Now that that's out of the way, here's what going on with me:
1. I want to move again. My roommates are hermits who hide in their bedrooms and lock ALL the doors at all hours of the day, even when I walk across the street to the gym, leaving me ringing the doorbell to my own home. Mind you, we probably live in THE safest neighborhood in the WORLD. You would think we lived in freaking Baghdad with the security situation over here. There are other reasons, but that's really annoying me lately.
2. My cat is driving me insane. I don't know what's wrong with her. She is so whiny and wakes me up between 5:00-6:00 AM every morning for nothing. She's not hungry, she doesn't want to go outside. She's just bored. And she keeps scratching a corner of carpet by my roommates door frame. Anyone want a cat?
3. Since my running injury, I've gotten quite into spinning in hopes of strengthening my knee without all the impact. I'm loving it right now. I mean, it sucks while I'm doing it, but it's a great workout!
4. Salt and vinegar kettle chips are my new vice. Keep them away from me.
5. I’ve realized this holiday season that I’m much more of a summer holiday kind of person. I mean, I like Christmas and all, but I guess I’m just not as jolly as most this time of year. I prefer the 4th of July (Fireworks! BBQ’s! Temperatures above freezing!).
6. I dyed my hair dark and got bangs. I should post of picture, but I don’t have one. I would take one right now but my bangs are pulled back so you wouldn’t even get the idea. I went in to my salon with the resolve that I would be asking for blunt, straight across bangs. I ended up totally wussing out and left with shorter sidewept bangs. I felt so defeated.
7. Does anyone have any quick breakfast ideas? I’m not a breakfast person, but I’ve tried so very hard to eat it as to avoid popping over to 7-Eleven for a 10:00 AM binge of Diet Coke, S&V chips and a glazed doughnut. Needs to be fast, easy and filling. I don't really enjoy cereal or oatmeal. Go.
8. It’s no news to this blog that I’m particularly fond of a great tan, however I’ve sort of caved to social and medical charges against tanning and have found a great alternative. Enter, Loreal Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self Tanning Mist. It’s phenomenal. Not orange, so easy to apply, and doesn’t have that gross sunless tanning scent that most lotions and sprays do. Plus it’s cheaper than getting a professional sunless tan at a salon. Two days ago I was a frightening paler version of my now slightly tanned-self. Just in time for my company Christmas party tonight. Highly recommended!
9. I need new pillows. My pillows are flat and hard. I like fluffy, yet supportive. I also need a new blow dryer. I've had mine since my freshman year of college and it's about seen it's last days. It's lost its heat control meaning if I'm not careful, I will burn off my hair. The grated filter thing also broke off so my hair gets caught in the fan daily. Clearly this is not helping my split end situation. Also in the market for a new flat iron. Why are flat irons so expensive?!?!? It makes me a little sick to have to spend upwards of $100 for something to flatten my hair. Ridiculous.
10. I miss Dan :(

Ok. Here is what I have to say. First, I used to buy those campbell soup to go things--the tomato was my favorite. I know it sounds weird, but they were hot and easy to suck down on the way to work in the morning. Try them.
Missy has the most awesome blow dryer. Folica.com. It's called sedu. It's $130, but I was shocked at how well it worked. I need it.
Sorry about Dan.
Hi Bri.
I like yogurt. It's easy to eat on the way our the door. Sometimes I put a banana in it or some other type of fruit. Sometimes I get a donut and a soda.
I bought a cheap blowdryer a few months ago and hated it, so I returned it. I like the ionic ones, more expensive but works much better.
Kudos to you for spinning.
Also, are you going to be home for Christmas? I would really like to see you sometime.
Photo of bangs ASAP, please!!
Your roommates would make me scream. Why are people so weird about random things?
Your cat & my son should be friends at 5am & let us sleep.
I want to be a spinner someday. Maybe when I actually exercise again someday. 13 weeks post-partum is still too soon, right? Yes, too soon. Definitely.
Breakfast. I love English muffins. Or protein shakes with bananas made in our magic bullet. Or yogurt + cottage cheese. Or steel cut oatmeal (does that count as oatmeal? crap).
Costco has decent pillows.
And Nordstrom Rack normally sells the Chi straightener, no?
I want to hear more about Missy's blowdryer.
(Playing catch up on your blog, clearly...)
