post for yesterday Monday the 14th =)

Hello!

Yesterday before I went to bed I wasn’t feeling good and too tired to write. So here’s all the ‘exciting’ stuff that happened yesterday….

My coworker hurt his back so I played it solo. Not to much happened. I organized some paperwork and tried to make a game plan for this week. I did get one of my packages from amazon, my electric duster!! It works a little to well, it’s really powerful. Another words I better clear off the desk or set weights on the papers before I start to use it. I had fun with it yesterday cleaning the office a bit.

I bought my mother her birthday gift, an antique Brass Candlestick Phone made by Western Electric and marked ‘PAT IN USA AUG 16 1904’. She has been searching for years for a candlestick phone and couldn’t find one around the area we live for the past few years. I remember last year I took her down to Centrallia and we spent the whole day on her birthday searching for one. I felt really bad we couldn’t find one. Soooooooooo I figured I’d surprise her by getting a really nice one. Most of the ones online were in crummy condition or they wanted wayyyy to much for them. I never realized how rare they’re getting now a days. I called the owner yesterday to make sure it was still there and it was. The company is called Ruby Lane out of Tennessee and the owner is really sweet! Apparently it should arrive to my mother’s house by the end of the week. :)

When I got off work I finally decided to get the tv from my coworker that he wasn’t using anymore and hooked up the wii. I bought wii fit to go along with the system. After about 30 mins of set up, I worked out for about 30 mins. In the beginning of wii fit it tells you your bmi and weight… what your weight should be etc. My average weight back home is about 135, my weight now is 154. That would explain why I can’t fit into any of my pants I shipped to myself. I have bout 4 pants that fit out of the 12 I have here. Soooo somehow I ended up gaining 20 pounds in two months. My BMI is 127 and wii fit said I’m over weight for my age and height (5’3). I suppose I needed that last night, because now I’m motivated to eat healthier and exercise. I’ve now gotten into the habit in the past week of getting my food to go at the chow hall, that way I’m not tempted by all the other food that sounds sooooooooooooo good. I’ve quit drinking soda, just juice, tea, and water.

Last note… it got up to 127 degrees. A soldier described it best when he said: I feel like I’m walking in an oven.
