so i've been whining to my blog friends // being disappointed when there are no new blogposts on my dashboard, but then i realized that i haven't posted in a week.... so here i am, posting so that i can feel guilt-free about pestering others to post :)
randomness:
- yesterday i bought HARRY POTTER midnight premiere tickets!!! yes, i have to be at work at 8:30 am the next day. no, i probably won't get more than 3 hours of sleep before. worth the sacrifice? duhhh.
- i don't have to work another MONDAY for 3 weeks!!! that is VERY exciting.
- 4 days of work until i'm on a plane bound for pennsylvania :)
- surprisingly, i have stuck to my new healthy lifestyle: hello, week 4. the holidays are going to pose a bit of a challenge, but i'm hoping to still jog while i'm out of town. hopefully i can surive doing so in 30 degree weather!
- finally broke down and bought a pair of Fuggs. only $15 at target! and so toasty. no worries though: i have no plans of wearing them with leggings and nike shorts.
- shout-out to my friends who received medical school acceptances today!!! so excited for yall!!!
- true life: i was scanning down my mini-feed and saw that one of my FB friends posted a link to a pioneer woman pie she made. i got super excited and wrote a paragraph long comment. 30 minutes later, i realized that i mistook her thumbnail size pic and actually commented on a stranger's status. well, one of those random "we both live in the same dorm, so i'm going to friend you before college" people. yah, that was like 5 years ago, and we have never spoken: my life is awkward.
- in 8 hours, i'll be awake and getting ready for work: lame. can we please go to 4-day work weeks?

a case of the mondays...
after a wonderfully relaxing weekend, i should have seen it coming. but once again, i was blind-sided by monday. and let me tell you, it was quite the monday...
- woke up 40 minutes early thanks to mr. sun illuminating my room by 6:15 AM
- stumbled around because i couldn't find my glasses & ended up stepping on my laptop
- got smoothie on my WHITE shirt on the way to work
- forgot my sunglasses and had to stare into the sun for my hour of driving
- had tons of makeup work waiting for me since friday. still didn't catch-up.
- lunchtime smoothie was yucky
- cut my finger while trying to change the registration sticker on my car
- did a new client intake over the phone. the cray cray then called me back and demanded to know my first & last name since i had her information. um, no.
- lost my car key at the bank
- was ordering boots online, and between putting them in my cart & checking out, they sold out
anddddddd it is not even 6pm. i was thinking of going running tonight, but on second thought, i should probably lock myself in a padded room to avoid any other problems..
edit: 5 minutes after writing this post, i went to eat dinner. i dumped half my plate on the floor: fail.

happy weekend!!!
so after the longest week ever, it is FINALLY the weekend :)... and it is off to a great start!
-friday i hardly did any work. my boss wanted me to help her write clues for a scavenger hunt, and then i went with her to leave them at different places in a shopping complex. i probably only actually worked an hour the whole day. AND i got off an hour and a half early: SO HAPPY.
- between that + a glorious friday afternoon nap + dinner with the fam + watching "the office" + reading "the girl with the dragon tattoo" -- it added up to a perfectly relaxing evening!
- this morning, i drug my mom with me to the Y, and i jog/walked 3 miles in 37 minutes! slow by most peoples' standards, but hey, that's big news for the girl who has avoided running [slash feared the treadmill] her whole lifeeeeee. for those of you interested, i'm on week two of couch-2-5k: walk 5 minutes, then alternate 1.5 minutes of jogging with 2 minutes walking... all these turkey trots coming up make me wish that i were already able to jog a 5k! hopefully next year...
anyway, happy weekend to you! and SIC 'EM BEARS! beat OSU!

random thoughts
- i love people watching during my hour-long commute. the other day i had a lady following me with a snowcone in one hand & her cell in the other. i'm wondering how she was steering the car...
- i am SO excited that elections are over. if i had to watch another political ad, i was going to cry. i didn't realize how much i preferred food/prescription/etc commercials to these terribly made, slander-based ads.
- i've realized that i really hate receiving sympathy. i generally don't tell people what's going on because i don't want to hear "i'm sorry" - i know it is the socially acceptable thing to say, but i'd rather bypass the whole conversation. and i often do.
- i went on a wonderful run after work today. i really want to get into the whole running thing. i think it would be a great life-long stress reliever.
- i'm currently on a smoothie craze. for breakfast, i blend up a scoop of chocolate whey powder (26 grams of protein!) with a banana, ice, & soy milk. then for lunch, i mix yogurt + frozen fruit + milk... it is kind of weird eating (or drinking ) 2/3 meals of the day, but they're actually pretty filling & healthy!
- it's november! that means harry potter 7! and thanksgiving! and a trip to pennsylvania!
- today the high in houston was around 70 degrees. i wore a dress + cardi + tights + a scarf to work. what a happy day! i'm SO excited it has finally decided to be fall in houston!
hope everyone has a wonderful week!
