What can you do on a beautiful Sunday? How about the beach, bike ride, or anything outdoors? Well, yes but I had a better idea. I spent all day on YouTube! I have always visited YouTube every once in awhile. Since taking the digital writing class, with Bill Gaskins I have been amazed with it! Who knew there was such great videos out there! I have spent the better part of my day catching up on Greek Mythology. (Since now I am the biggest fan of Percy Jackson.) Then a hour on the Make-up Geek! I don't even wear makeup and I know how to apply it correctly now. I fell in love with the HOPE Christian Academy videos. I even watched the greatest love song my best friend wrote for her fiancée! Way to go Jen! I am also inspired by the Weight Watchers videos others have posted! I have seen some things that made me blush but overall, I love YouTube now! I think Facebook is going to be so jealous of my new addiction!

My New Journey
As much as I hate writing, I am writing and almost starting to enjoy it. (Thanks Bill for the confidence booster)If am going to live the life of a blogger I need to find my passion. Yes I could write about school or education because they are my passions but I need to write about something else. I live and breathe school so, I am going to take a break from writing about it. I have started a new journey in my life. Well to be honest it is not that new, I have started at least a hundred times, just never quite made it over the first speed bump.
Two weeks ago My dad and I started Weight Watchers, and to my amazement we are doing great. At our first weigh-in we both lost seven pounds. I have a lot of encouragers to cheer me on! A friends/co-workers are doing the program as well. It is a great help, and they keep me on track at work, while my family keeps me on track at home. Thank goodness they are there. I give the Mountain Dew machine the "evil eye" every time I walk into the workroom. I even sometimes say mean things to it when the workroom is empty. Yeah, I know that is crazy, but if you know me then you know I describe myself as "crazy normal". I have not had a Mountain Dew in fifteen days and three hours! I might need a support group just for that.
I am off to a good start, and even hit the speed bump, or should I say wall! Yesterday I went to go get dinner for Dalton and myself at McDonald's. I had all intentions of ordering a Happy Meal. When I went to order the my mouth just did the talking without consorting with my brain and ordered me a Quarter-pound meal. I was in a state of shock! How could I start telling the drive-thru person my mouth made a mistake? So I just went with it and luckily the brain stepped up to the plate and got me a Diet Coke and instead of a Mello Yellow. The whole three minute drive back home I was feeling guilty. I had came up with a million options for my mouth's disaster. I could just eat half or eat none and get Smart One out of the freezer. Well, being one who owns up to my mistakes, no matter if was not my fault, I ate the whole thing and did not even check the point value, because ever single bite was worth it! I did reprimand my mouth by making it drink water after I finished my Diet Coke.
I crashed into the wall, well the only choice I have is to get up and start again. I know I am going to make a few mistakes and fall off a couple of times, but I have a goal and I want to accomplish it. I want to go back to Europe, and I want to fit in the airplane seat without spilling into Dalton's seat! So I am going to sink my Titanic!
