Worked out for awhile (i might be a little obsessed with EA Sports Active) and way better than I did about 2 hours ago. Also I got a new trophy. Now I have:

Go-Getter (Completed Workout 1 of the 30 Day Challenge)

Dear Diary (Completed 1st Journal Entry receiving all 3 checkmarks) -- although i kinda think that the journal is lame. (hence me being here :P)
Fitness 101 (Completed 101 Exercises)
Tennis Pro (Completed 200 Swings in Tennis)
Running in the Mix (Ran 25 laps on the track)
Slugger (Swung the bat 200 times in Baseball)
Fists of Fotness (Punched 500 targets in Boxing)
Dance Fever (Completed 1000 steps in Dancing) -- not really steps as much as arm movements. Also I fail at churning butter. Must get lessons.
Goaaaaal! (Completed 1 Goal)
Feel the Burn (Burned 100 Calories)
Fitness Inferno (Burned 1000 Calories)
Going for Gold (earned a Gold Medal)
Making it Mine (Created and completed a Custom Workout)
Power Hour (worked out for a total time of one hour)

I have to be close to the basketball one, but I kinda hope that I NEVER get the squat one. *hates squats*

K! Off to take a bath a read. <3
 

i watch way to much tv. more than even my DVR can handle. I actively watch:

HIMYM
Lost
Fringe
Supernatural
True Blood
Hung
Entourage
Burn Notice
Royal Pains
Monk
Pysch
Bones
Castle
Chuck
Big Love
Dexter (sort of -- I watch with Nick)

Plus, I watched all of Kings although I guess that is canceled. I am adding Glee and possibly Vampire Diaries though.

And I have given up on staying active with:
Greys Anatomy
Private Practive
Heroes
The Office

I should really catch up on the Office though.

I think that the worst part though, is that I still find myself missing Firefly, Buffy and Angel. *sigh*

I thoroughly enjoyed looking for a house. And I really enjoy helping Kat look for a house. And now Nick has suggested that I would make a perfect realtor. He is downstairs looking up how to do it, right now. He is adorable. But it's got me thinking...

the servers went down at work again. AGAIN. we amaze me with our ineptitude. tomorrow is going to be long and full of yelling client. whooo.

I still haven't written that letter for my mom. I can't figure out how to give her what she is asking for (a letter to the judge at her disability hearing next week about how her disability has affected me and how it forced her to move to FL) without upsetting her. She isn't going to want to hear what I have to say. And although she says that she knows that it is going to have to be pretty brutal to convince the judge and that she won't be upset, I know her better than that. bah.

in happy news, nick apparently has a clean bill of health. they are officially ruling his fainting and stair-falling-down as a side effect of dehydration. I am glad that there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him, but I almost wish that there was something fixable about it all. seeing him lying there, crumpled, at the bottom of the steps unconsious was the most terrifying thing that I have ever be through. I would be a really big fan of that NEVER happening again. *nods solemnly*

I have totally been neglecting you. *pets*

I am going to be using this to help get revved up for the wedding / weight loss. Fair warning everyone, jump ship now if you want :P I need accountability in my life. *has decided*

Also an outlet about the mom / parents is probably super necessary at this point. *pokes them*

I also think that writing a little bit more might be good for me. Not that I was ever really any good.

But so, expect some more updates. And if you don't get them -- commence the yelling. <3

So I haven't been updating EVERYDAY per say. But it is still better than I was doing for awhile.

I officially live with a boy. It's pretty awesome. He told me today that he likes living with me cause I dance with him. He is pretty much the best thing ever.

We have to move AGAIN this weekend. But at least it will OUR apartment, finally :) I am very excited.

work is lame.

and i have to live with a boy!!

that is all. :P

I just watched the episodes surround Joyce's death in the 5th season of Buffy. Oh man. :(

So I am lame. I am always saying, oh I will write in LJ more. I will keep up with it. Turns out I am unreliable. Also lame. Hence the first sentence. Anyway, turns out work is even...lamer? than I am so I should have some time everyday to put something together there. I miss LJ.

more coming soon.

my world got a little topsy turvy this morning.


maybe I am still dreaming.

Enough is enough - and you feel that you've had enough for a while. You don't need any more battles. You just would like to be able to shout 'stop' and experience a little peace and calm - even if it be only for a little while. This doesn't mean that you need to cut yourself off from the rest of the world - it just means that you are seeking some respite, some physical or emotional relaxation that could release some of the the tension and possibly reduce the internal conflict.

You are looking for something different. Your imagination has been working overtime and you are seeking adventure - and you'd like to share that adventure, the new experience, with someone like yourself: Imaginative, Enthusiastic and Sensitive.

Nothing seems to be going right for you and you are thwarted every way you turn. You are not at all happy with the situation but it would appear that there is very little that you can do about it at this time. Sit back and let the situation take its course, because at this time you feel that there is nothing you can do to change whatever needs to be changed.

It is said that we are all influenced by our environment and indeed you are no exception. It would seem at this time that even though you may be surrounded by people, you are experiencing an inner loneliness. Fortunately you are sufficiently strong minded to realise that life has a great deal to offer you and that you may miss your share of experiences if you fail to make the best use of every opportunity. You therefore pursue your objectives with a fierce intensity and are prepared to commit yourself deeply and readily. You believe that whatever you would like to do or think 'you can do' - you do! It is because of this attitude that you may be considered by others as arrogant and even conceited, but its fair to say that whatever it is that you really want out of life you will put your heart and soul into it and will not take 'NO' for an answer.

There is an inherent fear that you may be prevented from achieving the things you want. This activates your subconscious desire for peace of mind and mental security. It is increasingly obvious to you that the environment that you are in is not conducive to your well-being and so you are seeking fresh fields - somewhere free of conflict where you can RELAX and THINK.

nick yelled at me to update this.

it has been a really long time. yeah, cause you haven't heard that one before.

haha. anyway. life is good. nick is good. friends are good. i miss easton. i miss the ease of high school and the ease of that life. i miss the chaos of college. but that is neither here nor there.

right now i am dealing with the fact that nick is upset that I figured out what he got me for christmas. HE GAVE ME CLUES. now he says that he is going to return it. As long as he gets me a puppy I will be OK with it.

also, I heart angel423.

the end.

a rant:

I cry pretty much year round. But it’s worse in the winter. In the winter, as soon as I step outside, my eyes start to water. If there is any wind, even the slightest breeze—I’m done for. This has always been a source of amusement for those who know me, and a source of confusion for those who don’t. All through college, security guards were concerned for me. Random strangers and RAs were concerned for me. Every time I walked into a building I was crying. It’s very hard to convince people that you aren’t depressed when tears are incessantly running down your face.
Now of course, we have added a new factor to this lovely equation… Public Transportation. Everyone who rides the El in the morning is kind of bleary eyed. It is hard to find someone who is as bad at mornings as I am though. Not usually excessively grumpy, but always amazingly confused by the simplest things. Apparently my brain needs to warm up like an old Chevy Nova on a cold morning— idling for a few hours until I can get in gear and take off. Being at work is conducive to bad metaphors. Anyway, the point is that people already look at me sideways in the morning. Add to that the fact that I cry on the train every morning and it is no wonder that no one sits by me. (silver lining!!) Still though, its disconcerting to be the unsettling person on the El. The El has seen its fair share of unsettling people. Maybe the moral of the story is that the guy curled up on the seat, desperately clutching a box of tin foil and muttering incoherently in his sleep is just like me. Or maybe it’s just that people shouldn’t laugh at me in the morning. It’ll probably make me cry.

I think that I might have discovered the real reason that they call it “March Madness”. Ever since I graduated and left the basketball haven that is the University of Pittsburgh, I have gotten nothing but blank looks when I say that I am excited for March Madness to start. Once in awhile I will get a vaguely confused look to add a little spice to my life. Maybe it’s because I am a girl. More likely it is because I am usually surrounded by people who don’t even know if their college has/had a basketball team. Seriously, Drexel? Penn State? What have their teams done lately? So I have come to believe that they call it March Madness because when you are as excited about it as I am, people look at you like you are mad. :P
Seriously though, my roommates spent more time watching me watch basketball then actually watching the game last night. Which, of course, Pitt won is spectacular fashion. OH!! And I saw Derek! He was jumpin up and down like a crazy person in the middle of Madison Square Garden. I miss my boys!



ETA: Pitt breaks me, as always. Georgetown killed us. *sigh*

have you seen the gardisil commercials (the merck, anti-cervical cancer drug) with the jump roping girls? and they are singing O-n-e l-e-s-s one less, i wanna be one less? yeah well THAT is what kept going over and over again in my head today at work. not a song, not a jingle-- a quasi-musical jump rope rhyme snippet of a commercial.

sigh.

oh!!

and today is nine months for the boy and i.


*doesnt panic, remains calm*
