So,
I finally weaned myself off of wellbutrin, and now I just have to get off of caffeine and sugar and I'll be good to go. I bought "Body for Life" at a yard sale for 25 cents today. I'm gonna see if any of these so called "health" books do any good. They all say I need to stop eating junk food. Shyeah...as if! It's really hard for me to not eat the sweets, therefore, I must be a sugar addict. Ah well. I hate the popular phrase usedin the weight loss bizz, "nothing tastes as good as it feels to be thin." I beg to differ, else I'd be thin.
But I have put on some weight here in the last while, and since the wellbutrin didn't help me take any off (what a crap load of wasted hopes that proved to be,) I will have to try the good, old fashioned way to lose weight: exercise and cutting back on tasty eats. I did read today that they actually use human hair in store-bought bread and pizza dough for a taste enhancer and preservative. Blech! If that is true, then I should be able to get off the bread. They actually grind up the hair and call it L-ceistine or something like that. Sick.
But yeah, this summer I think will be a good one. I'm actually beginning to like it here. I really like the neighborhood we live in. I don't really know any of my neighbors, but the houses and yards are soooo cute! I took a good long walk around the 'hood the other day and I must say, I was quite impressed with people's landscaping skills. Someday I'm going to have a well-manicured lawn and a well-groomed garden. It will also be in a yard with a patio built for patio furniture and a nice grill. Yep, I have plans all right; good plans.
My plans for my future rock. I'm finally going back to school this summer and I'm going to teach English in High School. This is my dream. Also, I still really really want to travel.
I would love to take my students on tours to Europe. Ummm.....so I am going to do that and it will be nice and lovely. As I looked through my folders and papers for Lit courses I've taken, I realized that I really dig being a student. I really miss it. One of my teachers kept writing on my assignments expressing how good a writer I am. That makes me happy. Although, I'm not sure whether she meant my writing skills are satisfactory or that she actually likes how I write.
Anywho, I'm going to start waxing prolific one of these days and turn out some kick-ass theme papers and stories. Yep, mmm hmmm, good plan. :)
