Weekend Break

yea. i get at least a couple of days off from BOTH work and school. it's been a tough couple of weeks. midterms over and so far i've been doing good.

so today i slept in.

felt good but then i felt the day was wasted. i do like getting up early now. i used to hate it. but i can get so much done before 10am. it's usually quiet. but seems like around here people are always working on something and it's loud. loud trucks. always sawing or chopping or some shit like that going on. cars coming down the street constantly and i'm not on a busy road plus it's a dead end so i don't understand where all these people are going.

i was supposed to photograph my niece and sister today but instead spent too much time at the pet store. i go to only one of two places in this stinkin small town to get feeders for my babies. it's across town but my snakes won't eat dead animals so i have to get them live. but my father's goldfish had died so i took the fish tank. i couldn't decide if i wanted fish, a turtle, a spider or a scorpion in there, but eventually decided on fish.

OMG a show is on the travel channel as i type on Australia. how cool is that. i'm off to watch it in a second.

so i decided to get a couple of starter fishies, the cheapest (besides goldfish) was the hets just in case i killed them. so far they are doing good. they look so tiny in this tank. also got a couple of plants and some wood. i had my own rocks, actually they were my nieces but hell i don't need colored gravel. and so far they seem to be ok. i had a hitchhiker in the plants so now i have a snail. had two hitchhikers in with my fish so unless they died i have two krill swimming around in there. after i dumped them in the tank they seemed to have disappeared.

ya know, marilyn monroe was a size 12. with all the stupid shit on tv about the skinnyness of hollywood and models, i think people spend too much time wanting to be a size 0. you know, what the fuck is a size zero? it isn't a size. i'm not entirely happy with my own size, but that's more toning rather than weight. i am not obese. i'm not really even too fat. i don't eat horribly all the time anymore (i used to crave fast food during my cycle and now i crave a sub, go figure). it's not rocket science. it's a matter of DOING: get off the couch and move more. quit stuffing your face with cinnamon buns (well i don't eat those but i'm just speaking of people in general, cause i'm tired of hearing people say they are fat as they shovel a Krispy Kreme in their mouth or eating a 15oz steak) and eat more healthy. i don't want to be a model----i just want to be healthy.......

ok, off to watch Australia Revealed.

two things i REALLY want to do there: see a platypus live, and visit however many zoos i can (most specifically the one run by Steve Irwin)
