weekend wrapup

i survived another trip to virginia to see abe's family. when i say survive, i think it's a pretty accurate description. the good thing is that everyone is very focused on the kids, the bad part is that the kids really dominate everything. they think that i'm really shy, but that's not really a word that i'd use to describe myself at all. i'm not even really that quiet, in general. i don't think that they're really going to see the true me for years and years. i find it impossible to be me in the given conditions. oh well. i don't really feel like i could have done or said anything differently over the weekend to change their minds, and i might actually just remain the quiet one forever. i'm totally exhausted now. it was quite draining.

the bad news is that i've gained 1 pound since last week, i suppose it could be a lot worse. so i'm just going to press the reset button and start to lose these 5 pounds today. sigh.

the best unexpected news is that abe found his way to a proactive machine today to buy me some products. the bad part of that is that yes, i have acne, just like jessica simpson. How i met your mother is on tonight, and so is the hills - although, i might not watch it, i feel like it makes me a bad person....like i actually just get too angry when i watch so it might be better for me to stay away.
