Muffin made me proud!

Hmmm... that might be TMI but Muffin is my nickname for J :-P Anyway, he did his physical today and while he missed passing (by 2.5 measly points!! grrrrrr) he's improved dramatically over the last time. Everyone thinks so and I'm just oozing with pride at the moment. He dropped about 5 minutes off his 1 1/2 mile run time, as well as, 6 inches off his waist and 25 pounds in weight: in three months. Now if that isn't something then I don't know what is! He gets to retake the push-ups and sit-ups part on Friday and if he can do 16-19 more push-ups and 8 more sit-ups then he'll pass... to score Poor. But at least it's a past. Funny thing is that with what he did today it would've been a pass (still Poor but a pass nonetheless) for the 25-30 age group bracket. Unfortunately he's 24, so we'll see what we can do :-)

Why do I need food when I stay up?

Yeah I'm still awake, talking to J while he's at work and watching the History channel. They just finished an Alexander the Great special and now it's something on the History of Sex. It's not that I don't want to sleep but I also just feel like staying up. I mean why not? J has to stay up till 6:45am so I may as well keep him company. Right now we're talking about how to get my engine up to 280 wheep horsepower, which is an impressive feat on our Ebay budget. :-)

But about this food thing. About half an hour ago I just got a craving for Ramen chicken noodles of all things. I decided to go and take a shower to see if it would wear out but nope, I still feel hungry. Well, J is telling me to go to sleep so I guess I'll try and resist... hmm, maybe I could just have potato chips?

6+ hours of driving fun

It always amazes me how we can spend more hours driving than we were actually at the place and call it an adventure and be completely psyched about the whole experience! Like right now my legs are all sorts of cramped and I'm almost brain dead from exhausted but we brought back so much stuff from Project Nissan, plus we ate at the Jamaican restaurant that I've been dying to go to (Caribbean Grill). I also stopped by at the Caribbean Market (a shop next to the restaurant) and stocked up on guava jelly, crackers, ginger mint tea and pickapper sauce. I was kind of tentative about this trip because the last time when we went with Nate and Jamie, J and I had a huge ass fight and it was a terribly trip in my eyes. This morning looked like it was going to go downhill because we were both crabby coming out the house but things picked up and I'm sooooo happy it turned out good. I was even afraid to say something like, "Oh hey this is going really great compared to last time huh?" for fear of jinxing the whole thing. I was also worried that we might get caught in traffic cause J has to be at work in 45minutes but we were on schedule and he's here changing into his work clothes.

On the car front we picked up stuff for everyone in the group. Josh got spacers for his wheels, Krista got a hard core Project Mu shift knob, we picked up a Fairlady Z badge for Pam, a polyurethane shift knob for Chris and the turbo inlet gasket that Nate needed to replace in his car. J got a drift knob for his emergency brake, as well as, thermostat and I got 2 JDM option DVDs which are in English! It'll be a real treat to finally understand what everyone's saying in these things. You wouldn't believe how many option tapes, DVDs and magazines pass through this house and every last one of them is in straight Japanese! LOL

Pam and Chris are going to see the Grudge tonight but I'm saying a big no to that. 'Saw' was all the horror movie I needed to last me till the end of this year and WELL into the next! I'll just go see what they're doing outside and hunt down some food at the same time. :-)

• Mood:but happy cause we had fun!

Dallas

No, not the old soap opera :-) Although my Aunt Pat in the UK is quite into it, I sent her the first and second season on DVD because the price of it over there was just scandalous. J and I are heading over there with Josh and Krista to check out something for our cars. I'm hoping to be able to go to one of the Jamaican restaurants there (Caribbean Grill) for lunch. Plus, we were told that ther'es a Jamaican grocery attached to it and that will just make my day! Anyway, gotta go and drink my tea now cause we're meeting at 8 o'clock!

• Mood:off to Dallas!

This was a blog I made using Hello to get Jas' pic on the server for his blog's profile. Needed to drop it somewhere in the archives to take it off my front page.
