Wallis was right. The most important thing in life is your family. There are days you love them, and others you don't, but in the end they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family you're born into and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself.

well well well, what a day. today was my last day of finals. i had a foods finals, and our group made some yummy fruit tart! HOT DAYM it was good.. 100 calories per little tart. that's a little less than a 20 minute run on the treadmill. wow i'm actually counting my calories... haha! yeahh right you swear! well today was a good time well spent with some KGH! girls. fun stuff.. yet VERY costly. =/ it was me, lucy, and yelena and we decided to do a little shopping for tomorrow cuz we wanted to look nice for our fundraiser and also for winterformal which is on feb. 14. yeah i know early shopping. i figured this is in my head, "i already know what to wear cuz i already have an outfit that i haven't worn for tomorrow, and i have another outfit i haven't worn for winterformal.. all i need are white slippers." yes those were my thoughts.. little did i know those thoughts were completely WRONG! =/ wowza! i wound up buying 2 skirts at forever 21 and 1 skirt at abercrombie grand total of about $70! plus i took $20 cash out of the ATM that day, and i bought white slippers, and i got $20 worth of gas. =/ holy crap.. the grand total of my expenses is *drum roll* $120! =/ NOTTT COOLLL! especially since i know daym well that i DO NOT need those skirts.. i mean i literally had outfits for the upcoming events already! i REALLY didn't need those things. what's wrong with me?! i don't think an ATM card is save for me to have... good thing my mom is the one holding onto my credit card.. or else who knows?!?! that one sex and the city quote REALLY does relate to me: "i like my money where i can see it, hanging in my closet." ohhh well. after the hollister skirt i swear i'm done! FORREALSSS!!! atleast my collection of skirts is increasing so that can't be too bad? well anyways, today was a really good day though.. hanging out with the girls and stuff.. just going to random shops and stuff.. i was AMAZED at how cheap things were at Marshall's. i mean i just wanted to buy random shirts there cuz they were so cheap and it felt like a crime not to buy them for so cheap.. cuz they were actually name brand, but i restrained myself. YAY! hahaha or maybe cuz i knew that i didn't have anymore money in my account to spend in the first place. hahaha! so yeah we walked all over the galleria getting stuff, and then we went to target to look for a stupid black wife beater! dammit they didn't have anymore!!! what a burn! next time, next time.. and that stuff is only $4.97 for 2! well after the 3 of us just ate and had panda express.. we devoured that thing cuz we were so tired and hungry.. then afterwards we went to urban outfitters and looked around.. saw some cool pillows! those pillows were amazing.. those pillows are added to the list of things that make me think! haha! well lucy FiNALLY found herself a black shirt... and then we went to media city center.. haven't been there in AGES! and we looked around there... lucy bought a marilyn monroe bag similar to my i love lucy bag.. it's cute. and then we went to the anchor blue store there and saw a bunch of solid black shirts.. and we all cracked up cuz we're like i bet you this same rack was at the gdale one we just thought we'd get it someplace else like target.. but target didn't have them.. so that was gay. we were sooo verryy tired! my feet hurt so much!! yelena and i didn't get to do our work out today, but it's okay cuz all the walking around and stuff surely made up for it. tomorrow maybe? haha when exactly i'm not sure. okay well i'm going to get going now.. i have to clean up my closet so i can fit all the pretty clothes.. and trash some stuff that i won't be wearing anymore.. latersss!!! and don't forget guys

there's my advertisement for that.. after school today yelena and i went on with our usual work out. we're getting better at this work out stuff.. we're sweating some more! haha! i'm guessing that's a good thing, and my stomach is getting more tone! WOO HOO! this working out thing is actually paying off.. but how come i weight more than when i started?! is it supposed to be like that? well i mean i think i'm gaining more muscle.. but i mean wowza it seems like i gained more weight, and i mean i wasn't trying to lose weight but just get more tone.. hmm.. i dont know whatever. anyways after working out yelena and i walked to subway and got some healthy fulfilling food! =) and then we met up with franco, karl, and alex at abercrombie where we were looking at skirts, and then we all just went to karl's house. we all had hookah there.. it was weird. we had cherry flavor, and i mean the thing didn't taste at all like cherry. it left a really nasty after taste on your tongue. i don't think i want to do that anymore... maybe a different flavor would be better. after chilln there for a bit yelena and i left karl's house and i dropped her off.. i picked up my aunt in n. hollywood and headed home. i was starved by the time i got home.. so i ate, but not too much. SELF CONTROL! now i just gotta practice that self control with my shopping.. ooh speaking of shopping i saw the cutest dress at windsor.. i might purchase it for winterformal it's so adorable.. but we'll see.. dress or hollister skirt? we'll see... okay gotta go now. tough tough final tomorrow for Foods.... haha ORR NOT! we just gotta cook somethign for our final project.. reminds me of saved by the bell.. how cool. laters guys!

Don’t want to have you hanging
Around me like a leech
I think you're just a problem
So stay the hell away from me
Because I don’t believe in you
And I wanna sit here all my life alone
This may sound a little rough
Don’t want to fall in love
-- green day; "don't want to fall in love"

okay so how about instead of studying i sat on the nice soft couch next to my computer table and i fell asleep. that couch is dangerous! i did the sme thing last night when i was reading. i lied down on that thing and fell asleep when i was reading. i thought if i studied upstairs i would have less distractions to deal with than studying downstairs, cuz downstairs i would have the kitchen and the TV, 2 REALLY big distractions for me. well today was the first day of finals.. and mine were so very hard (sarcasm). actually i don't have a first period, and my second period is only a TA class, but she asked me to come in and stuff, so that's the only reason i even went to that class. i was wearing some GHS football shorts haha! the guys looked at me and was all, "wtfreak is that?!" yeahh yeahh. oh well. after my hard day of finals yelena and i went to work out at 24 hr fitness.. the usual routine afterschool. so we went to 24 hr fitness, worked our asses out... i'm very proud of myself i ran my whole treadmill run today! it felt really good to sweat! haha! but yeah seriously.. i like it, and i love the fact that i can actually see/feel the difference from my workouts. i will have a Britney Spears body in about oooh let's say 98798991723 months! oh yes! hahahaha! oh well... i'll atleast stay fit and stay healthy.

you guys i think i'm a shop-a-holic. i don't know i have a problem with controlling my urges to shop. i go to hollister & co. and it's over. it's like i have to get certain things.. i feel like i HAVE to get them! for example my latest stalk is this skirt i'm going insane for it! and also this jacket and it doesn't help to have an ATM/check card and a credit card... so it makes shopping and going to buy these items 187219823 times harder than usual.. and i know i have a ton of clothes, cuz i mean i'm going to have to use the guest bedroom closet to fix my clothes cuz i dont' have enough room in mine. =/ but i just get this feeling like i don't have enough sometimes, cuz i'll try and choose what to wear and it feels like i've worn everything i have! even though tehre are still items in my closet hanging with the tag still attached to them, cuz i don't take off the tag until i actually wear the peice of clothing. =/ okay i really should contain my shopping indulgences the way i control my eating indulgences.. i'm going to practice some self control.. after i buy those two things from Hollister. =/ hahaha!

must study now! byee!!!
