Shopping fail

I posted a couple hours ago (find it right HERE or possibly below) and told you all how I had no food (and no life) because I'm not at work cooking/eating pizza.  Fortunately, I've gone grocery shopping since then!!!! :D

I wasn't even going to go.. I was actually planning on starving all night just so I could remain lazy, but I discovered a Redbox movie that was a couple days overdue and I was very determined to return it before 9:00 before they could charge me more money.  That's how I ended up at Walmart, buying things I don't need.

Here's what I bought:;:;:

• 2 boxes of cereal
• 1/2 gallon of milk
• Yogurt
• Diet coke and lemonade (not pictured because I didn't feel like carrying them inside)
• Applesauce
• Weird orange Mexican soda (??)
• A chocolate bunny

Wow, that's a shopping fail if I've ever seen one.
I guess the cereal and applesauce and stuff is normal, but I don't even really know why I acquired the orange soda stuff.  Umm.. I don't know.

I think that whenever I go shopping then I go into some sort of magical trance that looks like I got hypnotized by Kaa from The Jungle Book or something.

 

 And then I walk around for a good half hour and add things to my cart, regardless of their relevance.

Today I added wine glasses to my cart.  It took a good three or four minutes for me to realize that,
1) I don't drink wine,
2) I don't have money to spend on wine glasses, and
3) I have absolutely no reason to ever need wine glasses.
So I put those back.
LJ fail.

As for the beautiful chocolate bunny pictured, I have an actual explanation.
Chocolate bunnies are probably my second favorite food in the entire world, right after ice cream.
They're lousy though, because I have to wait all dang year to be able to eat them.  So from February 15 until a week after Easter, I cram those little things down my face like it's nobody's business.
He looks a bit like a horror movie bunny in this picture;;

 

Here's me destroying him!!!  Muah ha ha! >:D

 



He was tasty. :)
If I were not a poor little college student, I'd buy a chocolate bunny for everyone who reads my blog! :)
If I were super duper rich, I'd buy a chocolate bunny for EVERYONE IN THE WORLD!! :D:D

Have the best day ever.

Skittles sickness :/

Hello, blog readers.
I'm in my epic (not) PRT class right now, and we just finished a fun (not) scavenger hunt about campus recreation.
I'm a bit sick (probably because I've eaten like 5000 calories worth of Skittles today!!) but besides that I'm fantastic. :)

I have a pretty epic day of work coming up, consisting of a sleepless night of cleaning and non-stop pizza making, so I will definitely tell ya'all all about it.  Knowing that this is coming up is making me dang lazy though... it makes me think "I need to offset my all-night cleaning extravaganza by sleeping TONS right now" even though that won't help me out too much.  Blehh.

I think I need a pedometer.
AAHHH I just looked up pedometers and they're way more expensive than I thought they were.
LOOK HERE.
Hopefully they make crappy cheap ones at Walmart, cause there is no way I'm paying $30 of hard, pizza-making labor for a pedometer.

I am really enjoying my new job and I work with a bunch of cool people, so that's great!! :)

Why am I still eating Skittles if they're making me sick??  Cause I'm stupid.  LJ fail.

Have an awesome evening.

My name is LJ and I'm a clean-aholic

Hey, bloggers.

Here's today's dilemma::
I like to clean things.
Like, um, a lot.
I'm actually a SUPER messy person, deep down.  After the bachelorette pad gets all clean then it looks like a tornado hit it within a couple days.
But when I'm unhappy or stressed, I want to clean everything in sight.
There are some days that I clean the bachelorette pad (sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, sanitizing everything in sight; the whole shebang) and then I do it all over again the next day for no real reason.  Or some days after I've finished cleaning pretty much everything, I try my darndest to find new things to clean.

There are 2 reasons that made me realize that this cleaning thing is a problem.

1. As you may remember, I started my new job on Monday.  I spent most of my shift cleaning things, which is fine by me and appreciated by my less-clean-loving coworkers.  But today, I caught myself thinking something along the lines of "I can't wait to go back to work tomorrow and clean the store some more..."  Dead serious.  And then I was all like::

 

 

2. The toaster.

 

This ^^^^^ is my toaster.

I bought it from Walmart for about $8 when I moved, before I realized that I don't really like toast and it was not a good idea to buy it.

I have used this toaster exactly twice.  Once for toast and once for a pop-tart.

I have probably cleaned this toaster about 8-10 times.

Wow.

I suck.



I should stop cleaning my feelings.

Thanks to the amazing 3 people who followed my Twitter today. :) {{especially @MariahMelena}}
I forgot I had it, but now I'm using it again.
So 10 awesome points go to anyone who follows @TheSeussProject on Twitter. :D

Thank goodness for modern medicine

Good morning, blog readers!
Oh gosh, it's not morning.  I'm just bad at waking up on time so it feels like morning....

Today is the first day of my new job. (except I'm gonna be doing exactly the same thing that I did at my old job and the job before that...)  Hopefully it'll go well and nobody will think I'm a weirdo crazy person, ya know?
The worst part about starting my job today is that I'm still sick.  My voice was so friggin' ridiculous when I woke up this morning;;; I almost recorded it and posted it on here so all ya'all could here how funny I sound when I'm sick.
However, I was quite convinced that my new coworkers wouldn't think my sickie frog voice was as cool as I thought it was, so I drove to the grocery store and bought some DayQuil and Mucinex and those mad me feel way better.
Thank goodness for modern medicine.

So yesterday I was just laying around all day trying to get better, so I looked like crap and my whole bachelorette pad was messy and gross.  [[And I drank 13 cans of soda!!  Gross....]]  I was just hanging out in an old tank top and my undies cause I thought that nobody was home and it's not like I was getting out of bed too much.  But after a while I had to get some more tissues, so I went to my bathroom to grab a new box.  When I came out, there was a RANDOM HOT GUY IN MY BASEMENT!!!  And I freaked out.  I didn't know how he got there or if he broke in or if he knew my landlords or what.  And I was in my undies (not cute ones haha) looking like I got hit by the sickness train.  I had absolutely no idea what to do.
I had a deer-in-headlights moment, but after I recovered from the shock of it I ran back into the bathroom and pulled on some pajama pants.  Then I went back out and he explained to me that he was my landlords' grandson and that he was there to look at the water heater.  So I pretty much had a freakout for nothing, but still embarrassed myself pretty well.

I am a liar :(

I have a confession.
I am a horrible person.
And a liar.

Here's the thing.  I first thought of doing BEDF (Read all about it by clicking this here link!) a couple weeks ago.  But then on Friday I was way busy.. I accidentally slept in and then had to hurry to shower and pack and drive the 73.3 miles from the bachelorette pad to my parent's house.  Then I was just busy all day, and in the evening I went to work at Brigham City Domino's and I didn't manage to get home until like 12:30 in the morning.  By then I finally noticed that I was supposed to write my first BEDF post, but by then it was February 2nd so I made an angry face and went to bed.

About half an hour ago I remembered the little schedule button thing.. one of the amazing things that Blogger has to offer.  It looks like this::

 



And at that moment I realized that I could cheat... that I could make it say that I'd posted on February 1st and 2nd and save BEDF from dying on its very first day.
So it's actually Sunday the 3rd of February that I'm typing this, however the blog post will say that this post was written on Saturday and my first one was written on Friday.

Dang honesty.  Well since the schedule button is awesome then I intend to use it to cover my shortcomings.  However, I will give you the LJ guarantee with this::
If I, for example, miss posting on February 16 and you visit my blog on Feb 17 and see that there is no post for the 16th yet, (therefore catching me before I can write a post and pretend I wrote it on the 16th) I will give you a special prize!!  Which I haven't thought of yet, but when I think of one I'll let you know.  But it'll be cool, trust me.
So, yeah.  If you happen to catch me cheating, then email me at theseussproject@gmail.com and I will hastily send you your prize.

I dearly hope that I get better at this and that I won't need to cheat any other times.
But I am a flawed person. :/

Have a super amazing Groundhog Day. :)

Gym fails: extended edition

Gahh why do I have to be so out of shape?!?
I finally convinced myself to go to the gym, but I only ran 2 miles and then felt way yucky and went home....
Hopefully someday I'll get better at this dang gym thing.  But for now Ima go take a shower and head to school.

This is how my shower is gonna go.. :D

**

School and then work.  Gross.  I haven't slept all freaking night.
<3/Me

**Credit goes to the artist at THIS SITE for aforeshown insightful shower comic.. thank you, Sir.

Reasons why LJ's a fail: Gym edition

January is almost done, so it's safe to say that most people have pretty much given up on their new years resolutions.  I wish I were so lucky....

Here's the thing.. I resolved to go to the gym more often in.. um like.. early November.  So this doesn't count as a regular new years fail -- it's far worse.  And starting then I began setting my alarms for 4:30 AM in hopes of going to the gym in the morning.

I've been to the gym twice since then.  Twice.
Wow.

The first time I went was very un-fun, so for the next few days I made up excuses to not go.  For example: "my gym clothes are dirty," "I can't find a sports bra," "I need to save my energy for my epic work shift tonight," "I haven't shaved my legs," and a bunch of others.
And after a few days I completely forgot the combination to my new lock, so I didn't go for a long time.

Eventually I bought a new lock and went again, and that was like a week ago.

Today I am finally going again!!!!  But of course this involves its own fair share of LJ fails.  Here they are:::

1. I keep being dang proud of myself for getting up so early to go run.  Except that I didn't.  Really I stayed up all night and listened to music and watched the new Footloose and Charlieissocoollike.  I did try to go to sleep for, um, like 45 minutes in there somewhere but that got boring.  So now I've condemned myself to a horrid day of grouchy tiredness and caffeine pills.

2. Remember that new lock I bought?  Well I lost it.  I spent the last half hour looking for it (it turned out to be hiding in the back seat of my car) and then I realized that I forgot the combination to this lock too!!!!  Except that I remembered the first and last numbers.. I just forgot the middle one.  So I sat here for a while like an idiot trying lots of possible middle numbers until I figured it out.  Stupid lock.

3. I'm also failing at going to the gym because I let myself sit down on my cozy bed and write on my blog instead of getting dressed and heading down there to run.  So now I don't want to get up.  And if I don't get up soon then I'll fall asleep or convince myself to watch Napoleon Dynamite instead of going to the gym.  So I'm gonna go.

I hope that my failures make you feel better about keeping/not keeping your new years resolutions. :)
Have a super fun day.
