Sand in my ass and sun in my hair.....

So, i'm officially on vacation to Cuba as of tomorrow. Things have been hectic around here as I try to scramble to get everything done in time before I go. J and I decided it would be best to get in a vacation before I start school in January. Between working full time and going to school part time, I doubt there will be a lot of serious vacationing going on.

I'm usually more of an "adventure travel" person but J wanted to go on a more relaxing vacation this time so I gave in and we decided on Cuba. My grandmother is already shitting her pants thinking i'm going to join the communist regime and gave me a solid half hour lecture about how she can't understand how I would want to go someplace "like that". I told her she needs to start reading more newspapers and get in touch with the new millenium. I'm a total grandma's boy so I try not to rile her up too much.

I got a letter in the mail saying that my orientation for school was going to be on December 17th (after I had booked my non-refundable vacation package) so I'm already off to a bad start. Trying to get a hold of the correct department and speak to someone about my absence was a total pain in the ass. I think customer service doesn't seem to apply when you are dealing with school administrators. My application for the degree program was sent on December 1st and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to attend the RN program in the fall. I have completed all of my pre-requisites, I just hope that my GPA is going to be good enough. I really don't want to have to take any more upgrading courses.

Work has been a total nightmare. The mall has been quite busy with Christmas shoppers and the tenants are driving me mental. Being a property manager for a retail center during Christmas is not a lot of fun. I'm sure i'll be gray by New Years Eve. My vacation couldn't of come soon enough.

Anyway, i'm off to eat more vegetables. I still have one day to lose 40 pounds. :-) Looks like i'll be passing on the speedo's this vacation.

Merry Fatmas!!

Trying to lose weight during Christmas sucks.

Lets face it, i've always been tubby. I unfortunately was blessed with my dad's body and genetics. I know very few males who are diagnosed with hypothyroidism but in my family tree it is passed down the line from father to son. I think I will stick with only having cats and break the chain.

It's not that I can't lose weight, it just means that I have to be extremely regimented in my diet and excercise. Too bad I have the willpower of wet mop. To make matters worse, I'm dating the candyman.

Oh well, tis' the season to over indulge. Perhaps I can start wearing scrubs early. Do you think they have any that go with a suitjacket and tie???
