Saturday Rewind...on a Sunday

I was totally intending to do this yesterday, but alas, never did.  This is also a rewind for the last 2 weeks since I haven't updated in that long.  Blog fail.

Lows:
-Not running in a week.  Just. Can't. Get. Started. Again. Need. To. Sit. On. Couch. Instead.
-Realizing how soon March is approaching and the fact that we haven't had a single decent snow fall.  WTF.  Winter, you've aced it in some areas but not in others.  Old Man Winter, you're fired.
-Coming across an asian market somewhat nearby and being totally disappointed with their stock :(
-Coming home and finding carpet insulation bits from the cat that has been ripping up almost every corner of our apartment.  That'll be a little hard to explain to the landlord...
-Seeing how friggin cute my little niece is and not being able to see her.  One day!

Highs:
-The BF had the whole last weekend off (which he never does because he works in retail sales).  We had adventures.
-Going to a nearby amish market and eating half our weight in food.  I tell ya, the Pennsylvania Dutch know how to make some delicious noms.  If you ever get the chance to eat a pretzel dog...do it.  There was also a flea market attached and the BF scored a Russian pocket watch.  I say it's a Russian spy watch and that's what I'm sticking with...
-Spending our free time watching the second season of HBO's Game of Thrones.  Which this is one of the reasons I haven't been blogging, that and I was completely lazy and didn't want to put forth any effort.  Priorities people.  Anyway, this show is amazing.  Bottom line.
-Shrinking a pant size, well, with Old Navy jeans at least.  Not sure if their sizing is just different, but doesn't matter, I'm a size smaller, I'll take.  I haven't noticed a visual difference or have even lost that much weight, but like I said, I'll take.  That puts me at 2 sizes closer to what I was at the start of college.  Almost there. 

 

Saturday Rewind

Lows
-Two of the BF's gifts didn't arrive in time for his birthday.  USPS fail.
-Deciding to go to out the morning of the Super Bowl.  Big mistake.  I thought it was Black Friday all over again...except you could call it "Purple and Black Friday," with all the Ravens fans.
-Finding out it can literally rain spiders.  Seriously.  Apparently this phenomena happens in South America.  Having one on my wall makes me run out of the room screaming like a banshee.  Lord help me if I get caught in this situation.
-Coming home craving chocolate eclairs and finding out he ate the last of it.  It was technically his birthday dessert so I couldn't get mad, but, not gonna lie, I was bummed.  That stuff is delicious.

Highs
-Low key 28th birthday for the BF...beard cake and all.
-Running again. First time since October. I've regressed so much, but I've been feeling better after the runs.
-The BF got a haircut and trimmed the beard. He doesn't look as homeless anymore.
-Finished reading The Walking Dead:  The Rise of the Governor.  Just in time for the show to start back up. 
-Ate venison hot dogs for the first time.  Soooo good.
-Finally being able to sleep in on my weekends.  Again, so happy my overtime is over.
-Getting a package from my mom.  They were socks, but I requested them and they still made my day.  It's nice no matter what when you get home and see a package at your door.

Saturday Rewind

Lows
-I wasn't thinking and took a back road to work in the snow.  This said back road is hilly and curvy and shady...not a good combo for snow.  It was one of the scariest drives I've ever had.  Once I realized I was sliding when I braked, I didn't brake anymore.  But other drivers apparently don't have this same logic.  It seems once they realized they were sliding, they braked even harder.  It was getting hit by other cars that scared me the most.  Don't slam on your brakes in the snow and ice!  I know it's instinct, but seriously!  Get off the brakes and just guide your car with the steering wheel and tap on the brakes until you're at the speed you want.  My adrenaline was going for about an hour after I got to work.
-Hoping that the BF's birthday gifts will arrive in the mail on Monday (his birthday btw).  I'm not a procrastinator.  I ordered stuff well ahead of time, it's the companies I ordered from and USPS that's taking their sweet time.
-The cat demanding to get fed anytime between 5-6:30 am, preventing the BF from sleeping in.
-Trying to get groceries and turning around because the roads were getting slick with slush.

Highs
-Finding out I don't have to work overtime anymore, for awhile at least.  The money was nice, but 6:30 am six days a week was getting old.
-Finally watched Ted and loved it! Definitely a must see if you like Family Guy.
-Ant free. Yay.
-Enough snow to where it's pretty outside.
-Chinese take out makes me happy.

Saturday Rewind

Lows for the week

-I work in a small building with one other person.  She's been out for the whole week.  This has left a very quiet work space and me a little lonely...sad face.

-Our ants are back.  We had a little breakout of them a couple of weeks ago that we killed off, but now leftover eggs have hatched.  Hopefully our borax/peanut butter mixture will do the trick.

-Huzzah for it being so cold, eyeballs and gloved hands still sting they're so cold.

-Not working out at all.  I think it's the cold weather that un-motivates me.  All I wanna do is curl up under a blanket.

-Butternut squash risotto.  I attempted to make this.  Never again.  Too much work making the risotto.  Add liquid to the risotto, stir until absorbed, add liquid, stir, repeat like 20 times it seemed.  No thanks. 

-Being considered a "subject matter expert" and not being able to answer someone's question.  

-I'm getting the sniffles and keep sneezing.  I don't know if I'm getting a cold or if it's just dusty.  Either way, it's messy and our tissues are getting low.

-The cat in my face as I eat a bowl of cereal and am writing this entry.  He's pushing my hand as I'm putting the spoon in my mouth in order to spill it.  He's lucky milk hasn't gotten on our new keyboard...yet.

Highs for the week

-I found leather boots that fit over my calves.  My calves are huge.  And I've had the hardest time finding boots that'll go over them.  So needless to say, I'm pretty excited, regardless if anyone cares or not.

-Three day weekends are always nice...even though all I got accomplished was watching Vampire Diaries on Netflix (Don't judge.  Once I watched the first episode, I had to keep watching.).

-Taco Bell's Loaded Grillers.  At 99 cents, I was full for $3.  Kinda hard to do these days.  

-Customer Appreciation Day at our local Dairy Queen/Orange Julius. Everything was half off, so we loaded up on food and got ice cream, despite the below freezing weather. This probably wasn't a good idea since I haven't worked out this week, but it was soooo good and a good deal. And we've never eaten at this location, so it was a mini adventure :)

-Rain-x wiper blades. I got a coupon to get them free during an oil change.  Holy crap!  They are amazing.  You couldn't even tell the windshield was wet.

-Scoring two tickets to a live taping of The Colbert Report in NYC.  Apparently, it's a little hard to get tickets and I just had good timing.
