Here ya go ladies. This was kinda fun. The bonus is that you can getcha some custom-made jeans. I am super-tempted…but they’re $145 - ouch. My last jeans were less than $10 on the clearance rack.
And for the record, I am an A - but from the description, barely. I’m close to an M. I think I’m shaped more like the M model than the A model because I’m not really hippy -...

Am I the only person who think it’s completely normal to go to a restaurant (or a movie theatre, or anywhere really) alone? I do it all the time.
I can’t do it. I’ve done it once at a diner in San Fran. I took a paper so I didn’t look so odd.
about three years ago i spent ten weeks living 3 hours from home in a hotel thanks to a temporary reassignment for...

I managed to fit a satellite radio receiver into my budget for next month. Excitement!! As much time as I spend in my car these days, I’m sick of all my CDs and every local radio station and the lame-ass local commercials. Plus, Sirius isn’t too bad - $6.99 a month for an a la carte plan - whichever 50 stations I want.
So, when I get my next paycheck, I’ma order me one. And...
I love this stuff...thanks Jess!

Your date of conception was on or about 18 November 1980 which was a Tuesday.
(Not true. I was born a full four weeks after my due date. Mom was doing everything she could to get me the hell outta there!)
You were born on a Tuesday under the astrological sign Leo. ...
Big Boy for dinner at 9pm does this
Last night I dreamed that I was on Lost. Then I was on Survivor. And Survivor was set on an island in the middle of the Ohio River. Then we got to take a cruise to Dayton (which is not on the Ohio River.) Then I wasn’t on Survivor anymore; I was on Hell’s Kitchen, and the Dayton trip was something my team had won. Then I totally hooked up with Gordon Ramsay in a hotel room (he had a...
My mom totally called me out for posting the f-bomb on Teresa’s facebook.

Birth control pills give your plasma a greenish tint.
I also did a double red blood cell donation for the first time today. Woot! It made me a little woozier and more tired (that “run over by a truck” feeling) than donating blood the regular way, but some juice, cookies, and a nap later, I feel good. :)
My first full paycheck was direct-deposited today.
It covers two weeks, and it’s 1.5 times what I was paid monthly while putting myself through school.
I’m on cloud 9, and I can’t wait to figure out how I’m going to - responsibly - budget my money now that I have money. :)
dinner
Chicken breasts + catalina dressing + crock pot = NOM.
i just made the most amazing salad:
sleight-of-fate:
baked tostitos scoops
chopped romaine lettuce
boneless, skinless chicken breast stir-fried in minced garlic, louisiana hot sauce, worcestershire sauce, and black pepper
black beans
taco seasoning
sweet red onions
fat-free sour cream
shredded mozzarella cheese
hot salsa
BLISS.
Oh my god. I got on here to talk about my awesome salad!:

Like this. This makes me happy.
I’ve decided that I’m really into alt-country right now. It’s really really good driving music.

It may take a hot minute before I get my 5k down below 35. Oh well. :)
You know you work in the ghetto...
…when you run to the grocery store to get a salad for lunch (plus some frozen entrees to stock the fridge) and there’s a cop standing at the entrance keeping watch.
Also, I got blatantly hit on three times and stared at lots more.
Classic Seinfeld Episode
We were watching the episode where George figures out a way to combine his two loves - food and sex.
Mark: Would you let me eat a pastrami sandwich with mustard while we were having sex?
Me: Only if I can have a bite.
Mark: I love you.

i agreed to a blind date on valentine's day.
sleight-of-fate:
that, in and of itself, may be one of the most spectacular or most stupid decisions i’ve made.
better yet, i’m getting set up on this date through a popular local radio station. yes, ladies and gentlemen, i am going to be “the bachelorette” on central minnesota’s own version of “the dating game for losers who don’t already have a valentine.”
okay, i made up the last,...

your pet dog, horse, rabbit, cat, snake, or naked mole rat is a little extension of you. it may well be that you are buff and tan and muscular and you have a little yappy chihuahua. that’s ok. that’s not what i mean. but who is your dog? what’s his personality? what have you done with your cat? is she friendly? how do you treat her? do you play with your...

I thought maybe I’d hit my next goal of 35 or less today, but my right shin was hating on me like only a shin caught between an overpronating ankle and an incomplete pcl can. I’m icing it now and limiting myself to the eliptical at least until the weekend.
I walked more of it than usual, but my running AND walking speeds are increasing. Not too long ago, a comfy run was 4.5 miles/hour...

New best 5k time. And I stopped to tie my shoe, so I would’ve beat my old time by 1 minute +. Only walked for .25 miles of it, total.
Took all the photos this morning. The outdoor ones were shot from my balcony.
My daily dose of self-esteem
I’ve been feeling a bit chubby lately. Of course, my lack of activity is probably part of that, and I need to work on motivating myself to MOVE more since work isn’t forcing me to. (I also need to give Boy a good kick to get him to start working out with me again.)
However, as an hourglassy size 12-ish myself, these articles absolutely made my day. I want to work out to get fitter and...

Dear Free File Taxpayer: The IRS has rejected your federal return. This means that your return has not been filed. Here’s the reason for the rejection: Error Code 0967: Form 1040/1040A - When Tuition and Fees Deduction of Form 1040/1040A is significant, Form 8917 must be part of the return.
OK, so I’m missing form 8917.
