Even more fun stuff!

Check it out! I've learned how to sign my name to my posts! I thought it would add a little bit of personality to it!

Randomness

Wow...it's funny how I seem to post in spurts, isn't it. I think I update my layout design more than I post now. I've developed a bit of an obsession with digital scrapbooking, and I'm loving being able to change up my blog whenever I want to. Normally I'm not a fan of pink, but I just love this paisley look!

Life is pretty crazy right now. The job search continues, and I'm really starting to get frustrated about it. It wouldn't be so bad, but I really want to be in Asheville so that I'm closer to Sean and all of my friends. And I know that the sooner I can get a job, the sooner we can find a place and I can start moving all the stuff we've gotten as wedding presents. Seriously, our formal living room has been overtaken. There's a walkway now.

I can feel muscles in my stomach and back that I've not used in a while tonight. I did one set of core exercises today, because I know it's something I really need to work on. Plus, dad has a new stability ball, and I'm trying to convince Sean that it's what we need to get. I wanted to run through some stuff I could do with it before I brought it up again. One thing I learned is that it's hard to do a sit-up when the ball is rolling under you. And the back extensions were tough.

Running-wise, I'm doing ok. I realized that due to everything that's been going on, there was no way I would hit 40 miles this month. I've dropped my goal down to 30. I have 11.5 more to get in over the next 8 days. I can do it. Now, if I can just figure out a good stretch for my hip. My knee got stiff after some wall squats, and I must have been favoring it, because now my hip on that side hurts.

Now I think I'm going to head to bed. It's nearly 1am, but I'm really not all that tired. Well, I am, but I can't fall asleep. Ugh. Maybe if I get still for long enough, I will. Goodnight. :)

I won an award! Thanks Sonia (www.chooseyethisday.blogspot.com) for thinking my blog is fabulous!

I unfortunately, really only read a couple blogs with any regularity...and one of those is Sonia's. There's just something about blog surfing that makes me happy; I would much rather have one or two regular ones, and then click links to find different ones for a day or two.

Anyway, I'm going to pass this on to one of my online running friends...she posts her meals everyday, as well as pictures of her cute little dog. But just in case she doesn't want me to link her, I'm not going to. I know some people only give out their blog addies to people they know.


Oh, and I have to post 5 addictions, so here they are!
1. I love cake. Pound cake, sheet cake, it really doesn't matter. Preferably with a ton of icing!
2. Digital scrapbooking. I finally found a creative outlet that doesn't really cost me much. Once I get some more pages done, I'll get them printed, and that'll be the only real cost. I use free kits and a free editing program.
3. Chocolate milk. While I was at school, I didn't drink it very often. Now, I can't get enough. I've even tried the chocolate soy milk. It's not bad, but it's not quite the same as making a glass for myself.
4. Pets. I need to get a job so I can get out and start looking for a cat or two. I want an adult, but Sean wants kittens. He'll probably win that one.
5. Learning. Even though I've just finished school, I'm already trying to figure out when I can go back. There's always more to learn!
