My Sad Life

So I've discovered that my favorite snack is no longer being sold in Texas!

Y'all - this is really upsetting me!! You have NO IDEA how good these pretzels are. I first discovered them when I was babysitting for my neighbor. (The babysitting pantry raid - you know you've done it).  Anyway, I started buying them for myself.  Then, I was at this neighbor's house a couple weeks ago and she mentioned that she can't find them in stores anywhere. So, I went online and guess what?? No Rold Gold Cinnamon Raisin pretzels in Texas anymore.  And guess what else? I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE TO BUY THEM ONLINE. (As an aside, what the hell?? You can buy pretty much anything on the Interwebs these days. Anything, apparently, except these delish pretzels).

The bag in my pantry is almost gone, I don't know what I'm going to do. And that makes me sad about my life - because who gets this upset about cinnamon raisin pretzels?? Another thing that's sad? I am blogging about this on Friday night.

Anyway, if any of my out-of-towner friends see these at their local grocery stores, pick me up a few bags. I'll really owe you one.

What's Up

So, last week-ish I was chastised again by my dear friend (hey KB!) about the fact that I never post on my blog.  I just don't feel like I have anything interesting to say! Because while my friends are doing things like buying new cars and arguing motions for summary judgment, I've been:

*Spending $225 to fix my washer & dryer (YES! The both broke at the same time. WTF.)

*Cleaning out my garage because it flooded and all the boxes that I have not unpacked since my move got wet (Yeah I moved in August 2010, what's your point?)

*Taking down my Christmas decorations (don't judge)

*Making a list of all the electronics in my office for our building management.  Why they need to know that I have a radio and a cup warmer is beyond me. As for my space heater, under the new building policy I now need to have a "doctor's prescription" if I want to keep that. Um... ok.

*Receiving a great birthday pressie in the mail today. Love these earrings. Thanks, LS!

*Buying this dress. I love it. But don't worry - it was 35% off, plus I had a giftcard, so I'm still working on that paying off debt thing.

That's about it I think. Alright KB, it may not have made you laugh, but it's a post and it's not a post about not posting. :)

Resolutions

So, Happy 2012! I haven't blogged in ... awhile.  Sorry. I'm hoping to do better on the blogger front this year.  I am pretty excited about this year - I have a feeling it's going to be full of good things for me! Not the least of which will be my full-time return to H-town! (Will I need to change the name of this blog? Something to think about.)

Anyway, in the spirit of the new year and because I saw my friend Per Stirpes do it, I thought I'd share some of my goals for 2K12.

1 - Make Healthier Choices - so I am shooting for being healthier rather than the traditional lose weight resolution. Things like eating more fruits and veggies, lean meats, not stuffing myself with sweets every single day at the office, not skipping out on walking my dogs, etc. Hopefully I'll also lose weight too. Ha!

2 - Drink at least 48 oz of Water a Day - This kind of goes with resolution #1, but I wanted to list it separately because I make this resolution EVERY year, and EVERY year I fail at it.  But this year I won't fail.  In fact, if I accomplish only one of my goals this year, I want it to be this one.

3 - Keep my House Clean - I tend to be a slob, be a neater person.

4 - Pay Down Credit Card Debt - This goal will mostly be accomplished in the latter part of this year, when I get a law firm job.

5 - Participate in my friend Ryan's idea for Project Scripture. Learn a new verse every week.

Ok that's it! Let's hope I can accomplish at least a few of these goals!
