Me gusta Taco Bell.

I can come to the conclusion that there are two types of people in this world. There are those who love Taco Bell and there are those who won't admit that they love Taco Bell. Taco Bell is one of the greatest gifts that God has sent us. I love that I can order 6 things and it's about 2 bucks. The best is when you have ordered 6 things and only 1 drink (so it's quite obvious that this is for 1 person) they ask, "is that all?" IS THAT ALL!! I love it! Someone who understands my compulsive overeating!!


So I want to know....which type of person are you?

Quick Update

I posted a couple things today because I know you have all fallen into depression for my lack of blogging. Here's what's new:
-started Beth Moore bible study. I'm really going to try to go to hear her every week and finish this one.
-have decided that 2008 is not as bad as I thought it was going to be
-quit Taco Bell. That lasted about 12 hours before I gave in to my cravings
-volunteer with an after school club called "Young Astronauts"
-after school Reading Club called "Name That Book"
- tutor after school on Mondays for 5th grade
- tutor after school on Thursdays for 4th grade
- got a class pet
- Stanford testing ----is over! YAY!
- www.shamrockmarathon.com Who is with me??

What was I thinking?


Our class now has a class pet. A gerbil. It's a love/hate relationship for me. Sometimes I think that she is really cute, but most of the time I think she is the most disgusting, obnoxious, smelly, repulsive creature in the universe. Her favorite thing to do is to run in the wheel in her cage at excessive speeds. Normally, she adheres to her natural nocturnal tendencies. But some days she is up all day. Running in her wheel. She also likes to transport all of her food into the wheel so that she can eat, run a lap, eat, run a lap and so on. She could be somewhat of a genius or she might just have exercise bulimia. Nevertheless, she has gained some weight recently most likely due to her compulsive eating during workouts.

YMCA

So I workout at the Y and I found a few newly posted signs in the ladies locker room very amusing.

"Do not use shaving cream in the whirlpool.
Do not use hair dye in the locker room.
Thank you for following these rules."

There were about 5 of these signs posted all over the locker room on the mirrors. And you know that this was written because obviously someone broke these rules. You would think this would fall under 'common sense', but I guess it needs to be stated. But here's what I want to know....
When did shaving your legs in the whirlpool become an option for you? Were you in the hot tub and looking down at your hairy legs and thought, "gosh, if only I had my razor...because NOW would be a great time to shave my legs." And hair dye? What was the thought process for that one? Gosh, I wish I had time to dye my hair. Oh, I know. I'll just do that at the GYM.
