#7.) I got the first outline done on my half sleeve yesterday and go back for a second session next wednesday. I think I do a third after that to get it all colored. I will wait until it is done for a picture.

#21.) Finally got my savings account to over $5K. I have been putting 10% of every paycheck into the account and not touching it. Every now and then if I have extra money laying around I will throw that in there too. Not really sure what I wanted to do with this money butt I suppose it is just good to have.

#67.) JBone got a scale for our bathroom a way back. Although I did not buy this scale, I still have one in my bathroom which is really all I wanted. I just wanted to keep a general idea of how fat I was.

#61.) I finally had a day to just go through everything and get rid of junk junk. I did not realize how much of a hoarder I was. I had every phone bill statement I have ever had along with a ton of little knick knacks that are completely useless. I got rid of a good amount of clothes that I will donate to good will. I still have a few shirts that I was iffy on. I do not wear them butt cannot bring myself to get rid of them. Maybe on my next list on my second run of clearing out my room.

#57.) I did not exactly join a gym butt I did start an exercise program which equals out to the same thing in my head. I have just completed my 60th day of P90X

#58.) By completing my 60th day in P90X, that is sticking with an exercise routine for 2 months which scratches off number 58.

I have my day 60 photo butt I already had this image cropped up and didn't feel like adding another picture. Plus day 60 does not differ much from day 45 except for the fact that my hair is
a little longer.


Here is me after my day 90. I was really excited to finish the 90 days so I took this photo right after a workout which is why I am all red. I really am not cut out like the commercial photos because I did not follow the diet plan. I just love food way too much. And by food I mean bad fatty food.

#62.) When I made this list, my mom was still living in NY so my idea was to send her something nice in the mail. Now that she lives in NC with me, I did not have to send it very far. I saw a small pin that says "bikers for boobs" which may seem inappropriate as a gift for mom butt it happens to be quite the opposite. She rides motorcycles and is all about showing support for people who have breast cancer or know somebody else who does. It is a jazzy little pin for her to put onto her biker vest.

#47.) For Kenneth Kohler's wedding, him and his now wife were generous enough to have us buy an outfit that we could wear always rather than renting a tux. This last outfit assisted my goal at number 47 which was to improve my wardrobe to become more professional. What I really meant by this was that I would have 5 combinations of ties, nice dress shirts, and slacks to complete a business week and not repeat outfits.

#59.) On the way up to Kenny's wedding, I finally hit a toll booth. I was nervous about this one because I rarely cross through toll booths anymore. I slowed down to make sure that I could see somebody filling in the spot behind me. I was considering paying for the car behind me without them being in sight so they wouldn't know it was me. Had I done that, I could have completed another goal in doing something nice for somebody without them knowing. However, I do not know how trust worthy a toll booth employee would be so I wouldn't even find out if I did something nice or created some theft.
So the dude that pulls up next to me just so happens to be a very scary looking black dude. I am not implying that all black people are scary or that he was scary because he was black. I am simply saying that this guys was a black man and had a very scary face. Butt since I did not want to blow my chance, I paid $2.50 for myself and requested to pay for the car behind me. I slowed down a bit leaving the booth to make sure the lady didn't pocket the money.
Now there were 2 scenarios I would have liked from this:
  1. I pay for the person behind me and they 'pay it forward' and pay for the car behind them and so on.
  2. I pay for the car behind me and they feel good about the day and drive past me with a smile and wave.

Neither of these two happened as the dude lurked behind me for a while and then sped past me. So I am still counting this as done with results that I was not expecting.

#52.) Laura Hoyle just moved in with a friend who had an extra bed. He wanted it gone and I have been sleeping on an air mattress for about 5 months. $75 got me an almost brand new queen size mattress. This is an upgrade from my air mattress and from my previous queen size that I removed from a dumpster a few years back. The springs were terrible and my body ached every morning from that bed. This new one is firm and beautiful.

#93.) On the way to Kenny's wedding, I stopped by Washington D.C. to visit a friend with Laura. It was an okay city with ridiculous roads that create more traffic than there needs to be. I did not get to see the monuments up close butt I got the general idea. Hit up some bar that night as well and I was not impressed. It was a sports bar that had people clubbing and dancing all over the place. I was very confused by that. First thing I saw was some dude standing on a bench dancing to Ke$ha which made me sad. No rush to head back to D.C.

#31.) I was browsing through the ole Lollapalooza lineup for this year and came across a group by the name of MyNameIsJohnMichael. Apparently the dude who got this group together has the first and middle names of John Michael so that name is not too creative. However, the name caught my eye because my uncle's name is John Michael Hamilton. So I decided to check em on out and thought they were pretty descent. They sound a little like bright eyes with more life to the music.

My three musical artists/groups that I checked out and liked on my own:

  • Regina Spektor
  • Band of Horses
  • MyNameIsJohnMichael

#35.) I was up in PA last weekend to pick Kohler up for his bachelor party and then chilled that Sunday for a Jack & Jill bridal shower thingy also in PA. In doing this, I have visited a friend in another state besides NY or NC.

#87.) So for mother's day this year I really wanted to get my mom a nice professional studio photo of my sisters and I. What I had in mind was for us to get semi-dressed up and smile nice. Mother wanted nothing of the sort and said she wanted us to look how she remembers us which is not all posed and formal.....which is awesome and why I love my mommy. So we tried taking some crazy photos butt this photographer was a little square. (I would just like to note that I have never referred to somebody as "square" butt it sounds kinda funny so I might start using that-or L7 weeny) He told us that he was the one doing these shots because he can be creative and very informal and that he is crazy. Right away he had us posed in a typical KMart family photo session. We made some fun out of it and have some pretty descent pictures though.

Here is a sample from some of the ridiculousness:
