a lot about nothing...

As I write this blog (which has no particular direction it's going in, so I apologize ahead of time for the rambling) it's snowing again.  I've lived in Pennsylvania my entire life, and I remember getting a decent amount of snow when I was a little girl, but in recent years not a whole lot.  This past year?  RIDICULOUS!  I think it's beautiful, but i'm so sick of driving in it!  Tonight is 1-4 inches and then turning to sleet/freezing rain.  Saige already has a 2 hour delay for school tomorrow.  Driving into work at 7 am should be fantastic.  ugh!  Ok, I'm done throwing my temper tantrum now, but enough is enough sheesh.

Anyway ... I should probably update, but I don't really have much to update about.  My weekend was the same as usual.  I had Saige all weekend so I didn't do a whole lot.  Went to the fox like I usually end up doing on Saturday nights.  Ate, hung out, and watched football.  Sunday I grocery shopped in the morning and then did laundry and watched football.  Are we seeing a pattern with my weekend?  haha.  Oh yeah, Friday was my mom's birthday.  I also ended up with bronchitis friday so I stayed home from work and went to the doctors, but later that night myself, Saige, my sister, hinkle, and my mom all went to Maggianos for her birthday dinner.  She had never been, so we took her there.  The food was delicious as always.  After that we all just sat around the house til like 12;30 hanging out and talking.  I just realized I reviewed my weekend from sunday-friday instead of friday-sunday.  interesting, ha.  I blame my nighttime cough syrup :)

I don't think I've got much more to talk about here really.  I should probably go to bed now because I have a feeling tonight may be a long night.  Saige is coughing a lot and that always means no sleep for me! the work of a parent is never done I suppose...goodnight everyone.

day 2...

another day of eating right and exercising under my belt!  i still feel so full with eating all of this food, but i'm doing it haha.  I also decided how i'm going to work on my running.  I'm only running a mile right now.  That doesn't seem like a lot, i know, but hear me out.  I'm running a mile until i get it down to 10 minutes a mile. then i'll start to increase my distance.  i figure if i do that, then i'll be giving my body time to get used to the idea of running and adapting to it, making me more likely to develop back into positive running habits?  who knows, it could be an awful idea, but i'm giving it a shot.  what do you think?

otherwise not much is new really.  my bedroom is being attacked by stink bugs tonight for some reason.  don't they know it's like 30 degrees outside?  geez, go away already, it's january!  work was actually ok today.  i had pretty good help today and that always makes a huge difference.  we'll see how tomorrow goes, i'm sure it will go back to sucking.  it was nice while it lasted.

i'm going to start reading a book tonight.  i go in these spurts where i read all the time, and then i stop.  i want to get in the habit of reading for at least a half an hour each night.  i think i spend entirely too much time on the computer and watching tv.  reading always relaxes me as well, and i've been having some serious trouble falling asleep at night (which lead me to waking up late today, lame) so i'm hoping that reading more will result in me falling asleep easier.  i usually fall asleep with a book in my hand when i read haha, so keep your fingers crossed that it works!

hope everyone's having a great start to their new year!

totally random post...

I look forward to these "chart topper" remixes every year this time of year haha.  I enjoy this one a lot this year, so I thought I'd share.  enjoy :)

a little bit of this and that ...

I don't really have much of substance to write about, I just really felt like writing a little bit, so bare with me here.

Is it friday yet? Geez what a week. Settling back into the usual routine back at home after vacation has proved to be harder then expected. Even Saige is having a hard time adjusting to being home, which is rare for her to have a hard time adjusting to anything at all. Work is crazy, but that's an every day thing. I keep thinking maybe it will become a little less stressful, even just for a day, but so far after 8 years that still haven't proved to be true. A girl can hope right?

Nothing has really happened at all this week besides going back to work. My car had issues, big surprise there. The battery kept randomly draining, but we unplugged my ipod docker and jumped it and so far it's held a charge fine since then. Hopefully it will stay ok, that battery isn't even a year old yet and I don't feel like buying another one.

I've decided I want to expand my hobbies ... because I really don't have any. That probably sounds kind of lame, but I really don't. I watch tv and movies, I read ... and thats about it. I don't have like a HOBBY hobby. I think I want to get into photo editing but I'm not sure. I downloaded the new photoshop and have enjoyed messing around with it so far. I'm considering purchasing the whole thing once my trial is over, but we'll see. I need to get back to exercising but I feel like once I start and get a steady routine of it going, something happens that throws it all out of whack and I have to start from scratch. I should start walking at night or something. Any ideas?

Well, I think thats a random enough entry for now ... I've gotta get saige ready for bed (thats always a good time). Tomorrow is friday, yay!
