Brain Dump

1.  My brain is a huge mess of "Waaaaaaaaaa" tonight from watching the same 3 episodes of "On the Fly" and Jenna Marbles videos all night.

2.  When I go in the shower with eye make-up on, I come out looking like a sad raccoon.

vs.



3. You can see up my nose in that picture.


4.  I am listening to 2 boys on Skype argue about where to put pizza in the oven and how to operate said oven.  "Why would you hang it on the oven?"  "Because it reminds me of home!" Boys are silly.

5.  One of those 2 boys is Boyfriend, who is currently unavailable.  Thus the Skype.  I mainly watch him play Diablo while he watches me stare at the computer like a hypnotic loon.

6.  Summer sales made me a very happy person today. I think I tried on the entire sale section of The Limited.

7.  I got creative/bored tonight and painted all of my keys with nail polish tonight so I could tell them apart more easily. Now all of my keys are stuck together.

8.  I'm still new to this running thing, so I don't quite know what I'm supposed to do on the days that I take a break from running.  Today was one of those rest days.  I shopped and then ate McDonald's.

9.  Boyfriend was eating a pizza on Skype and was chewing with his mouth open (a sund which drives me up the freaking wall!).  So I kindly asked him to chew with is mouth closed.  He thought he would be clever and mute it so that I couldn't hear anything.  So I thought I would be clever and hang up on him, expecting him to call me back.  Well, that plan back fired.  Boyfriend never called me back.  Now I'm super sad, but also to stubborn to call him again with my tail between my legs.

10.  Woah!  Just kidding.  Boyfriend called me back.  Good things come to those who wait.  Or those who are stubborn.

11.  My room is a freaking mess.  I don't even know where all this stuff came from.  I started to clean it and then kind of hit a wall. I just can't make myself do any more work, despite the fact that my clean underwear supply is getting dangerously low.

12.  I think I'm going to order Jimmy John's even though I didn't run and I've already had McDonald's today and it is 1:00 in the morning.

13.  I ordered Jimmy John's.  Now I need to find clean pants to put on so the JJs delivery guy doesn't sue me for sexual harassment when he gets here.  Or vomit on my sandwich.

14. I can't end a list on #13.  So please enjoy this mantee.

Brain Dump

1.  This past week has to have been one of the most frustrating, stressful, emotional weeks of my life.  I have yelled, screamed, cried and cursed so much.  I'm so glad it's over and I'm optimistic that this coming week will be better.

2.  Five years after I started doing theatre at Baton Rouge Little Theater, I have FINALLY gotten all of my show posters framed and hung up on my wall.  The only poster missing is the poster from Evita, which I did in September 2009 (but I should be getting that one soon :D ).  It's nice to have all of these on the wall as a reminder of how far I've come and how much I really do have to be thankful for. (And lots of thanks to my mom and dad for helping me hang them!)

3.  Speaking of theatre, I'm going to be playing Tintinabula, one of the Courtesans, in Baton Rouge Little Theater's  upcoming production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.  I haven't done any theatre in over a year (and haven't done a musical in over 2 years!) so I'm excited to be involved again.  I'm sure you'll be hearing all about it in the coming weeks.  It opens on March 9. 

4.  I had a lot of fun watching the SAG awards and eating soup and salad tonight with some friends.  I got to try a Pinterest recipe, which is always exciting!  Keep an eye out for a blog post with pictures and recipes. :)

5.  I need a new manicure.  

6.  I'm getting a new ring this week.  I'm super excited :) The stone was given to me by a coworker of mine who is very special to me and my mom helped me pick out the setting.  Expect pictures.

7.  I'm starting to knit to decompress.  I found an old project that I started on a while back and am adding a few rows to it every night before I go to sleep.  It's going to be a hot pink scarf.  But it's not very good and I would never wear it, so I'm going to give it to my dog when it's done.  He needs a scarf on those Baton Rouge winter walks. :) 

8.  I felt really sick on Friday, so I came home and watched The Office on Netflix in bed all day. Now, I can't stop watching until I've seen them all.  I personally think John Krasinski married the wrong Emily.  He totally meant to marry me, not Emily Blunt.  

9.  I am really jealous of Emily Blunt.

10. I have almost completely cut caffeine out of my diet, which is a huge accomplishment for me.  I've been having some anxiety issues lately and all the doctors I've been to have recommended keeping caffeine to a minimum to help with those issues.  I was surprised at how little trouble I've had with it.  Every now and then I'll get a really bad caffeine headache and have to have a Diet Coke, but for the most part, I just switched to Caffeine Free Diet Coke with no problem.  And, surprise surprise, I've been sleeping a little better too.  It's been a nice transition.  

11.  I had lunch with my mom and dad at Jimmy John's today.  Because I knew I'd be eating a lot tonight, I decided to try my regular Turkey Tom as an Unwich to cut back calories, meaning that, instead of using bread, the sandwich is wrapped in lettuce.  I was surprised at how good it was!  I mean, it's hard to beat the amazing bread that Jimmy John's has, but the Unwich was very satisfying and I can definitely see myself ordering it a lot more in the future!  AND it was only 273 calories.  The regular sandwich is 515 calories.  Not bad!

Yum!

12.   Albertson's makes the best donuts.  I think Krispy Kremes are too sweet.  I was somehow able to convince my parents to get a dozen last night and we split them.  So now there are 5 Albertson's Donuts in my kitchen and I have successfully avoided them all day.  I should reward my self control with a donut tomorrow morning :)

Night y'all!
