Weekend moving...

The Fray concert was great...in case anyone was wondering. I have some photos from sitting pretty far away and behind two trees that I will post later, as soon as I can find the cable that connects my camera to my computer, and I also have some nice pictures of Dana and Noel. Those pics turned out far better than the ones of the band, but maybe that was due to proximity, or simply to their beauty ;)

Well, this weekend I spent hours at my mother's house helping her pack up all of her little treasures so that she can move into her new home! She is so excited, and I am so excited for her! If I had pictures of the house I would post them, because I know that there are some online, but alas I cannot find them. Needless to say it's adorable and I can't wait for her to be completely settled.

Hopefully I will post something more fun later...

Concert time!

Ok, so I forgot to use my morning break to write an entry, but hey, I didn't forget for the entire day - that should be worth something.

Tonight I'm going to see The Fray at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre at Regency Park in Cary, wooo! I really like these guys and have been obsessively listening to their music every chance that I've had, and now I get to see them play it, just for me! (and several hundred or thousand other people...but they just don't count)








I don't think that you can listen to these guys and not like them just a little...ok, perhaps that is stretching it, but I love them!

The idea is that I'm going with a group of friends tonight to see them - I will take my camera with me! and you will get to see the fun and amazingness of going to this concert sometime in the near future. Are you prepared for the greatness? for the excitement? for the wonder that is The Fray? Well, I've given you ample time to prepare. Use it.

WOOO!!

Hilarious NY sketch group

This is a video by a sketch group out of New York called A Week of Kindness. I think I'm going to keep tabs on them for a while. Check them out at www.aweekofkindess.com

Giving up?

Alright, I'm a slacker. I started this blog and have devoted almost no time to it whatsoever. I wonder if I am the sort of person that should have a blog at all. I get excited about something, keep up with it for a while, and then let it drop. Not the best mode of operation for a blogger with any dedication. I want to do better, I want to be a good blogger...I really do. So from now on I'm going to set aside my morning break at work for posting to my blog. You will get something from me every morning Monday through Friday. It might be interesting, it might be boring, it might be a complete waste of time, but there will be some little tidbit from my world view for you to delve into. Get what you can from it and run from the insanity of the rest.

Moving pains...

So I haven't posted anything in a little while because of being distracted by the drama created through changing offices at work. I want to say more about it, and I was prepared to rant about the condition of our new office space, but I just lost momentum...I'll try again later.

Thinking thin, while feeling fat

So I keep seeing this Target commercial, do you know the one I'm talking about?



Well, the thing is that I want the black bathing suit in this commercial. The problem is that I'm slightly overweight...ok, more than slightly, I'm obese by normal standards that say someone my height - 5'5", body type - medium, and age - 25, should be from 132-144. Obese means that you are 20% over the recommended average, therefore I am obese, yay. To look at me you wouldn't think so, and my mom always said, "Oh, you're just big boned." Ha, big boned? What, the fat hanging on my bones really isn't the problem? Wow, I've been thinking about this all the wrong way, whew, I'm not fat, just big boned.

Anyway, I want the bathing suit so I thought I would go to Target and try it on. Well, it has been popular, great, none left in the store. So I went online and there it was, yay. But then I couldn't decide what size to get, a Large or an X-Large. I thought I would get them both and see which one worked and which one didn't and just return one. Well, I waited one day too long to order it, and the X-Large is now out of stock...great. Not only that, but I thought I should look at their sizing chart to see what size they recommend that I get. As it turns out the bathing suit falls into the Juniors category where everything seems to come two sizes smaller than it should. I now think I might have trouble fitting into the X-Large even if I could get it....

What is up with sizes these days anyway? Just because my hips are wide doesn't mean that my chest is huge. Maybe I won't look ridiculous in this swim suit if I can ever get it, but my hopes aren't too high...you can't avoid being fat and disappointed most of the time, but why set myself up for further humiliation by raising my hopes.

Lazy...

I have been so lazy of late. That and I'm exhausted from staying up all night for two nights of the last three. And yes, that is my fault, I could have been responsible and said wow, it's past midnight, or wow, it's three a.m., or wow, it's six in the morning...I need to get some sleep. But no, I am apparently not that responsible when it comes to sleep on the weekend. It seems fine to stay up until all hours on the weekend, I mean everyone works hard for their weekend time of no responsibility. However, I have no excuse for not exerting more wisdom when it is a Monday night and I stay up until 4:30 in the morning and then have to be to work at 7. There can be no illusion that Monday nights are somehow an extension of the weekend, it is the first night of the work week, and while doing fun activities can make it seem like a better week day, it is a terrible idea to have these activities last into Tuesday. Do I regret what I did while staying up all night Monday night? Absolutely not, but my body is cursing me for my lack of forethought, even though I blame it completely for my staying up in the first place. Sigh...

This makes me wonder if any one can control at will their ability to get a second wind or somehow control how hyperactive they get after staying up even a little past their normal bedtime. I just need more self control in general I guess.
