dreams.
Dreams DO come true!!! You are reading one very excited little lady's blog....
I HAVE A TICKET TO COACHELLA!!!!!
I have wanted to go the last 3 years, but haven't brought myself to spending the money... Well, I pulled the trigger this year. THIS is what I have to look forward to:
I MEAN... SERIOUSLY!?! Here I come Indio, ready or not...

reset.
i know it's been a long time since i've written. I KNOW.
but- (insert big gasp of anticipation here) -i'm back. happy holidays to all :) it's beginning to feel like christmas around here with the cold weather, but where the heck is the snow?! being raised on minnesota winters definitely makes it a little more difficult to feel christmas-y without snow around, but fingers crossed that we'll get some (not a lot because people around here can't drive worth a damn in it) soon.
haven't made it up to the slopes yet, and probably won't until after the new year, which gives me a little more time to save my body from the snow assault i'll probably take on once i get back on the snowboard... sigh. shredder will return! we should all take a moment to mourn the future owies i will have.
not too much new around my 'hood. oh wait, i take that back. my best friend, B, moved to LA last month. i had the sads for awhile about that, but am ok with it now. one more person to go visit in california :) my old college roommate, J, is probably moving down there in january as well. boo. we're all growing up and moving on... one more sigh.
well my day is coming to a close at the office, so i'll pick back up in a day or two. or tonight if i'm feeling writerific - yes, i just made up that word - go with it.

may-hem.
"ahhhhhh." that my friends, was a sigh of relief. i have been carrying around so much stress lately it has taken it's toll! but now, after a few changes, i can breathe much easier - and get back to focusing on getting my summer started!
last night i took a little risk and cut bangs in my hair - i know, big whoop, but hey! it's a change for me! they are very sassy, if i do say so myself. i got the thumbs up from the bf, so i suppose that's a good sign. especially when he says "i LIKE!" :)
we leave this friday afternoon for a getaway with friends on vashon island - i'm so excited! it's been quite awhile since i've had a planned 3 day weekend, so i'm definitely looking forward to spending memorial day weekend with good friends and good weather to boot! on top of this adventurous weekend, i'm heading to arizona in a little less than 2 weeks for G's grad school graduation. i am super anxious and can't wait to see everyone down there - i'll be there for 6 days - 6 days of +100 degree heat! OMG! i will definitely be picking up some sunscreen :) i've been tanning to prepare my fair skin for the assault it's about to endure, so hopefully that helps a little. (i've got my fingers crossed)
well, i suppose i should stop wasting viable work time to blog and browse the internet... so farewell my friends... for now :)

right...
this weekend was a reminder of just exactly why i am no longer qualified to party like i used to in college. i will say that it was super fun, but honestly, there was no reason i should have drank literally ALL weekend long. so much for those calories, right?
i certainly paid for my adult beverage intake though... i won't go into details - let's just say i felt like i wanted to die on monday morning - which was also probably brought on by the amount of food i ate on sunday. not smart, em... not smart at all.
but now that i'm back to normal (i think), it's time to get down to business... summer is right around the corner, and with the taste we've had the last few days - i need to go full throttle at the gym! swimsuit season is almost here, and for anyone that knows my financially crippling addiction to buying bathing suits, i will be sporting them as often as possible and trying to soak up as much sun as my schedule will allow me!
which brings me to my next point - i am SO proud of myself this year! for lent, i gave up anything drive-thru that i could eat - which means i could still be a drive-thru banker, i just couldn't stop for a snack or a coffee anywhere! i made it! (ok, i'm jumping the gun a few days early, but give me a break!) not only have i not gone through a drive-thru, but i have abstained from eating fast food altogether and haven't had coffee since Ash Wednesday - i have to tell you, it wasn't easy! i will tell you though, that i definitely saved money by not spontaneously dropping by coffee stands for a treat and i think i can continue on with this new "non" habit :) i think my bank account will appreciate me a little more for this.
so as far as everything else goes, life is good. the bf is good, work is good, weather is slowly but surely getting better, and i'm bound to get back on track with my goals. sadly, snowboarding season is coming to a close, but i think i gave it a good effort this year :) for a girl who's got a robot leg, that is. speaking of which, has been bothering me lately... just stiff and sore... :(
i guess EVERYTHING can't be great, but all in all, i'm content. last night, i had the honor of sharing the evening with T's family for his niece, Lucy's, 1st birthday! she is such a doll... i can't get enough of her little smile!

daily plate.
I'm the newest member of The Daily Plate!... The website was suggested to me by B since her sister A has had so much success with it and swears by it (and with her results of losing over 45 lbs in a year - I'll take her word). I'm so excited now that I will really be able to track what I eat, how much I exercise, and be held accountable for what food and work I put into my body :) I have a feeling I'll become one of those people who religiously update their daily plate - I'm already a fanatic! A day and a half - and I'm completely on track :) In case you don't know about the Daily Plate, here's the web address:
The Daily Plate
Even without the Daily Plate, I must say, I've impressed myself with my commitment to getting back into shape - two and a half weeks in - I can already see results! I'm much more energetic (this may have to do with the fact that I'm back on track with my iron levels in my blood - but I like to think it's due to the exercising), I'm starting to see a little more definition in my arms, and when I stepped on the scale last night- for the first time in two weeks- I was down 4 lbs! GO ME!
On another bright note, I'm headed back up to Steven's tomorrow for some boarding :) Hopefully it keeps snowing and isn't quite as icy as last weekend! Cheers to the weekend friends! Have a good one... and as always -
God bless.
