wii fit

so if you know me, you know i’m in love with my wii fit. i watched and watched for it when i heard it was being made and pre-ordered the darn thing. which is funny b/c i’m not a big game person. the only video game i have is dr. mario for N64 (try and beat me). but i thought this wii thing might be what it takes to get me up off my butt.

it’s pretty amazing, at first i just messed around with the balance games but then i thought, i didn’t pay $90 to ski jump, so i forced myself to do the exercises. a little rough at first but last night i got on and realized i had lost almost 5 lbs just from messing around on this video game for 3 weeks. awesome.

(ignore that red dot, it was a bad week)

14 months

the last 14 months were annoying, embarrassing and painful. but i finally have straight teeth, an aligned bite and the ability to keep them healthy. i hope i never have to have braces again. thanks goes to my dad for footing the bill even though i no longer live in his house.

to celebrate i went to the spa for the first time in my life and will eventually consume all of this, thanks to patrick…

colin hay

this song came on shuffle on my plane ride home last night and i hadn’t heard it in a long time. it’s extremely sad but i love when a song is so perfectly powerful that it actually takes you there. wherever the artist was when they wrote it or where you were when it first attracted you. this song is one of those for me. if you haven’t heard it you should look it up…

I drink good coffee every morning
Comes from a place that’s far away
And when I’m done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don’t want you thinking I’m unhappy
What is closer to the truth
That if I lived till I was 102
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you

I’m no longer moved to drink strong whisky
‘Cause I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter’s still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years
But I don’t want you thinking I don’t get asked to dinner
‘Cause I’m here to say that I sometimes do
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you

the good ole days

those were the days. i was right out of college, twenty pounds heavier, broke, had no insurance and no promise of a job. i was happy. almost 4 years ago i started at nationwide. had a sweet internship with some girls i’m still friends with today. last week, i put in my notice. it’s long overdue but i’m a little sad at the same time. it’s taken me a lot of places, introduced me to some great people. i’m ready for new things. i want to feel like this again…like some bada** who can do anything i want.

it also showed me what i don’t want outta life. in the beginning all the perks of the job sucked me in; work trips, dinners, money, moving up the ladder. i followed the rules, came in early, took short lunches, canceled plans with my boyfriend to get that project done.

not worth it.

i think there is a corporate myth that all of those things are required for someone to really care about their job. i think it can all be done while taking long lunches, sleeping in, and spending more time on things that matter. so that’s what i’m going to do.

parker posey and funny friends

so this week i went to philadelphia and apparently to everyone there i look parker posey? what do you think…i can’t see it.

no time to post much but my friends are funny

full weekend

friday night kicked off the arrested development marathon at casa de zappin. they weren’t messin around either 20 some hours of deliciousness on a full projector screen. after sleeping through most of season 2 it was up for pancakes and “¡ecz cooking lessons!” (logo to come).

then it was home to get ready, pick up the andersons, drink itinerary and tattoo at the mccollums. we checked out the rescheduled c-note show at junctionview studios and then joined a lot of happy irish at spindle to celebrate st. patty’s day. it was a sight to see a few older women yelling “put on ludacris!!” and dancing better than i ever could.

sunday: church, north market and some party of five. always a good way to end the weekend.

learning new things about myself…

so i added this compare people thing on facebook and it has been so funny to watch. i love looking at what people think about me. i’ve included some for your entertainment.

this is what i have been voted for the most…
really? have you ever been shopping with me? just ask amanda…it’s not easy. have you ever been out to eat with me? do you know how picky i am? just imagine what it’s like for me to pick out a pair of shoes if i can’t decide on mexican or chinese.

this one made me laugh, i don’t know if i’ve ever skipped class but apparently i should.

here is one i lost,

i’ve always wondered if i smelled bad, but no one has ever had the guts to tell me.

off to shower…

it wasn’t, it wasn’t…
