Young and Innocent.

So today is Thursday, which is a day I usually don't write my own lists.
Therefore, I am going to get this one started, with the hopes that people will add to it.

Today while at the gym I started thinking about songs I sang when I was younger. Songs that I sang without really interpreting the lyrics, or maybe I did, but never really thought about them since after a while songs just become a bunch of words. Now looking back I can't believe I probably sang these while shopping in the grocery store with my parents.

Here's the first song that popped into my head.
What song pops into yours?

1. "Do Me" Bell Biv DeVoe

I would also like to add to this list anything by Samantha Fox.

Switching Things Up.

This weekend I did some things I don't usually do (or don't do often enough).

1. Girls night out, followed by a girls night in!
2. Yoga! I loved it and plan to go again.
3. Tried someplace new for dinner: City Girl Cafe.
4. I played pool and actually did OK.
5. Returned stuff at Target without spending more money.
6. Was kicking butt at Wii golf, only to have the game freeze up.
7. Packed my bag for the gym before going to bed (and actually got up and went).

Now that's a good weekend.

Today will be a good day.

Sometimes your day just starts out right.
I think today is one of those days.

1. Gas was $2.59 this morning, filling up my tank was less than $40!
2. I made it to work in record time, the roads were wide open.
3. The sun just came out.
4. It's Friday.
5. Today for lunch I am getting a veggie sub with lots of pickles!
6. Tonight I'm making a necklace.
7. Thee weekend begins in 8 hours and counting.

So you only get 5 things...

So today is Thursday, I didn't ask anyone to write a list, but Mary happened to anyway.
I love it when things just work out.
You can find her list here!
It's a good one, I'm still thinking about what my list will contain...
Stay tuned, as that may be my list on a future date.
This one will take some thinking though.

'tis the season...

to...
1. sleep with the window open and blankets on.
2. wait for the the leaves to start changing.
3. get ready to go back to school.
4. think about what recipes to use with all the apples that will be picked.
5. start to look back at the year and see what was accomplished so far, and what is still there waiting.

Lunch Oddities.

Ever look around you and wonder about the time trap of people you're surrounded by?
Today's lunch was just that, and boy I wish I had photos to share.

1. The tall awkward semi-mullet sporting guy with his shirt oddly tucked in that was whistling really loud. Not a good whistle though, but more like nails on a chalkboard.
2. The computer geek who I can picture in high-school having long hair, but then got it cut into a style similar to a woman's bob. Just not flattering.
3. This could be my favorite. A commercial van filled with tan shirtless men who look like they're in one of those cheesy calendars that were really popular in the 80's.

Seriously, all this fun in less than five minutes.
I wish lunch was like this every day, but with a camera.

Daydreaming.

Reasons I did not sleep well last night:

1. It was hot out and we didn't put the AC on.
2. The cats were running around like crazy because....
3. A bat got into our bedroom.

Needless to say, after #3 happened I spent the night tossing and turning.
The bat is currently MIA. The cats may have a fun day ahead of them.
I'm just happy I don't get home from work first!

Motivation to Work Out!

Weight loss, muscles, endurance? Sure those are all great reasons to hit the gym, but not necessarily mine!
My reason: My gym seems to play some random music, like really random.
Must be some odd satellite radio station.
Here's just a few songs I've heard while trying to find my waistline.

1. "Rico Suave" Gerardo
2. Rick Astley
3. "The Right Stuff" New Kids on the Block
4. The Spice Girls (prior to their reunion tour announcement)

I guarantee this list will continue to grow. It's just too great to ignore.

Birthday!

My 30th birthday party was this weekend, and it was filled with delicious food!


From front to back:
1. Fresh fruit with your choice of chocolate fondue or cream cheese dip (or both!).
2. Seven layer bars.
3. Delicious pastries.
4. Hidden behind the pastries are homemade ice cream sandwiches.
5. On the green tray, white chocolate cranberry cookies, and adorable bite size brownies.
6. Back left is a bowl of chocolate goodness.
7. And last but certainly not least, the blueberry-lemon-poundcake trifle. Delicious!

Vacation.

Every year my family heads North for a vacation in North Conway.
Here are a few things I tend to do on vacation every year that I don't generally do otherwise.

1. Eat at Burger King. I usually stop there on the drive up for a BK Veggie.
2. Sleep past 8:30.
3. Eat a lot of sweets. Who can pass up Zeb's?
4. Mini golf with the whole family!
5. Blizzards from Dairy Queen.
