it's been a long week. and i am extraordinarily tired today, resulting in a grumpy snedapants. so, i thought today would be a really good day to try and focus on the small good things, rather than the general anger towards the world i'm currently rocking. 1. two songs i really like - pink's "sober" and john legend's "green light." i love them, and i've been listened to them constantly today. 2.

1. sunshine. 2. getting up on time this morning, which made me feel more ready to take on the day. 3. making some extra cash. BADLY NEEDED extra cash.4. feeling like i sort of have a handle on things at work.5. being favrd on twitter. it makes me really happy, which is silly. but silly is okay too.

since it's been awhile, i'll stick with the list format, but make some meatier choices. hi friends. sorry i've been away. here are some small things that make me happy today.1) getting out of the city. i got to head down to philly this weekend for a quick 36 hour celebration of the fact that my former boss is old. (40) i got a haircut, saw the momma, the puppa, and some old friends i hadn't seen

it's worth me taking a minute or two to explain to you, internets, how crazy it is that i am running on a treadmill, on a regular basis. to start with, i have always hated running. and treadmills seemingly took away all that i could even fathom liking (scenery, challenges, etc.)so i didn't do treadmills. i did the elliptical, or pretty much anything else i could do to avoid it. but then, when i

1. seeing results from my hard work. it makes forging ahead that much easier, and it's giving me a new found confidence at just the right time.2. knowing that if i wanted to, i could totally finish a triathalon.3. rotisserie chicken.4. sunshine. 5. the promise of what might be...the end

so right now, i'm debating two things. 1) if i should do a triathalon and 2) if i should ask this guy out on a date. as you can imagine, these are both monumental tasks that intimidate me incredibly... the triathalon would require a massive investment of funds and time, and it would make my life complicated. same thing with the date, i guess. also worth noting that if i fail at either, i'll be

today was a bad day, i can't lie to you internets. there was some required heartbreak (a natural part of moving on), and some unnecessary violence. it was a rough day. but it ended well. so i'm sharing that part with you, and not the other part just yet. and now, my attempt to find the good... 1. mike's hard berry. 2. great friends3. an awesome new president.4. a great sister who says just the

i forgot to add that the eagles won. this pleased me. as for why i'm grumpy? not sure. maybe it's that work is boring and unchallenging now. maybe it's that i always feel like i'm chasing, and i'm never chased. maybe it's that ...i don't know. there really aren't good reasons for me to be upset. my life is pretty great right now, and that's great. but i'm allowed to be grumpy. so i am. but also

i am not going to lie, i woke up grumpy-pants this morning. which makes it hard for me to come up with five small things. but i suppose that's the point of this whole thing, isn't it? meh. 1. having fun playing games. 2. an unexpectedly good night out. 3. laughing with friends.4. hot chocolate.5. my warm, comfortable bed. and i have to say that every day i wake up, i'm pretty grateful to have a

i am going to make an attempt to join this movement interwebs, even though i'm late. (i'm always late)i think it will be good for me. no, i don't think i'll do five every day, maybe just one, or something seven... and how about whatever days i can remember? sounds good to me! my first set? ...1. orange juice and a warm blueberry muffin with butter.2. the safe return of a friend from a trip.3.

so i was just scrolling through my posts of recent months, and realized, very happily, that i'm so much better than i was... i have time to breathe right now. so i am. (breathing. duh) i'm settled in new york, and my apartment and my job. i'm starting to figure things out. it's starting to feel like my life. and that's pretty cool. :)theend.

and so i'm back at work, after four days of vacation, three days of fake work, and four more days of vacation... it was nice to get out of the city, and spend time with my family. i spent the last four days mostly in front of a fireplace, lounging. it was lovely. (some might accuse me of being a pyro. i say that i just like looking at fire, and what's wrong with that?)and now i'm back in nyc. i

good news: four days of relaxation and family and four more days are on the way. i am slowly working on shifting my focus onto myself, and not worrying as much about the world around me and what other people think. thus far? i'd say i have about a 60% success rate, which is just fine by me. the other 40% gives me something to strive for. my new year's resolution? not to make any unrealistic

i am a terrible, terrible blogger. and i apologize. every time i think about logging in and posting, i think of all of the things i didn't blog about, and i get overwhelmed. so i don't log in, which doesn't help the situation at all. so here i am, being furtive and quick. a brief summary:all sorts of shit has gone down that i haven't told you about internets. the most important one is work -

this morning, i had a small victory. and based on my past week, i need to celebrate any victory i have, whatever the size. last night i picked up my car. and when i got in, i noticed a light on the dashboard. a little orange exclamation point. so, i looked in my owners' manual, and deduced that it meant that my tire pressure was unbalanced. no surprise really, since it'd been sitting for a month,

so it's only been about ten days since i posted, but it feels like forever. things that have changed: 1) the phillies are in the world series. and 2) i'm another year older. both weird. so this weekend was my birthday extravaganza. about a month of planning went into it... nine out of town guests and many new york friends later, i survived. but if i tell you about it now, that won't be fun. so

one advantage of the massive amount of stress i'm under and the crazy work schedule? food has become a second-tier priority, and purely about nutritional enough to function - i maximize protein and other things that are important for me, since my time to eat is so super limited.my pants today? looser. :-Dyey.
