Thanksgiving and catching up

I know I said I was going to try posting more often. Clearly, I lied. well not really lied but didn't follow through. In my defense, my job involves a crazy 4th quarter. I know, you're thinking 'duh. who's doesn't?' But really  mine actually mainly revolves around January 1st. It's a blast and I love it, but my life spins out of control during this time of year. It's all I can do to keep my personal life straight.

Lucky for you guys, I've a some good friends reminding me not to forgot about you and requesting an update . So here's my life update:

1. Thanksgiving was wonderful and full of family time! It was probably one of the best ever this year. Although I feel like I say this every year.
2. I went black Friday shopping for the first time ever. And by Black Friday shopping, I mean I woke up late, and went to a few stores to check out washers and dryers (I was successful). I feel like an adult now.
3. I rode my bike a few times at home and decided that I need to work harder to include it in my new life downtown. I stopped riding when I moved because I was scared of the streets and I loved riding at home so much. Time to kick that stupid excuse and ride every weekend. Since I'm dead set on doing the MS 150 this year.
4. My running has been terrible lately. As in I only ran once over the holiday.But that also, is getting kicked in the butt (I'm not sure if anyone is counting the amount of times I've said this in my posts, we're probably at 12 or so). I met some of my sisters cool running friends, and even though I'll be the fat slow girl, I'm going to go run with them on Thursdays. They're all super nice and I think a running group would do me good.
5. I saw my bff from middle school this week and spent 5 hours talking at Starbucks with her, so we decided we need to see each other more, so I'm visiting her soon :) This will be exciting!

I gotta start Christmas shopping and make sure I don't wait until the last minute..again. I just never know what to get people. Wish me luck since I hate shopping. Speaking of hating shopping, my sister and I are embarking on this journey of her helping me look more put together. I lover her and am not sure what I'd do without her, but the girl takes her fashion very seriously. I hope she can teach me something useful.

Oh and lastly, this Thanksgiving my mom and sister cooked amazing food. It was delicious. I sat on the couch watching my Texans play and did no cooking whatsoever. Well, I mashed potatoes and washed 3 dishes. That was my Thanksgiving contribution. In my defense I couldn't miss my Texans first Thanksgiving game ever (they nearly killed me but we puled out a win). I think I'm justified? Next up on my 'learn to be a put together adult list' is learning to cook and enjoying it. Right after my sister finishes my fashion training. This means that I'll get around to the cooking part when I'm 57. Hope you stick around till then.

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. Thanks for making it through my ramble of a post.
