Pictures of Studying

Quiz

Take a good look at this picture. There is something different about this picture. If you've been to my home, you could figure it out... Any guesses?

Doong-goo-leh, Doong-goo-leh

Studying at Carol's is very nice. I went over to her place last night for a sleep-over and now I am studying for my test tomorrow with yummy Doong-goo-leh tea with honey, prepared by none other than my wonderful seester. She made me yummy breakfast too. I always feel so pampered when I'm at her place. 
On the other hand, I haven't really seen my husband for the last two days. Well I did "see" him, but probably for 5 minutes as I briefly opened my eyes as he rattled his way into the room and in and out of the bathroom with his sonicare that was unusually loud that night. I woke up once again at his loud nose-blowing in the shower. Brian is so sweet though. He set his alarm early so he could wake up and see me off to school. So sweet he is. Unfortunately he set it too late so I was already gone. What is funny is that I actually gave him a kiss goodbye before I left! I asked him about it later online and he said he didn't remember. But sometimes I do wonder if he is really awake when I give him kisses goodbye. Each morning I leave for school, I reach over to give him a kiss and he puckers his lips to meet mine and mumbles a goodbye. Sometimes I think I may have trained some sort of automatic pucker reaction into him. 
Anywhoo...tonight will be another night of studying. Wait, what am I saying..? My whole life these days is nothing but studying. Sigh. I shall spend some quality time with my hubby this weekend. 

Oh, but all the reading!! sigh...

The reason I can't lose weight

The reason I can't lose weight is because I love food so much. You know how people can't decide what they want to eat and they end up wasting time trying to find a place to eat? Well you probably won't have a problem like that if you eat with me. I will always have a place in mind, or rather, a food in mind. 

Another reason I can't lose weight is because I don't have the willpower to eat nothing but chicken breasts day in and day out to get that perfect body. My mom always said to me that no matter how much I exercise, if I don't reduce my intake, it will be useless. My reply to her always was that I didn't plan on eating more, so the exercise would only help. The math works out!! 

Well, I have to say now that my mom was right...in a sense. I renewed my membership at LA Fitness and started run/walking two days ago. Today, I did about 3 miles on the treadmill and came home, very hungry. I whipped up a pasta dish with garlic, tomatoes, onions, red bell peppers and olive oil. Sprinkled on some parmesan cheese and crushed red peppers, served myself up a plate and devoured it. It was delish! 

Unfortunately for me, I then served up a second plate for myself...sigh. I mean...it was wonderful! But now I have consumed two servings of dinner. I figure that had I not exercised, I probably wouldn't have had the second helping. I remember briefly thinking to myself, "Hey, you exercised, so it should be okay." 

NO! It's not okay!

I exercised, yes...but I ate more that I usually do for dinner! I am weak...sigh. Willpower...I need more of it. 

I am currently watching for about the 4th time, Julie and Julia. I have it playing as my background "music". I love it! Just love it! I probably will end up memorizing the lines just like I did with You've Got Mail.

out like a light

I had clinical lab all day yesterday...close to a 12 hour day. We learned a whole bunch of things, but most importantly, we learned how to start an IV. We practiced on dummy hands and arms, so it wasn't as scary as it is gonna be when we are at the actual facility, but I at least got the hang of the whole procedure. Last night after class, I headed straight to California Thai Cafe to get some yummy takeout. I ordered Tom Kha Gai soup and some pad thai. I came home, sat myself in front of some good Korean Variety Entertainment and enjoyed my dinner. Brian came home from his golf lesson close to 9:00 pm and the first thing I did was look and feel for his veins. It freaked him out a little and he yelled "bad touch!!" In any case, he has very nice and BIG veins. We have our testing next week so I will have to continually practice...(pretend practice) Sigh...I hope I get this.

Anywhoo, around 9:30 I lay down on the bed to review my lab skills and the next thing I know, it's 12:40 am!! Brian said I looked "cute" sleeping so he took a picture with his phone...I will delete this picture. It was not a flattering picture. 

Well I am pretty wide awake, so I will begin reading. 

Weekend~

First photo: Aloha burger from Crazee Burger. YUM! 

Second photo: Honey Milk Green Tea Boba from Tea Station. (I only drink this) Apparently they have a new thing now where you can choose between Sweet, Regular, and Light. I picked light and it was pretty good! Now if only Starbucks would take on this idea...

Third photo: Cutest little Android I got as a gift from my friend Jack. (thanks Jack!)

Current Status: very full and need to read...but falling asleep...
