Nothing Special

I have this really good (at least I think really good) idea for a Fashion Friday post but I really don't have the motivation to do it today, may next week. I feel kind of blah. I hope it isn't the onset of swine flu. Kidding, kidding, I really just don't feel like writing, instead I am going to force myself to work out.

In the past maybe month or so my weight really hasn't changed which is disappointing. It is strange because I can definitely tell my body is changing; I am toning and look thinner but I want to see the number on the scale go down too! I try to just keep thinking that it is marathon not a sprint and what I am really trying to do is create a healthier lifestyle...but that is easier said then done! On a more positive note I really like the Kettlenetics dvds, I have the one with two different workouts and I started with the 20 minute basics but am now doing the 40 minutes...which is HARD, but satisfying. I want to get the 30 Day Shred...has anyone tried it? I think I am going to keep going with the kbells too but I would like to mix it up. If you have any other tips let me know, I don't want to "go on a diet" because then you have to go "off" (as they were saying on Oprah today.) I am getting used to it taking time but I appreciate any insights you all might have!

Tomorrow marks one year since K and I moved into our apartment! I can't believe how fast time goes by. He is in the middle of finals right now so I am going to be leaving him alone and spending some time with my mom this weekend as well as going to visit my puppy. I can't wait to post more pictures of her! Have a great weekend everyone!


P.S. This post ended up a lot longer then I originally thought! I guess I felt like writing after all.

Um Kelly, the mothership called...time to return to the home planet

If I had any lingering doubts about Kelly's insanity they are now gone. That lady is a nut job. Seriously. The first strange incident last night occurred at the Countess' Luann's "Sex and the City" Girls Night (how sad was it by the way that she was talking about living vicariously through the single girls...ironic.) At first I thought that Kelly was kidding when Luann told her to let her hair down, and she actually...let her hair down. I really think that she didn't know what that expression means.

Then there was the showdown with Bethenny, where Kelly proved she knows about "mountains and molehills." Yet another incorrect expression Kelly, way to go. The "showdown" was just awkward, I really can't think of anything snarky to say about it...it was just too weird. I mean who tells someone right after this big fight "you look great in that Zac dress"? Huh?

I really think she is an alien...I used to think Ramona was, but next to Kelly, Ramona looks...dare I say...normal?

Perhaps Simon and Alex will drag her back to their (NEWLY REMODELED!) Vampire lair/living room and feed her to their wild French monkey children.

Tag-arific Part 2

Here is the other one, I was tagged by Children of the 90s. Here are the rules:

1. Mention the person who nominated you.
2. List six unimportant things that make you happy.

Here are my things, most of them are pretty weird:

1) My car, it was my first big adult purchase and I just love it. Sometimes I think it is too expensive but then I drive it and I fall in love again.
2) Seeing horses in fields. I was never a horseback rider or anything but I always love to see them and yell "Horsey!" as a go by. Weird, I know. If Donkeys are there with them it makes it even better.
3) Uggs, I have three pairs already and will probably get even more. I know some people hate them and I don't care.

4) Infomercials...I find them intriguing. A dream job would be an infomercial presenter, is that the job title?

5) Restaurants where you can write on the walls or tables. I am so classy. (couldn't find a good pic)

6)Lady Gaga

Those were pretty silly. Again I am going to tag anyone who wants to play!

Blue, White and Frustrating

I had every intention of blogging about my wonderfully fun weekend, however it really wasn't. It was actually pretty frustrating the majority of the time. I love my friend, R, but she is not the best hostess...basically she didn't seem to care much about what we wanted to do and was more concerned about meeting up with guys and her other friends. The day involved a lot of cleaning up, monitoring people that were obnoxious, and jumping said people's cars. I won't bore you with all the details...oh and to top it off I got a totally sweet farmer's tan sunburn. My friends get along great but with any close group of girls...there is drama from time to time.

Do have to point this out...I volunteered to organize the packing of the car to go to the tailgate. And it was a thing of beauty; my dad---one of the best car packers in the world---would be so proud. In fact I need to show him this picture. We also fit 7 people in there too!

So while I didn't have the best weekend my day was just made as I was checking up on all the blogging I missed...I won the Jimmy Buffett Challenge at Adventures in Newlywed! It is the first blog giveaway I have ever won! Thanks Newlywed Wife, love your blog!

Happy Weekend...a bit early

I am not going to do a Fashion Friday post this week because I am cooking and baking tonight for the weekend then leaving work early tomorrow. My college girlfriends and I are going to Penn State (where my friend R is in grad school) for the Blue and White Weekend. I am not familiar with this Penn State event but it is supposed to be super fun and we will be tailgating all day on Saturday (hence the cooking and baking.)

I hope you all have wonderful weekends! Anyone doing anything fun?
