Random update.

I just wanted to say that being a
vegetarian for a little over a week hasn't
been bad! I've tried boca burgers (which
were amazing) and a veggie burger (which
wasn't too bad, it was from burger king)
and non-chicken; chicken nuggets! It's
yummy.
Last night I went out shopping to get an
outfit for competetion. I'm so excited!
I'm competing in Retail Merchandising in
DECA for school. I'm hoping to place so
that I can go on to nationals and state.
What an amazing opportunity for my senior
year. I'm not sure where State is, but
nationals is in atlanta Georgia. So cross
your fingers.
I didn't end up finding an outfit but I
found a cute pair of high heels. They're
origionally 35 dollars, but I got them for
20, whoo!!!
We're also getting really bad weather. The
sky is like almost black, has been really
dark all day. I didn't end up going to
school today. When we were leaving it was
raining & then it started to sleet, so
my mom turned around and took me back home
and by the time we got home it was snowing
in really big flakes and thundering. I've
never heard it thunder while it was
snowing. We're supposed to get 8-12 inches
of snow, eeek!

I try the whole vegetarian thing every
once in awhile. Then I remember that I
like meat. 
Good luck on both!

Thanks b!
*btw, when I said I didn't know where
state was, I'm sure it's in Missouri, I
just meant I didn't know where in Missouri
lol I realized it made me sound kind of
stupid.
& mainly we have to do a 100 question
test based on what we're competing in,
& then we have to do 2 role plays. We
have to dres in business type clothes, and
show confidence like... having a good hand
shake and eye contact, ect. I think I've
got that down.
I'm really nervous about the role playing
though. I get so nervous doing things like
that and end up making myself look like an
fool. But I want to place SO BAD.
& about vegetarianism (did I spell
that right?  )
it's really not that bad. Last time I did
it I didn't try anything new to replace
it, I just did veggies and fruit and
that's mainly it. This time I've tried the
boca burgers and nuggets like I said &
I think it helps. I've never really been a
big meat eater anyway. You say you can't
live without chicken, and I honestly think
if you tried the boca burgers you wouldn't
know the difference. They taste exactly
like chicken, only they're healthier. =)
edit: & thanks Ingi!

Well... I'm going to have to argue with
the healthfulness. But you knew I would
Bocaburger is not 'healthier' than a
bonesless skinless chicken breast. It is,
however, healthier than say, a breaded
chicken pattie. Or chicken nuggets. Any
other process chicken.

Ah, true! I'd just rather have it than
meat. I've mentioned the book Skinny B*tch
a lot of times here and there, I just
think about all of the things I read there
and I'd rather not put chicken or any
other type of meat in my mouth again lol I
think about all of the things that go into
the meat and, blah. Can't do it.

Oh I totally agree. I buy organic
everything. Cage free, vegetarian chicken
eggs. I was not even aware that chickens
weren't vegetarian - or weren't fed a
vegetarian diet. Knowing that now seems...
creepy. MEAT EATING CHICKENS? Scary!

Yeah, if you read the label for the cage
free, cruelty free eggs at the grocery
store, it tells you that they are also
vegetarian chickens. I never knew chickens
were meat eating! I did know they were
hormone injected and they are prodded to
have more eggs, more eggs, more eggs in
any artificial way possible.
The cage/organic/cruelty free eggs are
quite good.

worried about how my feet are gonna feel
after wearing them. We're going to Zona
Rosa and going shopping after competetion,

Yes, make sure to bring regular shoes.
Cute and comfy don't always go together.
Which is too bad, because those are some
cute shoes!

Your DECA must be like our FBLA in high
school? My junior year I went to
competition & won first place, went to
states & was this [---] close to going
to Nationals but didn't place high enough
at states! It was so much fun though. We
had to dress in businessy clothes too
& do all that!

not cool with is the sodium in it.
