I'm really thankful for my family and friends.

Still drinking a lot of water. I hate water fountain water, so much.

Things no one wants to hear about in conversation.
exercise, diet.

In the month that I was too busy to go to the gym I still lost 5 pounds without trying...trying really hard not to let that derail my recent gym attendance. Mixing up my workout to keep from getting bored, adding more running on the indoor track because it's going to be good outdoor running weather and I'm excited about that!

March

Keep track of how much water I'm drinking, because I drink more when I do.
Also, maybe I'll try to take my vitamins more often than four days every month.

I have some pretty amazing friends. Pretty and amazing, too! I also have burnt nachos and I don't have enough hours in the day.

I've already neglected my blog...

Oh, hi.

I've recently accepted the fact that I don't do anything on a set schedule. I'm not going to make myself, either. I work different hours every day, eat different amounts at different times, sleep more or less at weird hours, sometimes I go to the gym after work, or on my lunch break. I just remembered to take my vitamins for the first time in a week, and they're not even in my purse, so oh well! (But I do need to take my vitamins. I don't get enough iron. I can feel it after a few days.)

So, don't expect regular blog posts! This works for me, and I think that this is why I'm a generally happy person. Everything is exciting, all the time!

the beginning of a wedding blog.

Oh what, I'm getting married. For serious. To Greg, obviously. We sort of awkwardly fell for each other a few years ago through a series of dates and late nights in the printmaking studios, and we've been living together for a couple years and I'm still totally in love with everything about him. My actual response when he proposed was "of course." He's my best friend, and now my fiance, and I couldn't be happier!

So, I'm going to keep all the sappy stuff and wedding plans off all my social networking and compile it here, so that only the people that are actually interested in all this stuff have to look at it. Yeah, this is going to get really girly and all that stereotypical stuff, but I'm not sorry. I haven't stopped smiling and I don't plan to.



That's our New Year's Eve photo, at the fabulous 1920's party that my friend Liv and I threw. The photo booth was run by the awesome Jamie Betts (http://jamiebettsphoto.com/)


Right now we're looking at the end of May, 2012, third or fourth weekend. That's over 16 months, and I am SO impatient!

I got really nervous when I realized I didn't have my little post-it notes on my trip. I had to use a real notebook.
