This post is just going to be a jumble of monkeys, because
I have a lot to talk about, and none of it flows in a logical pattern.
Here goes nothing:
Weekend Update: I spent the weekend in Savannah with my
girlfriends, it was coooold, but fun to bundle up and wear
boots and scarves that I don't get to whip out too often in FL. We drank
way too much on Friday night, playing drinking games with dice at a
pretty classy bar (but who can say no to free shots and beer? Plus, the company of a
handome Savannanite (made up that word) that one of my girlfriends knew from wayyyyy back
when, he had some funny stories to share), and then all had a rough time
getting out of bed on Saturday, but made it out for lunch (at 2:30)
before our awesome bike pub crawl with Savannah Slow Ride. You ride a
giant 10-person bicycle through the streets of Savannah, and stop at a
few pubs along the way, and get a few history lessons. And you meet a
group of 50-year old women celebrating a 50th birthday by drunkenly
riding around in a carriage screaming about Tim the hot bartender at
Tree House. You better believe we
hauled ass over there to check him out. Verdict: Hot, hottie hot! Yum.
Overall, the bike pub crawl was a great experience, even with our aching
thighs and cold faces! After the pub crawl, we stayed in the warm bar
where the ride started/ended and watched NASCAR. Then we trekked back
downtown in the cold and grabbed some food, then back to the hotel for a
quick nap before venturing back out for a night out. But the bar we
wanted to visit was super crowded, and we didn't feel like dealing with
huge crowds, so we called it a relatively early night. Sunday we slept
in, packed up, and had delicious brunch at Huey's on the river. Then it
was 4 hours back to Orlando, where I unpacked, made chili and grilled
cheese, set off the smoke alarm, watched Parks and Rec and some Full
House and called it a night.
March Goals:
-Blow dry my hair when wearing it straight. I alternate
between flat ironing my hair and curling it for work, but it looks
frizzy and not straight when I straighten it in the morning. I figured
out this weekend how much better it looks if I blow dry it first, then
straighten it. Pretty simple realization, but I am a dummy when it comes
to hair. I shower at night, and sleep on it wet, so it's already frizzy
and fro-ish in the morning, and 5 mins with the flat iron isn't going
to do much good. I need to blow dry at night before I go to sleep (maybe
run a flat iron through it at night) and then hopefully I can do a
quick touch up in the morning, and have sleek, non frizzy hair.
-Keep nails painted. I failed at this in February, my
nails needs to be professionally groomed, they look uneven and ragged,
so no polish job I do myself will ever look good. Hopefully once I get a
manicure, I can maintain the shape and re-polish for the rest of the
month on my own. Spring colors, here I come! And I got a $2 off coupon
for Essie. Score!
-Acquire some spring decor. World Market has the cutest
spring stuff, I want some table decorations, towels, and maybe some
cheery plates and mugs to add to the collection of stuff I need to be a
grown up ;) Right now the collection consists of a set og drinking
glasses and one pan....
-Run more. I have an 11k in April, and I would like to be prepared for it, as I haven't raced this distance before.
-Finish book, and read 2 more. Book club will take care of
one, and I just got great deals on a bunch more, so I need to read up!
Pet Peeves: I tend to be easily irriated by certain habits
ie: an annoying laugh (ahem coworker), a strange tic etc. and at
certain times things will irritate me more than normal. This week it's
the mispronunciation of words. It's a sandwich, not a sand-widge. Please
and thank you. Don't get me started on your, you're and their, there
and they're. I am the daughter of an english teacher, nothing drives me
more nuts!
Randomness: This might make an encore appearance for What
I'm Loving Wednesday, but it deserves some attention today: My love for
Aaron Tveit, better known as Enjolras in Les Mis (or not known at all if
you haven't seen the movie....#nerdalert). I loved him in the movie, but that love
was taken to a whole new level after the Les Mis cast's Oscar
performance when he strode in behind Samantha Barks like he owned the
whole damn room! Plus his singing voice is amazing, and I watch the
performance at least three times per day, he is that good (they all are). The whole
performance still gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up. He made one gorgeous
French Revolutionary, and looks phenom in a suit! As do Hugh Jackman,
Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen and Russell Crowe!
Man Candy Monday. Yum!
