a new years blog.

hope everybody had an awesome new years!

our annual new years party was alright.  we got stormed on for a random minute and also learned spanish words playing mexican bingo.  apparently 'la chalupa' is a lady in a boat (according to the cards artwork, anyway).  i had to forbid chris from ever ordering chalupas at taco bell again since sometimes he gets more then one.  there is no way i'm letting him have three ladies and three boats.  D:<

i also learned in the past few days that chris is a human antennae and that by touching the wii and holding his arm out he can make netflix movies load faster.  i also learned that three strikes in a row in bowling is called a turkey. i don't know why it's called that.  what i do know is that when you achieve turkey on wii sports resort you earn the gobble gobble stamp.

i want the gobble gobble stamp.

but i apparently do not have the skills.

in other news, this is way to hard to type because my nails are way to long.  these things have to go.

(for anybody who was curious, i really did trim my nails after typing that.  much better.)

in other other news, we are officially on our new years diet, or as well as we can be anyway.  i even got up early to walk a bit on the treadmill before work.  we're going for a sort of weight watchers thing, except we can't afford weight watchers, so we found all the calculators and recipes and such online for free.  :D  chris (being the awesome nerd that he is) is actually looking up the nutrition facts of our favorite places to eat, putting them in the points calculator and making us all a chart of the number of weight watchers points fast food has.  

according to these numbers i will probably never eat at mcdonald's again, with it's 16 point double quarter pounder.  i don't even think it's double cheeseburger is worth the points (i think it was like 8) when i only have 36 points.  D:

he even found something we can use to calculate the number of points in recipes, so we can safely cook our own food and not just live on frozen meals!  

hopefully we can achieve something.  my goal is to be a chubby bride instead of a really fat bride.  so that is definitely an awesome incentive to get me to do things.  i think about it while walking on the treadmill, about how i don't want to get married then die of a heart attack because i'm clogged with fat.

chris even agreed to give up his makeshift diet to do this with me.  i think the geek in him just likes to do all the calculations.  which is fine if it means he'll stick to it with me.  i do love him so.  :)

in the next few days i want to buy a nice journal to use to keep track of my foodie things.  a good tip we've gotten from friends that have done food journaling is to not be afraid to splurge on the journal you really want, since if it's cool and pretty then you won't get bored of looking at it.  :P

i think that's about it.

well.  this morning one of my fiancées friends passed away.  i'm very bad at being comforting, especially when the person needing to be comforted is not in hugging range, so i hope he knows how much i love him and that it's going to be okay and that i'm here if he needs me.  i love you.

peace.
