Horray for free time!
So this is really my first week of no school work, no rushed schedules, and just time to do whatever I really want. And so far it's been alright.
Sunday was the day that my old phone died and I got my new phone! I've had my eye on the new Motorola Q for quite a while, and I thought having a smartphone would be pretty nice... if I could handle the monthly fees! But it's such a nice phone, and the monthly payments aren't too extravagant. I know people who are paying 3 times the amount that I am, so it's all good. I love my Q!
So I've been tossing around the idea of making a quick little Vegas run sometime this month, but seeing that I didn't have a whole lot of money to spend on the trip itself, I had the grand idea to head off to the somewhat nearby Indian casino instead to get my gambling fix. So yesterday, Annie and I went off to the Morongo casino in Cabazon. It was just enough to get that little gambling bug out of my system. For a little while, I was doing really really well, actually being about $140 up. Annie on the other hand didn't do so hot, and I couldn't help but feel bad that she had no more money to gamble with. But it's just me... I like to see my annie happy, and she wasn't, but the day pressed on. In the end I got greedy and ended up loosing the money that I had won plus another $100. Which now that I think about it... how the hell did I lose $200 so fast? ... oh well. I had a good time, and once I save up some more money, I'll probably go back again.
Okay, so I kind of have an announcement too that I'm hoping goes through well...
Annie's doctor has recommended that she start the South Beach Diet. And as added support, and for my personal benefit as well, I'll be doing it too. So starting on 1.1.07, I'm going on this thing. After reading about it and seeing what I can and can't eat, I think it will actually be doable. The only thing is that the first 2-3 weeks are going to be hell. No carbs, PERIOD... which also means no fruits too! So this is going to be tough! But after that, it becomes a little more lenient to what i can eat, which will be okay. And then once I hit my goal weight (I'm thinking around 195) I can begin phase 3, which is even more forgiving. So we'll see how well this goes... There's going to be 3 of us doing this, so It'll be easy for Annie to find the support that she may need to get these pounds off! I just need to indulge in my favorite foods before I start this thing!
Anywho, time to start my day. I STILL haven't done any Christmas shopping!
