we all got stories but please me what there is to complain about....

Wasn't planning on posting, actually haven't thought about my blog in awhile but I was driving home from breakfast with a friend and the One Republic song "Good Life" was on the radio and i just starting thinking about the good life i live and the awesomeness of this last year!

So i guess the purpose of this post is to document the awesomeness that was 2012. And to make you guys laugh a little bit.

First off, I am done with Victoria Secret, forever. After all the money spent there I stumbled on this store called intimacy and they measured my size as one Victoria secret doesn't carry in store and i uncovered the conspiracy  They have been selling me the wrong size because they didn't want to say they don't carry my size. The inhumanity!!!!!!!

I actually have loved living in a city i used to call the toilet of Texas. Houston is kinda of awesome and is really starting to feel like home. We even have "art." Bari picked it out. 

Yep, We have spears on our living room wall. People seem to like them. Speaking of Bari, being married to him is awesome and remained awesome for all of 2012, even if i don't love his "art"

I have made some really good friends this year in Houston. I have always said its harder to make friends once we leave college but because of church and Bari's friends being heterosexual i have some really cool new girl friends in Houston.

Work since my last blog post has changed again. I am now a project manager. I have a job I love and a path to the work i want to do forever. I honestly think this is the first time i am sure of what i want to do next and thats awesome. 

Because of this awesome work i got to do in 2012 i am now PLATINUM on United. That means i flew 75,000 miles last year. A few people have asked me what is so awesome about having status. I am not really sure, but I know its better than not having status on United. I have a few free upgrades so thats nice. and Well yeah....so there.

Ok, so anyone who has read more than 2 of my 46 posts knows that exercise and sticking to it has been a long time challenge for me. This year I became a runner. Like not just a oh i have the new nike free tennis shoes but i run in Brooks, have black toenails from all the running, and then to top it all,  I completed a half marathon. That is 13.1 miles of mostly running. Me and 13.1 Miles....so there is that.

Ok, I am over blogging but 2012 brought me my Bestie Dean Wester! My new baby girlfriends Teagan,  SJ and Penny P! Got to celebrate Sloan's first birthday  Ty's second birthday and hang with Channing who "needed" a cupcake, girl after my own heart. 

I am not even going to say i am back. but here is a post

Hello!

I came to blogspot to check if they had reclaimed the domain and they haven't, so i read some posts. Made myself laugh and decided maybe i have something to say.

I am going to Nigeria next week for the first time since 1994. My Mom called to tell me what to pack. Really? She said don't wear halter tops. Ok well now i am prepared.

Since I last blogged a lot has changed. I left branch banking and now work as coach. I guess you could call me a trainer. Bari got a new job and we moved to Houston. I discovered Pinterest. Shelby had a baby. Jessica had another baby. Lauri had another baby.

So for the first 6 months of my new job i traveled. The position is actually 100% travel so I leave Houston on Monday morning and come back Friday night. I got silver status on Continental. Then they merged with United and my silver status means less. No upgrades for me. Being gone for business means business pays for your food. They call it a meal cap. If you thought i ate a lot before, imagine a meal cap.

I worked in Seattle for 3 months, and San Diego for 2 months. I was home for most of December. Seattle was awesome. I did hot yoga, ate, walked around, ate, shopped, ate. Oh and I ate. In San Diego i drove, ate, ordered a lot of room service, ate, Drove to LA with Ademide. We ate.

I have been working from home for about a month and i have learned a lot. If I don't shower before my first conference call I am not showering till 4. If I feel my teeth at noon and can't remember if I brushed them, I brush, can't hurt to brush again. I often shower and put on new clean pajama pants, why waste going out in the world clothes. Sometimes i put on work out clothes in the hopes that I will be ready to run between calls. Doesn't really work but I am going to keep trying.

Don't think because i haven;t been blogging i haven't being visiting my girl Victoria. I got a few more incredible and an incredible Racerback. Very cool. Snaps in the front. The last time i went they tried to get me something that did fully cover your boobs. What kind of worthless bra is that. Can't even remember what it was called.

Back to Pinterest. Pinterest allows me to feel better about eating because I have to cook the food first. Bari is confused because cooked food should be cheaper but I have to buy new ingredients for most meals and some how it cost the same or more. Like the $12 Marscopone Cheese. Makes me want to start a food blog and take pictures. I also get to be crafty sometimes. Not very often.There are other people on Pinterest who are there for workout plans and silliness like that, I ignore them.

I just baked raw and burned Banana bread. Its healthier, no sugar or milk. Bari is out of town so I am going to enjoy my dinner of wine and banana bread.

bye friends...
