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!
