not sure what to talk about

hmmm...

not sure what to really talk about. so i guess i'll just ramble about different things. raj often does this, just mentioning random things together [like buying a new umbrella]. so, here i go...

-my mary kay lady came over yesterday. i really want to become a sales lady. i dont plan on making it a huge full time thing. i'm not aiming to earn a car or anything. Just something i can do here and there as people request it. i just need to get andrew to agree. considering he's the one that will be watching erica when i this, it is important that he's okay with this. he doesnt want me to pressure friends/family into buying stuff that they dont really want; he thinks that they'll secretly resent me. so, my solution was to promise that i wont approach people in a pressuring way, or hand out brochures to make them buy something. i'll just let them know that i'm a MK Consultant now. if they truly are interested, then they'll approach me about it. sound good?

-i'm doing weight watchers. it takes a lot of guts for me to admit this online to everyone. but i really need to lose the weight. so far, so good. i officially started monday. i'm following the "flex points" program. i have 26 points a day that i can eat, but each week you also have some flexability that you can go over a few points. so, over thanksgiving i can enjoy the meal instead of completely refusing the turkey and stuffing. Anyway, i've been doing good. its a bit hard, b/c since i cook meals, i need to calculate everything. But its really not too hard. And since i eat a lot fiber, it makes things lower pts than regular foods. [we use whole wheat in most baking, and whole wheat pastas, and brown rice.] Anyway... On the one hand i feel better already, just knowing that i'm doing this and committing to it. On the other hand, i've been SOOO grouchy, and i think it may be b/c i'm hungry a lot of the times.

-today erica and i are going over to see clairissa. that'll be fun. so, erica is taking her nap now so that she's rested for the afternoon.

-i need to go grocery shopping! eek! we're running out of stuff to eat. and i need to make more carrot pancakes. we just ate the last of the pumpkin pancakes, so i really really need to get cooking. i dont know when i'll get around to it. maybe tomorrow. hmmm...

-I LOVE SUDOKU puzzles. [i recommend doing them on paper instead of on the computer. your eyes start to hurt after awhile, from concentrating on the screen.] i have a book of puzzles. one night when i was working on it, talking to myself and really concentrating hard, andrew said: "it cant possibly be that hard." we we decided to race. at first, i was really making sure to check everything i filled in, to avoid mistakes. then i got too self-confident and cocky, and decided to just run with it. Well, i made a huge mistake and couldnt figure out where it was. urgg... But andrew never finished his either. apparently, its harder than he thought.

okay, thats it for now. i have mary kay papers to read through.
