Worst blogger oh-ten.

My gawd, I'm the worst blogger. I seriously can't keep up unless it's in my face 24/7.

Anyhow, not too much has happened since my last banter post. I love going back and reading all of my old posts and just shaking my head at all of the ridiculous things I wrote and the whole "hindsight is 20/20" thing.

I did start school again, and I think it's the best idea I've had in a long time. I'm actually proud of myself and how focused I've been. It's also really weird to be back in the UMHB bubble. Everyone seems so young and innocent compared to myself. I guess I just see it that way because of all of the things I've been through/done in the last few years away from the school environment. I did hear some good advice, as far as that goes, the other day ("No one knows what you've been though and done and it's your choice to give them the knowledge of yourself outside of this place"). I was also told not to date UMHB guys, but that's a whole different situation...

Work has really picked up, clientele wise, but I still REALLY want to start an "Overheard at the Temple Mall" blog. I hear the most idiotic things come out of people's mouths every day and I just want everyone else to hear what I have to deal with every day.

Of course, this is all I can think to write for the time being. My brain is so fried from school/work today that I can't believe I'm even still awake right now. I'm definitely sleeping in until 10 tomorrow. Wild!

Picture of the day:

You're welcome.

It's been quite a while since I last updated, but I've been really busy! Work has been going good, same ol same ol. I talked with my district manager today and I'm going to be moved up to full-time status and will finally be eligible for health benefits! I'm so excited so actually have insurance again. I don't get sick very often, but when I do I need to go to the doctor.

I've kinda bent one of my "focus on self" rules, but it's been totally worth it! I've been dating a really great guy for about a month.

I love the cold weather, but OMG it's freezing in my bathroom!

Sorry, lame post today...

Thirsty Thursday

I have had entirely too much on my mind lately and not one minute to just sit and think. Finally, tonight, I was able to get some thinking time in.

First off, I don't know what my deal is with mankind lately. I used to be that girl that would go for any guy that gave me attention. Now I'm on the entirely opposite side of the spectrum! I am so goddamn picky now! Even little things can competely make me want to run for the hills until a cuter boy comes along. It's blowing my mind! I think since I have been single since June, I've had all this time to think about EXACTLY what I want in a guy. It's probably a good thing. What is up with me?!

On another note, I've realized that I need a job where I am either travelling or doing something different every day. Are there any jobs that require a cosmo license and a bachelors degree? If so, gimme. Seriously though, I love change too much to be sitting behind a desk, pencil pushing to the same beat every day.

Today was a good day, actually. I woke up a little later than planned, thanks to my new habit of taking Tylenol PM to fall asleep. After waking up I immediately put some clothes on and went for a nice long walk around the neighborhood. The Lady Gaga pandora radio station made it even enjoyable along with the fall foliage. As soon as I got back I hopped into a freezing cold shower, which I might add is great for my fried hair's healing process. The walk and cold shower really made me ready for the day. I tried my Boca bruschetta patties and, hot damn, they rule! Especially with some hummus. Delish. Anyway, I had to finish my Destination Truth marathon that recorded so I could free up some space on the DVR...and because I love that show! Work was great; I had a surprise appointment with Ana! Totally made my day and also helped pass the time. I couldn't believe how late it was when she left but her hair looked fantastic! Hope you love it, Ms. Clonts!!

Anywho, I'm trying real hard to fall asleep au natural tonight so I've got the Devendra Banhart pandora station going on the iPhone as I type. I hope everyone's week is going well!

Ciao bellas.

Mass chaos in my boring life

Work has been making my crazy. Honestly these last few days I've just been going on, doing my job, and getting the fuck out without trying not to scream at certain people. I feel like I'm on a completely different intellectual plane than anyone else in there. Pathetic. That's why I'm so ready to get back into school so I can get a big girl job.
On that note, I'm ready to go back to Austin. I miss my freedom. I know that I need to get my plans taken care of for the next year before I actually get to moving back. I'm driving in tomorrow and I'm gonna make a list of what I need to do:
- Car registration/inspection
-See Mom
-Visit Sarah at school
-Grocery shopping at Natural Grocer (they are WAY cheaper than HEB, which is weird)
-Maybe a little trip for myself to Buffalo Exchange or Urban Outfitters

Well, now that I've bored everyone..that's all! Time to get ready for work...lame.

Ciao luffs.

Monday Funday

First things first, this veganism rules. I lost 4 lbs in 4 days, but I haven't checked in 2 days, so hopefully I'm up to 6! My body feels SO much better, as well. I've been discovering so many different foods and ways to make them. I've got an Amy's Vegan Pizza in the oven now cooking for work.
We had our Halloween party this weekend and I'm so glad I got to see some really good people...
I can't even think of anything else to update about..I'm boring!

They don't love you like I love you...

I've been lacking SO much lately! For the last few days I've been trying to put in more hours than I'm supposed to be since I've been getting bigger paychecks, which now actually ALMOST covers most of my bills. Also, I have an interview tomorrow for a job I REALLY want! We'll see what happens tomorrow...
Work has been SO damn slow lately. There were a few days last week that I didn't have ONE single client. I mean seriously, I worked on more clients as an apprentice at the spa than I have now that I've gotten my license. I think I'll feel better about it once I start going back to school, which I'm so ready for. The area creative director for Regis asked me if I was going to keep doing hair after I got my degree and honestly I'm not sure. Right now I just need to do what's financially responsible for myself; Regis is definitely not cutting it right now.

As far as my new vegan diet goes, I've been so far so good for 3 days. Now I'm onto day #4 and it really hasn't been that hard. I think it makes it easier since I've been feeling so much better for these past few days. The only problem I'm having is cutting out caffeine completely. I think I just need to completely get away from it instead of trying to ease off it. Hopefully I'll be seeing some good things on the scale pretty soon. I honestly can't believe how much weight I've put on since moving back to TX, it's depressing. Soon enough, though, it plus more will be gone.

I've also been cooking a lot more for myself. This last week I've made vegan zesty black bean soup and vegan tofu friend rice. Also, I've been on my steady snack regimen of apples, bananas, and grapes. POM white tea has been making my day and the new 50 calorie Odwalla Lemonade roolz.

Well, I've got to get heading off to another possibly boring day at work. Ciao lambs.

10 more days!

I will be going on a Vegan diet on November 1st, starting out with the span of a month. Since November 1st is National Vegan Day I figured that'd be a perfect time to start.
This weekend I'm going to go grocery shopping at Whole Foods or Central Market in Austin for all of the vegan groceries I can handle.
I'm super excited about this. I can't wait to see what kind of results I'll get out of it weight and health wise.
Anyway I just wanted to make a little update.
Ciao!
