Spring Fever!

Hello Everyone.

Today is Tuesday, April 5 and I am now on my second week of eating healthy and on my second day of walking to and from work.  Well, actually I am not walking home today because I have the worst shin splints!  I am out of shape, but not that bad.  I walked to and from work all last summer up until the middle of December when the snow hit.  Now that I am older and still single I thought it would be a good idea to try to be healthier.  I have a friend who joined weight watchers and already lost five pounds in two weeks but I don't think I am as dedicated as she is. 

This weekend my Mom came for a visit on Saturday and I made a crock pot of chili in the morning, went shopping in the afternoon, watched the movie "get him to the greek" (super stupid), and then went to the casino for a few hours of bingo.  Don't worry, my weekends will surely spice up now that the weather is nicer and patio season will begin.  Hopefully a lot of you will join me for my beloved patio drinks.

Today I am going to the doctor to refill my birth control prescription in the hopes... I mean in case I am faced with a situation of lust so there will not be any unplanned pregnancies.  Or if you know me I like to say: in case I ever fall on a ween I will be prepared :)

I am also having my Tuesday night get together with my friend (CC) and am looking forward to it since she was away last week.  She better of brought me my magnet!  Yes, I collect magnets from different places, please don't judge me.  It's the one thing you can collect that doesn't add clutter.

Finally, my favourite show Vampire Diaries is back on the air this Tuesday!  I am so looking forward to seeing Damon Salvatore back on the big screen.  I love him so much on the show and then followed him on twitter and it turns out he is a cat lover and animal activist.  I do not consider myself a mean person but I HATE cats and think there are better things to focus your energy on than animals.  Now, now, don't send me any hate comments cause it's not like that.  I'm just really not a pet person.

Let's just say that I can no longer claim to have never been in a limo while in a full Richard-Simmons-esque outfit, which ended up being more '80's aerobics-esque, complete with off-the-shoulder baggy shirts and fluorescent pink socks. We got the limo (and went through with the theme) for my friend's birthday on Friday and it was absolutely hilarious. People were crowd surfing, music was loud...and then we went to the club. All-around an excellent night.

Saturday night I saw "Lincoln Lawyer" which I went into with very low expectations and left pleasantly surprised. If you're in the mood for a legal drama I'd recommend it. Reminded me of a John Grisham book-into-movie...sort of a "Runaway Jury" vibe but more intense).

Sunday lunch was with several lovely people. And then I spent some quality time with Zach and Natalie (i.e. main characters in "Garden State", an excellent recommendation).

Have you ever had a conversation with a friend about a problem and felt that they understood exactly what you were describing (in an honest way, not a yeah-sure-I'll-nod-my-head-so-you-shut-up-soon way). It's really nice when that happens.
