Today's Stats: 95 House Points 2 NEWTs 1 OWL (OUCH.)

I had an ex who used to call me "fatty" like he thought it was a funny pet name - both WHILE and AFTER we were going out.

YESSSSS OPUS DEI!!! I have a ton of family members (including my mom) who are members of Opus Dei and I LOVE it!! I actually didn't get to log my calories this weekend because I was helping out on an Opus Dei high school girls' retreat AND the school I'll be teaching at in Spain is a school of The Work. =)

Sweet! This morning I weighed in at 147. And I guess according to Molly's post, today I earned: 2 OWLs 2 NEWTs and... 100 House Points. >.< (I missed my workout yesterday, so I did yesterday's AND today's this morning. Never again.)

Alright, that's it. I tried to stay away from this group, buuuut it was calling to me. Let me know how to get started on properly representing the Hufflepuffs!!! =)

I just started week 2 of BBL and LOVE it. It's definitely tough - sometimes I find myself dripping sweat. haha, I'm a big fan. =)

YES YES YES YES YES!!!! =D

You know, eventually someone's gonna get the wrong idea and think you actually hate me...

...I can't believe this...

LOVE THEM!!! I don't like Edd Plant, though. Charlie and Alex are my favorites.

LOVE Rory!!!

My ringtone is actually the TARDIS noise. Nobody outside my family gets it, though - they think it's just a weird sound effect...

Rude. Though I WILL say that I enjoy Matt Smith, Amy definitely isn't my favorite. River might be a close second to Rose, though.

David Tennant and Rose Tyler. Always.

Chicago suburbs - Northern Illinois. BUT I'll be going to Spain in about a month to teach English for a semester!! =)

My family lives in Grayslake - the northern suburbs. (I grew up in Waukegan, which is why I have that on my profile.)

I was going to do it, and did for the first 2-3 days, but then - life got in the way. =(

That is so awesome!!! I've thought about doing the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) this summer after I finish teaching, but that pilgrimage sounds like a great option, too!! Maybe I'll find time to squeeze in both while I'm there... Finding out stuff like this makes me SO much more excited to finally go to Spain!!! =)

I was an RCIA sponsor about two years ago, and it was a GREAT experience. Hopefully your leaders are just as great!! (Oh, and I absolutely LOVE Catholic Radio. =) )

haha, Glad you like it!! Hopefully it'll continue to grow. =)

LOVE this. Also, PLEASE tell me your profile picture is you dressed as a Ravenclaw. I was a Hufflepuff for Halloween. =)

You're so welcome!! I was searching through groups looking for a Catholic group and wondered why there wasn't one already... So I figured maybe I should do something about it. =) I'm also a cradle Catholic - went to Catholic schools for 13 years and wouldn't trade my faith for anything in the world. I'm also going to Spain…

Contrarian has a point, for sure. But I think maybe what your therapist was hoping for was a temporary increase in medication - generally antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications are prescribed on a "temporary" basis - sometimes "temporary" is a couple of years, sometimes it's a couple of months. If he's suggesting…

I actually found my mom's old VHS tape of the second one a month or so ago - and transferred it to DVD!! I haven't done it yet, but I'm saving it for a rainy day when I don't want to go to the gym. =)

I am SO in!! Let's make this happen!! =)

I definitely feel your pain - just yesterday I had a pretty bad doctor's appointment, so I came back and ate some Doritos, a bowl of ice cream, and a cookie. Aaaaand then I had fast food for dinner. Needless to say, I definitely know how the "emotional eating" thing goes!! But we can overcome it, for sure!!
