It seem like I haven't blogged in forever. It's not that I didnt want to or didn't have anything to say but for some reason blogger wouldn't post anything I wrote. I tried three times early last week but nothing ever showed up on my blog. Then I was too busy later in the week to blog because I was studying like mad for my midterms friday and saturday. How dare they make us write a two hour midterm on a Saturday morning. Have they no mercy?
Anyway, Today I went grocery pickin'. I went all out, even bought some name-brand stuff. I have decicded that I really need to make meals a priority. Between being really busy and living off a student loan I don't eat as much as I should. I always eat but usually not good food, and I almost never have a real meal. I grab a little of this or that between classes or when I take a break from studying. When I get home from school I am usually to tired to make anything substantial. Visiting my aunts' once a semester is not enough to keep the meat on my bones. I need to take better care of myself, after all I am not my own belong to God. So today I splurged and bought all sorts of things. Vanessa, you can tell your mom that I bought some fruits and veggies, lot's of them, well at least I think it is a lot. I bought, Teddy Grahams, Goldfish, trail mix, and other yummies for my school lunches. I even bought 2% milk, I usually drink skim, but I need some extra calories to get back to a healthy weight. And I have decided that I can have no more than one chocolate bar a week, excluding the smarties I put in my peanut butter sandwiches.
On a completely different note, is it really that strange that I don't have cable? Please tell me. I have gotten a few calls from Sasktel, offering me their special version of cable at a super low price. They always start by asking me who my current cable provider is. When I tell them I don't have cable they can't believe it. This last guy that called was really funny. At first he was silent.
"No cable at all? Not from shaw, or satelite or anything?" He seemed unable to grasp the concept of someone living without tv.
"You really don't have cable? Not even a basic package?"
Talking to customers like their are from another planet is not the way to get them to buy your product. It didn't really bother me, but it kinda sad to think that someone is so consumed with television that they can't grasp the idea of living without it. There is a lot of stuff that you can do besides watch tv, and they are usually more fun, and always more productive.

I agree tv is over rated. We love not having cable. as for the peanut butter and smartie sandwiches, I don't think I have ever meat anyone who put that kinda stuff on a sandwich. Your a Crazy girl, thats why I love you so much.
Glad to hear that the exams are over and I'm sure you did well also, that you went grocery pickin and bought yourself some good food. As for TV, I can't imagine when you would find time to watch it much so why spend that hard earned money on cable.
Take care

Good for you! Vegetables and fruits are full of antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for sustaining a healthy body. (I know I would get slapped right now if I was saying this to you in person!) Alas, fruit chews do not count. I will tell my mom - perhaps now she can get some sleep at night!
