I haven't posted in over a month

And I'm not really posting now. But this is some funny shit.

The poll is up

My story is number 12. Number 13 is pretty good too. Not sure who I'll vote for. I always vote once for myself (so I don't feel pathetic if I get no votes) and once for someone else. I can accomplish this by voting from home and from work. Trollop with a Laptop

Lessons Learned

Lesson of the Day: When looking at personal ads online as research for a story, do NOT look at your own area... it's awkward when you find people you recognize.

I feel wiser for the experience though.

Good Morning

Let's see.... this has been a good week. I went to Youngsville on Wednesday and got my hair permed again by my wonderful Aunt Ann. So now it's extra curly and bouncy and it makes my happy. I also contributed a story to Alison Tyler's latest contest. Her poll will be up later today. For my friends, my story is How I Became a Screamer. This is a completely fictional account, because as anyone who has ever lived with me knows, I've always been a screamer. So please go, and vote for me.

Next week, we have a weight loss contest starting at work. It's based on the biggest Loser, so the prize is for the biggest percentage of weight lost. There's also an individual competition for logging your exercise activities. The prize is $500, which would be split between my team of 3 people. We decided to call our team the Mama Miias, because Heather and I will be using our Wii Fits to work out a lot.

The new car is running great, maybe I will take a picture of it this weekend and put it up. I don't know if it will be tonight though, because they are calling for thunderstorms. It's already hot and sticky out this morning.

Good Morning!

It's been awhile. I really need to do this more often. I spend too much time updating my facebook status, and my myspace status, and my Twitter status, to blog lately it seems. I am still working out on my Wii Fit, I worked out 4 days last week. I worked out last night too. I made myself stop halfway through hula-hooping though because I felt like I was going to be sick. It's important to listen to your body when you exercise. If your body says Stop, then Stop! Hula-hooping with Italian Cheese Bread from Little Caesar's in your stomach is apparently a bad idea. We are going to be having a Biggest Loser weight loss contest at work. I am hoping that will motivate me to eat better in addition to exercising.

Work is going great. Jeff did well in his classes last sememster, he got an A and a B+. We got a new car! It's a 2009 Toyota Corolla, it's red and it is so pretty.

I <3 Super Mario Galaxy

I am currently playing Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii. It is very, very fun. Mario shoots between galaxy, collecting star power to power an observatory that flies through space like a rocket. Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach again and taken her off into space. Mario and his new allies, Rosalina and the Lumas, are helping him to explore the universe to find her.

I am also still working out with my Wii Fit. According the scales, I haven't lost any weight, but a couple people have said it looks like I am, which means I am toning up and losing flab, which is the important thing to me. It will be interesting doing the Yoga poses as the weather heats up. My feet already sweat a little on the Balance Board (gross, I know), and today it already felt like I was doing Bikram yoga. I forsee myself slipping on the Balance Board and whacking my face, while the trainer says "Put more weight on your front foot."

Taking couple days off at the end of this week. Jeff and I will probably also be car shopping.

Name change

I am changing the name posted on my blog to my pen name, Aurora Hunter. It's still me, guys, just trying to sync up my various web identities.

Why is the Internet always finding new ways to occupy my time?

There are blogs to read, facebook to update, myspace to update, NeoPoints to earn, and now, Twitter. It's all Grey's fault really. He jumped into the wonderful world of social networking with both feet, so now I have ended up with a Twitter account as well. The only thing I haven't done is activate it so it can be updated from my phone, because we don't have texting on our cell plan. Plus I'm really bad at texting.

I had a great weekend. I played a lot of World of Warcraft, and yesterday we successfully surprised Kelli with lunch for her birthday. And I just remembered I left my leftovers from lunch yesterday in the fridge at home, instead of bringing them for lunch today as I had intended. Doh! Oh well, it's pasta, I am sure it will be good tomorrow night for dinner, as Jeff has class. The semester is almost over, and we are taking a short break together the first weekend of May.

So sleepy... I wonder if I can convince my boss of the benefits of a siesta?

Buenos dias!

Wii Fit Age: 23!

I have been using my Wii Fit for 17 days now. I haven't lost any significant weight yet, but I do feel tighter, stronger and more toned, esp. in my abs. I ordered some more fun stuff for the Wii, Super Mario Galaxy and Link's Crossbow Training with the Wii Zapper. I love shooting games. Jeff ordered a couple things too, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and a charging station for the controllers.

We've been playing more World of Warcraft, the latest patch to the game added some new content. I have nearly achieved the cooking achievement, which will give me the ability to use the title "Chef" in-game.

Life is good, the sun is shining. It's a good day.
