covert operations

it's good that charles doesnt read my blog because i would like to expand on my last post by saying that after spending however many thousand dollards to get to ROME, i got a call from my brother saying that i was supposed to fly to VENICE. oops. $400 more dollars and an empty savings account later, i fly to venice. then, to top it off, mom and i spent too much money last weekend buying me some new luggage. elizabeth, brace yourself, it's bright PINK!!!!! yes, i have gone to the dark side and i love it!
in other news, i was super duper sick most of last week and am still battling the flem monster but otherwise good. in my illness, i quit taking the fat burner pills and am now back on track and going full-force into the de-chunkifying of michelle. feels good so far. i wish i could will myself to wake up earlier and work out before AND after work, but i have yet to crawl out of bed at 5 as intended. there's really not that much difference between 5 and 6 in the long run, but i can't do it. but at least i get out in the evenings. :o) moo.
