I Like

Genius Divas.

Today was a really crappy day at work. There was more work to go around than people and everyone was on edge. As an added bonus, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed too. When coworkers are on edge they tend to get snappy, and I hate to admit it, but I get snappy too. I stayed longer than I planned too and I am fairly certain fire was coming out my ears when I walked out the door.

Since I haven’t been to the gym all week, tonight seemed as good a night as any. I missed the turn for the pretty downtown gym and found myself on the highway, which added to my grumpiness. So I went to the tiny gym by my house.

Since itunes came out with the Genius playlist, I have been a fan. If you haven’t updated your itunes to do this, you need to quit everything and DO IT. Basically, you can choose a song that you are into and it makes a playlist around songs similar to that song. Tonight I went with old school Destiny’s Child. Bugaboo brought me a play list of Christina’s Dirty, Britney’s Toxic, Mariah’s Shake it Off, Feist’s 1234, Beyonce’s Check Up On It and strangely Celine’s My Heart Will Go On (disclaimer: sometimes it doesn’t match songs so well). I ran. I ran on a treadmill. I ran for 5o minutes. I typically run for 10 minutes or so and then walk and then run and so on. Divas heal and motivate. These women fixed my day. It may have been the endorphins or whatever from pushing myself, but I will thank the Divas.

Bad day healed.

Internet!

We have had and awful time keeping the Internet working since we moved. It is in my roommates name, so when I call to complain, I have to pretend to be her. This takes a lot of effort on my part because I’m an awful liar. The last time I called they told me it was probably the router. The router is only about a month old and I was reluctant to call yet another 1-800 number. Today I got home from work and Leah changed out the cable splitter. Now I have the world wide web at my fingertips. It seems ridiculous that we wasted so much time without it and we both spent so much time on the phone, when it was an overlooked old splitter.

I have never appreciated the Internet so much. I am currently downloading all the podcasts I’ve missed, catching up on some Facebook time, adding library Cd’s, updating my iPhone, and grinning from ear to ear.

I love the Internet. Thank you for working in my home.

The Chocolate Bar.

Last night I met Christine and Leah at The Chocolate Bar. The Oswalt’s introduced me to it after a play last Christmas (I have to give credit where it is due). Ever since then I have been in love with the place. They have ice cream, cakes, cheesecake, ice cream and anything and everything covered in chocolate. Before sitting down to some Uncle Darryl’s choc cake, we visited the candy counter. I got a chocolate covered caramel, a chocolate covered oreo and a bag of chocolate covered pecans. These sweets will stay in my drawer at work to help me get through the rest of the week. The cake is more than enough for three people, and I think I enjoy eating cake and drinking milk more than meeting people for dinner. Sharing dessert is just fun. If only it was good for me….

Boots are expensive.

I’ve done some research now. Boots aren’t cheap. And Michelle will be there to guide and help in the boot search. Michelle is a lifelong Texan, owns boots, hats, and even has something called a “hat band.” Now I just hope that there will be some kind of super sale when we get there and these pretty things are all at bargain prices.
