27...

Today was a day of very mixed emotions.

I traded work shifts with a co-worker so I worked the morning shift today. It wasn't bad but I wasn't used to waking up that early. I was wiped out.

I got lots of birthday wishes via email and Facebook plus a bunch of snail mail cards.

A co-worker bought my lunch today since it was my birthday, so that was awesome. I had a really delicious baked potato with broccoli and cheese. Yummy!

I got my period at work this afternoon (which sucked butt) so I had terrible cramps.

E took the bus home from work since he got done a half hour before me and I had to drive in the pouring rain and fog and got run off the road twice. Once by a giant a-hole in an SUV talking on his cell phone. I saw that he started to move over when I was along side of him so I laid on the horn and sped up to move past him. He didn't even realize I was there until I was all the way over on the shoulder/in the exit lane he was trying to take. The 2nd one was some idiot smoking a joint that decided to change lanes by rapidly jerking his car over in my lane.

E took me out to dinner at Twin City Grill. I got the surf and turf. The salmon was good but the filet was disgusting. Luckily E liked it and traded some of his steak for mine. I also got some delicious mashed potatoes and a giant piece of cheesecake.

When E and I got home we watched some shows from the DVR. I was hoping to finally watch Twilight (which I got on Blueray as a birthday gift) but that was a no go.

All things said and done it was a pretty good birthday.

I am taking a half day on Friday and going out for sushi with my friends on Saturday. We are going to play some board games and maybe some beer pong afterward. E is also taking me to Whole Foods on Saturday. I love that place.

I am also keeping my fingers crossed for this.

How Cute Is This...

I hope they arrive in time for my birthday party on Saturday. I am still in search of the perfect top to wear, but I think I have one in mind.

Also, if anyone wants an invite to Gilt, Ideeli, Haute Look or RueLaLa just let me a comment with your email address and I will get you one.

Random Thoughts...

I usually don't talk about politics on my blog. I actually try to keep my blog politics free, but today I lost the little bit of respect that I had for the governor of MN. You can read about it here. Now I know that this woman committed a crime, but she served her time and I believe that she has the right to go back to living her life. I also don't think that it is any of Tim Pawlenty's business on where she chooses to do so. Okie dokie, I will step off the soap box now.


Anyway, I need to find a really cute outfit for my birthday party next weekend. A small group of friends and I are going to my favorite sushi place for Happy Hour and then back to my place for some Guitar Hero and beer pong. I want something cute to wear out though and I have no idea what to get. I will more than likely wear jeans and some cute ballet flats since we will have to walk to the restaurant, but a cute top would be good. I will be in my hometown visiting my parents on Saturday so maybe I can convince my dad that I need to go to the outlet mall : )


This week seems to be going by so slow. I actually thought that yesterday was today. Oops.

In other news, I totally love my iPhone. I found an app on iTunes that is a sushi locator. It will tell me which sushi restaurants are closest to my location. A dream come true. I also downloaded one for Starbucks. Heaven.

Its Official...

I am obsessed with sunglasses. Especially these.





The new Dominiques from Coach. Need.

Gilt was having a sale on sunglasses today but unfortunately the ones I really loved were already sold out. Boo.

Yum...

I had this stuff mixed with some blueberry syrup, walnuts and some dried berries. I am obsessed with Greek yogurt. I am trying a bunch of different combinations of stuff mixed in to be a little bit healthier. I have also tried it with fresh strawberries and strawberry syrup.

Can you all tell that I am really bored right now? I have done 5 loads of laundry, cleaned my room and also made homemade chicken cordon bleu and London broil to take to work for dinners this coming week.

I also figured out how to get my iPhone connected to the web. It was fairly simple, it just took me awhile.

I Wanted...

I Got...

OMG...

I just read that they are making an Arrested Development movie!

Slump...

I am in a slump guys. I had planned to do all of these things this weekend and I ended up doing pretty much nothing. I did go grocery shopping and I did the dishes, but that is about it. I decided not to get sushi last night, I haven't even started doing laundry and the rest of my house is still a mess. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything today either. I really need to get over it and get to doing something.

In other news I am 98% sure that there is another bat in our attic. I want to know where these little mo-fos are coming from. For crying out the window, I find it hard to believe that bats are out and about in the dead of Minnesota winter. I haven't heard it since early yesterday evening though so I am hoping that I scared it back out. Every time I heard the rustling I pounded on the wall to try and scare it away. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it worked.

I am off to make more coffee and actually start cleaning. I hope that once I get started that I get into a groove.

Help...

Does anyone know how to connect to T-Mobile's EDGE network on the iPhone 3G? I am running version 2.2 on the iPhone and for the life of me cannot figure out how to connect to the internet. HELP!!!!!!!

Many thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out.

Long Time No See...

It has been awhile since I last posted huh? Sorry!

E and his buddies went to Florida for our friend TB's bachelor party so I decided to have a little stay-cation and take Friday off and have a long weekend.

Most of my plans revolve around cleaning, but it needs to be done. I have about 2 years worth of laundry to do, plus our house is a mess and just needs a good deep clean.

I am also planning on cooking up a bunch of food to have as leftovers during the week and am more than likely going out for sushi with my friend JB tomorrow.

I had mentioned to him that I was probably going to get sushi takeout this weekend and he offered to go eat with me so I don't have to eat alone. He thinks that sushi tastes better fresh so we can just sit and eat instead of me bringing it home. How sweet is he?

I am also planning on downloading some movies from Comcast. Does anyone have any suggestions? I haven't watched a movie in awhile so I don't even know what is out there.

Etsy...

Recently I have been obsessed with this site! I purchased my Necklush, those super cute wine glasses and yesterday I got this cute poster in the mail.




I think it is going to go in my kitchen in a cute wooden frame. Currently we have postcards of sailboats framed and that really isn't working for me.

Now to completely change the subject. I have been having dreams all week about someone I shouldn't be. It is starting to creep me out. Does this ever happen to you guys? What does it mean!?!?

Man Oh Man...

This week has been interesting to say the least.

I had a phone meeting with bossman about the incident the other day with psycho co-worker.

Psycho co-worker went psycho on me again yesterday.

I got my new iPhone today and prompted to do something stupid and mess it up. Luckily the guy that sold it to me told me what I need to do to fix it. Amazing.

I had a delicious Fillet of Fish from McDonald's today. So yummy.

Is anyone else intrigued by CBS's show Harper Island? I think it looks pretty interesting. I love mysteries.

Ugh...

Work sucked today.

Conspiracy theory guy (remember him)and I got into it because he wouldn't stop talking about his stupid political views and was being very insulting toward another co-worker and I. When I asked him to stop talking about it he became even more insulting.

He told me that he wasn't scared of me and I could report him if I wanted. He said that he had every right to talk about whatever he wanted whenever he wanted.

I ended up sending an email to the bossman (since he is at another office right now) to see how to handle it and to let him know of the situation.

I was so angry that I was shaking.

I ended up bursting into tears as soon as I got home.

I want to call in sick tomorrow. But I won't, because that is running away.

O...Saya...

From Slumdog Millionaire is a great song to run to. Love.it.

I also added a bunch of songs from the Purple Rain Soundtrack, some songs from the new Fray CD and a bunch of Kanye.

I also bought Dark Was the Night. Such a great album.

Running...

Well, NaBloPoMo is over and I made it. It is kind of weird not posting something I want. : ) I have been asked to continue those posts and I am thinking I will do a weekly want post just so it isn't overbearing.

I am going to dedicate the month of my to getting myself in better shape. I have been doing alright on the healthy eating front, but my exercise has been fairly limited. I am going to attempt to run/walk at least 1 mile every day no matter what else I have going on. On the 24th I will turn 27 and I am going to do away with old habits and turn a new leaf.

I am going to try and keep myself accountable by posting my progress here. Wish me luck!

So far my running attempts have made me fee like this.



Hopefully that will change soon.
