WOW-
Subway Fit Fresh kids meal is the poo! They even gave me a cute little bag to take it home in.. (pictures to come when I have patience to post them).
As far as the phentermine goes I have this to say... yesterday I was totally sped out and it was pretty awesome all morning b/c it wasn't the kind of speedy feeling that makes you crazy.. however.. after only one fiber bar at about four I started feeling like crap. It was pretty terrible.. I don't know if it was the lack of food or the pill or what but I walked into subway after work and hurled.. I made it to the bathroom though so that is good news.. (side note: the bathroom in the Greenbrier Subway is quite nice) then I felt fine.. SO what did I learn from this lesson kiddos, TO EAT even if I'm not hungry.. hence the kids meal. So when I got home I ate the Subway and felt way better and at the end of the day my friend the scale said that I had lost 2.4 lbs so all in all it was a good day. So far today things have been better.. not so much speed and I ate the fit and fresh for lunch even though I wasn't hungry. So I am hoping that I won't have a repeat subway incident.
I am also going to let you in on a little secret. All those years that I worked somewhere else I wished and hoped for snow... I was dumb.. B/c even then there was some schmuck like me working through the crappy weather. I am in the "first line of defense" if the power or cable goes out in town so if things get really ugly i could be looking at up to 16 hours of work straight. I loaded my jeep down with the necessities... Feather blanket and pillow, the cushion from my papason chair, extra clothes, make up, a book and OF COURSE a TV show or two on DVD. I decided that the bigger deal I make out of it the less likely that anything will ACTUALLY happen. I suspect that all the bread and milk buying will be a wasted effort on most peoples part but if you buy into my theory then the long lines at walmart will do me a favor. As most things in Arkansas weather is something that you can NEVER count on.. EVER...
Tonight, as a percassion, I am going to stay the night with my sister or mom and hang out. I just called her to see if she would go get her nails done with me since she is starting her new job. She said she isn't sure if nails are still "in".. To be honest, I'm not sure if they are either, or if they have been anywhere else in the country for a WHILE now.. BUT they make me feel pretty so I still get them. We'll see what I can talk her into doing.
Ciao for now babies!!!

weight, houses, and other ramblings
Alright! So, for all of you who read my last blog... here goes with my update.. and some randomness for your reading delight. I started taking Phentermine today.. aka speed that is per scribed. I'm hoping that It will help with my little weight issue. It is what my sister took and she looks GREAT. Surely we have to have some of the same chemicals so my hopes are high. If I look like a total bad ass next time you see me... that's why. bahahaha.. That is my plan. Badassness. To go with this badassness, I purchased myself a bathroom scale.. The ENEMY. If you don't have one, you should start a relationship with one soon. This will let you know just what the difference is between a salad and a chicken fried steak. It even tells me ounces.. The scale and I have a weird relationship. I have to tap my foot on it first to WARN it that I am about to load up and find out what it has to say... as if it is screaming at me to GET OFF of this poor plastic device I am standing on, it tells me my weight in pounds and ounces.. This is the relationship that we have.... I am wondering if the voice of the scale will change as I start to lose weight. It sounds like a big scary man right now.. and he is a little of a red neck. I'm hoping that it will sound more like Hermione from Harry Potter when this is all said and done. Who knows...
I also started a relationship with another inanimate object. This object doesn't say a thing... It's Crest White strips. Most people dislike having to do stuff like this, BUT If getting rid of my mustache was this easy then I would be in heaven.. Man I sound rough. ha ha.. OK, so it isn't a mustache, it's peach fuzz, but still, something that doesn't belong. Being a woman is such a PAIN! I have to shave everything on my body.. and now Margo tells me that there is a new trend of teenage girls shaving their ARMS! What the hell is that! Are they all swimmers or is this another terrible thing that women sat themselves up for. I DON'T WANT ANOTHER THING TO SHAVE!!!!!! but I certainly don't want to be old woman river who has HAIR ON HER ARMS. hahaha.. like mom jeans or something.
Another thing that is going on in life is this.. I want to get back to Conway. I talked to Timmy the other day and he said that he doesn't think he would like moving out of state. I NEVER knew this. I always talked about it and he always seemed fine with it but when we REALLY discussed it I realized that he might not be happy. So I told him that I would really like to either move to Fayetteville or Conway b/c I am so tired of not being able to go and do. I would like to join a gym but haven't been able to b/c I don't want to drive back to Conway everyday.. Just little things.. like not being able to stop over at my sisters house and stuff like that. SO we contacted our lender. He may tell us that we should wait. I don't really want another starter home in Conway.. If I move again I want a house that has some space. Although I could probably buy a house and live in it for a year and flip it. I do like to work on houses and upgrade them.. some of these homes I see just REALLY need someone who can decorate.. I realized this while searching for one. I did find a house in Marlise Manor that I really like.. It has double ovens and an island with a stove in it and some of those built in plate slots in the cabinets... the real kicker is that it has a separate dining room and nothing would make me happier then to have a dining room table so that I could have dinner parties. My current table only seats four and that is no fun! I want to have TONS of friends over and eat at a long table and talk and drink wine all night. I wish this was a possibility. Even if not now though.. some day it will be and you will all be invited.
Anyhow, I will keep you updated on this stuff as I have decided to use this as a sort of journal entry. If you get bored with it then you can start skipping post.. but it's out there.

lb's to go... not ready to tell anyone how much I have let this get out of hand :)

Happy new year!
What a good thing Spiced cider is.. Sooo freaking good. I have decided that a hot beverage in the morning is the way to go in the winter time. I have also decided that the way to go on this whole new years resolution thing is maybe to put it in writing... If I do that then I may feel more pressure to stick to it.
1. lose weight and still be healthy!
2. go through my house AGAIN and get rid of stuff I don't need and make it look like I would make it look if I were selling it... (why shouldn't it look great for me)
3. be more independant... I got a new car and so did Timmy so my plan for 2010 is to keep my independant streak going. I have been trying desperately to live more.. or as my sweet heart of an american idol cousin says.. "Live like we're dying" hahaha
4. Be better at pool... not just ok when I have had several drinks... but decent when I am sober
5. Don't let important friends (like Mel) fall to the way side b/c we forget about each other.
6. See the ocean (I know how pathetic it is that I haven't been... please don't comment about how you can't believe it and you are so surprised and I am a loser)
7. Let my hair continue to grow out.. and when it gets really long get it dyed professionally to look like Claires on six feet under.
8. use all the features on my new iphone.. most importantly... answer it. hahaha
9. keep my toenails painted
10. hmmmm.... I think I will leave this one open so that in can (insert good things here)
xoxo.. Love to all and have a happy new year... I will keep you posted on how these things are going. I have a feeling about this year...It's going to be a good one!

Happiness
I wonder sometimes if anyone is really happy. I wonder if happiness is in the eyes of OUR beholders... not THE beholder. Do we really decide if we are happy or is it the reactions of others that sway our perception. I think it is the faces that our friends and family display that tell us if we are happy.

Hmmmmm... Letter to myself. Good Idea Jesslyn and Melissa!
Dear Eleise,
I love you and I want to be around you but you are not one of the cast members of Gossip Girl. There is nothing remotely big city about you, you don't have high society money or friends with limos. You don't have the body of an 18 year old out of a romance novel and... of all of these things.. the most important.. you aren't in high school..You don't live in Forks, WA under a near constant cover of clouds and rain with Edward. It is also important for you to realize that you don't go to Yale with Rory Gilmore and you aren't the quirky mother of a 16 year old that you are best friends with.. That ship has sailed. You are 12 years past the day it left.. You aren't doing Magic with Harry Potter or being seduced by Clayton Westmoreland in 18Th century England. You aren't going to fashion shows with Samantha or helping Carrie decide what she wants to wear to the big premier.. Dexter isn't targeting any of your "less than perfect" acquaintances.. King Henry the XII doesn't want to seduce you into having your love child so that he can take it away from you and put it in it's own estate where the clean the walls once per day. You didn't recently get a job working with House M.D. and you aren't going to get to go explore strange people houses with that hot Australian doctor, nor are you helping Nurse Jackie get pills out of the new (fake) pix is for her habit. You also aren't selling WEED with Nancy. Above all else.. Clark and Chloe don't need your help to get the kryptonite out of Smalleville. You aren't hunting Ghost with Sam and Dean and you certainly aren't having sex with Tony Soprano on top of any desks.. you are what you are.
One day when you are tired of pretending to be all or any of those things and you are finished TALKING about having a baby and actually take steps to have one you will find out who you are.. one day when you aren't sitting on the couch next to your husband who is also sitting on the couch you will be out living with said husband the way that you want to live.. you will be romantic and thin and happy and you will be you... not the perception of who you are watching or reading.. you will be the person that you want to be instead of wanting to be the person that you want to be. You are awesome.. and I love that you like to read and watch TV. I love it b/c if you weren't obsessed with being a bossy, cooking, cleaning, and no it all fanatic then you wouldn't be you.. lets face it... you like you and you don't want to change.. you just want to be more of you and less of a zombie. So in short... I love you.. and I miss you.
Love, Yours!

Every Two Weeks!
I was thinking about things that make me happy...all things relate back to one day every two weeks... What's that day you say??? PAYDAY! Not that we are in some sort of financial destitution.. We have money in the bank most of the time, However.... every two weeks... every other Wednesday the magic day comes along when we have PLENTY of money. Enough money to think of a fun thing to do and go do it... Do we want to go to Memphis? Do we want to buy shudders for the house? Do we want to go to walmart and buy tons of crap that we don't need? Do we want to go have a date day in Little Rock or have people over? I like the idea of being able to do what I want and have a big option, ONCE...every two weeks.
I'm not saying that everything is about money... but it sort of is. I really like the idea of being able to buy what I want when I want it. I also like the idea of being able to do fun things with friends and family.
On the flip side of things I don't absolutely hate being poor. Timmy and I have had some of our most fun evenings that included cooking a whole chicken (2.25) or eating spaghetti (3.00) and watching something stupid on TV and laughing.
One of the things I really like to do is cook and plenty of money means I can spend what I want on any particular meal...
So, While it's not all about having plenty of money, it is all about money. Sometimes even the fun that comes with the lack of.
The moral of this story.. It's Tuesday night and tomorrow is Wednesday. Woo Hoo.. The world is my oyster.... or at least walmart is. :)

Hair and BC Powder!
I don't know if it is the 22 oz's of diet Pepsi that I downed it with or the BC Powder itself... It could have even been my freshly straightened red carpet ready hair but it is freaking amazing! I was having one of those late mornings where I left the house with half dry hair that closely resembled dread locks and no make up on... I got here and made some time to straighten my hair and watch Felicity and now things are really looking up! I added a little eyeliner to my "car job" that I had done on my make-up. I don't know if it is the caffeine or the hair but I do know this... Things are great so far today! I will update this afternoon after the buzz wheres off and let you know how things are going then! (You should know that I have already written this post once but somehow in the process of adding my photo it got deleted. ) Not that I am generally a negative person but in most cases I would have given up on passing on the good news of my shockingly awesome combo of things that have made my day bright!
