Hmmm. That didn't go according to plan....
Sep. 6th, 2010 12:57 pmHello, all! I hope everyone is having a lovely day. For my fellow Americans, I hope your Labor Day is a nice day off. If you have it off. And if you don't, I hope you get paid loads for working today.
I - in a fit of boredom and wanting something to do, dyed my hair red. Which didn't go exactly as planned. I'm not sure what happened, since I'm pretty sure I completely saturated my hair with the color. But there are long streaks of my regular color, so I think I may have to go back and buy another box and just completely soak my head in it. It doesn't look bad, and I like the color. But - I feel a bit like a zebra.
Also, making my very first roast in the crockpot today. Not sure how it's going to turn out, since the crockpot is smaller than I remembered, and i in order to get the potatoes, onions and carrots in the pot, I had to put the roast in first and then fill it with water. So now the roast is totally submerged. Hrrrrmmm. I'm thinking it may be more like a soup than a roast. Oops.
Anyway, not much going on. I'm going to try and work some more on my story. I'm at 47000 words now, and it is by far the longest story I have ever written. Only the boys have been rather silent lately, and I'm not sure why. Have to try and pry the story out of my head. Chocolate should be an appropriate bribe to the muse.
And speaking of which, kind of, I'm going to check out eliptical machines today. I have trouble getting to the gym because of my schedule, and an eliptical is one of the things I can use for hours and not have it aggravate my knee or back. Hopefully my stomach will get with the program, too. But for now I'm just looking at prices and sizes and such. I have the perfect place for it, and honestly, I know that if I spend money on it, I will work my butt off, literally. So, yeah. The goal is to lose 30 pounds by March. We'll see if I can get there. I'm already trying to eat right and cutting out a lot of junk and stuff. But the exercise is the one thing I really have to work on. Wish me luck!
Have a great day, everyone!
