Hangin Tough

Sometimes I forget about how amazing the people in my life are. I mean, sure, we all do it. Life gets busy. Extra stuff gets in the way, and sometimes you just decide that the DVR and Hulu is really just how you want to spend the day. I get that. Heck, I do that. However, when you get to spend a couple hours catching up with friends you haven't seen in a while, it really makes you appreciate them in your life. I really feel that true friends are ones you don't see all the time, but when you spend time together, you pick up as if no time was lost. Now, if you asked me what a true friend was in high school, I'd tell you someone with a pool...I mean, someone who you saw day in and day out. I am lucky enough to still have a few friends from high school, but they now are more the ones where we pick up where we left off. Think about it. What do you consider to constitute a true friend?

I know, when I started this blog, I said I would do most of the talking, and all you had to do was listen. So, sorry about that. But, yesterday after having coffee with two amazing friends in my life, I felt so fulfilled and ridiculously happy, and I want you all to feel that too.

Now, with all this being said, I have to say I do have this feeling everyday when I go to work because I am super spoiled due to the fact that I work the best people on the planet. They will never be mentioned unless in witty nicknames that I give them or nicknames they give themselves (because I see them doing that). They are just that amazing, and I have learned so much about my job and life through them, that what they have given me is so much more than I could hope to give them.

So, after the short love letter to my friends and the people I work with. I'd like to turn my love letter to food. Hence, why I started the blog. I love it. I love good food. I love trying new places and different types of food. Probably why I'll never be a size two, and I think I'm starting to believe I'm ok with this. That being said after a fabulous visit with friends, and a great dinner out with the family, I didn't work out yesterday. I know what you're thinking. Come on now, you started this and didn't even work out on day 2. Pull your life together! Not what you were thinking? At least one of us didn't think that... I'll get back on the workout horse today, and will hopefully have a better news for you all on the workout front tomorrow. I'll find a rhythm. I'm a musician...how hard can it be? *Du dun cha*

As many of you may be able to tell, I'm reading Bossypants by Tina Fey. It's such a great book. Really giving a voice to modern women and inspiring me to stand up and just be me. Hopefully, that is coming across to you...


Until next time...
