bad hair morning

Just in case you didn't already know, but its a REALLY bad idea to:

try a new hair style when you're already running late for work...


(slight exaggeration of what my hair would have looked like had I left it... without the roots though, of course)

This morning I didn't want to straighten my hair OR wear it curly (I know, lazy!). So I decided to try this new way of styling. B.A.D. idea-- I now how people with naturally tight curly hair feels in the morning. Not to say trying new things is a bad thing, just make sure you have the time. The time that you "save" to do your new doo is quickly used up when you realize you still have to wait for the straightener to heat up to undo what you shouldn't have done in the first place.

I made to work, slightly late, with nice straight hair. I should just except what can and can't be done with my mop.

PS-- Going on vacation next week to Texas with the guy... yay!

Wii.Diculous.

Have you ever heard about people playing with a Wii? I've never liked video games and honestly think they are pointless, but recently I was able to bring a Wii home to test out. Umm... Can I say ABSOLUTE FUN! I played the sports game which can be quite addicting. On Sunday, the guy and I started playing and really got into it. 5 hours later we realized why the game kept telling us to take a break and go outside! We totally lost track of time! Lots of fun! Lots of laughs!

The next day though... Wow! No more laughing... My arm seemed a little sore when I woke up. By the end of the work day I was wiidiculously sore! Having the exercise science degree that I have, (the one I practice in theory) I know I should work out those muscles again or the soreness will be worse the following day. So, of course, I went straight from work to play some more. Bowling is my favorite game and I promise you, that small little controller weighed as much as a bowling ball!

PS-- Saw Mama Mia last night and loved loved it! Great movie and great soundtrack!
if you change your mind, I'm the first in line... honey I'm still free. take a chance on me...
I'll be singing for months! :)

Did Somebody Turn the Heat On?

I can feel them.
Beads of sweat are starting to form.
I can feel them. I know that's a bit nasty, but I think you should know.
Am I at the beach or outside on vacation, you ask?
I wish. To be by the pool would be refreshing. Sadly I am at work. No, I am not a glutton for punishment with my heat on. The air has decided to stop working. No big deal right? No! Today is predicted to be THE hottest yet! Yay! I literally feel like a character from that John Grisham movie set in Mississippi. I always laughed at the ridiculousness of the sweaty people in movies located in Mississippi, but honestly it's no exaggeration!
I just walked to the post office so that I could experience the true heat of the day and appreciate the coolness still left in my office. I didn't take into account the amazing cool air IN the post office, for once I wasn't hurrying to get of there. I didn't want to leave! But, to keep looking like a crazy, I did.

Wonder what other errand I can run that has air conditioning?....
