Friday Randomness – 5 Random Things

I try to post 4 times a week, but this week somehow I’ve got enough time for 5.  Woohoo!  That being said, since it’s technically an extra post, I’m just going to throw in some randomness.  Have a great weekend!

1.  So I was glowing on Wednesday about my 2.2 lb loss.  I got on the scale Thursday morning and it said 158.4 – that’s a 4.6 lb loss!!!  I was up to 159.0 today but that’s because I ate a bowl of salty soup 2 hours before bed, I expected a worse gain.  Is it even a gain if you still weigh 1.8 lbs less than you did 2 days ago?  I am positively amazed at what my body decided to do this week!  However, I will wait to be ecstatic until after the weekend, in which we have one night out on the town with food included, one night getting food cooked for us, and both will including drinking, carousing, and reveling.  And one meal with my parents, which will invariably be a buffet.  Oh well, progress and commitment has to be tested sometime, thank goodness for the weekend allowance being bigger!

2.  Good news stemming from the bad economy – we were able to settle one of Zliten’s school loans for about half of what he owed with a payoff.  Getting out of big debt and into smaller debt is so exciting!  I guess I must now have officially become a grownup after typing that.  Excuse me while I head into the hallway and do some cartwheels and color on the walls to balance it out.

3.  Today, I am wearing both the sweet hat I got for Christmas, and my awesome tacky brown shoes.  I feel all sorts of snazzy.  I’m glad I feel like my closet is very full and my wardrobe is fleshed out for the season, because I now work in a freakin’ mall.  My office building is literally shopping distance from Macy’s.  This does not bode well for my pocketbook or productivity this spring…oh yeah, boss, I was, uh, in a meeting.  Absolutely not out for an hour hitting the sales.  Nope, not me!  Uh-huh!  The only thing is all my new jeans are too long to wear with heels like this (I want them to show), and I’m wearing jeans from 1999 which aren’t quite mom jeans, but closer than I’d like.  I guess maybe the closet isn’t quite full enough…heh heh.  In the picture above you can see both the hat and the “mom” jeans.  Below, the tacky shoes.

4.  Looks like my short commute is going away though, I can’t really discuss much in the way of specifics about it but I’m going to be working out of a sound studio on the east side doing some recording for the next 2 months.  It’s one of my favorite parts of this job and I’m very excited to get to spend a lot of time doing it…however, I really am going to miss the 5 minute commute and I’ll be shifting my day later for a while, which will be weird.  I spent months trying to shift it earlier, now I’ll be at work no earlier than 10.

5.  I ran outside for the first time since the great injury of 2008 – I bruised my heel so bad I couldn’t run for 2 weeks (and I only ran half a mile on the streets, the rest was on the track).  I just mapped my run online and I went 3.5 miles.  I just set out to do 30-40 minutes, next time I might map it ahead of time and try to judge time when I’m out there.  It was dark, so I stayed within a mile of the house.  Our neighborhood is awesome, some of the surrounding areas, not quite so awesome.  I came up with a great version of fartlek, where it was light enough for me to see the road to watch for potholes, I booked it fast, when it was dark, I went slower.  I’ll definitely have to work a run in outside each week (unless its freezing) because that hurt so good – I am sore in a completely different way!  The 30 mins of DDR and the 22 mins of yoga after might have helped though.

Bonus: I spent some time Wednesday evening un-borking my main site.  Now with 100% less malicious scripting!  If you wanted to see some of my old art, comics, or just see my purdy flash page menus…or if you just don’t want to type /blog after www.adjustedreality.com, you can check it out.   Happy weekending!
