This one is random

I haven't posted anything in a while, mostly because I've actually been busy at work. Well... busier. So I decided to post about some of the random happenings since the last entry...

1. I moved into my condo and discovered that a "professional carpet cleaning" does not in fact erase pet and smoke odors. Nor does it get all of the hair out of the carpet... excuse me? I will need to vacuum a few times after you leave to get that hair up? I'll write you up a quote for my services.

2. I got ANOTHER 100 calorie pack that was double stuffed and in case you're wondering what that's like... it's amazing. I notice that it only happens after I have decided to indulge and eat a big dinner when I'm not even hungry to begin with, decide that the 100 calorie pack of Fudge Stripe cookies I've already shoved in my face were just not satisfying, and decide that I'll just have one more little 100 calorie pack then I'm REALLY done eating. I felt like crap for the next few hours but it was sooo worth it, and it's only 100 calories so it's basically healthy.

3. My sister and I decided to start P90X, the workout video that will get you in "the best shape of your life." It was delivered yesterday and after reading the 2 books it comes with, looking at the chart, and seeing what was on each of the 13 videos... we decided that we just weren't quite ready yet. We will be indulging ourselves until Sunday when the torture begins. I hope the new Little Cesar's opens before we start so I can eat my weight in crazy bread one more time....

4. It has been 16 days without TV. I am still alive.... for now.

5. Matt Wertz update - We did not fall in love. Actually, let me re-phrase that. Matt Wertz and I did not fall in love YET! It was bad timing, he's seeing someone and therefore wasn't looking at me with the same appreciation that I was looking at him. Down the road this will be a funny story we tell when people ask how we met. It will go something like this - Matt-"Funny story, we actually met a few times before I realized she was the one for me. She's much smarter than me, so she obviously knew it all along. I'm sooo lucky!" Something along those lines I think.

6. Some friends and I went to the Aerosmith concert and being the hardcore fans we are, we laughed in the face of the weather man who asked us all to go to our cars and wait out the storm (since we were at an outdoor arena). We sat in our tarp, in the rain, for an hour and boy oh boy was Steven Tyler worth it. Of course it stopped raining during the very LAST song of the night. Convenient. PS, Steven Tyler + silver pants + long hair = True Love.

7. I love the summer and the warm weather, but I'm wondering if other people face this dilemma too.... It's hot outside so everyone cranks up the AC inside and once you're in for more than 2 minutes it's freezing! And there you are in your sleeveless top and flip flops feeling like you're sitting in a refrigerator. I tend to bring a jacket with me wherever I go in the summer but I notice I'm the only one, which makes me wonder if I'm abnormally cold or if everyone else is just too stylish to wear a jacket in the summer. At work, I keep my space heater on ALL DAY but the problem is that it's under my desk and therefore only warms my legs while my upper extremities freeze as the AC positioned directly above my desk blows it's arctic breeze my way. Such problems... I know. But even as I type this my fingers feel as though they may fall off. I think those fingerless gloves would be the solution to my problem but I am afraid people will refer to me as "that girl with the fingerless gloves" and nobody will want to be my friend.

8. I can't get enough of the song "Calle Ocho" by Pitbull. I imagine that if I were in a modern version of Footloose, this is the song I would dance to instead of "Separate Ways" by Journey. You know, that part where Kevin Bacon dances out his problems in the abandoned warehouse? Just like that.
