Finally decided just to buy one, and it’s not exactly what i wanted (uses DDR2 instead of DDR3 for RAM for one), but on the other hand it’s better than what i need to run WoW and has 750 gigs memory (and a backup hard drive! i didn’t know that when i bought it), 8 GB RAM (i was aiming for 4), and i splurged and got the 23” monitor instead of the 20”. Came in just over $1000 after taxes (along with the new surge strip and ethernet cord). Can hardly wait to spend many a night gaming on it. (:

How I did it: Checked lots of labels! You would not believe how many foods (even those being marketed as "healthy") have HFCS! Now i automatically check the label and am starting to remember which foods are off limit. Read how I did it…
How I did it: i started out slow, not able to run the entire intervals in week 1, so i repeated week 1. The first five weeks of the program i ran faithfully, and improved a lot, then repeated part of week 5 because i had trouble running that long. In week 6 i bought new shoes, and they gave me blisters, then i got sick, and had finals, so the program fell by the wayside. For 10 weeks i had winter break, worked full time, and got sick … Read how I did it…
i went down to the post office this afternoon, filled out the form, had my photo taken, and paid $115. It was very easy and rather anti-climatic. i should get my passport (and birth certificate back) in about a month they said.
This goal was just sitting in the bottom of my list of goals because i didn’t have any new goals forcing it out. Surprisingly enough, now i actually have a reason to get a passport! My grandma is going to take me and two of my sisters on a Mediterranean cruise this fall, so i’ll probably be applying for my passport sometime next week. i actually was starting to think that i would never have a reason to get a passport, and now i’m going to visit six cities in twelve days.
