Hi.
1. I found Project Runway on Hulu last week and that has consumed every ounce of free time these days. In fact, I am typing all this during the commercials. Speaking of commercials, I think that if I am paying for Hulu Plus, I should be able to watch my tv shows without commercials. I mean, what am I paying $8 a month for. I pay that much with Netflix, and that is commercial free. Someone at Hulu needs to fix this.
2. My hair is getting so long! I haven't had a hair cut since last September! I absolutely loooove getting my haircut, so the only reason why I haven't gone is because I decide that I'd rather spend that money on fun. But as I am looking at my split ends, I realize that maybe it's time to at least get a trim. I am really liking the long hair lately though. It's nice to be able to put it up in a ponytail, bangs and all. Plus I am so hip with my natural ombre look.
3. A few months ago, I thought I had arthritis in my left wrist. It had been killing me for awhile. Like one night I was carrying a platter for a few minutes and as soon as I set it down my wrist was in serious pain. I had to stretch it out for about 10 minutes before the pain went away. It was especially irritated at work, so I went to the work doctor and had to go through a few weeks of physical therapy twice a week. I am proud to report back that I do not have arthritis. I just had some sort of 'itis' in my elbow that was flaring up with overuse.
4. The main thing I miss from my trip to Boston this winter is the biscuits from Sweet Cheeks. They were the most delicious biscuits I have ever had. And they come with honey butter. YUMMMMM. I want to go back there ASAP just to eat those.
5. The greatest thing I ever learned from Jake is NASCAR is actually kinda cool. I skipped church a couple of weeks ago for the Daytona 500 (the Superbowl of NASCAR). I am extremely superstitious about baseball and such. And now it has bled into NASCAR. Matt Kenseth was in the lead for most of the race and then towards the end I left my apartment to finish watching it was with Jake. No more than 2 minutes after I left me apartment, Kenseth's car started smoking and he was done for. I blame it all on myself. :(
6. It's my birthday month and for my present to myself I am taking a trip around the country. Starting at Disneyland, then on to NYC and hopefully Atlanta and St. Louis. I have 17 days off work. Lot's of extra time to go anywhere I want!
7. I kissed an Australian in February just to say that I did. He was here in town for about a month for work. He currently lives in Melbourne though. He fell madly in love with me from the minute he saw me (true story- took the words right out of his own mouth) And wanted to have a long distance relationship with me. In the space of about 6 days we went from not knowing each other to him professing his love. So obviously we made out. And then I said I hate long distance and goodbye. And now he's back down under. I have a little stuffed kangaroo to show for it.
8. Speaking of international, my best coworkers and I took a little road trip up to Canada in February. Probably one of the greatest trips ever. There's a difference between being great friends with someone and being able to travel with them. These people are both to me. It started raining as soon as we got up there so we did a little walking around but quickly headed back to the hotel for the hot tub, then played games. Eventually we went back out later, but I am sure we could have just stayed in all night. In a foreign city. Some people would have gone stir crazy to check out the city. We just enjoyed doing headstands all night. I can't wait for more trips to come with the 4 of us.
9. I was going to get in the fantasy sports craze this season with baseball. I told the commissioner of a league of guys from work that I was in. He actually needed extra people so he was excited for me to play. Plus all the guys at work appreciate my baseball knowledge. But when it came down to actually making the league, he left me out. So I am saving $50 and am now the assistant manager of Jake's team. After two weeks of paying attention to "my" team, I am convinced that fantasy sports is quite fun and I would love to do it next year.
10. I am horrible at blogging. I started this list in February. It is now April 16th. (Ty Turley Trejo's birthday) Last night I hung out with a friend and we both decided that I should get back into blogging. It will help me in my search for a new job. I need to show more experience in the social media world for a future employer. So, get ready blog world! Just call me Carrie Bradshaw. (I wish I had room for another tidbit... I have to talk about my most embarrassing obsession right now!)
Bye.
