Downsizing, Heather, Thor, Twilight, SHOWER!

Welcome to a random, no-nonsense blog! If you truly have no interest in reading this, please stop here. You're life will not be changed or moved. I just felt like blogging because I didn't want to get off my butt yet from my workout and shower. *eww-I probably should just get up*

So I've been trying this new thing...it's called "healthy living"-----maybe you've heard of it?

Yes. I sheepishly admit I haven't been taking care of my body. Which is probably not news, because well, when you don't take care of your body, it shows. I just want to be that older woman who looks great and can keep up with her kids and eventually grandkids. I want Jay and I to be old and healthy together!

Can I just say that it's REALLY not motivating when you've legitimately been working out and eating right, and you weigh yourself the next morning and find you've actually put on weight? No, it's not muscle gain...trust me I know I haven't been working out that long to have actually gained any muscle. Nevertheless, I will not lose hope and I will continue to do what I'm doing. I miss feeling great about my body...here's to take 799 of trying to get back in to shape. Haha...instead of saying, "we will see how long this one lasts", I'm going to say "I can't wait to fit back into those clothes!".

Anyway this isn't a blog about my adventure of getting back into shape.

It's just a blog of randomness.

So, I have an interview tonight. For a full-time nanny job. It's for a family of 3, and their child is a baby 9 mos. old! I can't wait to meet them. The mom sounds fantastic (I haven't talked to the dad, but I'm sure he's fantastic, too!). Here's hoping they will find me fantastic as well! :)

Right after my interview Heather will have made it alllllll the way here to Eagan, MN! We shall be spending the weekend going to Ikea, and Victoria's Secret (she doesn't know that yet, I have a coupon and I need...things there), which just happens to be at the MOA so if we spend some time there I won't be upset :) We shall probably also make it to my favorite late night cafe, Uncommon Grounds. Such a cozy atmosphere that makes you want to cuddle up to your beverage and talk with your friends! It shall be so wonderful! Shall, shall, shall! I used "shall" a lot in that paragraph. Do forgive me. Unless you enjoyed it. Then go ahead and continue in your brain enjoying that last paragraph.

Uhhhhhh...so Jay and I are trying to "downsize". In a couple months when our lease is up we plan on moving into a 1-bedroom apartment. Hopefully with a den, but if not we will deal! We've realized this 2 bedroom + Den is insanely large for us. But, we still have a lot of crap (term I use for the word "stuff" though I'm sure you figured that). So after I shower from that workout, I will be doing some organizing and "good-will-piling". And our den is just plain disorganized. I can't even sit at my piano. I would like to sit at my piano. I like my piano. Actually, I love my piano.

OH my gosh. My new favorite movie....Thor. It's not just because I find Thor very....handsome (Jay knows I have a little "celebrity appreciation" for Thor haha), but seriously? The movie kicks butt. And it's just one of those movies where something epic happens where you just want to make a "kick butt" face, throw your hands in the air and say "YEAH! UHHHH!". Which I did do in my brain...because the first time I watched it I was on the airplane and didn't want to make it awkward for those surrounding me. However, when I went to see The Avengers in the theater, you can bet your bottom dollar that I did that. Jay tried to bring me back down. I even clapped at the end. Sometimes those kick butt movies just are so awesome. I feel the same way about X-Men. And Wolverine. And Iron Man. And Transformers (just the first one). Okay, so it sounds like I like a bunch of movies based off comics. Strange, because I've never read them and really don't have an interest to. I just like the kick butt action. Unless it's a zombie/vampire movie. I generally have distaste for those. I wish I could say I felt that way about the Twilight movies. I'm SORRY, okay? But I read the books and I enjoyed them and while I did feel like vomiting much of the time I still enjoyed them. Sorry if that makes me lame. I don't think it makes me lame. But I know people out there think that makes me lame. And I'm sorry you have that stick up your butt. Jus' sayin'. I like what I like, and you like what you like. And I like some pretty cool things.

Okay. Random ramblings done. I feel gross and it's time to get in that cleanin' machine. And LET'S GET TO IT!
