back into the swing of things

hello blogosphere. i'm back. a lot has happened since my last post and in order to spare you all the boring details, i'll just summerize:

-i moved to chicago! my finace and i got an apt. in lakeview and we absolutely love it. i walked a mile to the grocery store today and couldn't help but think, this is awesome. i love the hustle and bustle, taking public transportation and NOT getting lost, the shopping, restaurants, being close to my friends, music and theater events that are every night somewhere, the red eye, and on and on. we love our place too. it took a little while for it to grow on me, but it has, and its great. we have a ton of space. the kitties seem happy. the only problem is we need parking. we're trying to find rented spots before the first sn*w fall. that's right, i'm not saying sn*w. it's a naughty word and i don't like it.

-wedding planning. uggggggh. this is sort of bittersweet. i'm so excited to get married and to have a wedding, but i am SUCH a procrastinator. there is just SO much to do and it's easy to get overwhelmed and just say screw it! i am so OCD about this kind of stuff to, so wanting everything to be perfect doesn't help. thankfully, i have my MOH koubie to keep me in check. she's my wedding drill sergeant. if it weren't for her, i probably wouldn't have a single thing planned yet. thank god for koubie. the wedding is like 200 something days away (is it bad that i don't know exactly how many?). it'll get done. i'll do a later post about wedding details thus far.

-marathon training. another uggggggggh. yesterday was the first day and it was totally fine, im exaggerating with the ugh. it's going to be difficult bc i am severely out of shape, but i know i can do it. my other MOH jacki is whipping my ass into shape. she's my hot body drill sergeant. when did i enlist in the army? don't recall. it'll be great though. jacki is a great motivator and is so knowledgeable about being healthy and working out to get desired results. she's going to make me a hot bride and i'm way grateful. i have been told that this first month will be light, and it will ease my body into running, but she's cracking the whip month 2. oh boy. but anyway, MARATHON. so it's really a mini marathon. we first have to crawl right? i can't run a half mile right now let alone 26mi so we thought we'd start with 13. There are two minis next year, one in august and the other in september. we have have almost a year so i feel pretty confident. mind you, i say this one day in and we pretty much took today off. great progress so far.

i think that might be all? i know i said a lot has happened but i guess it's just 3 main things. whatever, feels like a lot in my little world.

SIDE NOTE: a little something that is bugging the HELL out of me is the number of people i know that have gotten knocked up in the last month or so. WTF? I want to say there are at least 10 people. 10! i dont know that many people, so 10 is a frickin lot. i dont know what the hell is going on. its freaking me out. don't drink the koolaid. i so dont want a baby right now. i want to just BE for awhile before i get strapped down with a kid. i shouldn't say that, bad karma. the gift of a child is a blessing and blah, blah. in due time.

ok for now, i believe that this is all. i feel good and re-energized that i blogged again! it had seriously been too long. my goal is to post once a week, but i want to do more if possible.eh we will see. i hope everyone is having a fabulous week!
