Random Head Thoughts

Hello friends!
Last week was Josh's birthday and we celebrated by going to IHOP for breakfast, seeing Harry Potter (awesome!), then having his birthday cake (a Publix red velvet cake with their amazing butter cream frosting), then enjoying a nice evening of sushi with a friend. Last weekend we had two days off together so we ate more (MORE!) sushi, more than any one person should consume in one sitting! It was yummy. We have a new-found love of sushi! Saturday we went up to Charlotte to South Park mall. If you don't know South Park, it's a mall for the rich people of Charlotte. It has a Tiffany's, a Louis Vuitton, a Lacoste, a Tommy Bahama (awesome clothes there), and basically all the rich store by designers. They also have a California Pizza Kitchen, which is the BEST pizza! It's Josh's fav restaurant, so we went there and met my BFF from college Gabby and her hubby Dennis for a great dinner.

Other than all that, the past two weeks have been pretty uneventful. I work usually 5 days a week (no set days other than always Sat and Sun) and usually two of those days I work doubles. I have to say, I really am very happy with my job. I am slightly concerned about the money. I had been making really great money, but it's tapered off. I seem to be getting 10% all the time now. And I know I am doing a great job (the guests tell me this!). I've been at the place for 2 months-ish now, and I'm doing good, less errors, know the menu better, giving better service. So why the drop in money? I should be making MORE.

I added two more classes to my fall schedule at Midlands Tech. A religion course and a philosophy course. The 5 classes I'm taking will transfer over to USC and to my major. If all goes well and everything transfers correctly, it looks like I will be graduating in December of 2013. Sounds good to me!! I'm way too excited and anxious right now. I feel USC with accept me, but part of me still is fearful of being denied...

Other than that...

Set your DVRs! Tomorrow night begins Shark Week! Thursday night is the premier of Jersey Shore in Italy! And, Monday begins AMC's Mob Week, which will be showing some of the best movies ever (hello, The Godfather!)

Enjoy your Saturday!


Oops... almost forgot!

Weight loss so far this round:
13.3 pounds!

Weight loss since the adventure began around this time last year:
36.9 pounds

Pounds to go for Goal:
44.8

Total pounds I will have lost at goal:
81.7


The goal is to be near goal weight by the time I start Carolina (fingers crossed) on January 9, 2012. This gives me about 5 months. Can I lose 9 pounds a month? I think so!
