Here and There

There is a certain website out there in the land of internet that has caught on like a wildfire. Seriously. If I didn't have to work and/or people just gave me money to sit around all day to play on this website, I probably, maybe would. Okay, maybe not all day. Anyway, Pinterest is probably one of the biggest time sucks out there. And I mean that in the kindest of ways. Basically, it's a virtual pin board for anything crafty, holiday ideas, clothes you want to try, recipes that make you salivate just thinking about them. It takes the manual labor out of the equation. No scissors. No glue. No buying poster boards. For OCD people like me, Pinterest keeps it all stored in one spot and arranges any post into the category of my choosing. 

Anyhow, the whole point of me sharing this, is that on one of my pin boards, there is a certain pin that has reached epic proportions. I mean for someone who isn't in the business of photography or doing anything creative as a full time job, it's pretty epic for me. Here is the pin from my "The Geek In Me" board:


This pin has reached 688 repins, 163 likes and  23 comments since I posted it just over a month ago. Again, for someone who has to work 40 hours a week, it amazes me that that many people have repinned such a silly thing. It makes me think 2 things: 1. wow...people don't have anything better to do? and 2. Man, I'm so cool. I can't wait to find another pin that gets that much attention. 

To add to the list of things that I'm currently in love with: 

anything and everything by Ennio Morricone including:
The Mission: Gabriel's Oboe
The Mission: The Falls
Sergio Leone Suite in it's entirety
Giuseppe Tornatore Suite in it's entirety
(look them up. I'm sure they're on youtube)

I Won't Give Up 
by Jason Mraz



I'm not entirely crazy about the video, but the sentiments are amazing.

And....

Fix You
by Coldplay 
as sung by Glee




And that, my friends, is the end. 
Until next time.

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...

No time

It's been roughly 5 weeks since I last posted anything. Work and school have almost literally sucked the life out of me. My dad and I just got internet at the house, which does make things a lot easier. Even then...I really don't have time to do any real studying. Here's a typical day for me: 7 a.m. alarm goes off. try to wake up. press snooze a couple of times. wouldn't be human if i didn't, right? 7:15 a.m. actually get out of bed 7:20 a.m. shower 7:30 a.m. get dressed for work 7:40 a.m. try to remember to: fill my water bottle grab a can of soup & crackers for lunch grab CNA books & supplies eat something on the way out the door then curse myself for forgetting to grab my smock and name tag. unlock/lock the front door, again. 7:45 a.m. drive to work 8 a.m - 4 p.m work 4 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. take coworker(s) home. 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. CNA class 9:15 p.m. change into pj's. find s...

Hooray!

I've lost 9.2 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm excited! The picture really doesn't have anything to do with weight loss per se, but it does have the word reduce on it and I took the picture, so I'm putting it up. :-]
