I can’t buy the DVD until May 4, but I want to start it as soon as May 1st. Thankfully, level one is available on YouTube. My question is, how many days do we do Level 1?

…sucks!!! On one hand, I want to workout. I was planning on going to kickboxing, lifting weights, then go on the elliptical for 45 minutes while I watch Felicity on my phone. On the other hand, I’m so very tired from work. I just have zero energy right now. All I want to do is continue re-watching Felicity on Netflix, and maybe sleep super early. I don’t want to make excuses, but I just…I don’t know if I NEED a break today, or I SHOULD take a break today. Is there a difference? Someone tell me it’s OK? I’ve probably asked that before, but I feel like I’m doing something bad by not working out today. 

I’ve been feeling bloated all day. :(

Anything I can do or stop doing to get rid of feeling bloated?

Maybe I just have to wait for it to pass….gas? Haha. Can’t be gas. It doesn’t hurt when I press down on my belly.

I’m thinking of taking a 5:15am Bootcamp class tomorrow. I’m kind of scared. Haha. I haven’t taken one since that one time on Christmas Eve, and that was pretty freakin’ intense! I was not expecting that. The guy teaching tomorrow looks scary. I’ve seen his classes in the morning before. AAHH!! *hides* But I need to kick my ass into gear. Had a bad chocolate binge today.

Tomorrow’s gym schedule may consist of:

Bootcamp (MAYBE) 5:15am-6:15am

Kick Abs 7:15am-8:15am

Basic Yoga 8:45am-9:45am

Piyo Fusion 12:15pm-1:15pm (A renewing and centering combination of dance based toning, Pilates, ball, and yoga that will promote a lean and flexible body)

Zumba 5:30pm-6:30pm

Zumba 7pm-8pm

I love my days off. I can take advantage of all the good classes throughout the day. I don’t have a life anyway. Don’t let this list impress you, though. I might not even take all those classes. I want to, but we’ll see.

Still not sure about the Bootcamp class, though. If you guys think I should take it, ‘like’ this post. If I get at least 6 ‘likes’, I’ll take it. GO! GO! GO!

Not so good. Haha. Tasted mostly of tofu, and the Stevia made it kind of bitter. The most Stevia I use in one thing is one packet. I drowned the taste out with a lot of fruit. lol.

I might have to find an alternative sweetener. Definitely not Splenda. Anyone know if Agave syrup is good? Or Honey Powder?

A spin class!!! But after that ONE class I took back in June, my bum hurt for a week!! I’ve been terrified to go back ever since! But, good grief, that was one hell of an awesome workout. Anyone know what I can do to help with the pain? Do I just suck it up? Agghh. Don’t know if I can. I’m a chicken.

I’m going to Seattle with a friend tomorrow. We’ll be going to Capitol Hill for “dance” practice, and it’s just so happens to be right next to Molly Moon’s. Now, for those of you who don’t know, Molly Moon’s is a homemade ice cream shop known for their unique flavors. 

It will be the first time I’ve ever been to this infamous shop. I tried to go the last time I was in the neighborhood, but the line led to about 10 people outside the shop! I didn’t have time to stand in line because I had a ferry to catch.

Anyway, I’ve heard a lot of really good raves & reviews of the place, but I’m not quite sure what I should order for my first time. Here’s where I need your help, Seattle. What flavor should I try first, and why?

okay, so I understand that where the structure bends and connects are CARBONS, but how am I supposed to count how many Hydrogen molecules there are?

The ends are CH3’s right? but what about everything else inside?

are there a total of 20 Hydrogen molecules inside?

I’m really rusty on my OChem, but I’ll try to help.

Carbon has four covalent bonds, yes?So they will bond to four hydrogens. CH4 is methane. Once the carbon in methane bonds with another carbon, each carbon will be bonded to only 3 hydrogens instead of 4 each. The molecule is now Ethane (C2H6).

Now, if we take 3 carbons bonded together, 1 carbon will be bonded to 2 other carbons. Those 2 carbon atoms will be taking up 2 of the 4 bonds, leaving the initial(middle) carbon to have bonds to two hydrogens. As you already know, the carbons on the ends will have three hydrogens. So, the formula will be, C3H8 AKA propane.

I don’t know if that helps. I got confused just writing it out. It might help if you draw out that structure in an expanded structural formula, with all the carbon to carbon to hydrogen bonds. That’s what I did when I had to figure out how many carbons & hydrogens were in a formula.

Again, I hope this helps. OChem was a long time ago for me. D:

Hello Tumblr.

(I’m not an avid Tumblr-er, so bare with me.)

I need to track down two girls. These girls have a camera, on which a picture was taken of Evanna Lynch and I at the Esther Earl Rockin’ Charity Ball at LeakyCon. 

I waited by the VIP area for around two hours before essentially begging Lauren Lopez to could pull some strings. I was allowed into the VIP area, and Lauren took the picture with the girls’ camera. (I had to use the camera of a stranger because mine sadly died a few hours prior, and my friends were nowhere to be found, and we all know there was no reception in that room).

It’s very important that I get this picture. My friend absolutely LOVES the character of Luna - and she is also in the final stages of breast cancer. She wanted to attend Leaky, but couldn’t, because she was hospitalized. I PROMISED her that I would meet Evanna at LeakyCon and get a picture of the two of us together. She doesn’t have much time left…could be weeks, could be days. Seeing this picture would make her happy - an emotion that one just doesn’t feel when you know your life is about to come to a close.

Unfortunately, I only gave the girls my info - I didn’t get theirs. I don’t remember their names (of course). I just know it was two girls around my age (21). They said they’d get the picture to me last Monday, if I heard correctly…it’s been over a week now and I have not heard from them.

So, I’m taking my search viral…I NEED to find these two girls.

TL;DR: I need to find two girls whose camera Lauren Lopez used to take a picture of Evanna Lynch and I at the Yule Ball.
