Lessons Learned

My. Life. Is. Over.
Ok, so maybe it's not over but I like over-exaggerating.
I've gained 4 pounds in the past three weeks. So lame! I really shouldn't even be that upset, my whole wardrobe still fits and no one else can tell. But I can, my cheeks look chubbier, and it's not cool! Sooooooo... I'm on a strict diet for a while. Fruit, veggies, meat.  If you see me eating anything else, snatch it out of my hand and shove it in your mouth. I'll hate you at the time, but eventually I will love you again. (And if you don't want to eat it, just throw it on the ground and spit on it, there's a good chance that'll actually make me laugh.)
I ate at Outback today. Greatest restaurant for gluten free peeps, because basically the whole menu is gf. Glorious! Anywho, I ate ribs because I wanted to try something other than steak. It was delicious! But, I'll stick with the steak from now on. There's a reason they are known for their steaks. :)
Also, I relearned today that you should not wear high heels shopping and skirts on a windy day. As I was gassing up my car today my skirt tried taking off like a parachute. But, luckily I grabbed it before everyone saw a little (aka lot) more than they wanted to see. And... to explain the high heels. I usually don't (Ok, I never do. I'm not one of those girls who has to look cute to go shopping, that's just ridiculous!) wear high heels shopping, but my mom and I went right after lunch (which was right after church) and the only other shoes I had in my car were my boots, and that wasn't happening with my skirt and on a hot day. Well, I got a new shirt (which is superdeduperty cute!) and some new jewelry. I swear I looked at jewelry for like 20 minutes and couldn't find anything. Then, my mom walks through and chooses three things I loved in less than a minute. She's so awesome! I was speechless.
I am also quite amazed at myself. I leave for school in 3 weeks exactly. And... I'm packed! Such a relief! Wa-bam! Also, I got the room I requested. So, that's exciting news. :)
So, today at Target I found cookies and cream chocolate kisses. I was so excited I just snatched them up without thinking about the whole cookie thing. Turns out cookies have gluten. So I guess I just got a present for my sister. You're welcome, Emily! I hope you enjoy gluten. Plus, this is really a favor to my body. Chocolate isn't really on my diet. :( 
Tonight was a lounge night. Just me and my computer on my comfy bed. It was a very relaxing evening. Senior photo session tomorrow at 8:30, very excited! Then, back up to the cabin for a couple weeks of "exercising" (aka skiing, tubing and kayaking) and family time. I'm pumped!
