Happy Halloween!!

Seeing as Halloween more often that not falls on a "school night", I have gotten used to dressing up for Halloween more than once. This year Halloween fell on a Friday (woot!). Sticking with tradition I still dressed up twice, once for work and once for the evening of light debauchery.

At work my team got together and decided that we would all dress as burglers at work.

Work Halloween...The Fraud Team as thieves.



Later that night me and the roomie got ready, met H and hit the town!





So a goth chick, a flower child and a flapper walk into a bar ...

Bzzzz...

Today I drank coffee with caffeine (yesterday I drank decaf so I didn't count it as cheating). I lasted like 48 hours. I suck.

The boss lady has suggested that going into holiday may not be the best time to try quitting coffee especially when you have to be at work at 6:30AM. I agreed. The no coffee rule will be thought out better and resumed as part of new years resolution 2009.

Stay tuned ...

In other news, my biggest loser competition is not going so well on the scale however I have kicked ass in the gym this week. Literally. I let my beloved trainer at 24 know last week that my problem area is well, ass. I have a ghetto booty. I told him I wanted to do nothing but butt work outs this week ... and thus ass week was born. It was painful and fabulous at the same time.

Oh, ass week. Let's just say I feel the burn.

I quit.

Today I have declared that I will quit coffee again. As some may know after getting sick last year I didn't touch the stuff for almost a year. This past March I dated a bad influence who got me back into it ... and my work got an espresso machine that I just can't turn down. But no longer! I'm going to need all the help I can get on that one.

In bigger news (hehe) I have officially started my Biggest Loser competition with my good friend JL. Since we're separated by 3,000 miles we are competing based on trust. Weigh-ins will be Mondays. I need the extra motivation to get my butt in gear. My goal is to not only get back to eating better but also hit the gym 4-5 times a week for the rest of the year. I'm also taking a booze break after Halloween.

Wish me luck!

So Sexy it Hurts

In honor of me getting my computer back this afternoon I will grace you with 4 minutes of sexy. Just can't get enough of Josh Turner's voice... and that smile! It is so sexy it hurts.

I'm Alive

It has been awhile since I've posted and I have some juicy things to write about but sadly my lap top decided to commit suicide over the weekend and is now spending some quality time with the Geek Squad at Best Buy. This leaves me with few opportunities to post as work is ridiculously busy and I have no time at all even breathe let alone play on blogger.

I am kind of torn about the whole no computer thing. On one hand its gotten me to read more of my current book "Wicked" (which everyone should read). But on the other hand, I feel so out of the loop. How did we survive before Internet?

Another one bites the dust....

Last Thursday I took off on quite the adventure. I traveled back to the east coast to do some leaf peeping, some college days reminiscing, accomplish some goals and most importantly to attend Zach and Karen's wedding.

Now, I have to take a moment to briefly discuss my 2008 goals. I had 3. One was to have more fun, which I have been overly successful at keeping. The other two were created while in South Lake Tahoe back in January with the roomie (the specifics of which will remain confidential). This tangent is only important because during that trip we befriended our Hard Rock Cafe waiter and even hung out with him at the bar the second night. I saw our HRC friend in the airport on my layover on the way to CT and little did I know that it foreshadowed the events to follow. Got to love it when things come full circle.

The leafs were peeped, the reminiscing with both coastie friends and shannon & joel was fantastic, goals were most certainly met in a swift manner (go team), the wedding was beautiful, and the reception was drunken and fun fun fun. It was so great to finally meet Karen and it is always fun to see Zach. CONGRATULATIONS!

VP Debate

Bowling Champion

Okay, I lied. I kind of suck at bowling.

Last night me and the roomie went bowling on a quasi-double date. So Grease era, I know. Despite considering cancellation due to tiredness earlier in the day I actually had a lot of fun. They are good company for certain.

I also got challenged (ok fine, I did the challenging) to a DDR dance off and totally dominated.
