The progress so far:
Last night I went straight from yoga class to a class on how to give handjobs. On the bus on the way from one to the other, I read a chapter of 'Learned Optimism'
Have lost 8.4 pounds
Have smoked only 4 cigarettes in three weeks
Self-help books purchased: What You Can Change...and What You Can't: The Complete Guide to Self-Improvement *Learning to Accept Who You Are, Ten Days to Self-Esteem, Learned Optimism, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times, Don't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life
Spa treatments: Rosemary Citron Dead Sea Salt Scrub (leaves the skin re-hydrated and the body relaxed), Krauter bath, the perfect facial, sauna, Vichy shower, and general decadence
Have touched toes several times. Am stretching and doing yoga--plan to have ultimate flexibility shortly
Watched 'Love is a Battlefield' video several times with the intention of learning the moves
Got an excellent haircut with bangs. Very necessary change
Have written 6 pages
Going to the dentist today to get a cleaning, nitrous, and whiter teeth
Still trying to find someone to take the pole dancing class with me (you know who you are, jerks)
Having a relatively successful long distance love affair
I'm going back to Dublin in 9 days for a week and a half. I'll be staying with the Pole, so we will see if I end up in a camp or gas chamber after a week. 10 days is a test, I think. Then I'm going to New York for a week, where I will spend my birthday (start buying me presents). Hopefully I will know about my work permit by the time I get home. Fingers crossed.
Wing! There's a Korean friend chicken place near me. I'm afraid to try it, though, for fear of getting addicted.

You're having lots of fun with bullets, aren't you. Yay for self-improvement! I only found... -four- semi-negative Lina comments in this whole entry. You're doing fantastic! Really, extremely fantastic. ;o
My goals are probably to read a lot of books and not eat food and pass for the year. Wish me luck. Also, Mortimer Honeycutt is such an awesome name that it's probably made up. I hope it is, so I can use it somewhere and not get sued. Bye.
