habbaguudaye!

So opposite from my wonderful finance, I have not been working out. I've been thinking about it. Thinking should burn maybe a calorie or two, so that'll have to do for now. In the meantime, I will continue my omg-i woke up late- i have no time to make lunch- I'm late for work- visits to good ol' Mickey Dee's. On my most recent rampage through the drive thru, I learned some new lingo from my mexican worker friends. As I was taking my goodie bag from the lady, I said thank you. Then she said, "Habbaguudaye." I said, "sure." I waited because i thought perhaps it was a new sauce or something of the likes. Then she closed the window. I drove off and after repeating it over to myself out loud i realized that she was saying, "HAVE A GOOD DAY." hee hee.

I'm gonna PUMP you UP!

Tonight I began my road to total fitness! I went to the athletic club tonight and I participated in an exercise class called 'Body Pump'. They estimate that you will burn 800 calories in one hour in this class. The only thing that was going through my mind the whole time was the fried okra and chicken strips I had eaten for lunch. We started out with a 10 minute warm up and after 10 minutes, I was already breaking a sweat. Then we moved on to squats. It was the squat routine that made me regret ever eating anything in my life. Then we moved on to chest and back areas. As i type this, it's a little hard for me because i can feel the tension in my back. Cheli thinks i'm exaggerating but i really do think that even my hands will be sore tomorrow..I'm serious! THEN we moved onto biceps and triceps and I am not lying that my arms wanted to say in an L shape when I left the gym. I'm not joking. I can just feel them right now wanting to go back to an L. Then we did probably the hardest part of the workout which is the lunges. I wanted my mom to carry me to the car after that. SO I'm pretty tired. I AM going to be sore tomorrow. But i have promised myself that I'm going to get in shape for the wedding. And it's true what they say, "No Pain, No Gain." - Aaron

I feel like throwing up

i was on youtube and i was watching this video where the camera was being jolted and jerked around. now i feel all queasy. i know that this happens to normal people, but I'm especially susceptible to this kind of stuff. i get motion sickness fairly easily. i have NEVER been nor will i EVER get on a roller coaster. i get sick when looking up towards a tall building. i get sick when i look down out of the window of a tall building. i think i heard someone say that my dad had motion sickness issues like that. maybe my mom, uncle benji or uncle joe can verify that for me. ugh. it's a gross feeling. i feel like eating cereal but i'm scared that we'll have a clean up on aisle nine.

FREE FOOD!!!

Go to Denny's tomorrow for some free chow! You know I'm gonna be there fo sho!

UPDATE: I'm tired. There's no way I'm gonna make it. Tell me how it went.

What Size Am I?

We went to whataburger for dinner. If you've been there, you know the drill. You order, they give you a cup, you get your own drink. Well I was doing just that when my dad walked up. I didn't know what size drink I had so I asked my dad, "Dad, what size am I?" Dad looks at me over his shoulder like he's doing an estimate. "I mean...what size drink do I have?" You better believe I corrected myself before he could answer! Ugh, my dad is so.....dad-ish.

Icy roads!!!

Today the roads were very icy! I take three major highways to get to work and all three were pretty bad. My 25-30 minute drive took a little over an hour. I saw several people that slid off to the guardrail and were waiting for help. It can get pretty scary, especially when the crazies out there think that ice is no big deal and are speeding all over the place. I think that tomorrow morning won't be as bad.....hopefully.

I took this pic while driving to work...JUST KIDDING!

HELLO WORLD!!!

ahhh! it's been a while hasn't it? well alot has probably happened, so i won't try to recap, but sunday night i flew back from a weekend of being in corpus. it was a lot of fun hanging out with aaron, his parents, and his church family. they've already got a class lined up for me! (and no uncle benjy it's not for the WM's!) Aaron translated the pastors sermon from Spanish to English in the morning service for the first time ever. He did a very good job if i do say so myself! Last time i was there was the Sunday after Christmas when they announced that Aaron and I were engaged. After the service Aaron had me stand at the door along with him, the senior pastor and his wife and the youth pastor. I was kinda hoping that i wouldn't have to do it again because 1. we're not married yet and 2. it's so awkward for me. So after the announcements, the pastor asked someone to dismiss. I knew that once that person started praying, that the pastors would start walking to the back. Aaron was standing on my left. As soon as the prayer started, I closed my eyes so that I wouldn't make eye contact with him. I tried to furrow my brow to look like i was praying intently. Then i felt Aaron lean in and heard him say , 'come on, lets go'. I said, without opening my eyes or lifted my head, "me?" Aaron said, "yes". I said, "right now?" Aaron smiled and said yes. it was so aaawwwkward. people were smiling at me like, "who in the world are you?" one lady said, "pastor, es dis jur wief?"

oh me, oh my. at least he took me to eat at La Playa.
