New Things

A few new things:

1) New newphew as of yesterday! Hooray! Holland David Watts. Pics. to come.

2) I'm now the proud owner of a macbook. It's taken me forev. to get a lappy, and I couldn't be more thrilled to watch movies in bed, check facebook in class and all the goodness that comes with having a lappy.

3) Since I bought my lappy from a friend and didn't have to spend as much as I thought, I had some money left over to treat myself to some highly coveted Raybans.

4) I'm pretty much obsessed with swimsuits. I have only got one new one for this summer but just about everyday I look at them online, imagining what I would look like in them, how much fun I could have wearing them, and swimming in them. I think that today I may spring for another, I just have to pick ONE.

5) I'm pretty excited about these new things. With my Rayban shades, and new lappy, i feel pretty cool. and just imagine how i'll feel poolside in a new swimsuit with my Raybans.

Nightmares

I keep having these dreams where I suddenly find myself drinking a diet coke. And part of me is like, mmm...yummm... and the other part is totally freaking out! then I wake up and I'm really freaking out because they are the kind of dreams that seem like reality. You know those kind of dreams? Where you wake up and think that it actually happened?

Definitely stressing me out.

So it's been a little over a week since my last diet coke/soda. i was, and still am seriously addicted to diet coke. I was to the point of having at least one every day, and my discount at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory of $1 for the mega-jumbo size fountain drink was definitely not helping ANY.

A girl at work informed me of how bad soda is for you. She said that soda absorbs calcium and that if a person only stopped drinking soda (replacing it with water, not juices) and didn't change any other habits in the span of a year they would lose up to 12 lbs. TWELVE! I decided that I probably need all the calcium I can get because I'm not really a milk person.

To kick the habit I got some of those crystal light water bottle packets and that's not so bad, although I guess I'm cheating since it's not just straight up water, but it's an improvement right?

So far it's been going well, except I find myself constantly thirsty. hmmm.....

In case you've always wondered...

I finally found out the ethnic background of Vin Diesel. I know, who cares? But for some reason I kind of did. I don't know why I didn't just imdb him any sooner, but I did today. Can anyone guess his ethnicity?

He is half African-American and half Italian-American! crazy I know. Also, I hope you appreciate the cheesy picture of him I found. Most of them were pics with his shirt off, and honestly I have to say that I find him awkwardly huge. so here is one that is maybe still awkward, but at least he has his shirt on.
