When night doesn't end and morning never starts.

SO I lost 3.4 this week and Spencer lost 3.2 this week. Neither of us used out allowance points this week. Yesterday I woke up about 1:00pm and have not been asleep since. I didn't do much yesterday. I have been working on Spencer's Anniversary gift. I'll tell you all about it later after I give it to him. Don't want to ruin the surprise. Mom and Dad got home and we sat around trying to figure out what to have for dinner. We all decided to get different things. I got Subway for me and Spencer. A Roast Beef foot long sub for me (20 points) and a Turkey foot long sub for Spencer (18 points). We hadn't ate very much all day so it was worth the points. Mom got a meal from El Pollo Loco (6 points but she only ate 3.5 of it, she also got fried zucchini from Carl's Jr (8 points but only ate half so 4 points), and dad got a Carl's Jr Famous Star w/ cheese (16 points). We all had alot of points left. We got home and I ate half my sub and waited for Spencer to get home from work to eat the other half. He got home about 8:30pm and ate. about 9pm The Boys (Michael and Cecil) came over and helped us start cleaning the den. The 3 guys kinda worked on the den and got about half done. But mostly moved boxes into the living room that I have to go through. I started on those but ended up starting to play X-Box 360 with the guys for a bit (like half hour). Then I went to the living room to start on the box again then decided to clean the bathroom. So I washed and scrubbed the shower and tub, then washed the toilet and counter and stand. Then swept and mopped the floor. But I forgot to wash the mirror (oh well). The Boys left around midnight. I finished the bathroom and sat down for a few to rest. Spencer worked on his talk, its just bible reading so he did it. And went to bed about 1:00am. Well I couldn't go to bed so I started working on the den some more. Yyyyeeeaaaahhhh I ended up cleaning it completely, well as much as I could. But its spotless to say the least. If you saw it before and then saw it now you would be shocked. I worked on it til 4:30am almost 5:00am then I went to lay down. Yeah I couldn't sleep. Spencer's alarm went off at 5:30am so I got back up and started working again. Then Spencer came in at 6:30am and said goodbye and left for work. Poor thing works crazy the next 2 days. I finely came out of the den and watched a bit of news and then got online and started posting this. Well I think I have cleaned about 3 hours which is 10 Activity Points for yesterday. Today is another day and more cleaning is needed. Well I just wanted to update and say "Hey". Talk to you all laters.

This Week

This week has been a good week, despite only losing 0.4 pounds and not making my 15 pounds, but Spencer lost 4.6 pounds and hit his 10 pounds this week. We have done really well this week. This week is the C.O.'s visit and so meetings were on tuesday and thursday not monsay and wednesday. We have been really good with food except for last night. We went and saw Cloverfield at midnight and boy, take a diaper, cuz it will scare the crap out of you. Well we went and got our tickets and then went to Taco Bell. We did ok. I went over 3 points but thats all I have gome over this week. and with spencers activity he came to 0. I swear I worked off those 3 points because that movie was soooo intense. Anyways, Today chrissy had the CO and his wife over for lunch, there was a bunch of people there. I did good I mainly ate fruit. But I prob ate about 4 points of fruit. I had about 2 points of sliced cheddar cheese and about 2 points of this pasta stuff they had there. so 8 points so far today is not bad. Im trying not to use my allowance points for this week until tomorrow. We are going to the Antique show tomorrow and then having Libby and Barry over for my homemade carne asada fries and 4 point margaritas. YUM!! So I guess now I will go clean for tomorrow. TTYL

Oh what a day!!!

Today I had an interview. I am never doing that again. My interview was at 12:15p.m. I had to leave at 9:05a.m. It took 20 minuets to walk the half mile to the Lemon Grove Trolley Station. I had to take the Orange line to Gillespie Field trolley to the Grossmont Trolley Station. Then I had to get on the Green Line to Old Town and get off at the Fashion Valley Trolley Station. I got off and had to get on Bus route 41 UCSD-VA Hosp to La Jolla Village Drive at Genesee. Then I had to take another bus route 921 Mira Mesa to Scranton Rd at Morehouse Dr off of Mira Mesa Blvd. Then I had to walk a half a mile to Oberlin Drive. The interview was for American Income Life Insurance and not what I really wanted to do, so it was a flop. After the interview I had to walk the half mile back to the bus stop and get back on route 921 and head back to La Jolla Village Drive at Genesee. I ended up walking about 2 blocks to the Human Resources office of California Bank and Trust and personally handed them my resume since I was never getting a response back after I applied online and repeatedly left messages with the recruiter. I didnt want to head back home on busses and trolleys for 2 hours and since Spencer got off work in another hour I started walking toward where my parents work. I was only 4 miles away so I was looking for the bus that went to their work. Route 31 was no where to be found so I decided to walk it. I had already walked alot so this wasnt much more, so I thought. So I Started at UTC. Started walking down La Jolla Village Drive, and walking and walking and walking... I walked down La Jolla Village Drive, crossed the 805 overpass and thats when it became Miramar Road to Camino Santa Fe. I was about 1 mile away from my parents job when Spencer got off work and picked me up. So we stopped by and saw everyone. I figured I walked about a total of 5 miles today. I kept track of the times and it was 315 minuets, which makes 15 activity points for today. Then we went to Robbins Bros in Mission Valley and got our rings checked to keep the warranty valid (we have to do it every six months). Then because I was on the go all day I hadnt ate yet so we stopped by "Robertos Very Mexican Food". We had never ate there before. We both ordered the Carne Asada Plate. It included: about 2 oz Carne asada, 1 huge Flour Tortilla (about 10" Diameter), about half cup refried beans, about half cup mexican rice, about a quarter cup of guacamole and a quarter cup of this yummylicious salsa fresca, and a small 2 oz bag of fresh made tortilla chips. And they had the best hot carrots. I had everything but the chips and my meal was 16.5 points, but that is ok because I had only ate 3 points the whole day. Spencer had everything and his total was 22.5 points. But he worked it off in DDR tonight. I think I ended up getting home at 5:30p.m. So I, to say the least, am wiped out. At least it was an activity filled day. And I get to walk to an interview tomorrow as well but at least that one is in Lemon Grove and not where I had to go today. Well I have to finish the 10.5 points that I have left. Hope your day was better than mine.
