Holy Cow! It's March.

I think it's quite obvious that I have neglected this little blog for the past month. 

In lieu of a real post, I'll just give you an update on all the things I'm currently loving / doing / hating. I usually save a post like this for my Tumblr but I've neglected that little blog as well. All of my Internet efforts have been put in to catching up on YouTube channels and videos. It's a tedious and daunting task. It also requires very little creative energy from me because I'm consuming rather than creating. 

Whatever, you get it. Onward with the meat of this post....

- Working on a transition. I have been with the same company for six and half years. This month, I'm going to a new company, doing a new job and working with new people. It hasn't started yet but as I wrap things up at a job I love and know and am passionate about, I'm excited for a new challenge and also incredibly anxious. New things are scary. I think it's scarier because I'm at a point in my life where having a career means something to me and I don't want to mess it up.

- Eating food I cook at home. So far my home menu has consisted of grilled cheese, pancakes and pasta. Lots of pasta. Baby steps, you guys. Baby. Steps.

- Drinking out of these super cute tumblers that my sister gave me for Christmas. Recently they've held mostly gin and tonics. Gin and I are good friends. We have a respect for one another that makes me feel good about drinking alcohol which I like and prefer to how vodka typically makes me feel.

- Exercising through local classes that are included in ClassPass. I am sooooooo glad Class Pass is in Dallas. I love studios. I love the whole class environment and now I get to go to new studios and mix it up because Class Pass is here. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep up my schedule with the new j o b. 

- Wearing an incredibly shapeless black sweater / sweatshirt I bought at Target. It works with everything. I'm obsessed.

- Reading Amy Poehler's book "Yes, Please." It's a slow crawl through this book because I've chosen to nap on planes recently rather than read. I'm tired. I like naps. I need to make time to read when I'm home. 

- Watching "Pretty Little Liars" with the most anticipation I have ever had. "A" the primary villain is supposed to be revealed in like two weeks and my body and mind and soul is ready to see who the heck this person has been. Also, I've been getting pretty into live-tweeting through ABC's TGIT situation. The "Grey's Anatomy" folks aren't as into it as the "Scandal" folks but it's pretty entertaining. I love seeing other famous people live-tweeting about the show. I feel like we're friends even though we def not. A girl can dream. #TeamInternet

- Netflixing "House of Cards" as soon as another snow day kicks in which I believe will be tomorrow if the cold front keeps it current schedule for Dallas. I haven't started season three yet but I'm ready.

- YouTubing Connor Franta because he's adorable. Also, Meghan Rienks because she's goofy and pretty and for some reason I feel like I relate to her weirdness. 

- Listening to Disney music because I just got back from Disney World and I want to go back real bad. Even as an adult, Disney is magical and makes you feel things whether that feeling is nostalgia or awe or triumph or just happiness. Also, I know all of the words and enjoy singing along even if my cubicle mate doesn't necessarily enjoy it...

- Podcasting Ear Biscuits because it is back. I love Rhett and Link. I have no idea how they get people to say all of their feelings and tell their life stories but I'm into it. 

- Hating how ungrateful some people can be about the life they have. While Disney World was a great vacation, there was one person in our party who was a total buzz kill (even though she was constantly buzzed) and made me worry about her life way more than I care to. Look lady, you're married and have beautiful children and have a job and now you're on vacation, BE PRESENT. I wish people would take more time appreciating where they are in the moment rather than worrying about the next thing or involving people in their worries when they really should keep shit to themselves. Yes, I'm resentful because she stole my vacation from me. Yes, it was my choice to devote brainspace to her but still, she was hard to ignore. Rude.

- Loving all of the kind words from my coworkers as I embark on a career move and leave them. I have received so many kind emails or hallway chats encouraging me to take this next step and be confident in my ability. I am so grateful for all these people and their words. It makes the transition a little easier.

Well, there ya go. 

What have you been up so far this year? Anything I should try? Feel? See? Listen to?
