Outbreak


On Friday I went to get blood work* done. I was riding the elevator with some lady, down the laboratory. I wanted to turn to her and say, "I’m here for an HIV test. What are you here for?"

Then I thought I should have come up with some sort of airborne illness that would really freak you out if you were sharing an elevator with that person.

Any suggestions?

*I was just getting basic blood work done because I had a physical the week before. My lipid panel came back, and you'll be happy to know my cholesterol is fine. I'm still waiting for the other test. This will confirm whether or not my hypochondriacness, over the years, will finally get the justice it deserves...though I don't want something to really be wrong with me.

Phototastic!

I really enjoy having my picture taken. I think it's funny that in any two photos we can look so different. I'll admit, I've had my fair share of bad pictures, but when a I have a shot that I think is good, I can't help but look at it. Maybe I have an obsession with myself or something.

I presently have a photo of myself, on my computer at work. Every once in a while I like to pull it up and admire myself. I can't help that I was born so dang good looking. It's a gift!




I will have to find more and post for you, just in case this photo, alone, does not convince you what a hottie I am.

Life Changing

An event occurred this morning that has profoundly changed my life, for good. I will never be the same, and I must say this is a good thing.

The Troops Are Going To Run Me Dry


No, not our miltary troops. The troops of Girl Scouts standing out in front of the stores every weekend.

The worst part, is I'm not actually buying for the cookies for the cookies. Don't get me wrong, I love Girl Scout cookies, but I'm not really feeling them this year. I've maybe had 5 cookies total from the boxes I've bought.

So let me set the situation up for you. Last weekend, I got to the store and noticed that some of the members of this Girl Scout Troop were not your typical looking Girl Scouts. I felt as if I had to buy so I could support them. Then this weekend, it was a group of Brownies. How could I resist?

My solution: I need to stop going to the store.

Recent Highlights In My Life

A few weeks ago I learned to crochet and made a scarf for one of my scarf lovin' friends. I've always wanted to learn to crochet but never did. I guess it was my "I told you I could do it, so there" attitude that made me get it done.

And more recently, I ran 6 miles! I am running a 10K at the beginning of April. Seeing as this is the most I've ever fun in my life, I'm pretty stoked about this and a lot more confident that I can do it.
