Attention Readers

I started a different blog over on Tumblr.

Check it out here.

Don't judge that I used the same title for it. I like my title.

I'm going to try to maintain both. But, if that's too much work, I will be focusing on the tumblr one. Thank you and have a nice day.

Workplace Injuries

In an effort to combat the numbness taking over my hands (damn you carpal tunnel!!!) I have raised my chair as high as possible.

Now I can't cross my legs under my desk. There's no room. So I'm doing it anyway and just jamming my knees up against my keyboard shelf thing. But now my feet keep falling asleep and my knees hurt.

This is a sign that I need to get on top of this opening my own bakery thing.

I hope you all get a good laugh when I have to start wearing these stupid wrist braces.

Loving It

Making me happy right now:
  1. Running skirts. I can't wait to wear all of mine again and actually run outside.
  2. Cupcakes. There's just something about a cupcake. Anyone want to go to Baby Cakes this weekend?
  3. TIOWL (Trivia Instead of Work League). Something that Joel introduced me to that entertains me for about 15 minutes of my morning every workday. It's great. And I'm beating Joel, that's even better.
  4. Guys with scruffy beards and a good dose of sarcastic humor. Not describing any particular person, they're just my weakness.
  5. The last song on Britney's new CD. Phonography. It cracks me up every time I hear it. Who doesn't enjoy this lyric: "And I like my bluetooth, buttons comin' loose, I need my hands free, Then I let my mind roam, Playing with my ringtone." Yeah, you love it. Listen here with a silly slideshow.
  6. My embarrassing coffee mug. Yeah, I use it daily at work. My coworkers judge me. Thanks, T!

Teen Angst

Twice I have heard The Get Up Kids on the Buzz this past week. Add in the Ultimate Fakebook reunion concert this Thursday and I feel like I'm back in High School.

Don't worry, I'm not going to start decorating my clothing with safety pins or drawing on my shoes.

Here We Go Again

After much searching and frustration I have finally joined a gym. I am convinced that the gym selection in Kansas City is worse than any city I have lived in before. But, after weighing my options I decided on the YMCA.

Believe me, the outside is much prettier than the inside. And the actual name of this YMCA is the "Paul Henson Family YMCA." Yes, the family word is present. I was obviously short on options.

And so the training begins for the Hospital Hill half marathon on June 6th. This is your official warning as I will no doubt be complaining about every single ache and pain that I encounter. 2 hours 15 minutes is my current goal. We'll see if that has to be adjusted due to injury.

Below is a pic from Woodside Racquet club, the gym that I wanted to join. But, I decided to save $3o a month and spend it on a Netflix subscription and alcohol. Besides, I don't need special tasty water and attractive people. I'll take the old folks and screaming children at the YMCA. Damn it.

I Should Send More Packages

Just See It

Saw Slumdog Millionaire last night. It was amazing and I highly recommend it. Even better than I thought it would be.

And please, sit through the credits. Danny Boyle is after my heart.
