I know, that sounds totally exciting. Who doesn't want to go to Missouri for vacation? But I felt like posting a long entry about how excited I am because I want to share my happiness with everybody xp
But I'm totally hyped, because I get to see my boyfriend whom I haven't seen for six months (we're in a long-distance relationship, we met on Gaia for those who haven't figured all that out yet xp )! And my favorite part that for the first time in the three years we've been dating I get to see him on my birthday, instead of me seeing him on his...which I've always pouted about.
And so now I have 12 days 'til I'm headed out to visit him, and I'm so excited... Because I don't have money (my next paycheck goes to paying my mom for my plane tickets and paying off a student loan I've owed for... a month now (Bad! I know! ) plus food for the seven days I'll still be at home and shampoo and stuff I'm needing for the trip) I've had to cut out the staple of my diet--fast food (I love you, Chick-fil-a ). I've been packing my lunch for work, and trying to eat before I head out to work. I tend to stay upstairs when my mom is home, so as to avoid conflict, so over the weekend I was being bad and not eating 'til 4pm, and on Saturday I actually only had one meal the entire day even though I packed a sandwich for dinner gonk I ended up eating that sandwich for lunch 24 hours after the last meal I had had. But now I'm forcing myself to wake up and eat breakfast to kick start my metabolism and because not eating all day is bad for you, and I know that well.
And I've some how lost a bunch of weight in about a week... about 5 lbs, although my weight does fluctuate... I'm a few pounds under my usual weight. So since I was already losing weight, and one night I looked in a mirror and saw my big ol' stomach and thought "ugh, gross" Although actually, yeah it was a little bigger than I'm used to or like to see... but my biggest problem was it was rounder than usual, and I normally think my stomach has a cute shape and I wanted to get that back. I've started running/walking again and trying to substitute water for soda... which hasn't worked super well, but I'm workin' on it. And I'm hoping that I'll lose about 7 lbs and be around the weight I was 3 years ago when I was 18 gonk
Of course, to be able to afford the trip I'm having to re-arrange my whole schedule. I bugged my manager into giving me an extra shift today, and extending one in the next couple days. I told her to give me as close to 40 (if not over 40) in the next week. And then I'm also planning and have bugged her (and will likely bug her again) to schedule me a double (15 hour shifts, about) on Friday and Saturday the weekend I leave (I leave June 17, which is a Sunday, morning...and I'll have most likely closed the night before which means I get home at 1:20, go to bed, wake up at 5 and get ready for my flight at 6:45) So basically, I'm trying to kill myself within the next 12 days with packing, excersizing, working, going out of my way to plan meals and have time for them, as well as all the other beauty stuff I'm trying to accomplish like clearing up any acne and making sure my skin looks pretty and my nails look good.
So discuss:
whee Missouri--primarily St. Louis (if anybody knows of anything cool around there that I can demand to be taken to (other than City Museum!) I would appreciate it... and yes, I know about the arch xp )
whee Boyfriends and girlfriends
whee What primping you do before seeing them?
whee Do you notice you make more effort to be attractive when with somebody or when single?
whee Do you think guys notice all the crap girls do to make themselves attractive to guys?
...On the subject of the last one, I've noticed that (in my LDR group on another site) when asked... guys said to prepare to see their loved one they showered and made sure their room/home was clean... girl talked about dieting, waxing, haircuts, primping, fighting acne, cleaning house, buying new clothes, etc... I thought it was kinda sad...because honestly, I know my boyfriend isn't going to notice everything I do like "Oh wow, Sadie's teeth look whiter and her tummy looks so much nicer", he'll love me despite acne or if I'm a few pounds heavier than I like... but I just want to go up there and him not know what it is, but know he thinks I'm sexy and that he's lucky to have me.
Also, any well wishes and prayers for a safe flight appreciated heart

On the subject of boyfriends:
My boyfriend and I will be long distance for the next two and a half months.
We've been datiing for often and on for over a year, (two years this August, <3), This is the longest we've been together now.
From the beginning of the school year up until the summer break.
We're closer than we've ever been.
The person he's closest to though is his dad.
He goes to visit his Father every chance he gets.
His father lives 560 miles away...
XO
We try and talk to each other one the phone everynight.
But the distance is something neither one of use is use to, not for this amount of time anyways.
The longest we've been away from each other while together is one week.
D:
Also: On the primping thing...
Guys notice that you look different or prettier/sexier/cuter...
But I don't think they realise the effort that was put into it... Or even that the effort is for them.

It's always really nice when you get to see them again, though 3nodding Hopefully everything works out with y'all.
Yeah, my boyfriend doesn't have a clue how I start primping weeks in advance just to look my absolute best for him.

I know, I've already started working on things like my face and losing weight... Looking for a cute outfit, etc.
And when I see him, he'll have no clue about all the work put into it!
I swear, I think men seriously believe we roll out of bed looking the way we do after how ever long of getting pretty.

Jesus_vs_Godzilla Also: On the primping thing...

But I don't think they realise the effort that was put into it... Or even that the effort is for them. yeah. in all reality some of us are incredibly slow on the uptake there. unless its drastic. either way we really do appreciate anything different done for us (and viceaversa...hopefully haha.) knock 'em dead ghosty. i hope your trip is a memorable one. 3nodding

Whatever, just make sure you leave me alone. >.< There's enough freaking tourists in this state as is.

Well, I had no clue you live in Missouri, but I also wonder how many tourists really go to Missouri... like, seriously? There's almost nothing there. You can experience it in two days, max.
But don't worry, I have more important people to hang around.
