FACELIFT!

This is ylesha. If the blog looks a little horrifying it's because we're under construction. Ignore the mess and don't judge us yet!

I've fallen and I can't get up

Here I sit, slowly digesting my Razzles, and deciding that I don’t like Fridays. I think Fridays and Tuesdays are my least favourite days of the work week. Tuesdays: obviously the worst day because you are not EVEN to the halfway point and already tired from Monday and it drags by. Fridays: you know the weekend is just around the corner, yet still you watch the clock tick by every minute, longing for freedom. *sigh*

I am on the hunt for the impossible: cheap, trendy, but yet comfortable and professional shoes. Payless has those of the first two varieties, but my feet usually feel like they’ve been in a food processor all day after wearing them. Aerosoles has the third variety, but theirs are frumpy. The only pair I actually own that meets all of the above, are from high school, and are a size too big (I obviously had no idea how to take care of myself in HS). Help me find shoes. I’m desperate.

I am realizing now that my social life is suffering in more ways than one because I am so tired from work. Woe to me for not keeping up on my blogs! Look what I JUST found that J.Nobbity wrote for me and Nolan on her blog! EEEEE!!!

Expect great things soon. Like: I guest-blogged for The Pretty Analyst (coming soon!), and I am getting a blog makeover. Yep. It’s time it looked a little neater and maybe more…open? And I think Nolan deserves and upgrade and can now join Milo and I on the front page. Also, ylehsa has been bugging me to ditch the vomit (which I fondly call PEACH) colour of the background and go…something else. What do you think?

Confessions

Things I must admit to today and most days that you should probably be aware of:

I have not worked a day at my new job without first getting coffee. In other words: I have not entered that building without having fresh caffeine rushing through my veins.
I bought the London Fog drink at Starbucks today solely based on the name. It smells/tastes like soap. I hate it.
I get dry-mouth when I am in the elevator with powerful people.
I genuinely believe Milo has a soul, and will most likely end up in hell. But I love him probably more than is healthy.
The thing that has brought me the most joy today and yesterday (besides Nolan--that is just implied), is my extendable clip on my ID badge. I can swipe into the building from like 3 feet away if I have to. w00t.
I worry about the elevator crashing. Seriously, you probably would too if your ears popped multiple times on the way down and the car shook a bit on each floor.

I had my first personal training session today, and learned that a.) I am healthy and right where I should be, but b.) I need to tone and strengthen because c.) I have a lot of joint/bone issues to be aware of. So I therefore also have a chiropractor/sports trainer appt. on Monday, and my second personal training appt. In six weeks prepare to see a picture of me looking more ripped than whats-her-face from the Biggest Loser. Oh, right. Jillian Michaels.

Hot 'n' Cold

Best I have seen yet...and somehow I cannot believe someone actually put that much time, money (did you SEE the exact costuming?!), and effort into something like this. Complete with a "wtf-dance-sequence". Haha, enjoy.


It’s that season. People sneezing/oozing mucus on the Muni. Someone in a cube near me coughs, then draws in a deep, rattling breath. Spray-able hand sanitizer, 2 inches from my keyboard, ready for deployment, lest anyone else’s troops get too near and lay siege to my beaches. It’s sick season. I am just trying to stay warm, dry, and germ-free…and between hot tea (which we all know probably means coffee for me, despite my pure intentions) and Airborne, Starbucks and Walgreens are making a fortune off of me. Which…I guess isn’t that different since before it was just “Coffee” and Candy. You could say I am being more prudent with my fortune-blowing.

It's only February, and already I am looking around my cube and thinking how FABULOUS it will look at Christmas when I decorate it. I am thinking lights, tinsel, maybe a tiny (TINY) tree. Heh. Today I went out and bought a little yellow rosebush to make me happy in my little corner, and earlier I brought in my “The Office” Calendar (thanks, Nate). Next step: a pretty pencil holder. Huzzah!

Poor Milo. First he barfs all over our back seat after driving up to Pville (guess who had to scrape up the bits of kibble and stomach acid, etc.), then Nolan tells him how stupid he looks in his new teal, striped collar (Milo has no balls -- what does he care if he looks manly or not?), then tonight he loses his collar and goes back to the crappy blue one, then Nolan throws small (but soft! don't call the SPCA) objects at him because he is chewing on electrical cords, and now he is sitting on our bed, fearing Nolan, and wondering (as I am) if his fish will survive the night. The fish's been doing the floating vertically thing. We're holding a candlelight vigil.

I feel like I catch up on my superficial life when I get home. I do business-y things all day, and then when I get home I plunge headfirst into facebook and people.com and other trashy sites, like a pig plunges into its trough.

Shout-out to Sarah, who launched her new blog, which WILL be my financial downfall, but is excellent nonetheless.

snow!

As promised, here is what we woke up to on Saturday morning! My parents' ranch, covered in snow!



More to actually write later :)

An Affair to Remember

*man. my link disappeared. the pic below WAS a cool human heart made out of candy.*

Happy Valentine's Day! Tonight we are going to Outback to spend some quality time together at a nice date place, and enjoy a free night together :) So, here is my valentine (obviously with my doctor-husband in mind!):



Tomorrow I will post pictures of the ranch--we have been having snow! How lovely is that! Right now I am sitting here again with ylehsa, having a little tete-a-tete and tea and watching (what else) "An Affair to Remember".

Applesauce?

Burnin up some time waiting for the Grey's/Private Practice crossover event...because seriously I almost died last week from suspense. So: I'm watching the NAACP image awards and cleaning my house for the weekend, since we're heading up to Placerville for the long weekend to hang out.

I'm also debating eating something, because I have an unfortunate desire to eat a LOT at night...which doesn't seem to coincide with my fitness goal. Speaking of which, I tried my new gym today and it.is.fantastic. Except for the weirdly cramped locker rooms (I am pretty sure the girl behind me got an eyeful of my big white you-know-what as I changed), I absolutely love it!

I seem to be either brain-dead from learning so much at work all day, or I genuinely have nothing interesting to say.
