[ ten things tuesday ]

1. this should have been posted yesterday, but of course i was too busy spending 2 hours and $140 at target last night to get anything else done. woof.

2. i am absolutely obsessed with the idea of moving to europe and learning another language. i struggle with staying in one place too long. then i realize how much i love living in california and i decide i think i'll stay put for a while. this place is stealing little bits of my heart away from minnesota every day.

3. i am not sure how i survived cinco de mayo, or why i have never properly celebrated it before. a holiday dedicated solely to drinking and eating chips and guac? why did i wait so long to hop on the cinco de drinko bandwagon? so awesome.

4. i watched an episode of 90210 and nearly threw my tv out the window because it was so bad. but then i didn't, because it was so bad, it was good. and i couldn't stop watching it.

5. my 'loose jeans' became 'tight jeans'.. damnit. i need to learn to have self control. i had to suck in so hard this morning to get my pants on. so annoying.

6. has anyone seen 'fat, sick, & nearly dead' the documentary? probably going to watch it. and eat delicious solid food through the whole thing.

7. i am going to a wedding in northern california this weekend. i cannot even contain my excitement. the last wedding i was at i may or may not have gotten sick in the rental car on the way home. i am so good at celebrating new marriages.

8. does anyone think that jessica simpson will ever lose the babyweight? cause i don't even know how you can come back from looking 20 months pregnant like she did.

9. someone had these balloons delivered to a coworker of mine today. if someone ever delivered balloons like that to me in public, i'd never speak to them again because i would be so embarassed. but i'd be totally cool if they delivered them to my apartment, because they were so festive and awesome. and i'd get to enjoy them without the world laughing at me.

10. in result of my jeans not fitting me anymore, i have decided to not eat sugar for four days. i mean, i can only consume sugar that's not in the form of candy or syrup or frosting. if anyone knows anything about me, it's that i eat sugar like it's the #1 staple food group. i eat frosting out of the jar. pretty often. so this is totally insane and if i actually survive the next four days, it will be an absolute miracle. i already thought about giving up at least 25 times today. (update, i failed)

[ ten things tuesday ]

1.Elisabetta Canalis is dating Steve-O. Uhm, WHAT? She was previously doing the dirty with GEORGE CLOONEY. and now she's dating STEVE-O. There is not one thing that is okay about that whole situation. I am so sad for her.

2. I need clothes. All of my clothes are boarderline inappropriate to pretty much wear anywhere. Half the days I am in some patato sack sized sweater and military boots, and the other half I might as well be naked because I am wearing that little of clothing. Okay, so it's not quite that bad. But seriously, I need to learn how to dress appropriately for work, without having to wear the same thing every single day. I am certain my coworkers think I have zero sense of fashion, but it's only because my sense of fashion is slightly homeless/80s thrift store... none of which I can wear to work.

3. My room is so sad. I am too poor to buy anything to decorate with, so I have stark white walls with nothing on them. I am doing everything I can to keep myself from decorating with magazine ads. Cause really, I only stopped doing that like 6 months ago.

4. I nearly died when I heard the rumors that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth were engaged. I live and die for Miley Cyrus. She is slightly annoying and thinks she's 5 years older than she is, but I still dream of being best friends with her. I also think that Liam Hemsworth is one of the sexiest men, ever. Seriously, those two are perfect. But, they cannot get married. I just can't deal with them being stuck together for like 10 minutes and then divorcing or something. SO I was  relieved to find out they were not engaged. Of COURSE it's not an engagement ring, people, DUH. I always wear huge rocks on my left ring finger and take pictures of my hand and totally disregard the fact that I am wearing a rock when I post the picture to twitter. Girlfriend can't be tamed!

5. I still can't handle caffeine. I drink coffee on the daily, and by 10 am I am jittery and having heart palpitations and losing my mind. WHY can I not just drink it at a normal pace like a normal person and not freak out.

6. In other coffee news, my friend Ryan found a bunch of old Starbucks giftcards he's accumulated and didn't ever plan on using, so he gave them to me. I feel like I won the lottery. I have like $80 in Starbucks giftcards.

7. I got to read gossip magazines at work last week. It was my assignment. Seriously. Gosh, I work so hard.

8. I have been inspired to learn how to run, because everyone here RUNS. I am never going to be a marathoner. Or even a half marathoner. But I would like to run a 5k someday and not die... so I decided to run 1 mile today at the gym on the treadmill. Running is seriously no joke. I am so embarassed by how terrible of a runner I am. It took me 12 minutes to run a mile. and I thought I was going to puke afterwards.

9. Perez Hilton's face is frightening. He is so skinny. Remember when he used to be fat?

10. I got an invite to a wedding in May. Fuck. Yes. More on this later.
