Goals II

Ok, I think I failed miserably at this one. The bad thing about hanging out is that you have to have money, and well, with one job right now I just cant do that all the time. The good news is that lately Ive been setting new goals for myself and Ive been successful at them.

• Working out. This one is a hard one for obvious reasons. Right now I weigh 105 lbs. I know, "Youre skinny" and "You dont need to" yadda yadda. I get that all the time. The older you get the worse your body gets. I am skinny everywhere except my belly and that bothers me so its time to tone it down. I have been waking up early every morning (even on days off) to do this and I feel accomplished everyday.
• Eating healthy. This one is harder than the whole workout thing because when you cant cook its hard to eat healthy. Well, I cant cook but that doesnt mean I wont try. Today I cooked tilapia for the first time. Success!
• Working hard for the money. Ill be starting my Senior CPhT training here in a few weeks so that I can get promoted at Walgreens. Not only that, Ive signed up for a class in Houston to get my IV Certification for hospital pharmacy which will begin in May. Hopefully afterwards I can find a part time job at a hospital.

My biggest goal will be the hardest of all. Traveling. I have wanted to take a vacation since forever but I havent been able to. There will hopefully be a Las Vegas trip sometime soon and Robert wants to go to Jersey this summer. I was reading Celeste's blog and noticed that she had a ABC Destination List. Brilliant idea, so I "stole" it. Lets see how far I can get.

Sisterly love

I didnt realize until just a few days ago how much my oldest sister, Ann, has done for me. I got to thinking about it and she has been with me through the most memorable moments of my life. Let me name a few.

1. My very first concert. It was Ashlee Simpson (LOL). 

2. Introduction to Cirque du Soleil. I loved it so much that I always go when they come to Dallas and I want to go to Vegas just to see them there.

3. Britney Spears concert. I have been a Britney Spears fan since she came out in 1999 but I never had the chance to go to one of her concerts. Ten years later, Im at the Circus tour with none other than Ann.

4. First show at the Improv - Angelina Johnson aka Bon Qui Qui from MadTV. If you havent seen it, YouTube it because its well worth your time. I got my first picture with someone famous that day.

5. The Guadalupe River. Although I dont feel the need to go anymore and want to find a new summer tradition, I did float the river for a few years after she took me there for the first time.

Recently, I had found out that Chelsea Handler was coming to Dallas so I went online to get tickets to her show. To my disappointment, they were already sold out. Last Saturday was her showing and instead of having a good time there I had to work (with a headache). When I got home the headache had gotten so bad that I couldnt do anything but lay in bed with the blanket over my face to block out the sun and I was pretty sure it was turning into a migraine. (The neighbor's lawn mower was SO not helping!) Ann came home a few minutes later with a present for me that seriously made my headache go away in an instant.

No, it was not tickets to the Chelsea Handler show. Dont be stupid. See below:

Yup, its my very own Chelsea Handler book. But that was not the cherry on top:

"Sara! Cheers! Chelsea" ..and she specifically made her sign it in my favorite color - purple. My first autographed anything.

Everyone needs one..

It just occured to me, while looking through someone's Facebook pictures, that I dont have a real best friend (that doesnt include a boyfriend). I mean, I have a lot of friends that Ive known for almost 10 years but none that I can go on a vacation with or cry to. I feel really lonely.

Sigh.
