doublin-up on this stuff

 So i’ve started writing in another blog, more of a public, "Here’s me trying to figure out how to be a dude who’s getting married" type thing, so just weird tips and tricks, projects, chronicling the day-to-day of planning a wedding, from the guy’s perspective.  you can check it out here if you want.

Despite football starting two weekends ago, neither of them felt like much of a ‘vacation’…  the first one was a long road trip followed by a wedding the next day, so no real ‘breathing’ time, and this past weekend we lost to iowa state in one of the worst football games i’ve ever seen, final score 9-6.  Ug-ly.  And I was super hungover the next day.  Hoping this weekend goes a little better.

Anxiety’s been kicking up a lot lately, especially over money.  I was terrible with it last month, and so after paying off my credit card this month, i had next to nothing left to get through the last 3 weeks with.  My mom stepped in and helped me out though, and i think i’m back on track ,just gotta watch the spending pretty hardcore.

Birthday’s in a few weeks, torn between letting people buy me things and feeling bad about them spending money on me… most notably, my mom (even after helping me out with cash) wants to buy my the new iphone, as my current galaxy s2 screen got busted about a month ago.  Not sure whether I’m cool with that yet.

Weight loss, despite the road trips and tailgating, is going well.  Down 9.5 pounds so far, and just about 2 pounds away from being out of the "obese" category on the BMI chart, even though the BMI chart is bullshit.  If i were going by the chart, it would consider 144 pounds to be the lower bounds of a ‘healthy’ weight for my height.  Me, at a 144 pounds, that’d be like a 6-2 ghostly white starvin marvin.  noway.  I’m aiming for about 200, which is just above the upper bounds of the ‘healthy’ range.

save the dates will be ordered sometime this week.  that’s gonna be a big stress of the back, it’s been a major, major, major pain in the ass thus far.

that’s about all I got, i think…

i’ll talk to you guys later.
