I just did my first Zumba class
(and maybe last because I am way too uncoordinated for that shit, but that is a whole separate topic)
and all I want to do is drink beer, eat girl scout cookies, pasta and deep dish pizza.
A bit of catch up (in bullet form, sorry):
I am feeling quite uninspired these days, but in case you were curious, this is what I’ve been up to.
I am on a self-imposed shopping ban until March 19. For no real reason other than I have clothes in my closet with the tags still on and I think my bank account would appreciate it.
I took my dad to the hospital for surgery this past Thursday. He was getting a hernia removed, and is okay...
We now know where Courtney's baby voice comes...
And I still hate her, by the way.

Things that are saving my already stupid day:
Starbucks Blonde roast (it is a game-changer for my and Starbucks’ relationship)
Tomorrow is Friday
I have about half of a bag of peanut M&Ms in my desk drawer
Tomorrow is Friday
What’s new with you?
Does anyone have a good vegetarian chili recipe?
Thank you!

This is what I’ve tried to realize over the past couple of years. I think I’ve done a good job.

I have an irrationally strong urge to hug and...
I am not pregnant. I am not becoming pregnant any time soon.
So, this might be a bit of a problem for awhile.
Happy 2012!
I spent the first 2 days of the new year sleeping until noon, eating, and then watching tv and napping again.
Clearly, the “be healthy” lifestyle change (not resolution) started today- with the exception of getting a lot of rest.
Things I’m looking forward to in the coming weeks:
Planning vacations. I have no official work holidays between now and Memorial Day- and that makes...

Weekend update
I went a little batshit this weekend. It was clearly caused by too much whiskey. I’m lucky my boyfriend didn’t freak out back at me. I (and he is too) am also lucky that this is a once in a blue moon occurrence.
I also broke out in hives last night. I am
fairly sure it’s because my boyfriend’s cat, which I am allergic to but usually don’t react, put it’s...

So, the pilot light on our water heater is out.
And this was discovered at approximately 7 AM.
And since it is winter in Chicago, the idea of taking a freezing cold shower only to go outside into the freezing cold air is just unacceptable.
So, I didn’t shower. Which would be okay, except for that my hair is super straight and if I don’t shower for a day it is a ball of grease.
I know they (they=magazines, people with curly hair)...

chicagored:
Aaaaaaaaaand the man behind me on the train is smoking crack. Literally just lit up on the train. Might be meth as he has no teeth. Again, thank you Breaking Bad and the documentary Meth Mountain for teaching the tools necessary to identify different drug behavior.
Was it this on the Red Line?

To try to change them to fit what you want them to be is like trying to change a dog for a cat, or a cat for a horse. That is a fact. They are what they are; You are what you are.” —Don Miguel Ruiz
Monday not-so-fun Day
I just left a voicemail that was essentially me stuttering because I was so unprepared for the beep.
I am on a legitimate detox until the end of the year (and hopefully I’ll just get in a habit of being a healthy person so I can continue after the year). Salads for lunch!
Also, I figured out what I’m buying my boyfriend for Christmas- but I need to get paid first.
I’m going to...
