Blessed

OK I just wanted to do a quick post of 5 things I'm excited about right now...

(in no particular order)

1. Reading the Hunger Games. I don't read terribly often, but when I do, I remember why I don't, because I drop everything I'm doing and become obsessed. I could be asked out on a date with Bradley Cooper and I'd probably say, "No, sorry, I'm at a really intense part of the Hunger Games."

2. My sister is home for the holidays! We're going to bake lots and lots of cookies!

3. UNC-Texas basketball game Dec. 21st. Haven't been to a UNC bball game since I was a student, not to mention, could only watch like 3 games in China, so I'M PUMPED. And it's Texas, so that just makes it fun.

4. My new boots! ...and to be clear, that's TWO pair of new boots! I know, I should be shopping for other people...but they're so pretty!

5. Athletic Conditioning at the DowdYMCA. It let's me feel athletic and competitive again, and allows me to pretend I'm still an athlete. Somehow I've gotten worse since I started, but I'm convinced you just get worse before you get better. (?) Not sure it's intended this way, but I just love trying to push past the person next to me on sprints or watch the guy doing push-ups out of the corner of my eye and try to keep up with him.
