Meari's Monday Update 3/10/08

School
Last week, I found out that I got a C on my first test in B-Law... 3 points away from a B, so I was bummed. :( I was also bummed to find out the instructor wants us to make up the two days where school was called off due to snow. So guess who will be spending Spring Break at school, not one night but two nights of B-Law II! *ack*


Rant
Recently, my city acquired a Super Walmart. The place is huge... overwhelming HUGE! Not only that, it's waaaay on the outskirts of town. Both of these things mean that I can't do my Walmart errands on my lunch hour anymore. I went to Walmart after work to get a few things. TWO HOURS later I finally walk out of the store. No one I've talked to has good things to say about this Super Walmart. What do my loyal (lol) readers have to say?


Getting Fit
Hmmm... Is it just my imagination? Walmart had some slacks on clearance for $3 (Couldn't pass THAT up!) so I tried on a size 10. They were a bit loose! I know different brands have different fits, but...? I actually have to use a belt for these slacks.

I don't know if I've shared this tidbit of information, and for some it may be TMI, but here goes: I detest yogurt. (What did you think I was going to say?) Even with the fruity stuff, I've always had a difficult time getting past the smell and then the taste of it. Yogurt ice cream, no problem. Yogurt, no way! Why am I going on about yogurt? Because it's supposed to be good for me. At least that's what experts say. Not only that, I've seen commercials on TV about yogurt drinks in the bottle. Have you actually priced one of those bottles? They're like $2-3+! Crazy. I had a brain storm idea: I bought the Walmart brand of "light" fruit-flavored yogurt (40cents), poured it into an empty juice bottle (Single serving size you can get at the gas station... with the one inch or so opening) and then filled it up part way with skim milk. Shake, then fill up the rest of the way with milk. Shake again. Viola! Yogurt drink. I've tried the Aldi's brand of yogurt - yuck. Nasty. For some reason, I can suck down my homemade yogurt drink, no problem! And at a fraction of the cost getting them at the store. Not only that, I'm keeping "green" by re-using the juice bottles. I re-fill them with water, too.

My exercise this week was dismal. :( I only worked out twice this week.


Date Night?
I had a last minute invite to a movie on Saturday night. J has been kicking around the idea of us going out on a date for some time. We saw 10,000 BC. Through the entire movie, he sat next to me with his arms crossed over his chest. I can't decide whether the theater was too cold for him (It was cold), or if it was an insight to his personality. After the movie, I thanked him and we went our separate ways. After I got home, he sent me a text message about how he would've rather done painting (He knew I'd been painting my bathroom mirror.) so we could've talked. I agreed. Next, I received a text message: "I'm probably not what you're looking for anyway." Whoa, what?! Do I detect insecurity? Men!
