Perfume 1 day ago

I would like to start wearing perfume. I like the idea of not just looking nice but smelling nice. Not something overpowering but something that people will notice and like. Choosing one is going to be difficult because what you smell in the magazines does not smell like what is in the bottle. I am not really sure of what I want. I know I don’t want a lot of floral and gardinia makes me ill. I plan on going to the store next weekend and having the salesperson help me. Even better my friend says she will buy the perfume for me as a christmas present!

Fast food and the weekend 1 day ago

I was so tired coming home friday night. I was hungry, and there really was nothing in the fridge that could be made into a quick meal, other than left over stew and I draw the line at eating the same meal 4 times. So we went through a drive through. It was ok, I only ate enough to satisfy my hunger which was maybe half of the burger and the fries. It was ok but this is something that is going to happen less and less because I felt it the next day. So I have slipped this month but the way I see this, it is a learning experiance

Some but not a lot 1 day ago

I have had some Diet Coke but not a lot. I went out to lunch/movie with friends and had one with lunch but not at the movie. The only time during the week that I have had any was on a really bad day. I have a 12 oz can but I still wanted more so I got a 20 oz bottle. That was too much. It is nice to see that I am lowering the amount. I am also noticing that it taste a lot like regular coke. Yuck! Because of the amount I drank before I think I became used to the taste.
A lot of it is just habit.I have to say no to the habit other wise I will never be able to do this. Other than that one bad day I have pretty muched replaced it with water when I am at work. I have began drinking more water at home as well. Anything other than soda. I don’t keep it at home so I would have to go out and get it if I really wanted it.
