I tried this whole blogging thing once before, and for some reason, I'm going to try again. But this time, I'm going to attempt to take more pictures and even possibly post once a day. Ha! We'll see how that goes.
So, how about a few things about me that I'm sure you're dying to know about.
1. I live with my boyfriend Kyle, and our many animals. It's almost like we have our own zoo. One dog and four cats (should be 5-but one went missing). Here's some adorable pics of our pets.
Here's Rupert. Doesn't he look so cute and sweet? Don't let him fool you. He's secretly the devil in cat form.
Here's Hudson. AKA Smush. He's a sweet heart, and loves to cuddle. Don't mind the dirty, gross shoe in the background. I have since thrown that pair out.
This is Bronx. He is the laziest, fatest cat that ever existed. He also purrs constantly. To the point where it keeps you awake at night. And yes, my boyfriend does wear Homer Simpson pajama pants. Jealous?
Out little Peanut Bowie. Yes, she is named after the wonderful David Bowie. Yes, she is the most beautiful cat ever. And yes, it's just her and I in a household of boys.
This is our missing Oreo. He and Rupert got out in July. We've since found Rupert, and are just hoping that some nice person took Oreo in, since the winter is coming. We miss him so much.
Last, but not least is little Sawyer. He's my puggle and is like my child. He likes to sleep under covers, which is great when it's cold out. And then he starts dreaming, and kicks you over and over again. And he snores. But he's a sweetheart.
2. I've been on Weight Watchers for 6 months, and have lost 55lbs. I started running about 4 months ago, and I love it. Here's a before pic of me:
This is at 192lbs. Gross.
And here's the after:
I still have about 15lbs to goal, but I will get there eventually. Doesn't matter how long it takes, I will succeed.
3. I am obsessed with Haribo Gummi Bears. Kyle and I went to 5 Below last night, and I have never been more excited about finding this purchase. Kyle thinks I'm crazy.
I'm not entirely sure of how many bears there are in this huge bag, but I'm thinking of putting each flavor in a separate bag. Because I'm normal, and eat them in a specific color order.
4. I knit. It's like meditation for me. I just sit and watch tv and zone out. I've only ever finished one project, and I'm in the process of 2 more. Here they are:
This is a cozy (cozie?) I made for my brand new iPod touch. I can make you one. I offered to make Kyle on and he declined, for some reason?
I started this scarf in the summer. It's about double the length of what you see now. I was going to make it a regular, full length scarf, but I'm thinking of just making it an infinite scarf at this point. I'm sure it won't be finished before the winter is over though.
This is the sweater I'm making. Right now, I'm knitting the body of it. I have no idea what to do when I get to the arm holes. I'll probably make it up as I go. Since the directions for it are translated from Norwegian into English. And they don't really make a lot of sense.
5. I am obsessed with Urban Decay eyeshadow. Here's what I have so far:
And this is the only thing I want for Christmas:
Isn't it beautiful?
6. I can finally say that I am a runner. I started about 4 months ago, have run in a few races, and am doing a 10K (6.2 miles) training program right now. My goal is to eventually move to half-marathon and then marathon. I may not be the fastest runner out there, but when I started I could only go for about 30 seconds before I started to die a little on the inside. I now regularly run 5 miles at once. I had a 5K this morning, and PR'ed. 30:54. Boom goes the dynamite. Here's me in my super cute running outfit. Don't I look sexy and svelte?
You can't see my running shoes in the picture, so feast your eyes on these beauties.
They're Brooks Adrenaline. They are my besties.
7. I am the messiest person in the world. I tend to do laundry, and then never put it away. It's gotten out of control. Here's a picture of my clothes that I have at least separated into piles on my bed. There's a pile of towels, undies/socks, and clothes that need hung up. (And stop trying to zoom in on my undies. There's nothing to see. Pretty boring.)
8. I read. All the time. My beautiful collection of books:
Do any insurance companies have a plan for books? Kinda like the ones you have for your expensive jewelry. Because, lets be honest, I have none of that. I spend all my money on books. And yarn. And eyeshadow.
9. I <3 TV. Here's a pic of it:
Kyle's out having lunch with his friend. So I'm catching up on all the shows on my DVR that Kyle refuses to watch. Here's the list.
Beavis & Butthead and Top Gear are not mine. Obviously, I watch shows with much more intelligence. Like TMZ.
10. I love wine. Nothing more needs to be said.
Yes, that's a $6.00 bottle of wine. Yes, I am cheap.
11. Lastly, I am addicted to coffee. Specifically, Wawa brand. And if you aren't from the Philly/NJ/Delaware/Maryland area, look up Wawa. It is the greatest.
That's about all I have to say for now. I'm off to knit and watch all that tv I have saved. I promise to be back tomorrow. (But let's be honest, it probably won't be until Monday.) I have a 6 mile run scheduled for tomorrow, so maybe if you're lucky, I'll take pics of my route so you can virtually run it with me.
