Ahhh...

I can finally exhale and relax because it's Friday! Such a stressful week. I crammed so much info in my brain this week that it feels like pudding. All the studying and anxiety paid off though and now I'm ready to kick my feet up.  I think I definitely need to just relax this weekend and throw back a few cold ones. Recipe for success.
What's your weekend plans?

2011- Get off your a**

As February quickly approaches and 2010 becomes even more of the past, I’ve realized that (1) I’m broke and (2) I’m a little out of shape since the holidays. I feel like I am still trying to come up with a game plan, or better yet a life plan, for 2011. I don’t want to think about a resolution, I want to MAKE changes- positive changes. 2010 seemed like it was going to be such a magical year. Two thousand and ten… still sounds important. But personally, not so much. I’m not saying it was a bad year but that “magical thing” I was hoping for didn’t happen. I did have some amazing and unforgettable experiences such as my trip to Italy, new car, new nephew. All treasured events that I would not have changed for anything.

Things you realize as an adult...

1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

Thirsty for more

My #1 obsessed with Christmas present this year came in my stocking. I drink water all day every day, and with tap water being loaded with chemicals and bottled water being super expensive to keep buying and buying, this is the perfect gift. I carry it around like it's my adult baby-bottle.
The CamelBak groove water bottle. I literally haven't put it down since I got it (besides to wash it out daily). The filter lasts 3 months and it's BPA free. Obsessed!

Speak of the devil...

Just as I was hoping for the best for Sandy and karma to kick Jesse's ass, her scum-bag ex just announced he's engaged to Kat Von D. At this point, I'm sure she [Sandra] is just laughing this off, but still, just goes to show his true colors. They are 2 peas in a dirty, dirty pod. Now I really hope her and Ryan make some magic off screen together.

Sandra and Ryan= Best couple ever

So even though the rumors may not be true, I sure wish they were. My favorite actress + sexiest man alive= the perfect couple! I had a feeling ScarJo and Ryan wouldn't last. With their hilarious personalities, wit and charm, Sandra and Ryan are like 2 peas in a pod.
Even though I was beyond flattered when told me and my bf looked like Sandra and Jesse (my bf is way cuter), this is a major upgrade for her from biggest scumbag to sexiest man.  Jesse who? Fingers crossed the rumors come true.

Date night: Friday night laughs

For our date night this weekend, as mentioned earlier, we went to the Improv to see the oh so funny Jo Koy.
The opening act was Orlando Baxter who was hilarious himself. I laughed so hard I almost spit out my drink on the guy in front of me. It was a full house but after we still got to meet and share a drink with the comedians. It was a great night! For those of you who don't know who either of the comics are, I'd highly recommend checking them out and seeing if they will be coming to a city near you.

I'm a junkie...

That’s right, I’ll admit it. I am a reality TV junkie. It’s a very obnoxious addiction, I’m aware. But like a car accident, it’s almost impossible to look away. Everything from Jersey Shore to Real Housewives to Swamp People, I watch them all. Why, I don’t even know. There are far better shows on TV I could be watching and actually benefiting from. But the majority of the reality TV shows, do benefit me by making me realize how lucky I am to NOT be on any of them… 16 and Pregnant for example.

Off the Map- On or off the air?

Did you tune in to watch ABC’s new show, “Off the Map” last night? It was a little better than I expected. The string ray in the foot was pretty disgusting though. I’m not sure why ABC seems to favor doctor shows and why they keep creating more as if there are not enough of them. The show is basically Grey’s Anatomy meets MASH with a dash of a language barrier topped with far better scenic backgrounds.

He so funny

Just got my tickets to go see the hilarious Jo Koy at the Tampa Improv tomorrow night. If you watch Chelsea Lately, you've seen him on there cracking jokes left and right. He sooo funny. I need a good laugh right now. Can't wait!

If you blog it, they will win

Go Seattle!! That's right, Seahawks took it! For all you Nola fans out there, bye bye! 'Hawks just pulled the rug out from under you. We'll be watching the Brees go by now... Go Hawks!
SEATTLE (AP)Matt Hasselbeck threw four touchdown passes and Marshawn Lynch scored on an electrifying 67-yard touchdown run in the final minutes to lead the Seattle Seahawks to an improbable 41-36 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints in the opening round of the playoffs.

Seahawks vs. Saints
Go Hawks! I gotta root for the home team. Even though many (and by many I mean pretty much everyone) may argue that the ‘Hawks don’t stand a chance against the Superbowl champs in tomorrow’s game, there’s still hope. They made it to the playoffs regardless of how pitiful their division was this year.
Match up                              NO|SEA

Resolve to resolve

First week of the New Year… Have you kept up with your resolution thus far? I am progressively working on mine. I really need to go by #3… it’s all mental; Mind over matter.
I got back into the gym this week to try to run off all those cookies I ate over the holidays. So far the motivation is there and taking charge. It seems like LA Fitness gave away some free memberships or something because there was not that many people there last time. And I’m not bashing on anyone, but for the newbies, it’s a great step for you to make it into the gym but you have to actually get on the elliptical, not just stand next to it bopping your head to your iPod. It may appear intimidating at first, but one leg at a time and you’ll be off to a great start. The machine is not going to buck you off. It’s just like walking- left, right, left, right.

Last call for...

Neiman Marcus (aka Needless Mark-up). Although this isn't my primary store for shopping, (if you know me you're probably saying to yourself, "Duh!") I still enjoy a nice stroll thoughout the store pointing out things I wish to one day be able to afford without having to sell any of my organs to the black market. Luckily for the rest of us, they are having a super sale with major mark-DOWNS. Sweet!

Starbucks switch

Being an avid and devoted Starbucks customer for almost 10 years now, (I am from Seattle) I was a little uncertain how I felt about the new logo. I think I like the last one the best by far... Change can be good but looking at the logo's history, I'm cautious to see what will become of it next. Your thoughts?

How redneck's keep it classy...

Got this as a gift from one of my "classy redneck" friends from a quaint little store in Dunedin. I absolutely love this. Very convenient and portable. This can go from the bar to the barn.

New year, new you

I hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year. I know I sure did. Kept it a little more low key this year; I still managed to wake up with a pretty ugly hangover though. I guess it wouldn't be New Year's without one.
I'm not one for resolutions but I find it necessary to try to make positive changes and promises that are worth keeping. Now that Christmas has passed and my oven can finally get a rest from all the baking, it's time to make use of my gym membership again and dust off the ol' treadmill to work off those cookies.
