100 Days Til RJ and Nicole’s Wedding: Things Just Got Serious

So as I’m sure you remember from the end of last year, there are approximately 1 bigillion weddings going on. And I successfully attempted to lose weight for all of them between August and December. However, we’ve been on a reprieve from weddings over the past few months, and unfortunately, some of those pounds came back.

If you take a look over to the right side of the screen (over there…over there) you’ll see that there are 100 days until Arge and Nik tie the knot (Memorial Day weekend, on Long Island…it’s a New York wedding people!), and I have every intention of losing 10 pounds in those 100 days. Since I practically forced them under penalty of death to go skydiving with me this summer, I figure I should at least look presentable when I do a reading/break out into an original song and dance number during their ceremony. It’s happening.

So it’s back to Zumba, Yoga, and possibly once-a-week Chipotle for this girl. Ugh. I might actually have to go grocery shopping for the first time in 2011. Losing weight is a pain in the (smaller) ass. Check back next week for my first weigh in results – and don’t hesitate to send some love along. Good luck to me!

Ok Egypt, Now I’m Pissed Off

CNN reporter Lara Logan in Iraq

For the past few weeks, I’ll admit that I’ve been sitting idly by while the world to the west of me was going crazy. I mean, Cairo is far away and there’s been a lot of really good college basketball to watch.

My first reaction to the protests in Egypt was a fleeting “oh that’s scary,” to “oh that’s really scary,” to “why are they messing with Anderson Cooper,” to “I think Mubarak is somewhere in America,” mostly because I love a conspiracy theory. But when I woke up this morning and read that CBS reporter Lara Logan had been beaten and sexually assaulted while trying to do her job last week, the situation suddenly got very real for me. And now I’m pissed.

Roses at Random

I don’t know TK, but this video is cute, it’s in Boston and he’s a friend of a friend, so I’m going to pretend that I do. And since I work right across the street from the Public Garden, I’m kind of upset I didn’t make it outside in time to get a rose. Some things to note while watching:

1. The women of Boston have the best cold-weather clothing.
2. It’s kind of ballsy to give flowers to a girl with a boyfriend.
3. Watch the guy in the hooded-sweatshirt procure a flower for his girlfriend around the 1:40 mark. Sweet. Also watch the bald guy behind them who wants nothing to do with anything.

Rumor has it TK does this every year, so to all you ladies in search of some roses, there’s still a chance!
