new week!

by 7 Comments

A new week means new awesome things to look forward to.
So here is my list, in short, of things I am looking forward to this week:

– the premiere of the trainwreck Bachelor Pad. I put it on my Google Calendar and reminded BF we needed to record it. Hopefully we will be watching it tonight.

– also the season premiere of Dating in the Dark. We actually don’t love that show, we just love the awkwardness and sadness of it all. Come to think of it, that might be the only reason anyone watches that show.

– starting week 7 of the Couch 2 5k running program. Buh-bye, intervals! Hello distance! I’m super proud that we completed week 6, and haven’t cheated or stopped once!

– hanging out with my sister this weekend for our girls night! She is moving three hours away for a new job, so we will be hanging out, drinking wine, watching sex and the city 2, and perhaps playing some Mario on the Wii. Ha!

– sleeping. and resting. and watching what I eat. If you follow me on twitter, you may have seen some semi-alarming tweets regarding the emergency room and a lot of pain. I’ll get into this more seriously in another post, but let’s just say I haven’t been well and haven’t had any sleep as a result of it.

What is everyone else looking forward to this week?

And don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a Starbucks mug and gift certificate!

true story tuesday :: trainwrecks, employment and inception.

Last night we went to go see Inception for our $5 movie Monday date night at Plaza Cinemas. It.was.awesome. I left the theater in tears from emotion. I seriously think that everyone should go see that movie.

True story.
Three cans of Diet Dr. Pepper in one day is too many. Even if you’re trying to burp ’cause you have a stomach ache. I found this out today.

True story.

I am loving my new job! But I must finally publish a post that I’ve been trying to write for a while about how {and why} I spent the last two or so months “seeking opportunities.” It is much more difficult to talk about that one might think.

True story.
I make BF record and then watch the Bachelorette with me. At least, I thought I made him watch it with me… until I asked BF to fast forward through a part that was annoying me {one of the many Ally crying moments} and BF said “wait, I just want to see what happens.” WTF?? For real?! So excited. Someone must be enjoying this trainwreck as much as I. 😉

True story.

reasons today was awesome.

1. I only spent 30 minutes in the license bureau {aka, the DMV} and received an ugly Ohio drivers license and new plates!

2. The Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale. I only shop at BBW during their semi-annual sale. And pretty much the only thing I purchase are the $5 Wallflowers. One word: awesomesauce-amazingpants {what? it’s hyphenated which makes it one word… right?}. I buy these things in bulk during their semi-annual sale. Not to mention I also managed to pick up a Henri Bendel Firewood candle for 50% off. Can someone say awesomesauce-amazingpants again??

3. On top of my lovely Bath and Body Works deals, I also happened to be drawn into Express by their gigantic Sale! signs. I figured I’d just browse and leave empty-handed. That certainly was NOT the case today.

I picked up this dress in black. Let’s be honest, I have no clue where I will manage to wear it to, but I suppose it’s a good thing to have on hand for $23. I also picked up this dress in green, this skirt in blue, and this top in black. And they were all steals. True story.

4. Post-work, BF and I met at P.F. Changs for happy hour. Generally speaking, I am not a fan of Changs, but I love, love, love their Salt and Pepper Calamari and Seared Ahi Tuna. And they just so happen to be part of the happy hour special.

5. We are spending the evening relaxing, watching Last Comic Standing and perhaps even an episode of True Beauty.

this much is true.

I was on a serious high yesterday after sticking it to the man, mentally peacing out at work, getting the severe weight of work off of my shoulders.

And then, I wasn’t. True story. Not sure why. I think I’ve “checked out” too early & now I don’t want to do anything. Like, nothing.

But even though I was feeling like doing nothing but sleep, I went out to Dinosaur BBQ with a couple of lovely ladies! {for those unfamiliar with the hype of the Dino, it’s basically a hole-in-the-wall, biker bar. It’s been featured on the Travel Channel before & the Food Network.}

It was, sadly, only kind of good. We waited an hour for a table and then 45-minutes for our food to arrive. True story. I ended up not enjoying my food nearly as much once it arrived.

I really want to cancel my Netflix subscription, but I must finish the second season of Mad Men first! I have just one more DVD coming… hopefully it will be here soon. But otherwise, Netflix hasn’t been worth the $15 a month. True story.

My landlord has decided to put my duplex up on the market. This annoys me because two realtors came by tonight. I had to be home for them, and they were… late. True story. See the thing is, I don’t particularly care if the house sells. So they should probably be kind to me and be on time. I’m just sayin’.

Tomorrow I have a half day at work. I’m going to actually sleep in tomorrow. True Story. I didn’t get to do much sleeping in because I was working at the Yoga Lounge all weekend {which I loved doing, don’t get me wrong, but I just didn’t have an opportunity to sleep very much this weekend 🙂 } and spendin time with BFs niece & sister who were in from Denver. It was such a fun weekend, but goodness am I worn out now!

Best true story ever? Well that would be the fact that I only have 6 and a half days of work left. Sigh. Light at the end of the tunnel!

Hope you’re enjoying your week!

lots on my mind this true story tuesday

I have a crazy ton on my mind this week.

True story.

I went to the gym yesterday. & now I hurt. It kinda sucks.

True story.

I’m literally counting down the minutes until I get to drive back to Ohio on Thursday to see BF.
True story.

Dancing With The Stars is pretty much the most ridiculous concept for a television show. But I’m watching it for the first time as we speak.

True story.

i am always happy on fridays

I’ve had a crazy busy and super stressful week at work, so this weekend my plans will consists of:

-going out to Salsaritas with Suzanne for dinner Friday night.

-going to the gym.

-cleaning my apartment.

-watching Season 1 disc 1 & 2 of Mad Men from Netflix!

-Doing my taxes

-Going to Starbucks and reading the book The Help (for book club).

-catching up on all of your blogs!! {you’ve been busy little bloggers!}

So obviously no major plans, but I sometimes like it that way. A very wise girl tells me to slow down sometimes (and thank you for that Dawn!), so that’s exactly what I will be doing!

What are your plans for the weekend?
