On a lighter note...

Now that I've got that off my chest, I should probably do a life update. Heh.

Still sober. It's been something like a month. I'm trying not to get too crazy about keeping track of my progress, 'cause every time I've obsessively tracked days/months/whathaveyou, I've fallen off the wagon shortly after. Who knows why. No AA, no nothing. Just me and Terry's support and love of each other, keeping reminders in the back of my head of exactly why I don't want to be drunk, finding fun stuff to do that doesn't involve drinking/bars and A LOT OF SEX. It helps a lot more than you'd think. And with that said, not only the quantity, but the quality of that area itself has improved leaps and bounds. Holy. Fucking. Hell. Fuck drunk sex, you guys.

We've been tanning lately. I think we've gone a grand total of four times in the medium-pressure beds and we're already dark as fuck. I've never in my life seen every inch of my skin this dark and it's nuts. My stomach, lower back, upper thighs and ass have been white (well, as white as a white-mexican gets, I guess, heh!) my whole life. It's a new experience, heh! I'm gonna go on Thursday to even out my sides and then I'll take some bikini pictures. Heh. 'Cause I'm just crazy-dark.

I guess the only things that are still bad right now are the smoking, energy drinks (drinking Wired from the dollar store until I get paid, which sucks 'cause they have high-fructose corn syrup in them. Monsters and Rockstars don't have that and I cut it out of my diet a LONG time ago.) and the tanning. Not gonna get crazy about that last one, though. Just trying to even my skin out 'cause I can. Gonna go two more times and then maintain it once a week or so.

Next month Terry and I are gonna start yoga. There's this studio in a barn in Island Crossing that does yoga, pilates and bellydancing. I'm thinking I'll start the yoga and then take bellydancing sometime in October. Should be fun.

There's also been talk of a road trip to Palm Desert sometime this fall. Terry has family down there he hasn't seen in a long time. I'm really hoping that pans out. And everyone knows I love a road trip. Gotta start saving some cash.

Work has been pretty lame. I'm thankful to have a job and everything, but I really get tired of the retail environment. Especially in that goddamn mall. I need something that's a little more challenging and... certain. Not to mention a higher wage. Heh. Everyone always tells me to slow down 'cause I work too goddamn hard, but I don't feel like I am at all. I hate not being busy and having to create things to do. And I sure as hell am not just gonna stand around. If I'm at work, there should be WORK to be done, ya know? I'm not gonna be one of those people who gets paid to stand behind a cashwrap all day. Besides, when you're not doing anything, your shift just fucking CRAWLS. I swear, if I'm not a supervisor within a couple months...

Other than all that, not much is going on. Just cleaning house and working and driving (and humping, heh!). My birthday is just over two weeks away. I wanna do something epic, as I always want to every year, but I don't think much is going on. Bumbershoot is on my brithday weekend, but the only good bands are playing Sunday and Monday. BAH. And it doesn't look that great anyhow. Just Yeah Yeah Yeahs on Sunday, Black Eyed Peas, Franz Ferdinand, Metric and Modest Mouse on Monday. Hmmmm.

I'll find something. Be it a show or tattoos or something.

Anyhow. I think I'm gonna go do some more laundry. Yusss.
