Robbing the craddle...07-24-12

Tuesday, July 24, 2012
To catch you up, especially on the Carson situation, let me first start by saying, don't worry, it's still over with him, it's been over, but there have just been some interesting developments in his story. One story I am hoping has ended for good, and that is not a book I want to re-read.

So we broke up, but we continued to talk here and there as friends. It made it super difficult for me to try and get over him, but it was hard because even through all the pain he caused, he was someone I had always confided my deepest darkest secrets to and I considered a friend. I mean really, with friends like that who needs enemies lol. I have another situation that I am going through personally, which I won't get into, but he was one of the very few people that was aware of it, and actually wanted to help me to fix it, so it made me feel a little lost when we broke up, thinking omg I am really alone in this now. That made it rough. So we continued to talk, and fight, and talk more, and then we would talk about getting back together, we didn't and won't but we would talk about it, and then we would fight because I would bring everything from the past up, because it wasn't something that I could forgive and forget anymore, it was real this time.

So I have told you all about my best friend Jayson before. He was my very first boyfriend's best friend, and when we broke up, my story to everyone is that I got custody of Jayson, which is basically the truth. So we laugh about it now, but after the next situation happened, I really began to think. See Carson has his best friend living with him. The guy was going through a divorce and Carson invited him to stay with him and help pay rent. His name is JW (jaydubb), and we have always gotten along really well. Everytime I would go over to Carson's house JW and I would talk and talk about life. I would help him in his girl problems, and he would talk to me about my weight loss and working out. Several times, Carson and I would be mad at each other, not talking and so JW and I would talk and Carson would get so mad, but I thought it was funny. So when Carson and I broke up, about a week later, I re-created my online dating website and I get a message from someone. I go online, look and realize it's JW...I was like what the heck. We started talking, he told me that even though Carson and I are through, he would still like to remain friends and work out together sometime. So that Monday we went and worked out. It was fun, I like the dude, he is from the south and a bit country and makes me laugh. We didn't bring Carson up at all and it was nice. But, then Carson threw a fit. Straight up started talking **** , and I had even texted him asking him if that was ok and he said sure, but he obviously didn't like it. And like a coworker told me, would I like it if he did it with me, no, but he is a jerk and I don't really care lol. So we have completely stopped talking, cut off all communication, online and I have blocked him on my phone. It's really for the best lol.

Now, on to my robbing the craddle story. So I had this guy message me on the online dating website, telling me he was super interested in me, and that he would like to get to know me. I looked at his profile, first his pictures were AMAZING...the hottest guy who has every messaged me before, I was blown away. But then I saw his age. 23. I am 28, about to be 29. Not a huge difference but still a 29 year old and a 23 year old's goals and interests are far from being the same. Most people I know at that age are looking to party all the time and drink and sleep late, I was just like ughh when I saw that, cause he was super cute. So I wrote back to him and said sure lets get to know each other, and we started talking, and I figured out we actually did have a lot in common.

We work out a lot and at the same gym sometimes. He told me he doesn't party very much and likes to just hang out watching movies, which I like to do as well. The first time was last Thursday at the gym. My friend and I were there working out when he and I were trying to coordinate meeting each other through texting each other, and I see him standing outside when my friend and I are about to leave, and I looked at him through the window, looked at her and was like oh heck no. He started to walk in the gym, I turned around so he wouldn’t recognize me because he didn’t look a thing like his pictures. He looked short. And he was wearing his gym clothes and did not look at all cute, and had absolutely no swag lol. My friend was like Brittany, give him a chance and I was like no, this is the exact reason why I end up going back to Carson. She was like you are never going to know if you don’t give him a chance. I was like fine, so he called and I told him he had walked by me, and then he came outside, because by then he had walked in, and we walked out. He came up and gave me this huge hug, and we started talking. See, I can be a bit of a smart a** at times. Well all the time…lol. But I started to test the waters while talking to him outside the gym if he could take me being a smart a**, and he took it like a trooper and even spit it back at me. I loved it! And, he wasn’t short. He was actually pretty tall and quite cute up close. So we just said our hi’s and bye’s, and then went our separate ways.

That night we talked and set a plan to have our first on Friday. So Friday comes, and the problem is that he is in the military and just got stationed here, and they haven’t shipped his vehicle yet so I would have to go get him. So I went and picked him up, he asked me what I wanted to eat,and told him that I really wanted pizza, but I can’t order pizza for just myself because I end up either eating all of it, or feeling horrible for throwing everything but the two pieces I eat out. He suggested getting a pizza and then watching movies at my place. So we went and ordered the pizza, and sat there at the Pizza Hut waiting for it to get done, just talking and laughing up a storm. He makes me laugh so hard. So then we went back to my place and ate and watched a movie. We talked a little and then I took him home, along with the left over pizza for him to eat later.

Sunday I had invited him to dinner, but he said he couldn’t but suggested Monday. So Monday rolled around, and I never mentioned it, seeing if he would, and he did, asking if he was going to get to see me and I said of course. So I picked him up, and we went back to my place where I cooked him dinner, and this is the thing with younger guys, they are very inexperienced in the dating/real world that anything I do extra he thinks I just hung the moon, he just thought my 15 minute thrown together spaghetti was amazing, phenomenal even. I laughed silently, but was really happy that he was so grateful. He even asked if he could take the rest home because it was so good.

He is leaving this weekend to go out of town on military drills for three weeks. His birthday is August 11, so I am not sure if I should try to do something for him before he goes, or just let it go by. When he is gone, he won’t have access to phones or computers so I won’t see him until way after (my thought was just to send him an e-card, but he won’t get it), which is closer to my birthday on August 28th. It’s so new, we haven’t even established anything serious between us, just dating, but honestly I expect him to not necessarily buy me a present for my b-day but to be there when my friends and I go to celebrate. We have another date planned for Friday. I am hoping to see him between now and then but if not, I am excited about Friday. I need ideas/suggestions on what I should do. I really like this guy, so hopefully things go well. Here is to hoping right?

10 Random Facts About Me...07-11-12

Wednesday, July 11, 2012
I am so jumping on the band wagon. I love jumping on the band wagon, lol. So here we go with 10 Random Facts About Me...

1. I have the wierdest and oddest(don't know if that is a word or not) sleeping rituals known to man kind. Well wierdest and oddest getting ready for sleeping, rituals. I have to make sure I go pee, because if not, I will wake up one more extra time during the night than I already do to go pee, and I already do that enough. I have to take my contacts out. I then walk in to my bedroom, turn my light on, plug my cell phone in to charge, set both my alarm clock and alarm clock on my phone for the time I need to get up in the morning making sure to set them at least 10 minutes apart from each other, make my bed, turn my bed down, change my clothes, grab my humidifier tank, fill my humidifier tank, plug it in, turn the tv on, go take my night medicine, go back to my bedroom, sit on my bed, watch tv for exactly five minutes, grab the vick's vapor rub, lather it on my lips and nose, crawl into bed, watch tv for a max of 30 minutes and then fall asleep. Yeah it's kind of weird. Don't ask..lol

2. I am sure I have mentioned this before, but I have OCD. I can pretty much contain it for the most part but there are certain instances where it just comes out full force and I freak out. When my feet and hands get dirty, touching dirty stuff, public restrooms, drinking from glasses, etc.

3. I can not remember a time that I have not been overweight. I remember in high school shopping for school clothes and being a size 24 already, I think I was a freshman. I honestly, for the life of me, think I am smaller now than I have been in at least 15 years or more. And I am only 28.

4. My favorite color is orange. And I pronounce that as Orreeenngggeee. People make fun of me for it but I can't help it!

5. I have naturally curly hair. It is the bane of my existence, because it literally frizzes out and looks like a fro if I don't have product in it. I love it because it's pretty easy to do in the morning, but if I just want to wake up and go, that's not an option, a shower is nescessary to control it's madness.

6. I am an only child by my mother. The youngest of three of my father, that I know about. lol...And of those two older siblings, my brother who is the oldest is 12 years older, and my sister 11 years older. My brother is adopted, and I also have two cousins who are also adopted.

7. I was born with brown eyes, and until the age of 16 had brown eyes. Now, for some odd reason they seem to shift colors depending on my mood and level of tiredness. When I am mad or fully rested, they are brown. When I am sad or depressed, hazel. When I am super tired they are full on green eyes. They mostly stay hazel or green.

8. I have been scuba diving off the coast of Mexico, I have been Sky Diving in Arizona and bungee jumping over the highest suspended bridge in America in Colorado. I love adventure, however when I went to Six Flags at age 25, I was already at my biggest weight by then and I was super embarrassed cause I had to get off several rides because I coudln't fit. I want to be able to ride the rides again.

9. I absolutely love Justin Bieber. I have a pillow with his picture, a calendar, all of his cd's including his newest one and he is now over the age of 18 and legal.

10. My favorite song is Vanilla Ice's Ice Ice Baby. I have it on CD and try to listen to it every day because it makes me in a great mood. I know most every word and can rap it with the best of them.

Well I hope you enjoyed this! It's been fun!

McFlurrie for 17 points....really? 06-29-12

Friday, June 29, 2012
I am sooooo mad right now. At myself! My boss bought all the staff McFlurries today and before calculating the points on it, I figured it looks like a small enough size, no big deal. Wrong. 17 points. I literally just broke down crying in my office right now because I am so mad at myself for that. It's not even just that. I gained this past Tuesday, and I expected it, but it still sucked. But you would think that would light a fire under me to get motivated becasue I had this huge goal of reaching 100lbs by July 4th, and that isn't going to happen now. Yesterday, for dinner, here is what I had. Two peices of double pepporoni pizza and a hot dog without the bun, and a diet cherry limeade, and a klondike bar...39 points. My daily is only 44. I did go to the gym, but I am just like how the heck can I do this to myself.

I know it's that tom, and I am sure is why I am so emotional, but I can not express to you how mad and angry I am at myself right now. Going into the weekend is even worse because I have a huge weekend going on with I am sure some very decadent eating going on. Plus vacation next week of camping. I feel like I am spiraling out of control right now and I don't know how to stop myself.

I have stopped crying now...and I am officially off to lunch now. I have to take it easy for sure on what I eat. UGHHHH I just feel like yelling.

What the heck was I thinking 06-26-12

Tuesday, June 26, 2012
I know most of my blogs are centrally surrounded around my dating life, but today is going to be about my weight loss. I am seriously self sabotaging myself lately, and it only has been happening on the weekends. I am kicking myself right now. The last two weeks I have completely and uterly dropped off the WW plan. I try, really hard, but it doesn't help and in fact I am good until Friday night/Saturday night comes around. I can always make really good breakfast and lunch decisions, but when it comes to dinners, which I am guessing is due to the fact that they are primarily social dinners, I totally mess up. I am out with other people, and they are ordering this amazing food and I want what they are having and I give in to my temptation. I could even go as far as just eating half, or getting a lighter version but nope, I go for the full fat, full plate, fill me up until I am miserable....and then dessert.

Tonight I weigh in, and I am prepared for a gain. I gained 1lb last week, and this is completely messing with my wanting to reach my 100lb mark by the 4th of July...that's not going to happen. I am just disappointed in myself and I can't help but sulk about it lol. Well, I am off to the gym, so wish me luck! I will keep you posted on my WI....

Until next time....
