Fitting and New Things

1. For the past month or so I have been trying not to over-eat. It's pretty tough because I love food, especially carbs and cookies. But by utilizing a handy itouch app I have happily lost about five pounds. Today I am proud to fit into a shirt that I haven't really fit into for a while!

Here it is:

This makes me happy! :-) I'm still working on getting back in shape, but it's always nice to see progress.

2. I'm living at home this semester so I can do an internship. I'm working on a lot of event planning and marketing/promotion. I help coordinate concerts and recitals and rehearsals of youth symphonies as well as professional musicians. I absolutely love it! I have a beautiful office all to myself and awesome coworkers who operate under that attitude that I know what I'm doing, but are happy to help me when I don't.

Living at home presents fewer challenges than I would have expected. Mostly I miss my friends at school a TON. But the biggest problem has been my bed. I moved my bedroom to the basement instead of upstairs, and I've been sleeping on a 25-year-old queen bed. 

BUT NO MORE!

My daddy loves me and spoils me, and bought me a wonderful, comfortable, new queen-sized bed tonight. I love it and can't wait to get it home. I'll post about it once I sleep in it overnight. I'm really excited!

3. On the way home from the GINORMOUS furniture store we stopped at Target. Well, my dad parked and I ran in and bought things. (I got paid on Monday! Yay!) Here is what I got:

New flats. I really like heels, but my feet don't after a while. 

 

Also, I got some plain-colored long-sleeve shirts. Unfortunately the green one and the orange one have to be returned. All three shirts are mediums, but those two are too tight. Oh well, the blue one is softer anyway. I'll get two more in that style.

 

4. Finally, my car reached this AWESOME number of miles the other day as I pulled into work:

 

This made my day. :-) And yes, my car has seen a lot of pavement.

Now it's bed time! Goodnight!
