    The weather is calling my name, beckoning me to go outside.  It’s perfect outside; sunny with clear skies and a calm breeze. Sadly, I have to go to work very, soon so I can’t enjoy the weather.  Later on tonight, probably while watching the Oscars, I will update on my February progress and goals for March.



    Spring, please hurry!


    
Why do I love him so much? 

    I’m very Blessed.

    I toughly enjoyed my day.  I woke up around 7 and went to an early morning fitness class. After, I ran a mile on the treadmill and was shocked to see my time. I have not ran in such a  long time, mainly because I enjoy getting my cardio others ways.  The only type of running I really enjoy is sprinting for short bursts.  Anyway, after starting at a pretty slow pace, and walking for a little bit, I got 8:30 for my mile time. The strange part was that I wasn’t out of breath at all. I now want to actually time myself and put some effort in, and hopefully get it under eight minutes.

    I also spent the afternoon at my mom’s house, talking,  where I tried Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes for the very first time. I must say that  both were very good, and it’s sad that Brussels sprouts get such a bad name.  My mom and I also made a stir-fry with a homemade marinade sauce  for dinner.

     Soo good! I always love her home cooking.


    fist of all, youre so pretty!
    secondly, why do you want to join the navy or airforce?
    thats so cool :)

    I’m so pretty? You have such beautiful blue eyes! I’m jealous.

    The main reasons why I’m joining the military, is to gain independence, direction, and responsibility. I also just think it’s another way to go through life. I’m definitely do not have the right attitude to go to college now, and I don’t want to waste my parents money, especially since I don’t have a clue what I want to do with my life.

    Although, I do plan to get my associates, and maybe even my bachelors degree while in the military.


    how much do you weigh :)?
    im around 5'8 so im just curious
    haha

    I actually haven’t weighed myself in such a long time. I really should though just to see where I stand, but last time I weighed myself I was around the high 130s to low 140s.



     Take me here!

Looking at the Oklahoma one makes me want to vomit! I can’t believe people would feed that to children!

    Introducing…..well, me! After about 200 some-odd posts, I have finally decided to reveal my face. For those of you who don’t know, which would be most, I’m Torie. Sorry for the bad quality, but I’m using my webcam. As soon as I get a slr camera, I will be sure to post to more photos, to make my blog a little more personal. Since this picture only reveals a tad bit about myself, I’ll give you some info on what you can’t tell from the picture.

- Yes, I actually have hair. It’s to my shoulders and mix of waves/curls.
