About: PR gal in my twenties. As soon as I figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up it became obsolete. Instead of writing for a newspaper I get to write here.
My job is exciting and wonderful but exhausting at times, and when I do have the energy to remove my rear from the couch, I enjoy drinking all the wines, shopping for thousands of identical cardigans and striped items, cheering for the Alabama Crimson Tide, chasing after my insane English Bulldog, Denny, singing and dancing along with the Avett Brothers, and having as much fun as possible with my friends and family. Sometimes I think about exercising. And then I grab a bag of chips.
GET AT ME
This is the face I give Tuesday. I think it really says, “Over it.” Get ready for a brain dump:
- Went to join the YMCA last night so I can try and get back in shape since I’d say 32% of all my gchat convos are about how I need to lose weight. They were closed in observance of MLK. Trying again tonight. (Don’t get cray, I won’t work out until at LEAST tomorrow.)
- Wearing my Banana sweater with the elbow patches only marginally made today better/more comfy. Only one person noticed the super cute elbow patches! Come on, guys!
- I’ve been obsessed with this LUSH Bubblegum lip scrub. I’ve been trying to find something for the past few months that can take care of my dry lips, and this does the job in spades. I may actually be exfoliating my lips too much, but eh.
- I wanted a vague thing to work out, but I got an email earlier that it did not. Boo, vague thing, boo. It’s bumming me out.
- In response, I ate 5 powdered donuts. See first bullet point.
- Now I’m a super grump. How can I turn it around?
- Blake and I aren’t actually starting to plan anything wedding-wise for a few months since we are shooting for a March 2013 date (ideally) and I already promised this won’t be a wedding blog. But it has been such fun to look at dresses and think about colors and venues and gchat Brooke about them and pin ALL THE THINGS on Pinterest. I wish I saw more of my girlfriends IRL more often so we could be girly and gush about things, but I just saw one of my best friends that lives 2 miles from me for the first time to catch up yesterday for lunch. (She was also in New Orleans when we got engaged. She was on Bourbon Street that night when we were! We talked and tried to meet up approx. 15 times. Why is it so hard to make plans with friends? Why don’t more of my girlfriends live here? Whole separate post…) Anyway, I’m still trying to just enjoy being engaged and fake planning for a while longer. Does anyone have any advice they wish they’d been given before they started planning?
