Starting a Diet

So, I've decided to join my friend and start a diet. She's been counting calories for a month and a week, and lost 12 lbs. We are about the same height and she allows herself 1200 calories a day. I did some research on webMD and to loose 2 lbs. a week, I should only consume 1200 calories a day. I am adding a workout each morning to my diet and hope I get to my goal a little faster. Well, hopefully this works!

The Ghost Hunt

So, since the last story I posted... I decided to have some of my friends over to investigate my house... We had a little ghost hunt from 12am to 4am. All of us were in the livingroom, one of my friends and myself heard someone open and close the back laundryroom door twice then walk into the kitchen with about 7 footsteps.... Be silent for five minutes, then walk back to the laundryroom, then open and close the door two more times. Later that night we heard more small noises like tapping, some banging on the wall, the sound of a foot slam down on the ground between another girl and myself, I also saw someone standing in the kitchen later that night. I haven't looked at the video footage yet, but just from what we experienced, I emailed ghost hunters.

Scary Story

This just happened last night. I don't think I can describe how terrified I was... I was up alone around 11pm, I was making a cd on the computer, and I heard noises coming from the laundryroom. I thought it might be the cats eating, then I walked in the livingroom and both of them were sleeping. I went back to the computer and tried to ignore the sound. I looked over toward the laundryroom door after a while and saw someone looking at me through the window on the door and pushing the door open a little. I immediatly screamed for my fiance who was sleeping and quickly stumbled to the bedroom door from being terrified. I tried screaming for him again and my voice barily came out. I rushed in the door and told him someone was in the house. He loaded his gun and went to the laundryroom. I checked on our daughter meanwhile to make sure she was okay. I heard my fiance talking, so I cautiously walked to the laundryroom. He was giving a warning for whoever was in the house "I'll give you 10 seconds to leave". Nothing happened so he walked toward the back of the laundryroom and into the bathroom. No one was there. The doors were locked. And no one can get out our windows. Lets just say, I had the hardest time staying calm last night and going to sleep... But I wasn't staying up alone.

Paranormal Activity

So, last night I saw Paranormal Activity... It was the scariest movie I have ever seen. Possibly due to the documentary type film and from having my own experiences somewhat similar to the movie... Except for probably the last half hour... Which I am thankful for. I would definitly recommend this movie but if you don't believe in the paranormal, don't bother. The people next to me and in front of me would not stop commenting on the movie throughout the show. It was horrible to pay for a movie when your sitting next to people that don't like it and won't stop talking! My party had to move over but we could still hear them talking. Be polite next time you go to the movies and whisper or just shut up! LOL. The movie would have been scarier if people weren't talking. I will definitly have to rent the movie and watch it in the quiet privacy of my own home.

Looking For New Clients

I just recently started working at Scandals Full Service Salon. I am a hairstylist with 3 years experience looking for some new clients. I am offering discounts in order to build a new clientel. I worked at Beauty Connection for 2 years and had a great clientel but lost them when I left the salon. Most salons don't let you take your clients with you (they don't give you your clients info). I also worked at Regis for 8 months but with the new mall hours, I lost time that I could have worked there which made it not worth it. So, I am starting fresh, I make my own prices, the salon I am in is relaxed and hip. The girls that work here are really nice. I am offering $15 haircuts and 25% off haircolor services. You can call the salon to make an appointment or call me directly. I can fit you into my schedual and I am willing to make late appointments aswell. Scandals number is 442-7700 and my cell is 672-2029.

From the Heart

I really miss my family and all the family gatherings we use to have. It's ashame that we have all moved apart and I hope to create a family that can stay as close as we use to be. Every Christmas, we would get the family together and have a brunch buffet and Grandma's house and open presents. The presents were nice but the best part was having everyone there. It seems that as you grow up, things aren't as wonderful as they always seemed. You become less satisfied and don't like celebrating things because they aren't anything like what they were before. Every time you get your hopes up and get let down when you knew in the first place that it was going to happen. My whole family lived in San Diego, then I moved away, farther and farther every couple of years... Due to my mother and her fiance, so not by choice. Then my grandmother moved from San Diego to Texarkana, Arkansas. She was the heart of the family, but now she's so far away. I still live in Eureka, where my mother, stepfather, and I ended up. And now after they finally got married after 19 years of being engaged, have taken the steps to get divoriced (only married a year). So, my mother is in hiding, avoiding my phone calls, I don't mind seeing my stepfather (after all he did raise me), but he is really down right now and I would like to be more positive. Its hard not being around family, especially because the holidays are coming up and I really want family around. It's nice having get togethers. I miss having that warm loving feeling you get during the holidays when you are surrounded by people that love you. I really want that for my daughter too.

Car Registration Costs

Wow! I got my car registration renewal and its $338! That is $100 more than it was last year!... So, everyone, since we are in a recession, lets go ahead and raise costs that most people have to pay so we can pay our debt. This is rediculous. People are having a hard enough time as it is, I don't think we need anymore bills. I don't see how everyone is going to be able to keep their vehicles this year and the next. Normally when your bill is too high, there is someone to complain to and you will most likely get it lowered... But when it comes to the government, they get to do whatever the hell they want!
