Closing a chapter

I’m moving in less than a week.  I been offered an incredible opportunity at a hotel that I am in love with, and I cannot wait to start working there.  Outside of my professional glee, I’m not 100% sure that this is the right decision for me for my personal life, but there are a lot of reasons why I need to do this.  Over the past 2 years, I’ve come to appreciate the different directions life can take you, and this is just another ride life will take me on.  And I think a little part of me wants to prove that I can be a strong person outside of the umbrella of my family.

 Me and ATC

Last fall I was stressing myself out over where I would end up post graduation, and a professor of mine told me, “you don’t have you make the right decision, you just have to make a decision.”  I don’t think I’ve ever received advice that has stuck with me like this one line.

Although I am returning to a place I have already lived for a brief period of time, I truly feel this will be a new beginning.  I’ve been looking back on my life before this point, and it has been wonderful, amazing, and blessed beyond belief.  I hope it will continue to be the same way, but different because I will be in control.

 Me and Dr. Smith

Over the past two weeks I’ve tried to see as many friends of mine a possible, but there are only so many hours in the day, so if you’re reading this and I didn’t see you know that I love you and I’m sorry I had to go so soon!

True Love

You know what true friendship is?  When you can get a professional bra fitting together.  Getting fondled by the same girl brings people closer, true story.  Also, did you know that I used to be one giant boob?  Well now I have two!  HUZZAH!

So I have many thanks to give on behalf on not just one giant boob, but now two:

  • thank you to Fantasie, for showing me what it means to be lifted and separated
  • thank you Jenn, for being a G
  • thank you to Famous Dave’s, for letting me choose a corn bread muffin as all 4 of my side dishes*

I’ll be moving in a little less than 2 weeks, and where I’m going, I don’t have friends like Jenn to get fondled with.  It’s going to be a sad day.

*This really has less to do with my boobs, and more to do with my love of corn bread muffins.

Interplanetary Travel

About a month ago I traveled down to Florida to visit my dear friend Simona in a little town called Jupiter.

Jupiter has:

  • a beautiful beach with an inlet
  • snowbirds for days
  • a Publix on every corner
  • Admiral’s Cove, a four-star platinum country club that would blow your mind

So if you’re looking to live in another planet, make sure you have sunscreen, are old and retired, can reasonably afford to purchase a home with it’s own dock access, and are willing to pay almost double for your groceries on a regular basis.  Jupiter just might be right for you!

At the gym

biggest-loser-green-teamI have a pretty regular routine when it comes to going to the gym, and most of it is based around television.  I typically pick out what I want to watch, then show up in time to watch in on the treadmill, and stay on until the show is over.  It’s a great motivator to keep going, since I always want to see the end of whatever I’m watching.  And every Tuesday night, I’m watching The Biggest Loser.

There’s just something about working out to other people working out… I don’t know what is is but I love it.  Excuse the insensitivity for a moment, but I think if the real fatties can do it, so can I!

I’ve gotten very into this current season, “Couples.”  My jaw drops every week when Ron is manipulating the entire game at the vote (I’m still sad Kristin left).  Crazy nut!  And let me mention how shockingly short Allison Sweeney’s maternity leave was… what was she gone for, a day?

The live season finale is coming up this Tuesday, and I cannot wait to throw on my workout clothes and head to the gym to watch it.  I’m rooting for Tara.  If Helen wins I’ll be pretty angry, because when she cries I have this reaction like I want to punch her in the face.

The other days of the week you can find me watching:  The Hills, American Idol Results Show, and whatever crappy Real World/Road Rules challenge game they’re doing this month.  But none of those programs are as entertaining while I’m running as The Biggest Loser.  Thanks, Bob!
