i've been here for years. womp womp.
just been busy. "for almost an entire year, mic?" uhm, yes sorry :/
...well too busy to update this thing, but i promise to do better.
main reason i really couldnt update was 'cause i didnt have internet access at my place in pilsen. i didnt have a tv or internet for about 1.25yrs til i moved. and i survived. anywhoos...
quick catch up for the folks that actually read this:
1. i moved out of the pilsen suite and into le chateau edgewater in the beginning of september. home is where the heart is. i love it.
2. i stopped eating beef/chicken/pork in april 2oo9 and stuck to only fish and i was being a really unhealthy "vegetarian" 'cause my diet mainly consisted of carbs, cheese, and carbs...and some veggies and tofu, but mostly carbs and cheese. then i relapsed in the beginning of october 'cause my mom made pasta and meatballs. but these were special meatballs, there was melted mozzarella cheese in the center of the meatball!! so i had to have one. so i just ate one. then a few days later i ate some chicken from wendy's and seriously had a wake up call with the food i was putting into my body when the yuckiness was reflected by the ish coming out of my pores. pimples. not fun.
so 3. im back to not eating meat, chicken or pork. we just bought a rice cooker/food steamer, so cooking will be "one touch" away...minus the prep time, but much healthier than ordering in all the time. and i bought a couple hun'ed bucks worth of books on vegetarian/vegan eating. i dont think i'll be able to be vegan. i like buttery things and yup, you guess it, cheese. but maybe i can give that up once i read these books front to back. idk. im aiming to live a better, healthier, and more compassionate life. be kind to animals kinda thing. if chickens can talk, they'd tell you that they aren't nuggets. poor things.
4. i plan to invest more time at the gym in preparation for 10.10.10: the chicago marathon 2o1o. yikes.
5. i got a couple books on organizing and time management. two things that will definitely make my world a better place. and i got rid of a bunch of clothes, shoes, bags, books, papers and people that were cluttering up my life. did i say people? yessir. i did. 'cause i dont have room for negative thoughts, feelings, or people in my life. not anymore, thanks.
6. in a few months im going to be 30 years old. it'll be my golden birthday. im mapping out another 5 year plan and this one looks good! im going into this one with more determination, inspiration and concentration (and whatever other positive '-tion' words that apply) than i did with the 5yr plan i made around the time i was 25yrs old. wow, so much has changed over 5yrs.
7. i hope to go to school soon. that's on the list.
and 8. LML. i Love My Life.
that's it for now :)
