any resolutions? how you doing with sale shopping? i seem to recall you saying you were gonna experience your first xmas day celebrations with friends - how'd it go?
the christmas(es) were so much fun! two friends invited me over and i went to both. so much food. so much fun. i really enjoyed 'em.
i've been stalking lots of home/furniture sales cuz i'm moving in a month. trying to have all "grown up" stuff/furniture, which is proving to be quite expensive, naturally.
how are you?? do you have resolutions? i don't really do those..
i had wished for a "calm and utterly uneventful 2015" and it's been everything but. lol smh

i spend many hours on interior design sites & pinterest. tell me more, what have you got so far? what do you need? i think i'm in the wrong career.
uh i don't have specific resolutions but i have general aims like 'drink less, work out more' but that's more of a constant goal than a new year thing! haha. Although i think i'm gonna get a p/t again. Do you still use one?
why has the year got off to an eventful & non-peaceful start?

i'm soooo indecisive and want everything. sometimes i want a moroccan/turkish themed room. then i want a beachy one. then i want an almost WASPY hamptons look. i'm a fucking mess.
i need someone to just do it and be liek "aight, this is ur place now. enjoy" lol.
the problem is that it's a new building and i chose the place based on a bueprint. i FINALLY get to see it this friday, at which pt i can get the bigger pieces like couches, a bed, etc.
i've got a full kitchen. minus this blender i really want but costs a grip. since when are blenders so damn expensive??

i only have a few PT sessions left which i'm hoarding. i'm gonna use them as 'tune up'. i've been surprisingly good on my own. let's hope it lasts lol.

just move in and feel the space for a while. you don't have to get everything all at once - in fact i think it's better to wait until you find stuff that you really like rather than feeling you need to get everything & have it immediately finished. and it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive with all those different themes - you can find a way to bring elements of different styles together. main thing is that you like it & it's functional. also, just make a note of spaces/pieces that you like - could be in magazines, other people's homes, even public places, and steal their ideas! lol
haha leave your nye skeletons/bones in the past. i don't think the new year starts until AFTER the party/drunken shenanigans are over!
13. "you don't make posts anymore tho, do u?" In response to Reply # 12
maybe i missed 'em
i've kind of fallen in ... like.. with resistance training so i alternate leg & lower back and upper body days. mostly weight machines with some free weights stuff thrown in.
my new form of cardio is doing 20 mins of 1-2 minute sprints. much more challenging IMO and i'm not wasting an hour on a treadmill, which is torture to me.
i used to go to spin classes which i loved, but that gym closed down and this new one doesn't have great classes. womp.

I didn't think I would enjoy running much when I started but I've come to love it. I only run on tracks now since I need that added element of pushing forward versus running in place. I'm very lucky that my local Parks Dept recreational center has an indoor track and also have an outdoor track within a short walking distance of my place when the weather gets nicer. The last time I ran on a treadmill I wanted to fall off the face of the earth, I hated it that much.
I kept the posts going in GD for a spell then migrated over to Organix when that board was created. Every Monday I try to put up that week's post, there's one for this week up right now. Feel free to jump back in at any time!
41. "Man listen...I've taken many drugs over the years for migraines still " In response to Reply # 31
nothing offers the relief that a BC/Goody's does.
BC more than Goody though because they have caffeine which pushes it through your system quicker. I don't even drink sodas but I'll quickly drink a monster energy drink or a coke + a BC when I have a migraine.
52. "whatever....it works. I've stopped myself from throwin' many a " In response to Reply # 48
person out of a window due to a b/c powder.
And since bills don't stop because of a sudden migraine, I often have to opt for quick relief, though one time I had to go to the emergency room because I had a migraine that was totally uncontrollable....
i just took a test on hydraulics and pneumatics (ask what the hell that is and i couldn't tell ya) and it's the middle of the week so i'm operating on fumes right now and my brain is fried.
i got a long stretch ahead of me and i'm not looking forward to it. i saw some poutine on a menu somewhere down here and i was "ahhhh...they're invading again" LOL
45. "yeah i've had to up the zoom everywhere lol. like some old broad" In response to Reply # 29
straining my eyes would bring 'em on much quicker
sigh.
they need a cure for this shit. ever been to a chiropractor? it's the only route i haven't gone yet. was thinking about it the other day b/c when i get migrianes, i also have an overwhelming urge to crack my back/stretch. i dunno if there's a correlation. i'm just desperate.
62. "Actually yes, just not Toronto. " In response to Reply # 53
Then again maybe I did. When I was a kid I went to Detroit. And our relatives there drove us into Canada. So whatever part of Canada is near Detroit, been there.
Also I went on an Alaska cruise two years ago and one of the ports was British Columbia. Man, that place was clean. Even the bums on the street were relatively clean.
But what freaked me out was the food court in the mall. ______________________________________________________________________________
