Big weekend ahead. Today a little bit of sleep is on the agenda. I slept a ton yesterday because I had cramps like no other and I just wanted to curl up on my heating pad. So I did. I set my alarm, but it meant nothing. I slept through it. I guess I needed that. I may do it again today if the Pamprin doesn’t kick in soon.

Tomorrow my little sister moves into her very first apartment and I’m helping. It’s a third floor apartment, so it’s not going to be a lot of fun, but I’d do almost anything for my sister. I mean I probably wouldn’t commit a serious crime or anything, but anything within reason. It’s her boyfriend’s birthday, too, so I’m gonna haul my grill over to their apartment so we can grill hamburgers and stuff. She’s moving pretty close to me, so maybe I’ll get to spend more time with her. She’s my workout partner and they love Guitar Hero and I’m excited at the thought of having someone to play with more often. It probably won’t happen that way. She’s pretty busy. She goes to school and works, so she probably won’t have time to play Guitar Hero with me. So if I don’t reach my goal of hitting expert level on the game, I will blame my sister.

This is a HUGE football weekend and I have become that girl who walks around high-fiving everyone who will high five me back when we go watch the game at Buffalo Wild Wings. That’s my favorite place to go and watch football with friends. And they have the boxing game where I tend to kick a little booty whenever someone is up to challenge me. The other day I scored a 790. That’s pretty amazing if you ask me. And I didn’t even take a running start! I have to stand for a lot of the game because I have a tendency to get overly excited and jump and throw my hands around and would probably knock a table over if I didn’t stand up. And I love to eat the chicken tender wrap with hot sauce and then a little extra sauce on the side.  And diet coke. I love diet coke too. I really love Coke Zero, but they don’t serve that anywhere that I know of. Except now you can get it at the convenience store fountain drink thingy. Speaking of convenience stores, is there anything better than a truck stop burrito? I wish there was a truck stop close to my apartment. But I might never leave. You can get everything at a truck stop. Cell phones, fun dog ornaments, “Born to be a trucker” belts, all meat hot dogs, fudge, iPOD accessories, self heating Swedish meatballs…EVERYTHING! They have the Flamin’ Finger game at some truck stops and I can fill up while I’m there…and if I’m dirty I could shower, but I’m not gonna. I was going to. In fact it was my New Years resolution. And seeing a truck stop shower is on my to-do list, but I doubt I will shower. Maybe I will if I get a wild hair and a shot or three of truck stop tequila.

Do you know what I want right now? And the sure fire way to tell when I am a hormonal mess? Refried beans. I crave them when it’s my time of the month. And it is. So I want them. I don’t think I have any at home. I have black beans and BBQ baked beans and maybe even some lima beans, but no refried. Probably because I ate them all. I might stop at Target on the way home to buy some Spot Shot and other items…maybe I can add refried beans to that list. I love Target. They have my chocolate soy milk on sale this week and I need to get more of that. I love soy milk. It’s good because I’m lactose intolerant and soy milk is a happy alternative to whole milk, skim milk, 2% milk…all of it. And it’s so tasty, too! Have a good weekend!
