I need this sweater.

Taylor Swift's sweater needs to be added to my wardrobe.  Ridiculous, but necessary.  Please help me find where to purchase it.

finally, spring time is here.

Happy first day of spring!  I am so happy that it is finally here...warm weather, riding my horses outside, sunshine.  Finally, the end of cold, depressing winter is near :)

Elise's new Lion-walking outfit.

This morning I signed into my work computer to discover this posted my Elise. I laughed for a while.

my newest lion-walking outfit:

via do we like that?

I hope I survive.

It is day three of this new work atmosphere.  Not only have some of my favorite friends and coworkers gone to Europe for the month but I have also moved desks to the quieter and less eventful eleventh floor.  Not to knock Floor 11 - there are many perks and pros but all of this is taking some getting used to.  I have already looked into flights to meet them in Paris countless times (which is where they will be during my birthday later this month) and sent numerous emails.  One of which included this very necessary and concerning life update.

Yesterday for lunch I had one of those packaged tuna pouches.  Today, as I opened another pouch and began ingesting it I remembered that last night I ate a spicy crunchy tuna sushi roll. As I continued eating today's tuna I began to panic slightly that this high level of tuna consumption in the last 24 hrs. might cause me to get mercury poisoning. I realize that at this point most people might have disposed of their tuna package. But I was hungry.

So I completed today's tuna and then dealt with the issue. I Googled "how much tuna is too much" and discovered that if i continue this pattern for a week or so I might be horribly ill at the very least.  But I think if I break the cycle I should be ok. Tonight I'm going to my parents house to ride my horses, however, and Phyllis (my mom, but I prefer to refer to her by her proper and more humorous name) always leaves me some dinner.  She frequently makes salmon and I fear that this may be the case tonight.  And that this might push my health over the edge.  Just refuse it, you say?  That cannot be done.  No one refuses Phyllis' cooking.  That would not go over well.

So I hope that I survive this.  Because if anything goes wrong I'm not sure anyone will notice down here on floor 11.

Happy one year, blog of mine.

It is official.  The blog needs to come back.  We took some time away from each other; perhaps we have grown a little in different directions;  maybe we just needed a break.  Maybe we needed to miss each other a little.

Well, blog - its time to get back together.  In one short week, two of my favorite friends and coworkers will be departing the country on a business trip for almost a month.  This distresses me for several reasons.  First, they accept and embrace my weird awkwardness.  And I appreciate that.  Second, they assist in my life shenanigans.  They are then at work the following day to recap shenans or to just have a good shoot the sally session.  And most importantly, they get me through the work day.  Why else am I distressed?  During this time I will be turning 27.  I'm not horribly upset about this really but I am definitely not happy.  Not happy at all. 

So the blog and I must reunite.  I'm going to have to share my stories and silly tidbits with the blog since the office across from me will be dark and empty and sad for such a long long time.  Not that I'm sad or anything.

Happy 2011!

I was a bit over 2010 (major understatement) - I wanted to welcome 2011 in with a hypothetical bang.  So where did a greet the new year, running and gleefully jumping into its arms?  Warm, sunny Florida. After a couple of days riding my horse in Wellington I headed to Miami with some friends and rang in the new year at Mansion with Nicki Minaj. Though it turns out Nicki was running a little late and decided to dupe us, having us celebtrate New Years six minutes late without our even knowing.  But that in no way took away from the awesomeness.  I mean, she signed Brandon's forehead.  Every second of the trip was fun, warm, magical...I could come up with worthy adjectives all day. So for 2011 I will try to write/post more again.  Maybe redecorate the blog a little.  I don't know, we'll see.

Oh heavens...

...it has been a while since my last post.  My apologies for such delinquency.  So to kick off new blogging I will start with my two current shenanigan jams.



musicromping: King Charles

We saw King Charles opening for Mumford & Sons and I fell in love.  He is pretty wonderful.  His music, his outfit, his dreadlocks.

Silly Bandaids.

Top 40, sweet cheeks.

I know all of my recent posts have included music but I can't resist posting these clips from this week's Glee episode.  I can't stop watching/listening to them. I usually find Gwyneth Paltrow to be a bit dull but she really changed that with her performance in this episode.



musicromping: Girl Talk

Girl Talk just released a new album, available at http://illegal-art.net/allday/.  He will also be in DC on February 1st...just bought my tickets last week and cannot wait.  Check out the CD below.
