My Cat is an Asshole

Yes, that is the button on my shirt she's trying to pull off.

I Don't Know Why

But I love this picture... even though I look ridiculous and you can only see about three quarters of my head.

All Psyched Up!

Attempting to be as positive as possible in the face of a) having to come home from vacation and b) having to spend 11 hours traveling.

Don't worry. I was stopped at a stoplight.

Run Streaking in the Winter plus Miscellaneous Thoughts

So after the new year I committed to running every day until I go to Cancun (sidenote: SO EXCITED). It seemed like a good idea at the time, but that's because it was unseasonably warm (upper thirties, lower forties) here at the time. Now that it's down to normal January temps (teens) it doesn't seem like such a good idea anymore, but I'm dedicated. On the cold days, I'll just make them shorties. It really is easier for me to run when there's not a question of whether or not I'm putting on my running gear and heading out, just how far I decide to go. Plus, when I get back I'll finally suck it up and join the gym up the street with the money my parents gave me for Christmas to do just that.

The consistent running also seems to be helping me manage my stress with starting the new job. I know I'm still working with the same people and doing almost all the same things, but changing companies, changing bosses and being unsure of the future is still somewhat stressful. So far so good though. It seems like it really is going to be a true tech company that happens to be located in the midwest. I hope I'm right!

Can't Believe I Forgot this One.

ROAR!

Sorry!

Sorry the posts are going to be so limited this week. Someone else has temporarily commandeered my phone for the next few days because it has better streaming capabilities than theirs. I'll try and sneak in a couple random pictures when I have it though!

True Stories from @ZodiacFacts

As a #Virgo you seldom make the first move and may wait an eternity for signs that someone likes you.


SO TRUE. Not sure if its because I'm a Virgo, or just because I'm me, but this describes me well.

Finally - I Decided My 2012 Resolution

I never do huge resolutions, and I don't do them every year. About ten years ago I made the resolution that I was going to floss my teeth at least once, six days a week, I'm still doing it!

This year, I decided I'm going to use more of my vacation time at work. I get 200 hours of what is essentially PTO (earned time off) but I have a random 40 carried over from previous years for a grand total of 240, plus 24 hours of floating holidays (handed out at the beginning of the year, no earning required). Last year, I used only 80 of my PTO hours, and all of my floating holidays. That's less than half of what I could have.

So, get ready for some adventures! Or maybe some surgeries...

Cat Attack

Yep. Sitting in the bathtub, cat walks behind me, almost falls (clawfoot tub) and uses my shoulder to try and save herself. Ouch!

DONUTS!

Ready, Set, Tea Time Go!

I Ran Into the New Year

A little bit belated on the post, but for someone who was off of work I've been plenty busy! Ran this one with Pete, and Ross was nice enough to play DD for us since the reward afterward was two beers and a bottle of champagne a piece. we stopped at Sonic on the way back, it was slightly ridiculous.
