Hello my ever so faithful readers (all three of you)! And hello to you people who just happened upon this page and don't really know why Google sent you here.
I have been rather MIA lately. Blame two HUGE tests and a the laptop's visit to his buddies at the Apple Store. But don't worry, you didn't miss much.
I am currently blogging from 30,000 feet in the air because planes are boring and I felt like wasting $10 (there goes tomorrow's lunch). I would tell you why I am so high in the sky, but there are mean people who might do bad things with that information. Damn mean people ruin everything.
Really not much to say other than that.
Oh, and my ears hurt.

April Foolsin'
I hate April Fool's Day because I am so gullible.
Every year, someone convinces me that they're pregnant, engaged, moving, etc. And I always fall for it! I get really excited, I write congratulations all over Facebook and Twitter, and make phone calls, and then they say "April Fools" and I'm left looking like a really enthusiastic idiot.
And I never come up with any good jokes. Telling people I'm engaged would be quite a stretch at this stage in my life. No one would believe me if I said I was moving if I still have two years left of undergrad. And if I told people I was pregnant, my parents would probably kill me before I had the chance to say "April Fools." All of my possibilities are either too cruel, too dangerous, or just too far-fetched to work. And if I were to come up with something to do, I would probably have a giggle-fit and give it away before the joke has even started.
So everyone plays the joke on me. I've already fallen for two this morning: GMail Motion and a fake pregnancy. And I'm sure I'll fall for several more.
UPDATE: I also fell for the "I'm moving thousands of miles away across the Atlantic Ocean" one. *sigh*
On the plus side, remember those adorable twins I showed you a couple of days ago? Ellen Degeneres has figured out what they were talking about. As it turns out, they weren't discussing missing socks or Global Warming.
Oh, and by the why, I'm engaged, pregnant, and moving to Bolivia!
...April Fools!
(It was worth try.)

LOVE ME!
I'm stealing a bit from Katie, who writes my favorite blog Marriage Confessions. Near the beginning of her blog, she noticed that her blog hits were spiking. She was so excited until her husband pointed out that all of her traffic sources were from google searches for a picture of Godzilla. Apparently people were searching "Godzilla Marriage" or "Godzilla Wife" or the like and they were all being routed to her page.
Well, the same thing seems to be happening to me. My hits aren't necessarily spiking (at least not as much as Katie's were), but I'm noticing that I am getting a lot of traffic from people Googling something (I have absolutely no idea what they could be searching to get this) and clicking on this picture:
I know! Weird!
When Katie noticed that Godzilla was giving her more traffic, she tried posting pictures of other popular things in her blog to bring in more traffic. And now I will shamelessly copy her!
Come all ye mindless masses! Read my blog! I don't have much to say, but I sure look cute when I say it!

More Babies
And this time, they match!
Check out this adorable video of twin boys having a conversation filled with questions, answers, hand/arm gestures, hesitant pauses and punch lines. I've narrowed their conversation topic down to two possibilities. They are are either a) Discussing where the baby closest to the corner's sock is and the other baby is chewing him out for losing his sock AGAIN or B) Discussing the effects of Global Warming on the earth. Either way, I have deemed them adorable enough to post this video on my blog.
These kids are going to be lawyers one day. Just wait.

The Collegiate Weight Battle
Before I moved on campus and started my first semester at LSU, my weight was the lowest it had ever been. I didn't realize it then, but that was so unfair. Here I was with what was probably the best body I'll ever have and I only got to enjoy it for about a month before I was forced onto the college diet. As soon as I feel pretty great about the way I look, it is snatched away from me by Papa John's, Taco Bell, Quiznos, McDonald's and the cafeterias.
I noticed weight gain almost immediately, which freaked me out. I was really heavy when I was younger and even though I lost about 30 pounds through Weight Watchers, I never lost that weight anxiety. And that anxiety is running in full force now that my only options are fast food and things fried/covered in fat/covered in butter at the cafeterias.
So, I started tracking. I found this really great free app on my iPhone called My Fitness Pal. It's a daily calorie/nutrition tracker that gives you a daily caloric intake goal based on how much you weigh, how much you want to weigh, and how fast you want to lose it. And it's got a huge database of foods. It's, in my opinion, the perfect wight loss aid.
Except I have the self control of someone with very little self control and keep forgetting to update it. So here's where this blog comes in. I discovered a new feature on the website today: the weight loss ticker. So from now on, this ticker will be at the bottom of all of my blog posts. Maybe if know my readers (I recently discovered the stats section of Blogger, there are actually a few of you out there!) can see how much I am (or am not) losing, that will keep me motivated to keep track. My fear of judgement will remind me that I cannot get of track!!
Once again, I'm not sure if any of what I just wrote makes sense, but it is what it is. I'm fat. I want to not be fat. I'm bringing my blog into the equation.
The journey begins:
And if anyone says "Why don't you try excercising?" I might have to cyber slap you. If I had time to do something other than study and sleep, don't you think I might have tried incorporating more exercise into my routine?!
We...maybe not. But still, don't you dare mention it!

Babies
Much to the dismay of my roommate, I am kind of baby obsessed. So every time I discover a cute baby video on YouTube, I freak out and show it to her about 10,000 times.
The most recent baby discovery:
How can you watch that and not smile and/or spend 10 minutes rolling around in your bed laughing?
Of course, it's hard to beat the diaper king of all baby videos:
Whether you want children or not, you have to admit that babies are pretty freaking cute.
