Bye bye bye

Well, well, well... It's almost Wednesday.

Today was an okay day. There's not a whole lot to say about it, but it was pretty okay. I got up at the crack of dawn to get to work early as planned. I arrived at work at about 10 after 7:00 a.m., which is even earlier than usual. Right as I got out of my car, it hit me that I might not be able to get into the building. I'd forgotten that I switched to a very small purse over the weekend because of the concert. I'd still been carrying that small purse because it only had necessities. However, I realized right as I got out of the car that I wouldn't have my access card which is a problem when you're the first person at work. So, I did a lap around the building hoping that maybe someone would show up or that maybe someone from facilities was inside. No luck. So instead I went to Starbucks and got my new favorite - Iced White Chocolate Mocha latte. It was the silver lining!

I had a meeting today to discuss my unpredictable workload, so hopefully something good comes of that. I also saw my boss and her brand new baby. He was extremely cute. He is a thin little guy and has a very expressive face. I also got to have a miniature heart-to-heart with her, which was good and bad. Ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh.

My friend KQ and I went to Willy's for lunch, which was awesome. I really enjoyed that. Food is so good when I'm feeling kind of rough emotionally. It was nice to get away and catch up with KQ for a bit... and talk about this upcoming weekend's adventures together, which include a wedding and Dierks Bentley.

I came home from work at the time I'd planned, even though I got into the building late. I just dodged the traffic and worked from home for the remainder of the time so that I could have my Tuesday night like usual...

I visited the gym again and got in a good workout. I did a combination of the treadmill and the elliptical. I also lifted some weights at home and I have a pretty good feeling I'll be sore tomorrow. I'm a little sore today, so that's good; that means PROGRESS! It really does feel great to exercise. I am so glad I'm making a conscious effort to get back on track with it. Now I've just gotta maintain and keep making it a priority.

Well, today I feel a bit better. My face has been feeling tired like it's something allergy-related. I'm not sure, though. I've been vesting like a champion in order to hopefully kick whatever it is that might be bringing me down. It definitely doesn't feel like I'm getting worse, so that's good.

I have my study appointment at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday. Did I mention that a journalist is coming to my appointment to photograph me? Barring that there aren't any issues with him being there, he's going to get some images of me in a clinical setting. I met him at the walk and he is a photojournalist. I'm probably more excited about that than I should be... narcissistic fibrosis. Bring on the vanilla!

Off to bed I go. I'm telecommuting tomorrow and hopefully finishing the ceiling fan project.

And then you're on your very first date

So, are there ever song lyrics that you sing wrong every single time? You know that they're wrong, but you can't seem to stop singing what you once accidentally thought they were... Well, that's how I am with a line in Taylor Swift's song "Fifteen." It's the lyric that says, "And then you're on your very first date and he's got a car." For some reason, every time I say "and he's got a gun." It makes the song better, really. "And then you're on your very first date and he's got a gun." Oooh, what happens next?

Well, what a week it was... and I can't believe a new one is starting.

On Tuesday I went to work and then came home and watched Georgia Tech lose and disappoint me. I mean, they just didn't seem to have considered the fact that the other team had almost six weeks to prepare for their offense. Anyway, it was pretty upsetting, but oh well. I had a good time watching it, mainly because I ate some jalapeno poppers.

Wednesday I had improv, but we had a work call rather than rehearsing. So, I carried some stuff around that ended up irritating my first rib. It was also absolutely freezing outside, so that didn't help my cause. I was glad to get home relatively early, though, because I wanted a good night's sleep for my first apprentice show on Thursday.

I woke up Thursday super-excited about my show. However, as the day progressed and the talk of wintry weather increased, I began to worry that my show might get canceled. Well, I didn't have to worry too long because it was indeed called off. So, I came home from work and my roommate and I went to get ice cream at the grocery store as it was beginning to snow. It ended up snowing a decent amount and freezing over, so that makes everyone in Atlanta lose their minds.

Friday work was canceled due to the snow, so that was a nice perk. I pretty much had a lazy day until it was time to go work at the theatre. Claire and I met for El Toro before my shift. Then, we went to the shoe store and I got some cute plaid boots. I was surprised at the size of the crowd at the theatre on Friday considering the slick mess outside.

Last night, I went to a going away party for a friend that's moving to Israel for an intensive Arabic study. It was a lot of fun and I'm going to miss her, but I admire her so much for following her passion. We ended up staying out until almost 3:00 a.m. PARTAY! A server told me I looked like Lo from The Hills. I have also been told I look like Kristen and Lauren from The Hills, so I'm confused.

Finally, today - I had about 300 pictures taken of me, so that was fun. One of my friends from work enjoys photography and I just so happen to need a headshot for improv, so I stood out smiling in the freezing cold. It was pretty fun!

I'm hoping to spend the remainder of my day working on my book, but I wanted to update my blog before I got started on that. Or else I would use it as a reason not to be focused. I can't wait to enjoy the lazy rest of my day!
