Bed Being Taken Over! ; No More Schoolwork - Bored!; No-S update

December 13th, 2009 at 01:51 am

Earlier this afternoon I wanted to take a nap. In order to do so, I had to carefully manipulate Max who was sprawled completely across the middle, and find enough space on the edge. Later, Nikki came and jumped up - she found space behind my back.

I eventually had to get up (to take my practice exam) and both animals left as well.

While I was taking my exam, both animals returned and were trying to get my attention. I told them I couldn't pay attention to them right then, because I was taking a timed test. They both eventually ended up on the bed again. Max on top, and Nikki wrapped up under the covers - peeking out her head once in a while.

The practice exam, my very last assignment for the semester, had a time limit of 3 hours. So, I figured if I started it around 6, and finished by 9, I'd have time to mess around on the internet for a bit and then head off to bed.

Well... it was 80 multiple choice questions. Even with the animal interruptions and taking my time on each question, I was finished in roughly 50 minutes.

No more schoolwork (assigned at least) until January 19!

So now I'm trying to figure out what to do the rest of the evening.

I think I've used up my allotment of Netflix streaming for December (I'm on the $4.99/mo plan - two DVD's at home a month + 4 or 5 hours streaming). So, until I figure out how to get the DVD program working again, I can't watch movies on my computer.

Really don't feel like watching t.v.

Eh.. I'll figure out something I'm sure.

Tomorrow I'm thinking that I'll make my Oatmeal/Banana/Quinoa/Chocolate pancakes for breakfast, plus some to freeze for later. Then will try to find the dollar theater to see "Invention of Lying."
Then I suppose I could put some time into organizing my room better. Maybe I'll go over to the animal shelter too and volunteer some ..

Recently I've gotten a hankering for The Cheesecake Factory's Eggplant sandwich. I've had it twice, and it was *so* good, yet definitely not cheap. I wonder how difficult it would be to make that myself? I've bought eggplants before with the intention of making something with them ... but they completely deteriorated before I got to them. Maybe because I was just too intimidated to figure out how to actually cook one - so I procrastinated??

So far no spending today .. but it's only 7:42 and I'm bored.. hopefully I can figure out something to do for the next few hours that won't cost anything.

Oh yes, the No-S update - or "Why I Love the Weekends!" I started the No-S eating plan on July 23rd. It went well for the first month or so, and then had a few bumps and bruises for a few weeks. Since then though, I've done well on it.

As of today, I have lost 12.8 lbs since starting! Which is 17.2 lbs less than my highest weight (reached in June).

I just can't express fully how happy and content I am with this way of eating and living.

    My bed is the same way. I mentioned my cat sleeps between us. But sometimes she really hogs up my side of the bed!! (I suppose it's good I only have one pet!)

    Congrats on being done with school for a month!

    One really awesome thing to make with eggplant is eggplant french fries. It's been a long time since I have had them, like at least 20 years, but my mom used to put tempura batter on them and fry them. It was the only way she could get my brother to eat them.

    I love the photo of your furbabies. I have two cats and they like to sleep with me, too. One of them likes to crawl under the covers and sleep right next to me. The other one likes to burrow under a pile of blankets, coats, laundry, or whatever and sleep. She will even sleep on top of the laundry.

    What to do that's cheap: play with the pets!

    Thanks Monkeymama Smile
    Househopeful - that's what I've heard too. I'll let you know how it is tomorrow.

    Liblady,

    The eggplant fries do sound good ... just have to get the courage to actually go from buying the eggplant to cooking it! Nikki seems to most enjoy burrowing under covers. My bed was made before she decided to get under cover. Wink
    baselle,

    True. Big Grin Very true.

    I ended up getting up and drinking some water, then made hot cocoa w/marshies, and got on the computer and surfed. Now it's 11:19 and time to go to bed.

    I tried uninstalling windows media player 11 and reinstalling it ... dvd program is still not working. Ugh.
