I really want to get my hair permed like this.

You finally get to share in your very own special day!

I was thinking about this today and how close December is coming up.

I’m so in and I already have some cards bought. I got them back in Janurary, since they were dirt cheap.

Now, if I can only remember where I stashed them…

Christine is on right now, so I’m watching that.

last Thursday.

Just like a meet-and-greet on that day.

But today was the actual first day of real exercising. It was a good day.

about doing a memorial tattoo for my Grandpa.

Just had the idea the other day, not sure on a design quite yet.

He was in the navy (and retired from it) so I’d like to include that somehow.

Like 94/93 days left!

I can’t wait.

For the first time since completing my recipe book, I used it and made muffins.

They tured out yummy and the book held up.

DONE!

So far, so good.

Although I dropped my horseback riding class (which I thought was going to be like actual horseback riding, not riding like you see in competitions, like jumping over gates and such).

I am hoping to be placed into a ceramic class that starts later in the semester.

Within just under 2 years (December 06 to now, Aug. 08) I have been through 4 cell phones.

FOUR!

3 were the same type in the picture in the last entry. Then, July 07, that final one finally bit the dust and within the cell phone before that (I don’t know when that was) and then, they discontinued it.

So I had to get upgraded to a newer one.

This one.

Now, the screen is shot. It’s not coming up.

Which means no texting, no camera, no placing calls. I don’t even know if I’m getting a call!

And, if by magic, the screen comes up, no matter which button I press (besides the on/off button of course) nothing works.

So I have to wait until Thursday to get a new one.

Sigh. I hate phones…

And on to Day 2.

English class in 35 minutes, followed by Art at 4.

One of the most important components of a healthy lifestyle is regular exercise. By incorporating a variety of exercises and activities into your routine, you can help prevent the boredom that comes with doing the same thing each day. Different activities utilize various combinations of muscle groups and intensity levels, therefore burning different amounts of calories per session.

The table below runs down (on average) the number of calories that various exercises burn, which depend on both the activity itself, and the weight and sex of the participant. Try some of the ideas below to spice up your workout routine. If you work extra-hard one day, take it easy the next and give your body a chance to recover with a lighter activity.

Classes start Monday.

Luckily I only have 1 class Monday and it’s not until 3. But it’s math and I hate math.

for now at least

I didn’t add as many as some _{Go Rana!}, Congrats to everyone!

I got back from Michigan today.

More details/pictures to come.

done. I’m up to date. I don’t have anymore Recipes to add to the book right now.

I’ll just have to keep it updated, that’s all.

Ingredients
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder (I couldn’t find this, the brownies were still good)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
Butter-flavored cooking spray (I didn’t do butter-flavored)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8×8 inch non-stick cake pan with spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, using a sturdy whisk or spatula, mix the applesauce, vanilla, egg whites and sugar until they are well combined.
Add the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir the mixture until it is just combined and no lumps remain. Pour it into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chips evenly over the top. Bake the brownies for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry (a few crumbs are okay).
Transfer the pan to a cooling rack and allow them to cool 5 minutes. Cut into 12 equal brownies. Makes 12 (1 brownie) servings.
Each brownie has: 88 calories, 2 g protein, 19 g carbohydrates, 1 g fat, less than 1 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 1 g fiber, 133 mg sodium
