Mom says I'm just like my dad in that I get fixated on something and obsess over it for periods of time. It's true. Ever since Brian got permission to miss drill in June which was over Reading Air Show weekend, I've been obsessing over the 40's. Not that I wasn't interested in the 40's before, just now, I'm getting all excited. I really want to go swing dancing but when I broached the idea of going by myself since I am in Harrisburg by myself, Brian said that he didn't want other guys' "grubby hands" all over me. Hahaha. I tried to get Emily to go but she's a wuss and sad that I have a boyfriend that should take me swing dancing. Thanks a lot. Brian wants to take swing dancing lessons too but we'll have to wait for summer since he is three hours away. Oh well. Till then I'll settle for buying shoes that I shouldn't buy on Ebay and sewing dresses. My one dress is on hold because I messed up this one part of the dress and I lost the pattern for those pieces. So now I either have to buy another pattern or try and dig up the pieces again. I'm angered. The other dress is all cut I just have to mark up the pieces and buy a bobbin. I only have one bobbin for my sewing machine. Oh well. I'm not too concerned with dressing accurately for the period, just dressing up and having fun. Since Brian reenacts the Pacific at Reading, I think I'll just find/make a nice Hawaiian-ish dress because that's easy and that way I don't have to worry about the "accurateness" of having slanty eyes. I'll just be a native; note: not the kind with their boobs hanging out with a stick through their nose.
I'm still going to the gym although not as regularly and certainly not with great motivation. I've also just cracked down on my eating habits. I decided that all that junk food I've been craving lately has not actually been good for my waist size. I just want to lose like 6 pounds and I think it's impossible.
I have two tests today but I'm bored and I'm studying like I should be.
