and i said legal's never been my thing
Amanda and I went out for dinner tonight, to Olive Garden. We went out on Thursday night, to Fridays. I think it's very important that we do go out once a week, to just treat ourselves, even when we dont really have the money to be doing it, like the case is now. you know we work so hard, we should be able to have a reward.

We bought new couches at Raymour Flanigans tonight. they are being delivered on Saturday. Slowly, but surely, we are fixing up this house, adding new furniture, painting where needed, fixing the yard, and what not. owning a house is a lot of work, actually i get the feeling it's always a work in progress.

I weighed myself yesterday, and I was at 285lbs. Do you know how nice it is to be that far down? I mean I was at 323 back in Feb, and in August, I am at 285. My goal all summer has been to get down to 275, I am 10lbs away, with maybe a month left.

We hadnt been taking my blood/sugar reading since June 16th. We took it last night, and I was at 126. It's not too bad, considering I figured it would be higher, since I have been drinking more sodas, energy drinks, and eating more candy as of late. way to go me!!

Music listened to lately: Aerosmith's "Get Your Wings", ACDC's "Highway to Hell", Mnemic's "Audio Injected Soul", Stevie Wonder hits collection, and then a mixture of a bunch of other stuff.

We are going to Ohio/Kentucky the weekend of August 23rd. We will leave on the 22nd, and come back on the 24th. Essentially we will only have one day to spend in Ohio with family. but its the best we can do. mom wants to have a surprise birthday part for my Dad, and I was able to get the three days off from Coke. i was afraid they(Coke), would give me a hard time about it, because i have only been there for 2 months, but they were very cool about it. the only thing is they said i wouldnt get paid for the one day, because i dont have any vacation time yet. And that is fine, I will just work 4 10 or 11 hour days to make up for it that week. by the way, if anyone reading knows my father, you can not tell him i am coming.. its supposed to be a surprise.
