Every Little Thing She
Does Is Magic

As many of you know, I have struggled with weight my entire life, and I do mean entire life. So, recently, I have been really good with packing my lunch every day and dinner on the days that I have to work late. It's amazing how much more money you have when you just buy groceries once a week and not eat out all the time. I was actually able to buy 2 books that I wanted to help me study for a test I need to take for work, which totaled almost 100 bucks. Well, the one book I need to help me study, the other book I wanted cause I thought it looked interesting and may be able to help with this workshop that I am developing.

Anyway, I started seeing a doctor to assist with weight loss and actually using prescription diet pills. I have never used prescription diet pills before so we shall see if they work. So far, I don't feel much different, I could still eat all day if I wanted to. They start everyone off on a basic dosage and then you go back after a week and try to figure out if they need to increase or decrease your dosage. So, who knows, maybe they need to up my dosage since it is supposed to suppress your hunger and it doesn't for me.

Since one of the meds is a stimulant, the doctor warned that it may keep you up at night and if it becomes a problem, they can prescribe something that helps you go to sleep. Well, I have really fixed my poor sleeping habits in the past two months and have been in bed and asleep by 11 pm every night. Last night was no different for me. I was in bed at 10 and I must have been asleep by 11 because I don't remember the end of CSI: Miami. However, I was awake at 6:15am. I don't ever wake up that early, even for work. But I was up and out of bed and had some breakfast. Now, I am getting ready to meet my friends for the weekly Saturday brunch. Of course, I won't be eating my sausage and cheese omelet or pancakes. Also, I already ate breakfast at 6:30 this morning, so I guess I could eat one of their healthy options - or should I say, the ONLY healthy option. Ramparts does have a yogurt and fruit breakfast that could be good to eat, although I have never had it.

My two friends are on the same program. One said that she had problems sleeping for the first few nights and she woke up during the night. We'll see how I do, especially since I don't think anything is working yet. But, then again, it is only day 2, so we shall see what happens. I will probably lose weight this week because I am just eating really well, but I don't think it is due to the pills just yet!

Found this on YouTube and thought it correctly portrayed the area that I live in, Arlington... Enjoy and come visit if you want to.

I have been working my ass off recently and I am really enjoying myself. I was able to go grocery shopping over the weekend twice (once at Costco for the stuff I can buy in bulk and once at a regular grocery store for the stuff I don't want to OD on). I cooked dinner on Sunday and made sure I had enough food to pack for lunches and dinner the rest of the week. To be honest, I thought I was going to have to work every night this week, but I don't have to. The one student I was interpreting for dropped out of his class, so SCORE FOR ME, some nights off. I actually have off every night next week too cause that student is on a business trip and won't be at school.

So - now - nothing too exciting going on. I went out to a nice Chinese dinner tonight and I have a little bit of work I need to do tonight before I call it a night.

The man situation is still the same and I am still boycotting men right now for the most part. I have too much going on right now to be trying to go out on dates.

PEACE OUT - ANARCHY IN!

Today, I received a "flirt" on one of the online dating websites I have a profile on from a man dressed in a Star Wars Storm Trooper uniform. I really need to give up dating and looking for a while until the dark side force gets some good in it. Actually, this is more like the Schwartz

I guess I should be flattered that I really have a lot of guys wanting to talk to me right now, especially since I am feeling pretty low about myself. I got a few emails/texts from the "too nice guy" who rejected me through an email telling me that he can't stop thinking about me and how much he wants to see me again. I nicely thanked him for the complement and told him that I wasn't interested.

I have "big dick guy" who has been around since 2005 making a reappearance, unfortunately, I can't really get a feel for him. Our past history has always been our schedules clashing and not getting to see each other. He called me Thursday night and told me he had off Saturday and Sunday. I felt a little pissed because he probably knew for at least 2 weeks (at minimum a week) that he had off Saturday and Sunday and he called Thursday night to tell me. I already had plans for the weekend. If he would have told me earlier, I could made plans with him. He says to me on the phone how much he likes me and thinks about me but he doesn't do anything to actually show it.

"A Caps Fan" wants sex - all the time - any time - anywhere. And although most of the time I am half tempted just to let out the frustration, I have a feeling the sex would be all about him getting off and no loving for Lauren. So, he is pretty much done in my book.

The guy with no name --- ok, he has a name, I just don't know what it is and I am usually good about getting to know a guy's first and last name before I sleep with him. Anyway - I have hooked up with this guy three times so far in the past few months and everything is great, but again, that is all it is. Luckily, he is interested in loving for Lauren, which made those three times fantastic.

The guy with no job (besides babysitting), no car, no license, and lives in MD. He called me up begging for a second chance and told me he messed it up in the first place. WTF, why should I give people second chances... plus I know this is going to sound selfish, but I am woman who is worth something and fuck it - I am selfish - I don't want to be nobody's sugar mama. From all of the above, I think this is the guy that could give me a relationship with emotional and sexual satisfaction, but I am too selfish and self conscious to date a man with nothing.

So - there you have it - am I growing up? Who the hell knows, but I can honestly say, I can have an orgasm any time in my bedroom with wonderful inventions that you can buy at AdamandEve.com - so when it comes to sexual satisfaction, I am pretty satisfied. I guess I am going to need to start looking for what else is out there. However, at the same time, well... I don't know. I like being single and making up rules and deciding "who and when and how much" (ok, I am kidding about the "how much" part - it was a reference to Pretty Woman").

Well, I am working today, cause in place of relationships, I work, which has ruined some relationships of the past. I guess there is no day like today so have fun and enjoy life!

I am posting nothing of significance at all! I totally stole this from Tom's blog (I love how I call him "Tom" like I know him or something...) Anyway - enjoy, cause I did.

I saw this commercial in English - however, it must be new in the US, cause I can't find it in English on YouTube... but you will get the point. I can relate to both points of view!

In case I didn't tell all my loyal readers... I am working 4 nights a week now for the month of June, in addition to my 5 days a week. Therefore, I don't have any time to post anything although every time I hear something, I always tell myself that I should post something about it... Anyway, that's all I have for today cause since I have time, I am doing laundry, watching the West Wing and relaxing.

Just surfing through YouTube and came across this. Who didn't watch Glee last week? It made me want to start jamming to some Journey. Ok, maybe not full blown out Journey because I have always loved Journey and have their songs on almost all of my home made CDs, but it just made me wish I could sing and jam!
