Chicken Fingers

Tuesday night, Mackenzie and I were watching the newest episode of Community. This episode either mentioned or showed chicken fingers in every damn scene. Mackenzie was hungry, so he kept giving the food face and saying things like, oh that looks so good! So, Mackenzie said he would be making chicken fingers for dinner. So, yesterday, Mack and I went to the store and bought all the ingredients. He made a huge amount of chicken fingers and even fried zucchini. It was good and I felt much better after eating. I did my Slim in 6 workout which is such a good workout for cardio, but mostly for the toning. It has been a while, and I don't know why I don't use it more. I think that now I'm in better shape, so I could tell I could do it easier. But, I can still feel it. I feel much better and can tell I've lost some weight, which is pretty easy for me as long as I don't pig out and I workout. I swear I'm either gaining or losing weight. I just don't have the body type that maintains my weight well...maybe when I lose a little more weight I will.

Bowling High Score

Yesterday, went to the MU for the bowling tournament. A coworker brought baby powder and that stuff works like magic. I bowled my best game! 152. I got 96, and 141 on the other games, so had a good average. I think we were better than last year. I am a better bowler than last year. I bowl pretty straight now, but I wish I could do a slight curve to avoid those splits. It was a fun time. A lady bowling next to us injured her finger. Went home to work out. And, much to my delight this morning, fitting into my skinny Levi's. I love these pants when I can fit them, hate them when I can't. I am determined to fit these jeans from now on, and working to fit my skinny level 3 jeans. These are skinny level 2. This is my new rating system for my jeans. I got my fat jeans, then skinny level 2 (I have about one or two of these), skinny level 3 (my nice Levi's), skinny level 4 (Express pants and American Eagle), and skinny level 5 (the really skinny American Eagle pants). Get this: all of my jeans and pants are the same damn size: 6. It's just the cuts are different! Most are the same kind, low cut, some are mid-rise. But, not all sizes are the same. This is why it sucks for women to try on pants. The size means shit. We have to know what pants fit, and if we go to a new brand, we have to try them on. I got jeans that are meant for people with no ass or hips...and I can fit them, but it's not that fun since it pinches at my hips and butt. Let me tell you, all women have their fat pants. It depends on the time of month too. It's annoying, and always a fight.

Ok, enough on the jeans. Today, guess what, I'll be working out because...why? Oh, to fit my jeans perhaps?

Trying to be good

Ok, so, for some reason, I suddenly have this itch to really know what is going on in the world and be educated and spend more time on important matters and literature. I think it's good to be educated, and sometimes I feel overwhelmed about world affairs and think there is just too much to learn or keep informed about. But, I got to look at my priorities and change things if I want to be more informed/educated. For instance, I look at a lot of crap throughout the day. TV shows that are entertaining, but have no real value and websites of the same sort. Entertainment is important, but I can also be entertained with better things. I think I'll start looking at the world news more and reading more non-fiction or at least fiction with some value. I'm reading The Help and it is talking about the early '60's South and black and white issues. That is good stuff. The key is to rearrange priorities, so that is what I'll be doing...and see how that works.

Today is windy and rainy, so it's a sleepy day. I'm tired, but at least still awake.
