"your drug is a heartbreaker"--weezer
wow, it's been forever since i've written. i'm not going to go back and retrace all of my steps though. just know that last weekend was pretty good considering i was surprised chris managed to come down for a bonus weekend! we went to see the killers at ACL on friday and spent most of saturday at the river for my uncle's 60th bday party. i spent most of sunday at ACL with kelli, seeing regina spektor, bloc party, wilco and the decemberists. we met up with shawna, sharla, eric and katy as well. i'm not going to say that this was my most favorite ACL, i really tried hard to be excited about it and i'm glad i got to see who i got to see. but let's be honest, i'm used to spending the entire weekend out at the festival specifically with ACL-going pros: shawna and sharla. i had so much more fun last year than i did this year and i honestly think that had i spent most of the weekend with you guys, no matter how non-excited i was, i would have had a lot of fun. it's ok though, i didn't feel well on sunday so that didn't really help. i'm just thinking ahead to next year.
so this week at work has been really really busy. (somehow i managed to take a break to write this). we just launched a new database and i've had to do trainings for it 3x a day for 3 days and the day i wasn't basic training, i was training "super-users". it. has. been. awesome. no not really, but only one more to go today! and then they are just sporadically throughout the months, read: once a month. (not 9+ times a week) in any case, i dont' mind training so much but i am really behind anyway and have been working late this week to make up some hours because i'm leaving early tomorrow to catch a flight to OKC. luckily my last hour is going to be working through lunch tomorrow. yay!
in other news, i've officially decided to REALLY start eating better and working out, so i signed up for this self.com Reach Your Goal thing, it's sort of like weight watchers, but not really, haha. basically they give you recipe ideas and workout plans for each week depending on the plan you chose. it's really cool b/c you get to keep track of everything online, it's so cool. it's like a workout journal, i.love.it....yes, i loved it so much, i have done 1.5 days of eating well and today i looked at the lunch i made and didn't want it, boo. so i went to which wich, and here i am. but i think i lost 3lbs so far, which i'm sure is all water weight. awesome. in any case, i'll jump back on the wagon here, i especially like the workout thing b/c it tells you how and what to do. awesome. (btw, it's free)
so i'm headed to OKC tomorrow, i officially can't wait. i have been so stressed out this week with work that heading to quiet oklahoma seems like the perfect plan. so far we've planned...going to the pool, sleeping and maybe watching football. perfect.
last but most certainly not least. last week my parents had to put my beloved caesar to sleep. i was so upset, although this has been a year in the making. we thought he was getting better and as the days/weeks wore on, he could barely walk, wasn't eating, etc. it's so sad, but unfair to him to be that miserable. my mom buried him under a tree around some pretty flowers, it seems very appropriate since he used to love to lay in the sun all the time. i miss him a lot and it's weird to go back to my parents house and him not be there. plus cleo is acting super weird with him being gone. poor pups :(
hope everyone has a great weekend!
