What do skinny people think about?

Honestly. I look around at the skinny people and I wonder, how do they not finish everything that's on their plate? How do they curb the desire to eat a pizza from Mother Bears? I think I know the answer to this, they don't have that desire, but I don't understand it.

I'm trying to lose weight because I have consumed copious amounts of calories and what not this past week thanks to Little 500 celebrations. Finding time to exercise is tough, so I'll wait to get on that until after I graduate. But in the mean time I'm cutting off my chocolate and cookie consumption. And severely limiting my pizza intake as well. This will be no easy task, I know, but I'm trying to train myself to not to like the taste of the greasy fried stuff. I heard it can be done. If you go on a raw vegetable detox, supposedly afterward your body won't enjoy eating the yucky stuff because your body feels so much better when you feed it the healthy stuff. I don't know if this is true, but I definitely didn't like to drink coke as much after I stopped drinking it for two weeks and stuck to water. Maybe there is some truth to it. For now I'm on a salad kick because it is the healthiest thing I can order to eat in restaurants usually. And since I cut off all connections with the kitchen in my apartment, I can't prepare food for myself. :(

I cannot wait to get home. Lately I've been dreaming of being a domestic goddess. Or Nigella Lawson, which ever comes first. God I'd love an English accent. Oh well...

Mean while, in lala land

Feeling inadequate and under productive as-per-usual. Some girls dream about what their wedding will be like, I dream about my kitchen. If only I had a fully stocked, clean kitchen abundant with counter space and possibly an island. Is this too much to ask for? Well if you're an undergrad, yes. For now a girl can dream.

Top five things that will be in my dream kitchen:
1. Automated juicer that has a spout you could put a glass or measuring cup under
2. Crock pot
3. Food processor
4. Oven and broiler combo like the one on 30 minute meals
5. a fridge that is magically stocked with everything you could possibly need, but isn't incredibly cumbersome

Extreme Blog Makeover!

It is time for a make over. The bike was stolen, and I'm about to graduate college and enter the real world. The time for change is now. So now I just need to decided how to make over my blog... I'm thinking of prepping it for my in the kitchen with Bonnie webisodes. It's going to be great, just wait and see!

Oh, yeah I have a blog, don't I?

I'm horrible at maintaining this thing. It's ok though, because here I am writing another entry! Four and 1/2 weeks until I'm done with college. And I'm not freaking out. Still a lot of work to do, but that has yet to keep me from watching several episodes a day of Heros thanks to the Netflix gods. Lord only knows what I would do without them. I'm very focused on international news this semester. I'm on over load as per usual. Each semester varies between knowing everything that's going on in the news to not following the news at all. Which makes me wonder how many people were like me on my off semesters and don't follow the news, which is not good. Read what's happening beyond our border! It's important, if you don't agree with me- you're wrong! Ok so maybe a little much, didn't really mean to shove anything down your throat.

I got a subscription to the Economist which was a horrible idea. I can't stop reading about the demise of print publications, and yet I just bought a subscription, go figure. I don't get around to reading it, it's horrible I feel like such a horrible contribution to the environment. I am trying to be better! Promise!

Ok here I go trying to focus and finish the piles of work that have accumulated around me. Wish me luck!
