Leanna Land

I’ve made a plan to change my life instead of just bitching about it. It’s a work in progress, but I’ve got a basic plan at least!

1. Food
I’m sick of being, well lets not beat around the bush about this, fat. I’m 5′4″, an inch shorter than Eliza Dushku, but I’m *cough* quite a bit larger than her. So, I’m going back to basics. Rice or beans, steamed vegetables, and a shitload of water. No sweeteners, no fat, and very little salt. Lean meat once a week.

2. Exercise
I used to be able to walk miles without fatigue, but I can’t anymore. So I’ll start walking until I’m strong enough to run, and run until I’m strong enough to weight train. This is as far as I’ve gotten with this so far..

3. Lifestyle
Start doing things for me, to further my own life. Voice lessons, driving lessons, and get my finances back on track. Make plans to move to San Diego. My dream is to be a voice actress, so there has to be something I can do to start that off on the right track.

So that’s it for now.

My name is Leanna, and I’m a compulsive wrapper.

I’ve been wrapping presents for everyone in my family, mainly because I’m the only one with the patience to do so.  Unfortunately, the fact that I’m a total obsessive compulsive is hurting me on this.  Not only do I have to wrap in order (mom, uncle, dad, cousin etc), all the kids in the family get their own wrapping paper.  C gets spiderman, L gets spongebob, and K gets family guy.  Yes, I have family guy wrapping paper.

I even went so far as to buy a gift card and a nice little tin to put it in.  Then I WRAPPED THE TIN.  I think I need therapy.

Seriously, who does that?!

OK, so here’s the thing..

No one is around that would find this as fucking ironic as I do.  My new house is less than 5 minutes away from one of the largest shopping complexes in the KC area, as well as at least 6 hotels, a new gambling complex, and the Kansas Speedway.  It’s on the opposite side of the highway from all of those things.  There are cable stores in the shopping complex where you can order cable services.

I can’t get cable.

Not only can I not get cable, they don’t even seem to know that the house exists!  I’m less interested in the TV aspect, because who are we kidding, every TV show is available on the internet for cheaper than you could pay for cable.  Everyone knows that, but I don’t have any internet!  I had to go to Plan “Oh Shit!” and get a laptop connect card from ATT wireless just in case.  Oh course that’s 5GB of data, and $60/mo on my wireless bill.  Damn you apple and your no teathering!

Sigh.

Howdy!

My name is Leanna.  Actually, it isn’t, but you know.. that’s what you’re getting from me.  I’m an amatur cook, aspiring author, web 2.0 guru and last but not least, completely fabulous.  Egen/Eggo made me start a blog, which I suppose is something I should have done ages ago.  I HAD a blog, but not a proper blog.  Egen helps a lot, thanks Egen.

So, more about this little blog.  It’s about food, it’s about illness, it’s about happiness, it’s about writing and music and fitness and confusion and anger.. ok, you caught me, it’s about my life.  Ta da.

That’s about it.  I’ll post more later.

Go away now.
