Sooooo...it's been over a month since I blogged. Maybe it's because it took me that long to get over the Colts Super Bowl (which so happened to be my last blog entry). A lot has happened since then...
-Let's start with the Super Bowl, shall we? I babysat that Thursday til the Monday after the Super Bowl for my boss' kids (is that right? boss'? I hate confusing plurals and since (multiple) teachers follow my blog, I get nervous). If you remember, that was the weekend we got 10 inches of snow dumped on us. So there was a little cabin fever, but besides that it was pretty awesome. I did watch the game, by myself. There was a lot of swearing, pacing, and anger on my end. I went down to bed, only to get sucked in to watching Titanic on TBS. So here I am, in a huge house alone with two kids and I'm crying watching a disaster epic. Can we all just point out how pathetic that is? Because I sure as hell thought it was.
-We had a HUGE report due mid-February at work, which I helped a lot with. I was nice because of the snow I got to work from home a couple days. But it's kind of a double edged sword, because it's great working from home (hello, pajamas and not showering!!) but at the same time, I worked 12 hours both days. There's no "time to go home/leave the office" when you are at home. Anyways, the report went down to the WIRE on a Friday, and I was living off of caffeine. That night I went to a jewelry party with a dear friend, where we had margaritas and basically were assholes while a poor jewelry rep had to present. It was fun I will admit.
-My best friend Abby and her husband Brandon came home a couple weekends ago from Austin. Her sister, Katie, had a beautiful baby girl, Hallie. She made her entrance in the world a little early, but she is happy and healthy. She's like a little peanut! Abby was pretty tired (so was I!) so we ended up having pizza at Katie's house and watched TV. It's nice having low-mantiencace friends!!
-I've been going to Maggie and Mairin's basketball games on Saturday mornings lately. It's been awesome. Since I can't sleep in anymore (I miss it!), I might as well be cheering for those doodlebugs
-I went to Chicago last weekend to visit Liz. We hadn't seen each other since November!! We had a BLAST. We went to a Blues/Jazz Club on Friday, went shopping/ate ourselves in to a coma on Saturday, then did some more shopping Sunday. I will note that my back was tweaked or something, and I was in excurciating pain. I'm not one to complain, but it was pretty awful. But my love for Chicago trumped any pain, so it's all good. Back to normal now!
-I joined a gym today, the Monon Center. It is pretty amazing. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm a solid 7 on being out of shape. My legs were SHAKING walking down the stairs as I was leaving. I really thought I was going to tumble down them. And we will see if I can lift my arms in the morning. Jeni and I are going to push each other (Bring it!), as working out with a buddy is much more fun.
Well that's everything that's happened up until now. My birthday is in a few weeks, and some friends are coming in town to spend it with me. We got a hotel downtown for the weekend, so I need to get on planning fun things to do! AND I booked a ticket to Austin to see Abs and Brandon one more time before they move back. CANNOT WAIT for them to be home!!
As for some goals (name of the post), I want to just get in shape! I've been making a point to eat better the past month (apps for the iphone are amazing for that), so now it's just working out! I'm also wanting to get closer to finding a place to live. We'll get to that later :)
