My two new favorites are total polar opposites...but I guess both equally represent my ever-changing moods.
Joshua Radin (isn't he so hot??): Sky, Friend Like You, Brand New Day, They Bring Me to You, Vegetable Car (I mean, how can you not like a song with this title??).
Lady GaGa favorites: Just Dance (of course), Poker Face (album and acoustic versions), Starstruck, Love Game, and Paper Gangsta.
One of my new interests these days is using the website www.thedailyplate.com. It's a section of the livestrong website, and it's super helpful when it comes to keeping track of your food intake and exercise. You can join support groups and accept/give dares for a variety of topics. I love it because I think I had been in denial about how many calories I was consuming each day. They even give you a breakdown of the protein, fats, and carbs you've eaten throughout the day! You can input your height, weight, age, and weekly weightloss goals and it will tell you how many calories per day you need to consume in order to accomplish your goals. It's splactacular!
It's been waaay too long since I've posted anything here, so I've come back to ask for forgiveness! I've also decided to make a post about all of the things that bring me joy. I'm not feeling particularly in need of organization today, so I'm not ranking or categorizing anything...and here it is: text messages, email, real mail, looking at the ocean just before it rains, coconut oil popcorn, natural light, TV on DVD, pizza from Mellow Mushroom, pulling my blanket up to my neck and sinking into my pillows, smelling the rain as it hits the hot concrete in the summer, Wicked, Edward Cullen, trees with white lights, shiny objects, swirlys, singing acapella, lean bodies, making collages for presents, piano ballads, clever song lyrics, the Tao, when people can get me to laugh at my idiosyncrasies, being able spell idosyncracies correctly on the first try!...but apparently not on the second try, crown molding, snuggly kitties, room temperature water, "the chair," men's cologne, following men wearing good-smelling cologne, inside jokes, prunes, watching people push the wrong side of a glass door, sheets from Ikea, popping a painful zit, bohemian dresses with slouchy boots, child-size t-shirts, sleepy puppies, fudgy brownies with walnuts, Australian/New Zealand and English accents, vacation pay, non-humid weather, chocolate chip cookies made with dark chocolate, saying "Shazam!," sharp cheddar cheese, sitting down in the aisle of a bookstore to read, hairless arms, live music, sitting in the park on a pretty spring day, stevia, Lexus IS 250's, reading a good novel until you're bleary-eyed, quick-wit, well-developed intuition, paradigm shifts, taking the subway, leisurely European mindsets, Christmas music, Love, not conforming, acoustic guitar, finished basements, grilling out with friends, someecards, old southern towns, laughing till it hurts, traveling, not wearing makeup, over-sized sweatpants paired with a fitted tee, not having a schedule to follow Ok, that's enough for now. Hope you enjoyed learning about some of the things I love!
You need to go check out this store! It's the upscale brand within American Eagle Co. So, if you liked American Eagle as a high schooler but don't want to pay the steep prices of Banana Republic or J. Crew, then you need to check out Martin and Osa! It's a relatively new store, so I am trying to help promote it because I know people will absolutely fall in love with the clothes and the style. The website is awesome too because the models on the "shop by outfit" page move around, so you can see how the clothes move! And if you happen to have the chance to visit an actual store, the dressing rooms have buttons you push that will buzz the pagers of the store associates. That means you don't have to peek your head out of your dressing room while you're half naked to yell for an associate's attention to get you another size! Ingenious! Anyway, check them out at www.martinandosa.com
My new hair!! I love it. She even had to use clippers on the back to edge it up properly...I've never had it that short before!
I'm thinking of moving in a more messy, "bohemian" direction with my hair. This style struck my fancy. What do you think?
NaNo is now underway, and I am already behind! It's amazing how people just come out of the woodwork and suddenly your social life explodes with no warning! I'm totally not complaining about having friends though. I love my life, and I am just trying to take everything in. There's a lot going on right now, and my life is hinged upon several big things. I don't want to say much just yet, but you should know that It's time for a change!
