Does the temperature really read 68 degrees at 9:30 at night?! While global warming does seem problematic to the future of the planet, I'm totally cool with it. I know this won't last and snow could come one last time but I shall enjoy it all the same.
It was so nice to get the bike out this weekend. Just the few months it was away I had forgotten how freeing and relaxing the bike is. It really is great therapy and allows you to just clear your mind of all the stress and for a little while just forget about everything. It's still hard for me to get the compliments of me, a girl, having a motorcycle. I'm usually really hard on myself and quick to dismiss compliments, but its really hard to ignore them about me and my bike. I've had so many people tell me how awesome it is that I ride and having the bike has helped me a little bit with taking compliments and being a little more confident in myself and to just believe (my 2012 word) in myself.
Having a new job with new things to learn I find myself in a spot I haven't been in for a very long time. I'm out of my normal routine, I don't know what I'm doing yet, I'm surrounded by a completely different group of people that I don't know and I won't lie, it's been rough. The training regime at work isn't the most thought out plan and all the unknowns is stressing me out. I find myself questioning whether or not I made the right decision and was it worth all this extra work and stress that I put on myself. I miss my everyday peeps (this means you OL) just knowing they were a stones throw away was enough to ease my nerves when anything came up. I know they are only and IM or email, or two floors down but it's enough away to make me feel disconnected. I try to make daily appearance whether or not they are appreciated ;)
I'm glad though. I needed change in the worst way. I've said from the beginning this is the year I put myself first and work on me for a change. Although it may seem like I've flaked on my fitness goals, I haven't. February was the black hole of despair and sickness, we're going to forget it happened and move forward. You'll notice the Warrior Dash countdown is still going strong over there to the right, 94 days and counting. June is my looming deadline. I want to be shaped up for vacation and beaches and kick some ace in the dash. A lot can happen in a few months and I hope a lot does. Spring is a time for renewal and this warm weather is getting me motivated to get out and about. So here's to the 70's in March, motorcycles and more motivation.
As I'm sitting here waiting for my NyQuil coma to kick in, here's the random thoughts going through my head.

- Happy 100th Birthday Oreo's! Did anyone else celebrate with a snack size mcflurry? (don't judge it was in celebration)
- It was going to be a snack blizzard but our stupid DQ makes it's own hours apparently.. seriously WTF?!
- Where does so much snot come from? My nose has been a snot factory in overdive the past few days.
- I was bummed I didn't feel well enough to run in the 5k over the weekend. BWurm ran it in 23 minutes and was complaining prior that he hadn't run in a few days... really?! You will not be my running partner anytime soon there buddy.
- I wish NyQuil was instantaneous
- Any kind of get better medicine in liquid form looks so scary and never tastes quite as bad as you remember.
- seriously I still cannot walk into the bathroom and even glance in the general direction of the mirror without the light on....still.
- Kleenex Cold Touch tissures are super amazing, how do they do that?
- I started a new job on Monday... well training for a new job. It's very boreing. It's all web-based, it's a very quiet room with everyone listening to their training on headphones not really talking.
- Blowing your nose in a silent room is quite embarassing.
- They announced Friday afternoon that Friday was my last day.
- I haven't watch TV for two days. I didn't even turn the TV on tonight.
- I'm really glad we have DVR's... what would we do with out them?
- I don't wear a watch anymore, I miss my watch, it needs a new battery. Maybe I'll fix it and start wearing my watch again.
- I unsubscribed to numerous unnecessary newsletters I was receiving. I hope that will declutter my inbox a bit, I never read them anyway.
- Is it winter or spring?
- time changes this weekend, Spring Forward! :)
- I've been enjoying my Nook. It's sparked my reading interest again.
- Tomorrow is 'Dip Day' in the training unit where I am currently implanted. I'm making BLT Dip, do you have a favorite dip?
- Tomorrow is yoga, I'm excited for that. Except for the stupid girl that was beside me last time, I'm going to try to not sit by her this time.
- I got my hair cut. You can't tell, it was just a trim. I feel better though. My hair has gotten really long, I like!
- 87 Days until I get 15 days of vacation days added (Happy 5 year anniversary at SF to me!)
- I am in love with Savannah, Georiga. I want to live there and explore.
- I watched Oprah's next chapter with Paula Deen, her accent reminds me of my Grandma Min, who isn't my grandma at all. I'll tell you about Grandma Min later this week stay tuned!
- Can you become slightly germaphobic out of nowhere as you age? I cannot touch the door handle in public bathrooms or work anymore without a paper towel in hand. Weird I know.
- The 100th Anniversary of the Titanic is this year. In rememberence I will be seeing Titanic and cry...... don't let go Jack!
- Oreos? Titanic? What else happened 100 years ago?
- How strict do you think the dosage for NyQuil is, double shot anyone?
Thanks for tuning in. This concludes the random stream of thoughts from inside my brain for tonight. Come back real soon, ya hear?
