Last week I…

• Got a new hamster that I am co-parenting with my friend Alex. Her name is Josephine Francesca (aka Joey, Jo, JoJo, FrannyJo)
• Talked to my sister on the phone for over an hour and we both giggled a lot
• Played in the snow and took pictures for the first time in years – I love the way the entire town just gets quiet when it snows. And I got to walk down the middle of my street, which is also fun.
• Decided I need to either join the gym to help placate my winter blues – this watching-Netflix-and-being-emo thing needs to stop. And going to the gym will at least get me out of my apartment.
• Went to a dance party at a nice restaurant, that didn’t start until 11 pm, and then danced, danced, danced.

Last week I learned…

•  I am a klutz. always bumping into things, dropping things, getting tangled in my own damn purse…when I setup banquets at the hotel, I nearly break something when carrying chairs and tables EVERY DAMN TIME.
• I am incredibly ditzy sometimes. I took the elevator at work and heard music playing and thought, “Oh, when did we get elevator music?” and then heard it again on my return trip. I then asked my boss as I was going to my office, “Did we get elevator music?” And then I promptly realized my iPhone had been playing music in my pocket. Fail.
• Even though I’m not considered by most people to be a “nice girl,” I’m still nice, and I care very much for my friends and family, and I’m trying harder to show that.

Last week I confess…

• I watched hours of Being Human (UK version) on Netflix
• I got teary over Grey’s Anatomy…again.
• I refused to grocery shop and ate pasta most of the week because I didn’t want to walk to the grocery store in the cold.
• I read a lot of old blog posts from late 2010-early 2011  and got sad, then angry, then proud  because  it really hit me how much my life has changed and how much I have changed
