changes in life... particularly mine

so this may come as a shock to some of you, but i've moved. it's official now. if you're curious, you can check the place out yourself. it's called the warehouse.

this means i'm completely phoneless for the moment, so if you want to get in touch you'll have to rely on good old emails or aim. i'm living with three girls i have yet to meet, and i must admit, moving in today made me feel a tad like goldilocks intruding on the three bears. hopefully this will work out. i have a pretty good feeling about it though. the place is really nice and there's a gym on the first floor, so there's no more excuses for failing to get my fat ass in shape =) so that's about the only big thing that's happened recently.

so something funny happened the other day. amidst the swarms of phone calls i received yesterday, the last one i got was from the mary kay company. weird, huh? even weirder: i won a raffle i entered randomly a few weeks before. i ended up winning a free "pampering party" for me and up to 5 of my friends and $50 worth of Mary Kay product. i was highly amused. i don't even have 5 female friends. however i had the fabulous idea of using it as a sort of icebreaker for my new roommates since they look like the type of girls that would appreciate it ;) oh yeah, did i mention they were all proud members of alpha kappa delta????

hahahaha. this will be interesting. stay tuned....

happy new year!

so i had a number of potential resolutions to make for 2006, and as i'm sure you could predict, keeping up with my blog WAS one of them. so here's to the first of (hopefully) many blog posts for this marvelous new year! it really is a great day to start the new year off with. sunny, warm, slight breeze... ahhhh.... i'm gonna have to go for a walk later. which brings me to my next resolution: getting my fat ass in shape! i did "ok" last year, but i wasn't as faithful to it as i should have been. so hopefully this year i'll be a little better at it. i'm hoping that moving to a new place closer to campus should be conducive to my plan. for those of you that don't know yet, i am moving (a.s.a.p.) due to unforeseen circumstances (actually they were slightly foreseen, but still...).

so i made it! it was a long, extremely difficult semester in a number of ways, most of which you all are aware of, but here i am--still intact mentally, emotionally, and physically. hell, even financially! i have $21.56 to last me until january 9th, but i think i'll be ok. granted, i am about $400 in debt, but that's another story...

in other news, i'm considering a resolution that involves me featuring "band of the week" on this blog, or perhaps another one. i'm sure every once in a while i'll come up with something that someone likes =)

until next time...
