adios muchacha

so FINALLY.... after I thought she was going home like 5 times...Ramiele is OFF American Idol! YAY!

Wahooo.... I'm excited about going to the Outer Banks! We are going the week of June 22nd! Yippeee!

happy day!

I was in a bad mood yesterday...so today I'm making up for it. I'm in a MUCH better mood today! :)

I think my exercise routine helps me have my necessary endorphins... today I was on the treadmill for 45 minutes and in that span of time I was able to walk/run over 4 miles! I was very proud of myself. Yesterday I couldn't find the energy to do anything and it made me feel like crap.





Yesterday I didn't eat lunch... I think I might have eaten some Easter candy. Probably the reason I lacked energy!





Today I stopped at McDonald's on the way home from CB. I got a water, a parfait and a honey mustard grilled chicken snack wrap. Click here: McDonald's USA - Nutrition Facts for Your McMeal My meal had 420 calories, 11 grams of fat, 22 grams of protein, and 2 grams of fiber.





Tonight for dinner Jesse grilled some chicken breasts. I made a box of stove-top stuffing (Jesse LOVES that stuff!) and some Hot Corn.





Here's the recipe...

Cracker Barrel went pretty well today. (Aside from a Shift Leader named Linda getting onto me for not wiping my table...shes a spaz!) I worked 9 to 3 and made almost 60 bucks. I trained a girl today. Her name is Bronwyn. I know, strange name....but I like it. Shes a strange girl too, but she kinda grows on you.

Well.. I'll let you know if I find a good hair salon.

I guess I'm going to go search the Internet for a good hair salon in Winston...and then I'm gonna go upstairs to watch the American Idol results w/ Holli & Lester.

yo yo dawg

Just my opinion...but I think Ramielle or Kristy Lee Cook shall be packin' their bags tomorrow. Personally I'm hoping its Ramielle, but I've never been a fan. As of right now my vote is for David Cook to win! :) Brooke White is my #2 and David Archuletta is my 3. Jason Castro is #4.....The Austrailian guy is #5...Carly is #6....Syesha is 7....Kristy Lee Cook is 8....and Ramielle is my #9. Here's a link to the american idol webpage.

bad mood today

I've been cranky today for no good reason. I'm going to try to be nice for the rest of the evening!

I was in the smoking section at Cracker Barrel today... for about 40 minutes. Then I got moved to the middle dining room and I was SO glad.

I wanted to go for a walk/jog with Jesse when I got home cause it was so pretty and nice today. Well... he decided that we should find a different trail. So we drove around to 2 different parks but neither were as nice as the one we usually use. So, we left them and went over to our normal place. Jesse shot his basketball a little..but by that point I had lost my energy and I had to pee. There was a porta-potty over there but it was NASTY & I wasn't about to go in there. Yuck.

So we came home and cleaned out the fridge...loaded the dishwasher...swept the floor....and then cooked dinner.

We had seared salmon with a balsamic vinegar reduction sauce with pasta salad in a balsamic basil vinaigrette. I had some corn and Jesse had a baked potato. I know...too many starches, but we haven't been to Wal-mart in 3 weeks... I have been trying to use what we have and clean out the fridge, freezer, and the pantry this week. I was going to make some frozen broccoli but when I thawed it there were only 4 florets left.... I hate how they give you all stalks. So I had to use the veggies that I had.

I have friday off this week and I'm really glad. I hate working 5 days straight..I know, I'm spoiled. But Jesse and I desperately need to go to Wal-mart and we'll probably drive to the Mocksville Wal-mart on Friday.

In just a few minutes Jesse and I will be going upstairs to watch American Idol w/ Holli & Lester. I still haven't had a shower and my hair probably smells like Cracker Barrel's fireplace..so I'm going to go spray some body spray on it. :) I can't miss American Idol for a shower!!
