Day 30 December 31 Day Challenge
Day 30: Getting in a good workout… especially on December 30th with temps in the 60s.
(In contrast to tomorrow which will be in the 30s, and icy! Great weather to see Ultimate Fakebook play in Aggieville for the Little Apple Ball Drop!)
Bonus: Cute police officer pulled over three people during my two miles, and smiled at me every time I passed him. I’m such a sucker for guys in...

This is slightly terrifying. They look like horrible imported knockoffs!
Score!
Oreos in the vending machine.
Granted I will now have bits of cookie in my teeth for the rest of the afternoon, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.
Day 29 December 31 Day Challenge
Day 29: This one is girlie, I apologize. Freshly washed sheets PLUS freshly shaven legs.
Just for contrast - feelings that make you a...
Woke up this morning at 4:45 to the alarm clock. I heard the shower go on. I was still in quite a Benedryl stupor so I fell back asleep quickly. Woke up to my shoulder being kissed, passed back out.
Crawled out of bed at 7:35. I need to work on that. Got dressed, did something to the mop of hair on my head, came back to grab my glasses from the nightstand, only to find them in the middle of the...
Days 23-28 December 31 Days Challenge
I got really behind on this. I didn’t even bust out my laptop while I was at home for the holiday.
Day 23: Finding the perfect gift for someone, knowing they will LOVE it.
Day 24: Coming home at the holidays to see family and friends you have not seen in a while.
Day 25: Still holding onto that belief that Santa Claus is real.
Day 26: Holiday food hangover. Leftovers.. so… good.....
Moms and wives of the world:
I am neither a wife nor a mom, but I’m starting to understand what you all go through before holidays (hell, possibly on any given day). I shouldn’t even be typing this - I should be packing up to head home after work. All I know is that the bf fell asleep finally around 10:30, and I was up until nearly 2am finishing his present. I then was up at 6 in order to wrap said present (as...
Slow day at work... again.
I spent the last 20 minutes coming up with what my roller derby name would be. All my top choices have been taken. I’m still going to come up with a totally awesome one though.

Day 22 December 31 Day Challenge
Day 22: Finding you have more money in your bank account than you thought you had because you thought your bills had not yet gone through.
Apparently I can’t read my bank statement some days.

Why is it...
… that I always feel extra pressure to post only awesome things suddenly when I get new followers? (Hello!)
Something to work on for the coming year: be more fearless, and not worry about failure. Failure is just a step toward success, right?

Day 21 December 31 Day Challenge
Day 21: Knowing there are people out there that care about you. Sometimes we take for granted knowing there are some people out there who generally care, but those moments where we genuinely need that shoulder to lean/cry on, hands to help build us back up, or even just a smile to lift spirits… Realizing that support is there is an amazing feeling.

Days 18-20 December 31 Day Challenge
I told you I sucked at this whole daily thing. In fact, the same three days I also forgot to take my vitamins. I’ve been a bit preoccupied though. I blame the season.
Day 18: Petting.. pets. Cats, dogs, hedgehogs (only if they’re nice. Mine was not.), birds, horses, whatever companions you’ve got. (Or if you’re watching Get Him to the Greek… a furry wall.
Day 19:...
WatchMy Pummelvision - every photo I have uploaded into flickr… sadly they weren’t uploaded in order but it is very fun to see all of my photos zip by like this. And a little weird.
RIP Captain Beefheart
You will be missed.

Days 16-17 December 31 Day Challenge
Day 16: First kisses. Just that electric feeling of butterflies, the heart pounding, and the seemingly magnetic pull to another person. (Bonus points if it is a good kiss!)
Day 17: Realizing there are only three more hours until the weekend begins. YES.

I don’t think I need to add anything further. Just watch it.
Second best news of the day...
NOODLES & CO IS COMING TO MANHATTAN.
So. Ridiculously. Happy. Today.
And my bosses are letting me leave early, EVEN BETTER!
I’m possibly laughing slightly like an institutionalized patient at the moment. I apologize.

Day 15 December 31 Day Challenge
It is starting to get difficult coming up with some of these.
Day 15: Getting home from work, and changing out of your stuffy, uptight work clothes into comfy sweatpants and a tshirt (regardless of how unattractive this may sound)!

Day 14 December 31 Day Challenge
Day 14: Getting your hands on that ultra rare vinyl you want.
Okay so maybe that was one of the high points for me today. But it is still one of the greatest feelings in the world to me!

What do you want to know?
I’ve never done this, but it could be interesting.
Have any questions for me? You should just ask!

Day 13 December 31 Day Challenge
I seem to be running 5 minutes behind on these.
Day 13: Finding money in the pocket of your coat or in a bag you haven’t worn in a while.
WatchI find it completely weird that I am at this bar once a week… and Nolan (the one with glasses and the beard) is a good friend of mine.

Day 12 December 31 Day Challenge
I’m a few minutes late on this one.
Day 12: The moment your head hits your pillow after a long day of physical labor.
I’ve been up since 8am kiddos, I’m heading to bed. In the bedroom. Since I just moved my rig into what will become my office.
G’night! x
Oh man, Dexter!
Seriously? I cried.
And now I have to wait nearly 3/4 of a year again? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Must find another series to get hooked on, I suppose.
And now, I wait.
Must. Be. Patient. Until I get my grubby little hands on the last episode of Dexter.
Geebus.
One more ep before the finale and I am still saying:
Holy. Crap.
edit: also: WTF?
Getting caught up on Dexter
Have two more episodes before the finale tonight. I only have these words after watching “Teenage Wasteland”:
Holy. Crap.
Sunday morning oddities
Probably the closest thing I have to a best friend in the world (hard to explain this one- while the friend being a guy isn’t weird, or the fact he just moved across the country isn’t weird, the fact he is married makes it that way) and I this morning have been exchanging headshots of our epic bed heads.
Should I thirst for knowledge Can I beg you for some water Should I fight your battles Can I rest upon your shoulders I hope I’m able to ride out this storm So come on Gabriel and blow your horn Reach, reach out to me Can’t you see I need you to save me Yeah, reach, reach out to me Can’t you see I need you to hold me Should I beg for mercy Can I be the one you treasure...

Other awesome things.
I try not to curse too much (I work in IT, it comes with the territory, I’m sorry.)… but
