For the past few days, I have been relentlessly productive.  I wake up early, get shit done, and still manage to have a good time.  Of course, this "shit" that "gets done" mostly consists of the deep cleansing of our pantry, tossing out old clothes, getting all vaccinated, cooking/eating, and working out, rather than facing the music and writing my ( Read more... )

I was just innocently digging through my boxes of clothes that:

a) I never wear because they suck
b) I never wear because it's hot in Arizona 11 out of 12 months
c) I never wear because they shrunk after their first washing (thanks New York & Co.)
d) I never wear because they don't fit me

And, because it's finally long-sleeve shirt weather, it's about ( Read more... )

The best way to wake up?  Wrapped in warm, flannel sheets, regardless of how cold it is.  Okay, so maybe I can think of a couple better ways to wake up.  Especially because this occurred at approximately 6:00am and with me wishing that I could apparate (nerd!) into a hot shower.  And Christian Bale was no where to be seen.  But, for now, we'll ( Read more... )

I was leafing (or mousing) through a few pictures on Facebook, and happened upon my old Band Banquet album from last December.  Bianca had just sent me some pictures from Jason's Black and White party over Labor Day weekend, to which I wore my banquet black dress and my "I just drank a whole lot last night at my birthday party" complexion.  ( Read more... )

After having the bad, grumpy day yesterday, I made my way over to Bookman's for some used book therapy.  Seriously, it's the best there is.  Not only are the books about half the listing price, but I still had a little credit from the last time I sold a few to them.  I came away with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (because it was lent out ( Read more... )

This afternoon, Mia and I went shopping.  And I bought shoes.  They're pretty and white and don't have holes in the heels where my foot has dug into the material.  And they're magical.

No, seriously.  They're magic shoes.

Last week, during my surprise vacation in Phoenix, I attempted my parents' treadmill.  Now, I am no runner.  My knees and hips ( Read more... )

Three months ago I started what I lovingly called The Care Plan.  I had a set of goals and their matching steps and I was going to do it.  While it ended up morphing into something completely different with different tactics and different results than I anticipated, the Weight Loss Plan of Summer 2007 has been a success.  In a mere three months, I ( Read more... )

Maple syrup is everywhere.  Here I am, at my parents house, where they are out of milk, attempting to create a very rare breakfast of french toast with warm maple syrup, and I spill maple syrup from my plate onto the counter.  I then take it to my computer, where I spend all my breakfasts, and proceed to spill maple syrup on my desk.  Finally, as I ( Read more... )

The most fabulous part about a vacation is that you can pretty much do whatever you like without feeling too guilty. Sure, my room is still a mess from the explosion of clinicals and papers and tests from the end of the semester, but there's no pressure to get it done. Instead, I spent my day in the best way possible- reading a book. I also ( Read more... )
