Holidays

So, these holidays have clearly been very busy...and I am sooo sorry I haven't been around to post!! But they have also been very wonderful. I got some great gifts & gave some fun presents as well. I'm Jewish, so I celebrated Hannukah and since my boyfriend is not, we celebrated Christmas as well. I can honestly say this was my first real Christmas with waking up early to go open gifts that were left under the tree. It was fun :-) and I'm very glad I got to experience it. My favorite gift had to be the ornament from my boyfriend:

They spelled my name wrong, but I loved it so much that I didn't care!! I also got a few of my favorite movies that I've been wanting:

I am absolutely obsessed with Pitch Perfect at this point in time...so this gift was too perfect!! I also got a BUNCH of NC State stuff, which is always the best gift for me. Hehe

As for my boyfriend, he got a bluetooth for his Playstation 3, some movies, some board games (we play a LOT of board games), and some other random stuff.

The rest of the day was spent out in the country at his dads house, just relaxing and munching on snacks and drinking. It was a very nice day :-)

What did ya'll get?? How was your Christmas?? I hope it was absolutely wonderful, full of family & friends!!

I know I'm getting older because...

...I used to LIVE for going out on Saturdays. Now, sitting at home with a bottle of wine & watching a movie or playing a board game sounds like an INCREDIBLE weekend to me.

*sigh*

GLEE THE 3D MOVIE!!

If you've been reading for awhile & know me at all...you know that I spell life G-L-E-E!! So it should be no surprise that I went to the midnight premier of the Glee 3D movie last night!!

AHH!! AMAZING!!

I was sooo happy to be watching my faves up close & it really did feel like I got to go to the concert (which I missed because of work). MARK MY WORD--I WILL BE AT GLEE LIVE NEXT YEAR!!

In other news...I leave for vacation today. Game plan is to still workout daily (luckily, my mom will DEF wanna jog/walk with me on the BEACH) & enjoy myself food wise...but not overdo it. I only maintained this week...but that's better than a gain!!

Thanks so much for ya'lls comments & support :-) It makes me feel so good to know ya'll got my back!!

P.S. Will work on commenting ASAP!! So sorry I haven't been...it's been a rough few weeks.

When I Look At You

This video makes me cry everytime because I always remember the whole movie of The Last Song. Plus, as ya'll know...I LOVE Miley. So enjoy...it's actually a very beautiful song.

Day Off!!

First day off in FOREVER. When I say day off, I mean off from work AND school.

And I am spending this day catching up on REST!! I'm so exhausted all the time that I just need a day to relax. I'm going to do pilates at some point today, but at my own leisure. I have nowhere to be & nothing I really have to do.

I'm probably going to pop in some scary movies (I love themmmmmm) and just lay back and rest. Hopefully, when I feel less exhausted this week because of today, it'll give me the energy to actually focus on my weight loss. I feel like I got off track this week just because I've had so much going on. I forgot how stressful school can get so quickly.

I feel like I'm just rambling in this post. Haha--and I'm totally okay with that. I don't have to think today, for once.

I hope everyone else is having a wonderful labor day!! (or labor-less day, I suppose)

Award

Somebody sent me an award!! I'm super excited about this because it means people are reading!! So thank you!!

 

Here are the rules:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award.

2. Share seven things about yourself.

3. Nominate fifteen newly discovered blogs.

4. Let your nominees know about the award.

1) Thank you, Kelly!! I really appreciate this :-) I love knowing that people are actually reading this because it makes me feel like I CAN do this!! Kelly's blog is: Life in the Fat Lane for all of those who haven't read it.

2) Seven things about myself:

• I am about to start my 5th year (or victory lap, as I like to think of it) at NC State in Raleigh, NC
• One of my favorite places in the world is Myrtle Beach, SC and I go every year with family & friends
• GLEE and MILEY CYRUS are my obsession (if you didn't hear about that in my previous post from the weekend...just figured I should state it again)
• I LOVE horror movies!! There's just something about scaring myself that I really enjoy for some weird reason.
• I work at Aerosoles and absolutely love it. My co-workers are so much fun to be around & I love the shoes we sell!!
• My biggest fear is snakes. I have a full on phobia about them & they freak me out just seeing pictures or hearing about them.
• Phantom of the Opera is my favorite movie--but I LOVE musicals in general. They cheer me up when I'm down!!

3) Well, naming 15 newly discovered blogs is tough...so I'm gonna name the ones that I follow pretty religiously (hehe...thanks for the idea, Kelly!!). So...in no particular order:

Another Day at Work...

Hey everyone!!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. I was at work ALL day and then went straight to see Toy Story 3 with my friend. CUTE MOVIE!! And yes...I cried. You just can't but to cry! It's just soo sweet!!

So far, it's been a good weekend. I love my job, so I never really mind working, although I must admit, after the rush we had yesterday, my feet are SWOLLEN from being on them for so long!! But, somebody needs to sell these shoes :-)

Back to work today for a full day shift--open to close. Exciting, I know!? Hehe...then probably just crashing early. Gonna try to get a workout in before passing out. I've been so so tired lately and I don't know what's wrong with me. It's definitely made it harder to work out & get through the day in general. Any ideas on how to perk up??

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!

xoxo
