Met a Goal
I'm just putting this out there, because I'm proud of myself. I used to be in the 250s, then I moved down to the 240s, and as of this morning, I am in the 230s!! :D

A Little About Me
Here are some tidbits about me:
1. I have been married since July 2008. This is both my husband's and my first (and last) marriage.
2. I am currently unemployed. I was laid off a little over a month ago.
3. I am a part-time student at a private university.
4. We have no kids, yet.
5. I was raised in San Antonio, Texas and will hopefully be moving back eventually.
6. I love cooking! I love trying out new recipes and finding new family favorites.
7. We have a big fish tank with a giant goldfish, two suckerfish, two pretty who-knows-what-they-are fish, and a rainbow shark.
8. I love to visit Las Vegas and New York.
9. My husband and I are both overweight and working on it.
10. I love photography - being behind the lens and also appreciating others' work.
11. My husband and I have recently discovered geocaching. It's one of our favorite hobbies now.
12. I have a thing about grammar and spelling.
13. Blogging is less of a "diary" kind of thing, and more of a outlet.
14. I often judge people by their shoes.
15. I love to travel.
16. My favorite color is blue.
17. My favorite food is turtle cheesecake. Maybe that's why I'm overweight...
18. I drink 8+ cups of water every day. Once again, working on losing weight.
19. I weight myself every morning on my Wii Fit.
20. I hate cats.
21. I have no allergies whatsoever.
22. I bite my nails. Usually during movies.
23. I always have to have my toenails painted.

Poor Jack
We got a frog this past Saturday and the girl at the pet store dropped him on the floor not once, but twice - I should have taken the hint. But no, we took him home and named him Jack. My husband gets up the next morning (Easter Sunday) and can't find the frog in the tank - he thought it was just hiding somewhere. Five hours later, he sees something hopping around on the floor. Who knows how long the frog had been out of the tank....he was covered in hair and dust and dirt. :\ So hubby puts him back in the tank and he was doing alright but then we came home later that afternoon and found this:
We thought he was just chilling by the tower. But no, that's how he died, standing up. Or trying to jump... :(

Flossy Flossy
Let's be honest - I don't floss every day. I'm lucky if I floss 4 times a week. However, I have always known that you floss before you brush. That way you get all the junk out and then brush it away. My hubby on the other hand, believes that it doesn't matter when you floss, as long as it gets done (he flosses after he brushes). What do you think? Should you floss before or after?

Behind His Back
My friend, we'll call her Jennifer, went to her husband's work party and her husband won an iPod. He wanted to upgrade it, so he returned it to the store and got cash for it! When does that ever happen? It was about $300, and he put it in their joint bank account. His birthday is on Sunday (yeah, Easter) and all he asked for was a Wii. Nothing else - pretty much that or nothing.
Jennifer is NOT tech-savvy and knows nothing about electronics whatsoever. Since I have a Wii, she was asking me about how much it costs and what games would be fun to get, etc yesterday morning. Then, in the afternoon, she randomly goes to a computer liquidation/surplus sale (like I said, she knows NOTHING about electronics). She ends up spending the $300 that HE won, that he generously offered her to use for HIS birthday gift on an old piece of shit laptop that doesn't run very well and the keys rattle when you type on it!!
I could see if it was a good deal (you can get new laptops for $300...), or if she had a clue about electronics, or if she asked him first and he said yes, or if it was money not already deemed his birthday money. I just can't believe she did that, behind his back. And there are no refunds, so they're stuck with this junk. I feel so bad for her husband. I guess he won't be getting his Wii this year... :(
