A Day in the Life- Wednesday #1

Alright- Wednesdays are going to be a progression of pictures. Hopefully, this will prove more interesting when I'm in Chile, but a girl has to practice, right? So until the end of January, you're going to be stuck with these mundane shots of a poor graduated girl with a part-time job!

Today was a sleepy Wednesday with a serious sinus headache on the side.  Seeing as I had the day off, I planned to cross through many of the things on my ever expanding to-do list.  Seriously, it seems like the more time I have, the less I get done!

sleepy head. headache. 7:30am.

I got my Mac in from UPS this afternoon which only proved to be a distraction from my "to do" list. However, I'll consider transferring files and just trying to figure out how this thing works as an accomplishment.

can you see the foot print on the mac box?

I ran a couple of errands today, trying to make some head way on my Christmas list. I hopped in my car to Hobby Lobby to pick up some ceramic paint. Then found these bargain mugs on clearance at Ross. So, I'm in love with etsy.com and all its talented artisans!  I was inspired by some shops to create my own mustache mugs. Can I say ironic? And need I remind you how much I love irony?

IRONY- weapon of choice

Okay, okay. I'm pretty bored with this post, too. BUT this will get better in time, I promise. Alright, one last photo. This is a treat. A macbook photobooth picture along with a "how to."

hott-with 2 t's, of course

How to Take a Hott/Haute Macbook Photo (ie. what I've learned from girls on facebook)

1. Find optimal lighting

2. Distort face such as pursing lips, squinting eyes, extending chin, etc.

3. Add some sort of cute prop

4. Make up, make up, and more make up for best results

5. The less it looks like the real you, the better.

Oh how I jest! On a more serious note, I've come to realize that facebook is a necessary evil. But it's definitely evil.

Dilemmas!

I have these dumb dilemmas. Seriously, they are so dumb, fo' real. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and I can admit that I am grateful these simple issues are my current struggles. So many others have such difficult decisions to make!

1. Half marathon- I'll begin with this: I am so stunned that I have upped my mileage to 8. Really, really? Me, me? YES! I may possibly be doing a little Rocky sequence in my mind currently. Eye of the Tiger. Now that my body has recovered from a cold and stomach virus, this random croupy cough has attached my respiratory system. Usually, I'm the annoying girl that says to you when you're sick, "oh, I never get sick, the last time was 10 months ago." Well, I've been humbled on the account that I've been sick three times in a row. These past two and a half weeks have been pretty critical to my training. I haven't felt motivated at all to run since I feel so tired and just plain sick- so, I haven't. I think I'm going to sit this one out, boys. Being such a miser, I don't know what I hate more not completing an attainable goal or losing the money I spent.

My first 5K! 3.6.10

2. Macbook Pro or Macbook Air- I've decided to forgo the iPhone 4. I'm going to grab a cheap go-phone down in Chile and cancel my plan with AT&T, here. Okay, so this means I have a little room to spare some cash! Woohoo! Like a good little consumer, I've been doing my internet research. It sounds like the only benefit to the Macbook Air is it's size. This would be an appropriate investment, but still it's a lot of freaking money. Let me say this: I have saved for a long time, and this is not a light decision that I can make on the whim of my parent's credit card.

3. MY CAT- Enough complaining about this issue! I'm still in the middle of trying to find a placement for her and for how long.  

Avery. LOVE.

4. Facebook- Oh man. Truly, it's a great way to stay in contact with people. However, here's my beef. (Can I say that since I'm a vegetarian?) I strongly believe that anything personally written or typed should also be something that can be verbalized. We've all been guilty of the emotionally charged update or the holy-than-thou status at least once in our social networking days. I'm so sick of reading them. Plus, it's such a time waster!

Hopefully, I didn't bore you to death! Alrighty, my loves, any suggestions for me?  I feel like I had a little updating to do before I fall into a routine posting.  But then again, my life doesn't feel very routine.
