become a grownup after typing that.\u00a0 Excuse me while I head into the hallway and do some cartwheels and color on the walls to balance it out.<\/p>\nI try to post 4 times a week, but this week somehow I’ve got enough time for 5.\u00a0 Woohoo!\u00a0 That being said, since it’s technically an extra post, I’m just going to throw in some randomness.\u00a0 Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0 So I was glowing on Wednesday about my 2.2 lb loss.\u00a0 I got on the scale Thursday morning and it said 158.4 – that’s a 4.6 lb loss!!!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Is it even a gain if you still weigh 1.8 lbs less than you did 2 days ago?\u00a0 I am positively amazed at what my body decided to do this week!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 And one meal with my parents, which will invariably be a buffet.\u00a0 Oh well, progress and commitment has to be tested sometime, thank goodness for the weekend allowance being bigger!<\/p>\n
2.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Getting out of big debt and into smaller debt is so exciting!\u00a0 I guess I must now have officially become a grownup after typing that.\u00a0 Excuse me while I head into the hallway and do some cartwheels and color on the walls to balance it out.<\/p>\n
3.\u00a0 Today, I am wearing both the sweet hat I got for Christmas, and my awesome tacky brown shoes.\u00a0 I feel all sorts of snazzy.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 My office building is literally shopping distance from Macy’s.\u00a0 This does not bode well for my pocketbook or productivity this spring…oh yeah, boss, I was, uh, in a meeting.\u00a0 Absolutely not out for an hour hitting the sales.\u00a0 Nope, not me!\u00a0 Uh-huh!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I guess maybe the closet isn’t quite full enough…heh heh.\u00a0 In the picture above you can see both the hat and the “mom” jeans.\u00a0 Below, the tacky shoes.<\/p>\n
4.\u00a0 Looks like my short commute is going away though, I can’t really discuss much ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.taverncrawlers.org\/gallery\/albums\/userpics\/normal_newbrownshoes.JPG\")
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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I spent months trying to shift it earlier, now I’ll be at work no earlier than 10.<\/p>\n
5.\u00a0 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).\u00a0 I just mapped my run online and I went 3.5 miles.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 It was dark, so I stayed within a mile of the house.\u00a0 Our neighborhood is awesome, some of the surrounding areas, not quite so awesome.\u00a0 I came up with a great version of fartlek<\/a>, 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.\u00a0 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!\u00a0 The 30 mins of DDR and the 22 mins of yoga after might have helped though.<\/p>\n Bonus: I spent some time Wednesday evening un-borking my main site.\u00a0 Now with 100% less malicious scripting!\u00a0 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.\u00a0\u00a0 Happy weekending!<\/p>\n
