I went to the hospital right as October started for stomach surgery, caught a cough/cold there and learned I couldn't eat dairy products for a bit. Around September, I looked greenish which should've told me something.

Since then, I weigh about 115. I have gained weight from eating regularly again and look/wear the same size as before but more filled out. I'm at the point where I could care less. I feel like telling anyone who ever complains about it, "My hip measurement is 32"! Shut up! Do you want me to have 29" hips? YOU eat a salad!" Whenever I live up North anyway, like growing up in IL or now, i can eat a lot, mostly whatever I want and stay on the thin side. It's with the stupid allergy medicines I take in Texas that I look bad.

I love some of the print writing I have been doing thanks to my awesome editor. I love either writing "real" news articles or being funny and I want to get a chance to do both equally. Modeling has gotten better for me, I enjoy doing book stuff for other people and the weirdest thing has been every day, I get closer to sports involvement. Really! It's so weird. It wasn't my first choice but my mom's choice for me considering my opportunities I've been given in my life and who I've hung out with, but it's growing on me. It can be really fun.

Sports I DO and have always followed: college football! I'm hoping the best for the Longhorns this year! Although I'm wondering why Mack Brown reuses the same plays he knows opposing teams notice by now! What is going on with that?

This week, I caught another cold/cough/sore throat...again. :-o

Last night watching Food Network around midnight or so, right after that, the new "Extreme Sweets" show came on with Mr. Adam. For anyone who didn't watch Work for Food last year, the new show is different anyway - really cute and fun. He went around Hollywood area sweet factories/stores which were normal until the part with the bug candy. Have you ever seen those lollipops with worms inside, chocolate crickets, a big red apple cased in by caramel bugs? Ecgkh. Later, he went to a place with the jellybean portraits. I got to see a couple of them in person! They're more colorful than on the show. I never knew you commissioned one.

Probably going to update my blog soon in this entry....
