Ramblings of the week.

Hi everyone!

I have been busy this week as I am trying to keep up with some of the New Year's Resolutions I set for myself.

I FINALLY started working out!!! YAY ME!!! It had been a while, and I am happy because I can still do a minimum of 30 minutes on the elliptical at home without passing out.

I also started eating a little better this week, I am charting all of my workouts and food consumption on Excel, and it's going well.  Next week I am going to start incorporating Pilates into my workouts, and I think I'm going to detox as well...just for a week...or however long I can last. We will see how THAT goes. :)

On the education forefront, I am registering for my last two classes in order to graduate, and I'm desperately looking for a job. I have faith I will find something by before the end of the month...it's been so long since I last had a job, and I feel like a free-loading bum here at home, since I have been taking my classes online, and have nothing else to really do. I think my parents will kick me out soon...haha..jk(I hope)...

I have dubbed 2010 "The Year of CHANGE."

I know Obama already used the CHANGE slogan in 2008, but this is for my personal use, so it is not the same.
I am confident that this is my year of life-altering decisions, and I'm excited about the influx of determination the ringing in of this year seems to have bestowed upon me!!! I hope that by the end of the year I have a set plan of what I intend to do with my life...since right now I don't really have a clue as to what that entails. For now, I am enjoying spending time with my family and friends, and enjoying being at home as much as I can, since I know that being here THIS long will probably never happen again, once my life takes a clearer direction, but who knows, maybe it will.

ANYWAY, I dyed my hair purple...well maroon-ish...it kind of looks like brown-maroon actually...and I LOVE IT! I had been sporting highlights for half a year already, and my hair was crying out for me to go darker, as it tends to do at different intervals throughout the year (usually every 6 months). Length-wise I'm going for long locks this year...I always end up with shoulder-length hair, so I am changing that too.

MOVIES: I saw Leap Year today and I loved it! I want to go to Ireland and meet my dream man too!!! haha...but then again, I also want to go to the UK because I think that my dream guy might be there, fabulous British accent included. Then again Robert Pattinson AND Ed Westwick are already in the US, in which case I would only have to travel as far as Los Angeles or New York in order to accomplish my mission!!! lol. All in all, Leap Year was adorable and it was fun seeing it with my 2 fantastic sisters and brother-in-law(who was forced to go with us...lol).

The weather here is at its coldest...and of course, I LOVE IT. I am fond of any weather that allows me to wear coats, boots, scarves, and gloves...like I need an excuse anyway, I LIVE IN SCARVES.

Well, off to deep, deep slumber I go. Guten nacht everyone and ttyl!
