Eagerly Anticipating

Posted on

Happy Thursday! Today, I am eagerly anticipating …

… the weekend. Friday? Plans with my family. Saturday? Plans with friends. Sunday? Working (but I’m choosing not to think about that!).

… getting back to a regular exercise schedule again. I’ve been sick (wahhhhhh), and my routine has been disrupted. I’m itching to be active again. I know it’s not possible, but being inactive makes me feel like I’ve gained 78 pounds in the last six days.

… sunshine! Winter sucks. And yes, I know it’s only October. I’m tired of the miserable weather (insert a stereotypical Tweet or Facebook post here, which drive me insane) and would really like some sun and warmth back in my life.

… another category on Jeopardy where I know all of the answers. Last night, I dominated “TV Theme Songs”. It will be several months before I can tackle an entire subject again.

… the pot luck we are having at work for Halloween. Oh yes, I’m well aware that it’s almost a week away. I like pot lucks, okay?!

… being able to breathe out of my nose again (see above).

… knowing all of the words to Taylor Swift’s new album. I’m close. I will feel truly accomplished when that happens. And the inside of my car won’t know what hit it ;)

What are you eagerly anticipating today?


Can’t Stop Spilling

I had a really, really fabulous idea for a post. It came to me just as I was drifting off for a nap yesterday. I woke up, and poof, it was gone.

Whoops. But I needed that nap.

Confession? It was before 6PM and I didn’t wake up until 8PM. This leads me into a quick (and a little bit word vomity) update on my life. I think it’s necessary … I’ve been popping in and out of the blog world quite frequently. I feel like I haven’t let you guys know what’s up!

I’ve been going out a lot lately. I’m not particularly happy with myself over this. I went out Friday night for one of my best friend’s birthday. I could have controlled myself. I didn’t. Went to bed at 3AM, and was way less than productive the next day. Saturday night? I went out again. I’m never a double whammy weekend kind of girl. That night? Went to bed at 5AM. Not cool.

Enough is enough. For the next little while, if I go out, I’m drinking very little. Or (more likely) not at all. I know I’m young and should be having fun and blah blah blah … but I also enjoy feeling healthy. And I don’t the morning after. And sometimes, for a few days (hello, my elderly lady status 6PM nap yesterday). BALANCE IS NECESSARY HERE.

I will be going to a charity dinner this Friday – not a bar. I’m going shopping on Saturday + out for Thai food with a very good friend … and then I’d really like to be asleep by 10PM ;) Like, really really really want to be.

Hmm, what else is new? Work is fantastic. I’m working my tail off. We’re short staffed, so the workload has become even larger. Sometimes that’s frustrating, of course. But overall, I really am still loving what I do. Talk to me again next week when I’m up to my neck in stacks of tapes and am working serious overtime to get a large chunk of the post-production of my new show done. But for now … I’m good :)

I paid off my credit card. Great feeling (the words keep spilling out of my mouth onto the screen today).

Speaking of credit cards, I’m buying myself this sweater:

I don’t remember subscribing to the Victoria’s Secret catalogue. But it comes to my apartment (with my name on it, not just randomly). This month, I’m happy I get it. Can’t wait to wear that sweater.

I’ve been dating quite a bit lately. Like, more than one person at a time. I realized the other day that I don’t really like any of them and I’m tired of forced conversations. I have ended/am ending them all (#sorrynotsorry). Maybe I’ll start dating again when something happens with the guy I’m actually into? Otherwise it’s just exhausting. Also, am I on Dr. Phil all of a sudden? I’ve never talked about my romantic life on the blog before. SO. MUCH. WORD. VOMIT. TODAY.

Survivor starts tomorrow. Yessss.

Guess who has been having repeated Mad About You marathons? Thanks, Netflix. I forgot how much I love that sitcom. I want to be in that marriage.

I have to end this post. The chaos is probably a) driving you crazy or b) exhausting you or c) making you really want to watch Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt get into an argument over what’s for dinner/their new couch/her parents.

Have a wonderful day!
