I suck.
I am disappointed. I am so lazy that I can't get over myself to make changes. I did 2 days of 28 for 28..then nothing. One day I was cleaning the house and running around and broke a sweat so I counted that. Yesterday it took me an hour to shovel snow, and I totally counted that because I was sweating, panting, and today I'm quite sore-which means you had a workout right? I'm just so frustrated! The more I watch tv, and thinking about wanting kids, I want to be SKINNY! I hate hate hate all this extra weight. I want to be pretty and wear cute jeans and run and jump and play. At least we're broke and I can't go buy all the chocolate and candy and sugar that I want. Instead I'll have oatmeal with raisins which is a better choice right? Ughhhhhh.

it's GROUNDHOG DAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
Now, re-read the title in your Oprah yelling voice. Much better.
I'm totally ripping off my awesome friend (even though she has some serious flaws with the whole ksu/republican/runningforfun/beingavegan thing...I guess that's why I adore her, because we're 180 degrees different) She reposted from last year on groundhog's day. I posted the day after, and it was lame, but here it goes.
**not too much to report on. the save the dates were mailed yesterday!! hopefully everyone gets them, as i found out when putting them in to the mail box, magnets definitely stick to the metal container of the post office. i'd hate for someone not to get it because it's decorating the westerville, ohio mail box. we are registering at crate and barrel on the 15th, which will be the end of a fun valentine's weekend. friday, the 13th, is josh and i's lucky day and 28 month anniversary of when we met. not sure what we'll do on valentine's day, but whole foods is having a wine tasting which sounds fun!
the sun is finally out, only to start snowing later today again i think. i keep thinking warm thoughts about our wedding day and every possible honeymoon destination.
still haven't resumed dress shopping, maybe the weekend after valentine's we might go. i've been eating really good and have been using the treadmill to walk for at least half an hour every day, some days longer. i'm trying to focus on that one day at a time.**
Kinda crazy reading it back though, wow. Oh, and yesterday was a success on 28 minutes! Today is my day off, and I've been cleaning the house like enough to break a sweat, and took the dog on a walk, but I think I'll get on and watch the first 1/2 of Ellen at least on the treadmill!

28 for 28
I've been thinking about this post for awhile, and when I logged in and realized my last post was "27th Edition" I laughed that I continue with 28.
Tomorrow is February first. Amazing that January is gone already. I like February...it's a short month, there's Valentine's Day, and hopefully more days with sun and higher than 30 degree temperatures.
I thought February would be a perfect month to start a little challenge for myself. I originally thought 30 for 30, but 28 for 28 will be a great start....
To explain: I am trying to commit to 28 minutes on the treadmill for every 28 days of the month. My work schedule also changes tomorrow, so I won't have any excuses to put this off. Needless to say, I'm terrible at the exercise thing, so wish me luck!

27th Edition
Saturday was my 27th birthday. It still sounds crazy to say it. My dad called on Wednesday and said that he was going to be driving here on Friday to spend the weekend with us. I was sooo excited! We haven't seen him since the wedding, and he hasn't been out here for about a year and a half.
We spent my birthday day by going down to Cincinnati/Newport, KY and we went to the aquarium which was amazing! I LOVE aquariums, and I think that's becoming something that I want to go and visit as many as I can! I think I'm at like 7....Anyway, the one in Newport was very beautiful. Awesome exhibits and everything was just so pristine. The jellyfish room was absolutely incredible. Then we went to the Hofbrauhaus for some beer and schnitzel! It is a giant beer hall that is modeled after a 400 year old place in Germany. Totally cool, delicious food, and fun atmosphere. There was a band, and people on tables, and just party atmosphere. We stopped at the big outlets on the way home and did a little shopping. Got some cute clothes and something that I have been wanting for months...there is a kate spade store and I got a new purse! Love love love it!
Got a raise at work, and last night found out I got a new 32 hour a week shift! I have Tuesdays and weekends off. Super excited and bringing some more money home.
Can't believe January is almost over...2010 seems to be looking bright! Unlike Jake's rose ceremony on The Bachelor that is on in the background...

Mega-Venting
Not had a good week....even longer actually.
It started last Friday when I accidentally sent an email to the director of operations at work. Meant to send it to another "Chris" but it ended up in the Ops Managers inbox. Nothing big, just a link to a New York Times story on Haiti. Harmless, I thought, but none the less he forwarded it to my team leader who write me a nice long email about company email policies.
Then I got wasted on Saturday night for the first time in seriously over a year. Had fun, but felt like crap on Sunday. Finally recovered a little bit only to go to a beer tasting and to watch the Big Lebowski. Also fun, but exhausting.
Next, might be TMI, but it's part of why I feel terrible, so it's included. I went off birth control before Christmas. My period finally showed up, and wowwee is my body out of whack. My face has exploded with acne like I had pre-accutane, the cramps and pains are crippling, and this mood swing/crying/emotional melt down is just exhausting. Only positive I've noticed is that my eyelashes are longer. It's true. Maybe a coincidence, but I've totally noticed it.
So then I've been late to work 2 days in a row, which stresses me out. I love my job. I really really do. I love my job so much that I held out for this company when they interviewed me in May but didn't hire me until August. But I'm getting frustrated. I work my little tail off and do it with as much charm and charisma that I can choke down. But I still don't get offered a full time position....or trained on other areas. And today, when I found out the guy who's been there 2 months and hired by a temp agency is getting more hours and got trained on the thing I was told a month ago I couldn't, well, I felt let down. Again.
Then we have facebook. Oh dear sweet baby jesus there is facebook. I had a friend in high school. We lived together in college. She went bible thumping crazy and we stopped talking. Then facebook came around and my mom got cancer and she was nice to me again. But then I got deleted. Because of the word FUCK. I like to cuss a lot, when I'm mad, when I'm excited, I cuss like a motherfucking douchebag asshole of a sailor. And I don't care most of the time. Mainly because most of the time I'm constantly censoring myself for children and when I want to vent, I like to swear it up. big ****FUCKING**** deal. Well, seriously not even a month ago I see a new friend request. I waited two days, and then I said okay, I'll be friends with her again. So tonight when I post on facebook "so fucking crabby..." and get an email from her about how she's deleting me again because of my language. Seriously? I shouldn't have accepted your friend request. Or just hide my profile, or change your settings. Hell, I changed MY settings so that SHE didn't have to read it. Grow the fuck up.
My stupid birthday is Saturday. I hate birthdays. I really hate birthday's since my mom's not here and I can't have an angel food cake. I'd rather just not ever celebrate a birthday. Big deal. We're born, shit happens, we die. I'm not just being period/pissy/pessimist (well, I am) but really, who cares. Lots of people have had stuff happen on their birthdays and they don't like it either. I can pick anyday to eat cake, and if you want to give me a present, do it any time. It would probably feel more special if it wasn't because you had to do it for a birthday anyway.
Praying for the sun to come out and my body to stop hurting and my heart to stop aching....

Whirl
Not much new to report around these parts! We did some puppy-sitting for a few days while my friend went to NYC. Bison had a good time chasing 2 chihuahuas. I've been picking up hours at work, so been busy. And I admit that the only time I get on the computer is to check people.com and see how FarmTown is doing on facebook. Oof. I admitted it....Today is potluck day at work, FOOD! So I gotta go to the grocery store to get all the goods for chili cheese dip! :)
