Dear Dark Clouds - Shove It!

I kind of can’t believe it’s been almost a whole month since I blogged about trying to be Superwoman and crying over desserts. I can honestly say I’ve made no effort what-so-ever in the past month to be Superwoman, nor have I recently cried over dessert. Although, I DID make a delicious low-fat cake last night – pshhh who needs cupcakes anyway? (Kidding – I need cupcakes … lots of cupcakes…). I digress. =)

The Least You Need to Know

I do NOT know how people who get migraines on a regular basis deal with that. For the past week, I’ve woken up every day with a headache and then proceed to get approximately 2-3 more throughout the day. =( I went through my normal list of why I could possibly be getting so many (no, Mom, my ponytail isn’t too tight) =) and I really can’t figure it out.

Be remarkable

Do you ever just feel like something is "off"? I hate that feeling. Hate, hate, hate it. Lately that "off" feeling has been lingering and quite frankly I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because there is a LOT going on, or maybe I'm just having some weird paranoia lately, or maybe I just need some more PMA...I really don't know.

Take time to explore...

For those of you who don't know, I work primarily with educators. Yay! I interact, share, and learn so much from them everyday. One of the *coolest* parts of my job is that I get to play. Yep! I get to play with tons of cutting edge and really awesome resources that teachers use in the classroom.

My new favorite one is Prezi. It's a modern spin on PowerPoint. And quite frankly, in my opinion, it's pretty freakin' cool. So, today, I'm giving you my blog post through Prezi! :)

You got what you wanted

I think the last time I heard that saying was in a snarky "na-ne-na-ne-boo-boo" voice from one of my siblings. But last night I was chatting with my roomie/best friend/honorary sister/most amazing person ever -- telling her all my crazy stories of the day, when I realized...

I'm getting what I want.

Um...scary.

I've been DYING to tell you about this

As some of you may or may not know, I am apart of a social network that revolves around the love of sports.

It first started off as a basketball group on Twitter, but quickly has turned into something bigger and better. It's turned into a social network and blog for the love of all things sports, healthy competition, and excitement. I've seen (and experienced) how females always get a negative wrap when participating or discussing sports, so our social network and blog were created for females and males who do not judge women who love to watch, talk, and participate in sports.

Turn my world upside-down

There was a point in my life where my taste in music drastically changed. It grew to broader types, less mainstream, and I became more open to giving any and all types of music a chance. A friend of mine asked me once, "what musician changed your taste?" That answer is so incredible easy for me.

Beirut.

GOODBYE, 2009...HELLO, 2010!

I have to say, I am SO HAPPY 2009 is coming to an end. This year has been FULL of ups and downs, tears, laughter, love, friendship, and family, but I am ready to scoot 2009 out the door and wave hello to 2010. As we all know, its prime time to start making those New Year’s resolutions of dieting, working out, quitting smoking, planning to travel, or saving money.

I am the master of justifying anything and everything.

Yep, I said it. Let me explain - I went to Target to buy a Christmas present for one of my friends. I ventured to the clothing section, saw some cheap shirts on sale – convinced myself I could NOT leave without them because I needed some new workout clothes. BAM - $20 later, new clothes and no Christmas present.

Okay, okay…this could also be known as a little disease called I AM ADDICTED TO SHOPPING.

Sooooo, for that purpose, I’m going to give you another example. :)

Sneaking smoothies into a movie made my day.

I was driving up to Gainesville early this morning and it hit me that it’s really Thanksgiving again. Wow. Seriously? I’m not sure how this year has flown by so fast that we’re already worrying about holiday traffic and planning what time to set the coffee maker for the day after Thanksgiving shopping. Or how we’re already figuring out what color hand turkey we’re going to make and eating ourselves to a complete food coma just in time to catch some afternoon football.
