I have to leave in 45 minutes. In a half-assed attempt at poorly thought out New Year's resolutions, I signed up for a hot yoga class two weeks ago. I actually signed up for two, then I skipped it last week cause I didn't get up early enough.

Oh yeah, the class is at noon. So that's my legacy so far this year, noon is too early to roll out of bed.

Anyway, I skipped last week and if I skip again this week, they'll charge me $20. So I face a big decision - lazy or cheap? And cheap wins, so in 39 minutes I will be sitting in a 110 degree room, trying not to throw up or pass out. (help me)

It's a good thing another resolution is not caring what others think of me. Along with wearing red lipstick and having some money once in a while and not being lazy.

(As an aside. I wore red lipstick out last night, but I worried about what other people were thinking about me the whole time, so we'll call that a draw.)

Also, sorry about that disastrous Fall Challenge. What a disappointment.

If I make it through today, I'll let you know how it goes. Here's to staying conscious!

the next six

It's almost comical how unreliable I am. Or perhaps it's gone way past that and on to the completely  other side, I have become reliably unreliable. Either way, my apologies. But it is still fall and I'm gonna do this dammit! So here are the next six: 4. BOOT SOCKS! I channeled fall through fashion today - a cream colored sweater, navy leggings, and brown boots (AND BOOT SOCKS!).   5. Fall cleaning! Definitely not one of my favorite things in the moment, but there's no better way to usher in a new season than by ushering out all the crap you've accumulated since the beginning of the last one. This was, of course, followed by a brower with a fall seasonal (because you have to get clean after you clean, and beer makes any shower better). 6. On Saturday, Mindy and I drove down to Fisher. It was hard not to notice fall, as it's hanging out all along Highway 57 South. Also, I bought Count Chocula and a black cat walked in front of us on our way home...

sixteen hours

My phone broke Monday night.  I tried to upload the new apple operating system and, long story short, it erased everything on my phone and restored it to factory settings.  Again, keeping this to the short version let's just let it suffice to say that I wasn't an idiot (this time) and it wasn't a matter of simply resetting the phone and backing it up.  So I was phoneless.  In 2011.  I was against getting an iPhone at first.  I didn't want to be constantly connected; checking my email and playing angry birds while simultaneously having a conversation and driving my car on a 6 lane highway.  Weird.  That said, my two previous phones had their own slight personality glitches - the first literally had to be plugged into the wall to hold a charge (and for me to hold a conversation) and the second worked fine, as long as you didn't need to use the 4 key.  So it was time. I like to think I'm still not the emailing, game playi...

home is where you unload all of your stuff

I have some seriously cool and supportive friends that made this giant, somewhat stressful and slightly uncomfortable step into the intrawebs of space quite pleasant actually.  I thank you.  Some of you have inquired as to our schlep to Chicago, so here you are.  It's long.  Like our first week. The First Week We moved in Monday, August 1.  The Saturday before we packed up everything in our apartment in D.C., begged and pleaded with our friends to help us load it all into the truck on a 99 degree day, and popped our air mattress because someone filled it with too much air.  It was me.  I hate waking up in the middle of the night with my ass on the floor and my head and legs propped up like some defunct hospital bed.  Oops.  Sunday we woke up and drove, separately, the 13 hours to Urbana.  We only got lost once and waited until we were in Illinois to do it.    Monday we woke up, d...
