Ever have one of those days where you desperately want to do something but also desperately do not want to leave your house? Totally having one of those days. And so, I wash laundry, I read while I slowly do chores, I ventured out for about 45 minutes to see the BFF that I haven't seen in 2 months, and also just realized that I haven't eaten yet today. Not hungry though. Strange? Huh.
Had a really good time with friends on Saturday night. I made some seriously tasty (if I do say so myself) BBQ pulled pork, among other tasty treats, and there was much drinking to go along with it. I now realize that I just can't drink like I used to. This is probably a good thing, but it's starting to make me feel old. *sigh* At any rate, looks like I'll be hanging with these friends even more and will be spending time in their studio. They've been working on music projects, which are not really my style, but I'll take anything I can get at this point. Just to get my feet wet, as it's been forever since I've had a microphone in front of me. I really do miss it. I even miss the nerves I had...and the accompanying adrenaline. Being on stage and singing your heart out in front of 900 people is a serious rush, and I've love to feel that again. Of course I'll need some serious practice before that happens, and it might not even be good, BUT I just want to do it again. Even if it's one more time on a stage, or something like it, in front of 5 people.
Hah! Just checked my email and it seems that a decision has been made on a date/time/place for my 10year high school reunion. Is it weird that I'm looking forward to this? Out of people that I am still in touch with from school, I think I'm...umm...the only one looking forward to it, haha. Just need to go back to phase 1 of the SB diet. I was doing so well! 14lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. All I want is 10 more.
Pretty retarded that I'm actually all "OMG gotta lose weight before the reunion!" but oh well. Never said I wasn't slightly insecure. More than that though, I've been feeling better since the diet. Aside from my unwillingness to get off my ass today, I have had more energy in general. And I've been sleeping better. And oh dear, my skin! Pretty much gone are the days where I was constantly battling cystic acne. I think out of everything, that was the most frustrating. I could handle having a belly and a slightly rounder face. But leaving the house with a completely broken out face? Fucking nightmare. It looked horrible and it HURT. I remember trying everything under the sun to make it go away. Proactive actually worked for a solid 2 years, and then one day, I woke up and it started all over again. So, a couple years later I'm actually taking my thyroid meds religiously, eating healthier and after an amazingly painful Jessner peel, my skin is awesome. I wanted to do another Jessner, but it's probably not a great idea with the summer and all. Don't want my face to burn off. Also, I can't recommend enough the skincare products I'm using. If you haven't tried GlyMed or Pevonia products, you should. Amazing stuff. It's nice to actually be able to stand behind stuff that I have to sell. Hah, I've gone from high school reunions to skincare. I'm in a rambling mood apparently.
After all that rambling about acne, I'm wondering if I'll wake up with a gigantic zit tomorrow. Probably.
Things I'm looking forward to:
Alkaline Trio (even though they're opening for The Offspring)
New Clutch album
A vacation
Spending some time with the family
Dancing around in my underwear. Which is going to happen, now.
