Gross

Today I have eaten:

15 or so hershey kisses
1 banana
4 mandarin oranges
1 vending machine size bag of Cool Ranch Doritos

I'm going for a walk/starbucks run with LP shortly and I am dying for a slice of frosted gingerbread loaf and a hot chocolate with whipped cream.

I'll probably end up going out with Shell to drink beer and eat bar food tonight.

I thought about going to the gym. But I probably won't.

I am gross.

UPDATE: I had 1/2 a cookie and tea at starbucks. I limited myself to just one beer and made pasta at home. And best of all, I did make a quick stop at the gym. I made a deal with myself - run one mile under 8:30 and then you can go home. I ran it in 8:28 and was outta there in a flash.

I am only partial gross.

It's Over

Spring Break that is, cuz we started classes two weeks ago. Time to face reality and get off this extended 4 week vacation. I need to buy some notebooks and binders. Do some homework. Get my life organized.

No more staying up past midnight. No more sleeping in till 10. No more pints of beer in the middle of the afternoon (how about just late afternoon?).

I gotta work now so when the sun comes out I can play!

But damn - I love student life!

lazy weekend

Surprisingly enough, the last weekend before finals was rather relaxing.

Thursday was Girls Movie Club – it was just a small gathering and we watched the recent Oscar winner (foreign film) The Lives of Others. It was good, it was sad. But I have to say that I didn’t exactly find it gripping. Crazy to think though that this went on within our lifetime.

Friday I made it downtown for the first time in ages! I picked up some new makeup at Nordstrom and conditioner at my hair salon before meeting Laura for dinner. We then met up with Shell, who bought me a super cute pair of Vans (slip-ons, black with dark pink, light pink, and white polka dots) as a belated Christmas/birthday gift. We went to another movie, this time a bit more light-hearted: Because I Said So. So… I didn’t have any super high expectations, and it still sorts sucked. I thought Diane Keaton was soooo annoying. At one point I just wanted to slap her to get her to shut up. I thought Mandy Moore looked so cute though – I love her!!

Saturday I had an early soccer game on a soggy, muddy field. We lost – boo! I then headed over to a new sports bar in my old neighborhood (which served PBR tallboys wrapped in a paperbag – sweet! I love PBR!) to watch the Villanova/Syracuse game. As always, they tried to throw it away in the last few minutes, but thankfully managed to hang on for the win. I stopped by a local crafts store to pick up some card-making supplies and then napped away the afternoon – so enjoyable. The Boy and I celebrated a belated Valentine’s Day dinner at McCormick&Schmicks. It was so yummy – we ended up sharing breaded cajun catfish and dungeness crab stuffed salmon. Stuffed, we came home and watched My Cousin Vinny, which I have to admit I’ve never seen before. Unlike last weekend’s attempt at a movie, where I fell asleep 10 minutes into The Departed, I actually watched the whole thing, before falling asleep during SouthPark.

Sunday I did, unfortunately, spend the entire day at school, but the work I did put me in a pretty good position for the rest of the week. I’m taking it pretty easy while everyone else is slaving away.

The goal for the rest of the week is to finish my policy paper and do some work on my research so I don’t have to do a thing over the weekend. Just the thought of that is heaven!

Lazy Randomness

I am. I can't help it. Today, after hours of lying on the couch, shifting between napping and watching tv, The Boy said to me "how can 2 highly motivated and active people be so lazy when they get together?" I have no answer.

I have no motivation to blog, but I thought I'd at least pop in and let you know I am alive and well. Something (school related) I've been dreading is coming up this week, so hopefully once that is finished, I'll be back to my usual self.
