Horror Movie Junkie

I admit to loving horror movies. Mama comes out today, so as it is a friend's birthday and he LOVES horror movies just as much as I do, guess what we're doing today for his birthday?! That's right, going to see a horror movie. His girlfriend doesn't like that genre, so it's become our thing. My boyfriend will watch them with me, but he's been working like crazy the last year, so I had to find a new buddy.

So Happy Birthday, S! Let's so get scared! :)

Newborns make everything better

My friends, H & M,  had their baby yesterday afternoon. A healthy baby boy, born at 1:11pm, weighing 7lbs, 6oz. He is so adorable. I just want to put him in my pocket and carry him everywhere!

I spent the day at the hospital with them visiting and taking pictures of the little man. You can't have a bad day when sleeping newborns are in the room. He's just too precious.

Welcome to the world, Justin James!

Giant Headache

Have you ever had one of those headaches that just come on so quickly and out of left field and NOTHING seems to make it better? Yeah, that's what I have. It totally sucks. I took some Tylenol - that didn't help. I tried drinking some caffeine - that didn't help. Dehydration perhaps? Maybe. I've been drinking water all night and it's still killing me.
I got a hair cut today and my headache started there at the salon. So maybe it was the color treatment fumes from the lady beside me. Not sure. In any case, this headache is killing me.
I'm off to bed early to see if I can sleep it off.
Hope you all had a great day.

Winner

While my day may not have started out great - I woke up super sore from my intense workouts the last few days - it ended kinda awesomely. I got a free cupcake at Sprinkles and I got a call from my gym saying that I won a free month for their Member Appreciation Week. How amazing is that?! Going to the gym the last 3 days has totally paid off. Not only am I making myself healthier, I'm being rewarded for it! Generally when I put my name in one of those jars to try and win whatever they are offering, nothing ever comes of it. I can't say that anymore. It definitely was a good ending to the day.


So go to the gym! Maybe it'll pay off in good ways for you!

New Year's Resolutions

1st New Year's resolution: update blog more often. (we'll see how long I can keep this up)
2nd New Year's resolution: actually exercise and shed these 30+ pounds my meds made me gain.  (I have friends to go to the gym with, so it might actually happen)

I'm back into the +American Cancer Society's Relay for Life mode. The new season has begun. Thus kicks into gear my exercise regime to ready myself for 24 hours of awesomeness! And you all get to be a part of it here.  My team (all 8 of us) did amazing last year and I'm sure we'll keep up our awesomeness again this year. I'm not so thrilled with the theme this year; Passport to Relay.  Each team chooses a country to represent somehow and on the day of the event, people will get a passport of some kind to go around and get stamps to visit said countries. I think it'll be a challenge, but I'll find some way to make it work. I heard that another team has already chosen Israel, which is the country my mom will want. If not Israel, I vote for Belgium. I like their waffles. :) I'll see if the team is on board.

I got roped into being on the committee this year. I don't know how that happened. I've been asked to be the Team Captain mentor. I know that they want me to take over Leo's position as the TC Coordinator, but it's not my thing right now. Though I'm happy to help in this way. So I'll mentor the team captains and share my secrets to being awesome. :) As much as I may complain about it, I actually enjoy the company of all the people in the committee. They have become my extended family. So here's to good times ahead!

And on that note, I leave you with the silliness that ensued after dinner tonight.
