My eating has been out of control lately, so I have made a spreadsheet. I named the spreadsheet "Accountability." So far this spreadsheet has not inhibited my eating. Today I had to write "entire row of rice krispie treats" followed by "monster cookie."
Today is the first day of 2010 I have worn shorts to school. It is a warm 57 degrees here. Put your sunglasses on because my legs might blind you.

A couple of weeks ago we celebrated Nelson's birthday. Nelson is in law school and from Pembroke, NC which is in eastern North Carolina, near my little hometown of Clinton. Nelson is a "fun" law school friend. Grades don't matter to him, he just wants to squeeze by, and he has never been stress out.

My high school friend Katie got married this weekend. Katie and her husband live in Minneapolis and that is where the wedding was. I was getting nervous about spending so much time in the car (5 hrs each way) because finals are coming up and every hour is precious. I convinced my parents to spend the weekend in Minneapolis eating and shopping- that way I could study in the back of the car. It worked like a charm and I was able to be productive.
Katie has always been a special and very funny friend. The Matron of Honor gave such an appropriate toast. Terra said, one of Katie's best qualities was her decisiveness. Terra went on to say, for example, Katie bought only two wedding dresses. For the engagement photos Katie knew she wanted to wear a black jacket- so she bought six black jackets. Katie was buying new shoes and jewelry even the day before the wedding. Things have not changed much, I remember Katie buying multiple prom dresses.
When I arrived at the church, I immediately ran into Dean-o, Katie's dad. I asked how he was holding up and he said, he wasn't the one to worry about- that Katie had been crying since Thursday. Katie was apparently so nervous at the church that when she tried to put on lip liner she accidentally put black eyeliner on her lips instead.
The reception was a lot of fun. The DJ was great and there was lots of dancing. I remember weddings by the cake. I saw a cake, Katie cut the cake (so I heard), but we were served cupcakes. The cupcakes were tasty, but what happened to the cake?
Cathy and Johanna came over for Easter lunch. Three bottles of bubbly later, we were ready to start studying again.
