Peer Pressure

Ok, so I haven't blogged in a while. A long while. Let me just take a second to get you caught up. I know, you are on the edge of your seat.

Hmmmm, since April I have done the following:
- Started the South Beach Diet and have lost 12lbs so far.
- Started running again - my 3 mile run after work today will be the third 3 mile run this week
- Worked on a long, boring and tedious project for work that took 2 months of my life I will never get back
- Took my dog in for a follow-up to the gum incident he had (see previous post) and his liver enzymes were back to normal. That was the good news. The bad news was that he had a lump that the vet wanted to take out. It turned out to be pre-cancerous so I am glad that we had that taken out.

Whew. Now that is off my chest.

So, when I was prompted to post a new entry (Thanks Heather) I asked what I should blog about because this seems to be the biggest problem for me. She had the following suggestions: "Top 10 best moments of your life, best things to do during summer, your undying love for me...". She then proceeded to dedicate an entire blog entry to me. Check it out. I think in honor of this I should definitely write about...

The top 10 best moments of my life. Ha! I am sure to catch hell for this.

1. Getting Married - Hand down the best day of my life. I guess when you find the right guy (even if that is in high school) you don't let him go. He is swell.

2. Winning 1st place at Dance Nationals. It was the most amazing thing to be able to be a part of. I miss dance tremendously. Those who know me know that I am literally obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance. Don't judge.

3. Getting to be a bridesmaid for Katie (my sister-in-law) this past March. It was the first wedding I had been in where I wasn't the bride. I was so happy for her and Heather and I had a blast.

4. Getting my dogs. This could really count as 2 since there are 2 of them. But I will just count it as 1. Gosh I love them.

5. College. I may not have graduated, but I certainly left school with some amazing memories. The best was one night when our group of friends were all out on the balcony of someone's house. "Cecila" from Paul Simon came on the stereo and there was a moment where all of our feet were stomping to the beat, our hands were clapping and we were singing the song. It rivaled any moment on Almost Famous. Those were the days.

6. Moving to Texas. The second I stepped foot in Dallas, I knew this is where I wanted to be. I miss my parents tremendously but this is where I belong. A fresh start.

7. Moving out of the evil girl house. I don't play well with others. Scratch that, others don't play well with me. I was so happy to move out of the train-wreck my life was living with girls. This has led me to believe that all twins are evil.

8. Getting a real big person job. I never thought I would be the office type. I have become a lot more than I ever thought I could be.

9. Getting boobs. No, not the fake ones, but the real deal. Once I stopped dancing they appeared. Finally. Now they are out of control. Everyone knows it, I can't deny it and I don't have any complaints!

10. Being born. Thank God I don't actually remember this. I would never be able to look at my mom the same way. Here is the logic: if I hadn't been born, I wouldn't be here to talk about the best moments!
