1. I want to shop. Badly.
2. I can't stop thinking about the "3 B's" at the Waffle Window in Portland - Brie, Bacon, and Basil on a delicious waffle with fresh peach jam on the side. Mmmm....
3. Why do people feel the need to spread their life all over facebook? Is it a cry for attention, or do they really think everyone wants to know every detail about them? This is why I don't understand Twitter either. Why on earth would I have a twitter account? I'm not a celebrity and I'm pretty sure nobody cares where I am at 2:48 in the afternoon.
4. Why is it that you always end up working with at least one person who thinks they work harder than anyone else and is just dying for someone to compete with about it?
5. I'm starting to see the light at the end of my tunnel. Just a few more months and I think I'll have life all figured out!
6. Isn't the whole purpose of a book club to have differing opinions and to try new genres you wouldn't normally read? That's why they're held with a variety of people, right?
7. I was humbled last week by a very genuine and loving person. I needed it.
8. Why are most people so leery about blind dates? I think they're fun! Yes, dating can be exhausting at times, but it can also be kind of adventurous. Dating is just a simple way of getting to know someone better. I feel that your friends/family have your best interest at heart and wouldn't set you up with a dud, so why not? I had 2 blind dates last week set up by 2 good friends, and had a great time on both!
9. I started going to Institute a couple of weeks ago, and I'm really enjoying it. I really haven't gone since I graduated from college a few (seven) years ago, but it's been a really nice little boost. I don't really know anyone there...just a few people...but I really don't care. Funny how that happens as you get older...you go for the learning and not necessarily the social aspect. Our teacher is phenomenal too!
10. At what point do you start thinking about starting a career as a single lady? I mean...is it too late to think about going back to school? And if I were to go back to school, would I have to choose between Interior Design and being a Child Life Specialist? Is it really time that I be making these decisions? Or should I have already made these at this point in my life? I promise I don't want to be viewed as a "secretary" for the rest of my life...even though I'm NOT and have a college degree and actually do the accounts receivables but have to sit at the front desk bc we're too cheap to hire a receptionist.
and ps...I did splurge and bought myself a $5 really deep purple nail polish from Sephora the other day that I can't wait to try on!
pps...I'm really sad to admit this, but I think this whole lack of excessive sugar thing has actually made me start to dislike baked/sugary/candy goods. Wha?! True. I had 2 slivered samples of delicious pie tonight at book club and wanted to vomit instantly and am now suffering from a sugar headache. Blech! I also only ate 1/3 of a Heath bar last week before I was sugared out! Lame! Apparently I can still muscle down chocolate covered cinnamon bears like nobody's business, but luckily those are a Utah specialty item. (We went up to Conference this weekend and got some for the road)
I need a break from my travels for a minute. I was literally gone every weekend in September. Duck Creek on the long weekend, Red Rock Relay the second weekend, Ragnar Napa Valley the third, Portland the fourth, and then Provo/SLC which was technically the end of Sept/beginning of October. Can you believe we're already in October?? Sheesh! Where has the year gone?!
I think I watch too much Project Runway. I sit at my desk at work and think about dresses and tops I want to make and how I don't want to make them with patterns. I just want to be able to whip up what's in my head on a whim and a body form. What? Why do you think that's so unreasonable with my limited sewing experience? Anya has only been sewing for 4 months and I got my first sewing machine when I was 8! Now...I just need a body form...
If/when I move to New York, I'll definitely have to keep running and possibly start actually working out because I.Love.Food. and there are a million kazillion things there I need to eat.

I had a dream last weekend at my friend's cabin where we did Project Runway in the cabin and one of the girls made a really mod 60s miniskirt out of this funky 70s blanket I was sleeping under...I may have the same problem as you. But I've only seen a few episodes from this season.
haha! This is why we're family... I have some really cool fabric here at the house, and some really great ideas! I just need to carry them out.
mmmmmm.....waffle window.....so good! i never had that one but wow - those are some good waffles! did you ever do the grilled cheese grill while you were there? mmmmmm again! also, agree on the book club and blind date thing and i'm loving my unbroken book right now by the way :)
Book club, you say? I remember those days!!! By the way, I may obsessively check your blog waiting for your next entry, so I am glad this one was a nice long one. They are always entertaining to read. Don't worry about the school thing, I think about it all the time too and which way I want my life to go but then it gives me too much anxiety and so I push it in the back of my mind. So don't worry, there are ton of people in the same boat as you! Miss your face.
Glad you had fun... Blind dates rock (cause that is how I found Scott!)--plus, free food! :) ha ha! Hope you are well.
it's 5:47 and i'm reading your blog. what? you don't care?
