…or the web address of my blog. I’ve just been lacking in the Things to Blog About department recently.

I hope you had a great Christmas, or whatever holiday you celebrated this season. Mine was fairly uneventful, but in my world that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I got to see the parts of the fam that I only see two or three times a year and spent all of Christmas day with my mommy.

I’m ready for it to be New Year’s Day already. I’m looking forward to being done with the celebrating, not in a bah humbug sort of way, in an I’ll be glad when things are back to normal way. I like normal. I’m ok with normal. Plus, I’m looking forward to 2009 (except that part where I turn 25. I’m not looking forward to that). I have some high expectations for it, so here’s hoping it lives up.

In case I don’t blog before then (and chances are good that will be the case) have a safe and happy New Year. I expect to hear stories on Jan. 2nd!!

Dunno what said blog is going to be about, but there you have it.

First of all, I’ve been slacking on going to see Ian again. My thighs do not thank me.

Second, Festival of Lights Parade is Saturday. I love that parade! It’s gonna be freezing, but getting all bundled up and playing outside is part of the fun. I’m excited.

Following the parade Nikki G, Sara Beth, and myself plan to get our holiday spirit on and camp out in my living room to watch Christmas movies. Fun times will be had by all.

Third…..well, I don’t think I have a third. My bad.  =\

Have a great weekend!

Here are a couple of pictures from last year!!

Let me begin by saying that I don’t think lives should be dictated by horoscopes. I don’t put much stock in  forecasting the future as dictated by the zodiac, but I must admit that the accuracy with which cosmos describe my life is a little eerie.

First, of all I’m an aquarius to a T. Read the description of the water bearer and you pretty much have my personality in a nutshell.

Second, although I don’t check my horoscope on a regular basis every single time I do they are scary accurate. Now, I don’t mean in a ”well, that maybe could be interpreted to sort of reflect that thing that happened this morning” sort of way. Here’s an example of what I do mean:

Event: I fall flat on my face while walking through a restaurant full of people.

Horoscope: You may feel a blow to your pride Aquarian when you find yourself in an embarrasing situation. Your tendency for clumsiness may be an issue throughout the day. Try to retain focus while doing physical tasks and you should make it through the day generally unscathed.

Anyone else have horoscopes that smack you in the face on a regular basis?

Also, I think writing horoscopes may be my new calling.

Sometimes I get sad because it seems like niceness has gone away. I try to remember that there are always people out there doing good things. Its unfortunate that we hear more about the awful happenings than the good. I tends to make the world seem like a selfish ugly place. Sometimes though someone will bust out with something so completely thoughtful and caring that I’m reminded that niceness hasn’t gone away. I was not so subtly reminded today that I am lucky enough to have wonderful people in my life.  I hope they know they are appreciated.

This one is for you Sara Beth Clark. You’re AMAZING!

So I’ve been slacking lately and haven’t gone to work out with Ian in almost 3 weeks. In my defense I’ve had legetimate reasons for not being able to make it. I have not, however, had legetimate excuses for not working out on my own. I’ve just been lazy. My problem is that I need that motivator there telling me to do it. When I try to work out at home I just pansy out. I’ll do like 10 push ups and quit. That’s where Ian comes in so handy. He tells me what to do and I do it…or at least try to. So, if you’re trying to lose a little weight or just get a little healthier and you’re like me and just can’t seem to make yourself do it on your own give Ian a call or visit his website (that info is at the end of this blog). Having someone behind you helping you push through the workout makes a world of difference.

Hi. My name is Brittany and I’m a dye-a-holic.

So for the past year or so I’ve been going through this I’m So Bored With My Hair thing. Late last fall I decided I wanted to go darker (I’d been blonde my whole life). Then I went darker still. In May I decided to go back blonde for the warm months. In August I went to red. I’m still at red, but I suddenly want my blonde back, but I looooove the red a million. I’m wondering if this is just a case of wanting what I don’t have simply because I don’t have it?

I’m also having urges to chop it all off a la Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham bob. Now, 7th grade being the last time I did a serious cut on my hair this makes me nervous as I’m pretty sure I cried for at least a month when my hair was short. That’s the great thing about dying. If it’s awful it can be fixed. If I hate my hair short I can’t just magic it back. Ah, the hardships I face.

Sidenote: I hate the slang spelling of hot….HAWT. Why? WHY? What is the point of that? I suppose it’s tolerable if you’re actually using it in a Having A Wonderful Time sense, but just to respell hot as hawt because you’re online or texting? This girl says no!

I’d like to publically state that no matter what kind of stupid things come out of my mouth I DO NOT think Nikki G looks like a Rock’em Sock’em Robot.

(sidenote: Nikki, I think I may have an idea for next years Halloween costume)

Happy post Halloween day before elections Monday. Hope you all had a ghoulish weekend. Myself I got to experince the joys of wanna be gangsta rap in downtown Crackville, USA. Thank you Nikki G for accidentally culturing my smalltown rear end.

I did actually learn quite a bit this weekend. Please indulge me as I share.

1. Corsets are not comfortable. Great for the waistline, not so much for sitting….especially on a sinky couch.
2. I should stay away from trying out a pin up costume as apparently I just turn out looking like Kathy Griffin =(
3. If you use enough hairspray your hair WILL hold curl. Ozone be doomed!
4. Nikki G and I have a new calling as rappers. We’ll call ourselves Nikki G and the Funky B.
5. Discrete “SAVE ME” looks to not translate across the anime/ pirate/ old timey golfer time space continuum.
6. Peg Bundy actually lives in Greenwood Indiana
7. Pirates are bad no matter how many Rolos they give you.
8. Cat pee stinks….
9. So does any form of feces. (don’t ask)
10. falling downstairs hurts
11. Coffee should not be poured into a power strip.

You’re welcome for that.

I also just realized that I haven’t mentioned Mr. Ian McGriff in a while. He’s still whoopin us into shape. I especially like all the boxing he’s incorporated lately. Talk about stress relief!! Stressed? Don’t pay for for someone to talk to. GO HIT IAN INSTEAD!

What’s wrong with this picture of Toby Maguire?
