I’m so incredibly sorry that I’ve been neglecting my duties on TMOOS. I’ve also been neglecting my schoolwork recently, as I’ve been sick with something like the flu (which is why we don’t have any videos recently), and then I just got lazy. Happens to the best of us, right?

I don’t really have much to say about my personal life, because nothing has been going on recently, except for money troubles that everyone can identify with. But my boyfriend and I are going to do something together for Valentines Day, hopefully, tomorrow. I’m not quite sure what he has planned, so I hope it’s good lol.

Katie and I went to the YMCA to work out a couple days ago, and my lower back has been so sore. I need to go back to the gym more than just once a week, but recently we’ve had a LOT of snow! Like, a lot a lot! I believe there are still people snowed in. Here’s a snapshot of the weather for the past week. Twas pretty awesome, but not much fun digging the cars out. Well, actually, it was kinda fun.. I have a couple videos up on my youtube from it – http://www.youtube.com/candyzombi. There will be one of Katie there soon lol. The first picture is a gigantic snow drift that was outside of our front door the second night that it snowed. And the second picture is a view from outside the back porch door.

Umm.. OH! I found a game (well, not really. my boyfriend’s friend found a game because of one of HIS friends..) called Dekaron Rusaki that I’ve been playing with that group of friends recently. It’s really quite addictive, but that might just be because I used to play prettymuch the same game a couple years ago and was instantly hooked. It’s a free online mmorpg with six (hopefully seven soon) different characters that you can choose from. They all have different strengths and weaknesses, and you have to stat up to what their skills/weapons are. It’s kindof infuriating for the first couple reborns (you get to lvl 180 and then restart and you’re back at lvl 1, but you get 250 more stat points every time you do that, so you’re stronger each time) but it’s still fun if you have people to play with.

American Idol is at the Hollywood Week stage, and I still haven’t gone back and picked my favorites from the auditions yet. Fringe had the winter finale, and won’t be on again until Chad’s birthday, April 1st. House.. well, I’m not quite sure what’s going on with House, but I still love it lol. There’s a new show on called Past Life or something like that and it seems really interesting, but I’m not sure if I’m going to be too into it yet.

And finally, in light of the two and a half feet of snow that’s outside right now, my stumble of the day is a bunch of cute cuddley animals in the snow!

until next time
Leah

birthday weekend should be pretty good. :]

so yea.
:]

gah!
but anyway, i have been working on drawing up designs for a new tattoo that i am planning to get in the next month or two. i am also going to be getting my nipples pierced lol.

i am not going to do a stumble of the day today because i feel like getting back to my drawings.

much love and stay safe in the snow!
katie.

as i have mentioned before, i am going to school full time, work part time, play d&d, and work out. i am typically gone from about 6 or 6:30 everyday until anywhere between 9 and 11 pm. i have really long days that take a lot out of me. but it is good for me because i am not sitting around doing nothing, like i am doing now lol, but anyway.

the past week for me has been awesome, school was great, work is awesome and D&D is just amazing. but that is because it is D&D and i play with sexy boys, except for one who is an ex and i can’t stand. but the rest of the guys are sexy boys.

my character is a cleric. and i am a sexy cleric, i wear a leather bikini and leather thigh high boots, that’s all i had access too lol. but yea my character is amazing :]
we have had snow twice in the past week, about three inches tuesday night into wednesday and friday into saturday we got about two feet! and we are supposed to get more this coming tuesday and wednesday. GEEZE!
i don’t mind snow as long as it is on the weekend because if the district i work in has a delay, snowday or early dismal, i don’t get to work and get paid! how fail! how many people get pissed that they can’t go to work? lol. i love my job so it is a disappointment when i can’t make it to work.

i stayed this weekend at patrick’s house, who is like my best male friend, we had to shovel saturday morning then we played marvel ultimate alliance then we went to ed’s and played D&D with him, zach (icky ex) and ed’s dad. it was awesome. :] then me and patrick went back to his house and read the new avengers comics all night. i also read deadpool. ed let me borrow watchmen, the graphic novel, not the dvd lol and i have to get that read by wednesday night D&D so i can borrow others :] i love comics.

working out has been going great, last week was a bit hard to get time in, but i did a good hour and a half work out with my friend megs thursday night, and her and i have plans to work out every monday, thursday and friday nights, maybe even a day or two over the weekend. i am going to lose this weight damn it!

so now i am going to leave you with the stumble of the day

as you can see it is an adorable kitty in a cup of coffee lol.

okay i am off now to study for my exams i have this week..or maybe not. lol

much love,
katie.

Also, I made up my personal blog about my weightloss journey and whatnot. So keep checking that, too!

Until next time (:
Leah

so yea.
i’ll post more i guess on monday.
and i’m not sure when the video will be posted this week cuz i have a crazy fucking schedule and yea. =/ i’m sorry guys it’s all my faultssss.

much love.
katie

Katie was right in saying that I want to lose about 65 lbs by the end of June (I’ll most likely be putting up before and after pics or something if I pull it off) but this week just hasn’t been a good start. Remember Planet Fitness? Well, let’s just say that I didn’t get there. I’ll be posting my own blog to go along with the youtube (I haven’t made it yet, but I’ll link when I do if you guys are interested) so I can keep my progress over there instead of boring everybody else lol.

Anyway! We never took Annie to the vet. Mom pushed back her appointment until Tomorrow. =.= So hopefully we’re going to go to Planet Fitness tomorrow morning, then take Annie to the vet, and then I must work on schoolwork because I’m falling behind once again. I really hope that Annie’s okay. She’s eating like she used to before we took her to the vet the first time, so I think she is, but I’m just worried anyway.

Moving on to what you guys are probably really interested in.

American Idol was on Tuesday and last night. Oh God, Tuesday was amazing for me. I think I found my favorite from the auditions (but I’m not going to say who just yet ;D). I didn’t get to see the majority of Wednesday night’s, though. For some reason the recording didn’t record and.. yeah. And I really wanted to see Fringe tonight to give you guys a review, but my boyfriend is Still playing on his xbox.

Speaking of the 360! He downloaded this incredibly adorable arcade game called Castle Crashers. I didn’t really watch the majority of the game (he just finished the campaign with his friend) but oh God. The stuff that I did see.. So. Freaking. ADORABLE! The graphics are pretty childish, and the story is a little mario-esque where the main character(s for multiplayer) has to rescue a bunch of girls taken from the castle. The journey along the way is pretty incredible. I found myself laughing every time I looked at the tv, as I saw a couple different bosses that include a giant ear of corn, a cat-fish that spits out hairballs(LOL), and some aliens. It’s a little arcade RPG where you get stat points and you can level up your skills, such as magic and defense, and each of the four characters that you can choose from has a different magical ability. Red is lightning, Orange is fire, Green is poison, and Blue is ice. If you own a 360 and have access to gold, I highly suggest downloading the demo and trying it out! Click here for the Castle Crasher’s website. You’ll fall in love, or laugh your butt off, I promise.

And last but not least, the stumble of the day!
I seriously did stumble this today, but I’ve known about this site for years. It’s a place called BME Zine where it’s all about body piercings and other body mods. If you like piercings or tattoos or anything of the sort in the least bit, then you’ll love BME. It’s a community of modified people who have shared their experiences and their personal mods to make the site as extensive as it is. It also has articles, a faq, and a bunch pictures, and a lot of other nifty things! Click here to check it out!

Alright guys.
Until Sunday!

Next week i am going to start working out at the Y on my breaks between school and work in the afternoon. The past few weeks i have had to drive home on those breaks to get my portfolio done to apply to Kutztown University. i am trying to get into their fine art then art education majors.
Anyway, Leah and I are both trying to lose weight this year, i do believe she wants to lose about 65 pounds by june and i want to lose 100 by august. i also want to wear a bikini this summer, something i have been saying i want to do for years now, and this year i am going to do it. since i work with the Y (YMCA) i get a free membership, giving me access to a full gym and a pool, and if i take advantage of that and the big break i have between school and work, i do believe i will achieve my goal, maybe early? who knows. i am going to try to get my mom to work out with me too because she wants to lose weight as well and i can take guests to the Y which is good. I also want to start riding lessons again once i get my finances worked out and start getting paid decent amounts at work.

so everyone wish leah, her mom, my mom, and i luck on our weight loss journey!

D&D update:
yes i am going to be an annoying nerd person and give you guys updates on our campaign at D&D. I went and rolled my character on monday night with ed and patrick. I am a cleric, with pretty decent stats, i stayed human cuz i didn’t really want to alter my stats, and if i would have changed my race to an elf like i wanted it would have changed them, so i just stayed human. tonight is my first day playing in nearly a year, probably about eight months or so, and i am super excited! i miss hanging out and being dorky with ed, patrick and trent. there are new people, zach(ew i dislike him with a passion) and trevor, our resident emo kid lol. ed’s sister also plays, but she might not be for very much longer.
i love how ed’s entire family plays D&D, they go out every friday and play as a family at ed’s uncle’s house, i think is super cool. and i am kind of jealous cuz my parents just sit around and do nothing. i think they wouldn’t fight as much if we did more stuff as a family or they had friends to go out with or whatever, but they are stubborn and don’t like to go out and think that their relationship will be so much better if they just spend every bit of time they can together. which simply is not the case. they are suffocating each other. people who spend every fucking minute together usually don’t last because they get very bored of each other and get sick of each other. DISTANCE IS A GOOD THING PEOPLE! it makes the time that you do get to spend together all the more enjoyable and meaningful. but what adult is going to listen to me, yea no one. so that brings me to the question of the day for today. Do you think that spending time away from your partner, may it be a night out or a mini vacation with the guys/girls, will strengthen the bond that you have, or create one that you are lacking?

and finally for the stumble of the day
today’s stumble is an article with pictures of some amazing art. and this art isn’t created with the type of media you are used to seeing like paint, charcoal, pencil ect, it is made from household objects, like steel wool and cotton.
click!

i found his work to be fascinating, and i hope that you do too.

well i must stop procrastinating and get to the reading i have to do for my class that starts in a little less than an hour.
until friday loves,
Katie

I’m so incredibly sorry that I did not post Sunday! It was very busy for Katie and me, considering on Friday and Saturday I wasn’t feeling well at all. Sunday was our Katie and Leah day, and we DID make a video.. it’s just not up yet because of a few unforeseen circumstances. But, as Katie said, it will be up later tonight! Yaayy! We did a very controversial topic in our latest video, so be sure to watch and reply!

I’m not going to have much of a big topic to talk about today other than a few things going on in my personal life.

I’ve recently decided to start losing weight (dun, dun, duuunn!). Now, ladies and gents, this does not mean that I’ve decided to change my “love yourself” ways. I just want to be healthy, and right now, I’m definitely not. Among other things, I want to RUN . And I don’t mean just jogging around the block. I want to be able to run and not get caught if I’m playing tag or keepaway or something. Right now, that is definitely not the case. I get winded just going up steps, and frankly, I’m sick of it. So, in honor of this change that I’ve made, my mom and I are joining a gym called Planet Fitness for ten dollars a month. It seems like a very good gym with a lot of different ways to strengthen and work your heart and whatnot, and the people seem extremely friendly. Did I mention that the majority of it is purple?! (That’s my favorite color! ) I was already thinking about trying this gym out, but the fact that my friend Kasey goes just made the deal. We used to be really close, but I barely ever see her nowadays, and it seems that she’s going to be my workout buddy from now on! So yay for that!

But anyway. I’m going to have my own weight loss youtube to help track my progress and keep me motivated. (I’m all about motivation these days.) The youtube will be http://www.youtube.com/LeahsJourney but there aren’t any videos or anything up there yet. I’ll post on there every Sunday with results and updates and whatnot, so keep a lookout, and wish me luck!

NOW! Onto the big topic of the night! TV! Haha.

So a new House was on last night called Remorse. Holy shit. I think this might be one of my favorites ever. So the team had to take on the case of a sociopathic woman who was having major ear issues, and the boys are all charmed by her, while Thirteen knows there’s something wrong with her. Towards the end of the show, the woman gets creepier and creepier, and you’re left thinking “geze. why the hell..?” but it’s pretty damn interesting if I do say so myself. Also, House catches up with a man from his past and has to deal with his feelings for Cutty once again. It’s definitely worth watching. I adored this one.

Also, American Idol is on tonight! Gaaah! I can’t wait! I’ll update more on American Idol on Thursday when I get to see both shows this week.

And finally, everyone, is the Stumble of the Day. This website is freakin hilarious. It’s a bit vulgar, but seriously, read it. It’s very funny, and very good advice! It’s called “40 Mistakes Men Make While Having Sex With Women”. Click here!

Well, that’s all folks. Come back tomorrow for Katie’s blog!
And don’t forget to check the youtube for our vlog that we did on Sunday!
