Good news: I think I have finally learned to do the flip turn, just need to practice and perfect it. yay!!!!

Bad news: My stupid swim cap ripped while I was getting ready for class, so I had to swim with my hair flying around and in my face and in my mouth, and yes that is with most of it pulled into an elastic in back.

Good news: My skin is so cleared up right now. Thank you Clinique and Tazorac! And drinking water!

Bad news: Still at the same weight. I reckon I will wait until after new year’s to seriously step up the better eating plan. I seem to be exercising enough, though not enough weights training at all. Winter make Jane eat carbs.

Must make the gift cookies today cookies. Sigh. Just have to remind myself that the end result will be worth the mess and the time it takes.

Supposed to be a “formal” (joke) party tonight at Brian’s old apartment but I kind of don’t want to go. Neither of us have anything to wear (it’s supposed to be cheesy crappy prom outfits), Brian has an eight-hour seminar at the dojo today, and I have so much damn stuff to do — making xmas cards and baking and reading my JSTL book for work. Doesn’t seem worth it to take the stinky old 22 bus out to Potrero just so we can watch a bunch of people we don’t know getting wasted and trashing the place. Bad timing, methinks. No “motivation.” Mang.

Into the kitchen I go.
