Deadlines

I want to go back to what I was- sorta.
Fresh-faced, full of dreams and illusions.
Some of them came true... some of them turned into nightmares.

It's well known that I work better under pressure...
so I believe that if I set deadlines for myself, I will be able to actually achieve something.

LIST OF DEADLINES- AND REASONS FOR THEM:

1. I cannot date anyone again until I get my car.
I know that it should have been obvious since the beginning, but I've managed to find ways. Either way, no more. Unless I meet some guy that just blows me away. In which case, who am I to interfere with fate- car or not? But yeah, no more dating. Next time I get asked out (it's happening alarmingly often this year) I will politely decline, and explain that I'm going through a no-dating period.

2. Win the bet by July 4th.
Which bet, you may ask... My friend Mana and I decided to make a bet- a sort of win-win bet to help us achieve our weight loss goals. I want to get back to my freshman year of college jean size (for pure self-esteem and confidence issues) and she would like to go down a couple of sizes as well. If I lose, i cannot go dancing (clubbing/salsa/parties/vegas/raves/dance concerts/NOTHING) for 3 months. THREE WHOLE MONTHS OF NO DANCING!!!! The notion is so ridiculous- so inconceivable, that I will do my best to win that damn bet. (By the way, this weekend... and the way I ate-- SO NOT THE WAY TO WIN THIS BET, but c'est la vie) I will begin again tomorrow- with some healthy breakfast/lunch food courtesy of CMK sunday cook-a-thons. And some interspersed gymming here and there. (especially gearing up to VEGAS this coming weekend for Conijandra's 21st bday!)

I believe those are the only two deadlines I have at the moment (at least things that are within my control. If I think of something else- I will come back and do a repeat post.

Is someone sees me with food in my hand/desk/in front of me, please slap it out of my reach.
Thank you.
Also- where's a good case of food poisoning when you need it?!
JK...
