lard. I won’t dare post those pics up here, but I will post this one:

I don’t think I’ve ever put up a pic of “all of me” in all the years I’ve been blogging, but here it is. Yes, I’m short and stout. With big boobs.

After taking the Before pictures, Pepe (who’s camera we were using) wanted a group picture, so we took one. Not all of the class is in it, like a few girls from the other side, Joe and Ricci (who was absent). I’ve got a new pic for my scrapbook!

Speaking of, I need to get a few (okay, A LOT) of pictures printed and I’m thinking of going with either Walgreens (first 20 prints free!), Walmart or Target. Has anyone had any experiences with these stores and how was the quality of the pictures? What’s best: picking up in-store or delivering (they charge shipping, huh?)? Your input would be GREATLY appreciated !

We got our Business Communications (or, English) finals back and I got a 106! I was having so much trouble with the Participles and Perfects but I only missed 2 in that section! I was so sure I was going to bomb that part, but I somehow understood it . I can’t wait to find out what I passed the class with.

I accompanied Mayra to Party Universe and Hector’s Health Store after school. Mayra hadn’t had breakfast and my cereal was wearing off so we stopped at Taco Bell. Silly us thinking they had salads, heh. We had a salad alright, the one that has beans, ground beef, sour cream, cheese and all this other stuff. It was so sinfully GOOD. I was going to have my cereal tonight since I didn’t have it for lunch, but we’re going to Jorge and Maggie’s for Jorge’s birthday and we shall surely eat there. I vow to be un-gluttonous.

When I got home Mario was in a great mood and so was Jaylen. I had playfully lied on top of him and ended up falling asleep there until we had to pick Eenan up from school. Mario drove, thankfully. I’ve been so tired lately–it sucks!

Terry stopped by for a visit after we picked Eenan up. It was so nice seeing him. He’s still as funny as ever. We talked about our pets and about people and just caught up on everything. We asked if he’d like a kitten, but they’ve got like, a zillion of them already.

Aren’t they cute? I think Daisy’s the one that’s missing from the picture. We’re keeping the white one. I still haven’t found a name for her. It has to be the perfect one.

We’re leaving soon, but before I’m done I’ll leave you with an article John showed me. It’s totally unbelievable!

Cy, short for Cyclopes, a kitten born with only one eye and no nose, is shown in this photo provided by its owner in Redmond, Oregon, on Wednesday, Dec. 28, 2005. The kitten, a ragdoll breed, which died after living for one day, was one of two in the litter. Its sibling was born normal and healthy.

Read the whole article here. It’s real and just, creepy.

I think you and I have the exact same body type. Exact. Speaking of this, where do you buy your jeans?

I print my pictures at www.winkflash.com and have had good luck with them so far. They ship from (I think) Rhode Island, but they ship SO FAST – I usually get them within 2 or 3 days and I live in Portland, OR. And they’re cheap, too, which is awesome. 😀 Only .99c shipping regardless of whether you buy 2 photos or 200.

I totally forgot that it was Friday the 13th! Actually, I had been out sick the beginning of the week, so it didn’t even feel like Friday. 😀 It’s definitely a good thing that nothing bad happened. Oh gosh. That’s what all the buzz was about the one eyed kitten. I caught a brief glimpse of the picture on Yahoo! and thought it was hoax. How sad for the kitten.

hey babe congrats on losing the pound! i am also obsessed with the special k with strawberries (it’s my breakfast every morning!) the kitten with the one eye, how sad. 🙁 it died shortly after birth. it’s weird the way things happen.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. 🙂 It really brightened my day!

Special K with strawberries is AMAZING. Like, seriously. I could live off that stuff…which is probably why I never lost weight on their diet. I would eat the entire box in one sitting. 😀

The kittens are SO CUTE! 🙂 P.S. Cy kitty is just…wow…That’s special.

Yep, you and I have the same body style. You’re a little thinner than I am. I look like I’m about to topple over in my pictures for some reason. Anyway, you look great as you are, but I know how awesome it would feel to be your old self again. I’m trying too. Working has helped tremendously. So good luck with that! And Awww @ the one-eyed kitty 🙁 pobrecito.

Hey, well you look great to me! Anyways, I really hope that you win so that you can look better and won’t have to lose any money!

Ew that kitten! How do you dare post a cute pic of the kittens and then that one? LOL.

The white kitten is gorgeous. I was going to ask for it… 😉 *If only.* Actually, if I lived close enough I’d ask for the light grey one because you’re keeping the white one. What are you naming him/her? So cute anyways. ^_^

I find the little Cy cat cute, maybe because it looks so helpless! Poor ‘lil thing.

I’m a little taller than you, but quite a lot stouter!!
