She's making me do it

Apparently I need to get my ass in gear and actually go to the gym. A coworker of mine proposed a "biggest loser" competition for all of our region. So I'm doing it. Christine (though she pisses me off, she's right) is dragging my ass to the gym with her. It's time to get my shit together and get fit for reals. Progress reports to come...

31 Day Blog Challenge

As previously mentioned, I have a goal to write more blogs. And what a better way to that then to challenge myself with this 31 Day Blog Challenge that I found on pinterest. I will begin this challenge on January 1 of 2015, and conclude on January 31 of 2015. Keep in mind that I will continue other blog posts in between. This will provide much needed motivation and ideas for writing. 

So each blog post related to this challenge will read "31 Day Blog Challenge, Day 1: Introduction"...etc, etc, etc.

Look forward to new stuff in 2015! Thanks for all of your support!

Hot mess

So I am sitting here in the waiting room at the doctors office. Sweating like a mofo. I feel like death, but not because of "sickness". Anxiety is a bitch that I have to deal with slapping me in the face every day. I have dealt with this my whole life but didn't know what it was until college. I rely on regular medications to help me live day to day "normal" life. But when I run out, you might as well lock me up in my bedroom and not bother me for days. Today I am waiting on getting a refill. I feel like I may throw up. I'm sweaty, shaky, and the nurse said my heartbeat/pulse is way fast. That's anxiety for ya. I could puke any second now. The only thing keeping me grounded is that I am focusing on writing this blog post. I don't even want to get in my car, it's that bad. I can't stop thinking of the 29573 errands I have to run today. I have work tomorrow and a work party that I need to bake for and wrap presents for. The post office that is miles and miles away is calling me to mail all of my packages. Groceries need to be shopped for. The dog needs to be taken out again. I have laundry to do. It just never ends. So that's why I'm here. I'm not ashamed to talk about this issue I have because it is relevant and a lot of people deal with the same stuff I deal with. On the brink of tears because you can't stop panicking. That's me. Building awareness for anxiety. Enjoy this pic of me looking terrible. 

Last giveaway of 2014

So I just put up the video for my last giveaway of 2014. I am hoping to get a pretty good turnout as far as entries. 3 weeks and international makes the odds of winning a little harder. Good luck!

This is why I love music

I just finished watching the movie "begin again" starring Keira Knightly and Mark Ruffalo. The funny thing is that I got this movie sent to me from Netflix over a week ago and have put off watching it. Today as I sit here editing YouTube videos, I put the movie on. Well worth it. I absolutely loved the whole story line. The cast was awesome. The music...even better. It makes me want to spend time with my sister, who coicinidently is a singer/songwriter, and make an album. I love everything about the way that a group of misfit musicians came together, not because of the money, but because they love making music. They made an amazing album and had fun while recording. All over nyc. I love New York and seeing this story play out was worthwhile. If you like indie movies, acoustic rock music, and have a couple of hours to spare in your day, go watch Begin Again.

iPhone 6 changes everything...

So I wanted to post this picture mainly because of the rediculously good quality! I got my iPhone 6 yesterday and it has changed my life. It sounds cheesy, I know, but the technology that this phone has that the other one didn't can change the way I do things from now on. I now can blog via my phone faster and more efficient. I can also film and edit and upload videos from the phone and it is all in hd! Plus the photos I can take are really amazing quality...I mentioned that before lol. One of my goals for 2015 is to write more blogs. And now I think I will really be able to keep up with it. Until the next one...

K bye!
