Thankful Thursday

Well, you've probably noticed that I haven't done a Thankful Thursday in a while. Hopefully I will really continue it this time.

Today I am thankful for:

~ Having an amazing, supportive family ~

~ Waking up everyday to my best friend ~

~ Finally getting the new iPhone 4 (pure awesomness) ~

~ Coffee ~

~ My week long vacation coming up ~

~ McDonalds french fries ~

So, as stated above, I finally got the phone. Wow. Just wow. I'll admit that I'm crazy for getting up (a second time) at 3am to wait in line for this damn phone...but it was worth it. I'd do it all over again.

iPhone 4 Fail

As planned, I got up this morning at 4am to wait in line at the mall for the anticipated (and oh-so-cool, might I add) iPhone 4. So, that's what I did. I waited, waited....waited some more until I finally gave up.

That's right...just gave up. Around 8am an Apple employee came around and told me that all the 16gb were sold out and they were only selling 32gb...plus another 3 hour wait. My response?

F*ck that!

Apparently I didn't need the phone that bad because I left. The line is still ridiculous. Yes, STILL. 8 hours after failing miserably, the line continues to wrap around the perimeter of the mall. This must mean a lot to people.

Besides the iPhone nonsense, today is actually turning out to be a fantastic day! I paid my last and final payment on my car! It is officially PAID THE HELL OFF!! No more $350 payment! I actually own my car...amazing feeling.

I also signed up for the Nike Women's Marathon today as well! It's October 17th, in San Francisco! I'm actually going to run the full marathon too! SIKE! Haha...there's no way. I can't even believe I'm running half! 13 whole miles. Twice as many miles as the 6 that I have yet to run. I wish myself luck.

Not sure what high I'm experiencing right now that has caused me to do things that I wouldn't normally do. But I'll go with it! Awesome!

Speaking of awesome...I finally got my 1st place trophy in for the 9 Ball pool league I play on!! Yay to me! I even got a girl trophy......and she has boobies!

In A Weird Funk

Today is just one of those days for me. I'm sad. But I have no idea why!? I have absolutely nothing to be sad about. My life is amazing! I had a wonderful weekend down in San Diego with my sister and Mom and now I'm happy to be home with Jon!

I think I honestly just miss him. I didn't see him all weekend, which felt like a lifetime. He works late and on the weekends now, so it's definitely a change that I'm having a hard time getting used to. I'll come around...I know I will. I know he's only doing this for us and for our future family, so I really shouldn't be complaining. I just miss the guy to pieces!

***********************

Apple unveiled it's latest and greatest - the iPhone 4. I'm truly amazed at all the crap that it can do. Face to face phone chat?! HD video recording?! Works at lightening speed?! Who wouldn't want it! I've been reading different reviews for it hoping to find at least ONE that puts it to shame.

But I cant.

Not. a. single. review.

You can reserve the phone on the 15th (which I'm debating) or it comes out for purchase on the 24th. What's a girl to do......

A Little Something Special

I never really explained where my blog title came from. Driving to Los Gatos over the weekend and passing by Campbell made me reminisce about it. A long time ago (I was about 10 or 11) my mom used to live in Campbell and I would visit her on the weekends. She lived in a very cute and quiet neighborhood. On Saturday mornings, we would take a walk to a nearby coffee shop to have breakfast. Mom always had a bagel and coffee; me, a bagel and juice. After our breakfast we'd walk to a cute little stationary shop called, "A Little Something Special". I loved that place. I would always buy pieces of stationary paper. I never really used it, but I loved buying them. Each sheet of paper was about $0.60 or so, and my mom would give me money to pick out what I wanted. I don't know why I was so infatuated with that place, but it definitely became a wonderful memory. Probably because it was me and Mom's place...and I'll always remember it.

So, wow...is it really JUNE already!? I can't believe how time flys by. It's almost summer!! There's so much stuff going on that I'm excited for. Camping is coming up, Lauren is coming home and Jon and I celebrate our anniversary next month! I also have a huge milestone in my life....the 10k (yes it's that big of a deal for me). I've been doing my training for the run and I'm hoping to be prepared enough for it! I keep telling myself that 6 miles isn't that bad....but then I get on the treadmill and at 2 miles I feel like my heart is going to stop and my legs will fall off.

In addition to my 10k training, I'm supposed to be eating healthier too (as I snack on a Charleston Chew), but apparently I don't know the meaning of that. After a hard workout I usually go home and ruin it all by eating cookie dough or having a delicious bowl of Cocoa Puffs (which by the way is my new favorite cereal). Tonight I will be making pasta...which probably isn't the best thing to eat after a workout......BUT in my mind, the fact that the Alfredo sauce is "light" and I'm putting asparagus in it, makes it healthier ;)

Tuesday = "The Office" marathon! It makes me smile just thinking about it .......that's what she said.....

Big Man On Campus

That's what Jon is! He got the job!!! I'm so happy for him. They officially offered the job to him yesterday afternoon and I am so excited. I can't think of anyone more deserving of that position, then him. He worked his ass off for it. He's been working such long hours lately and taking on more projects to prove himself. This is so good for him...and as he puts it "it's good for us and for our future". :)

We've got a big weekend ahead of us. Jon's best friend is in town for his engagement party. I'm really excited! I finally get to meet his best friend. I even just bought a nice shirt for the occasion. Sunday I have my pool tournament...which I'm a tad bit nervous for. Unfortunately I have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn to be there. Who starts a pool tournament at 9am?? Oh well...I hope we do good...since we're playing for money!

I also get to see my auntie's this weekend!! It's not very often that I get to hang out with them so I'm super excited! When my mom and her sisters get together, it's almost like you have to pull up a chair and popcorn because the three of them are comedy. They're the funniest people I know.

BATHROOM VIOLATOR UPDATE!!! ........

........she clogged the toilet yesterday and made it overflow. This is not a joke.

Summer...

...is almost here. Thank Goodness! I am so tired of this rainy cold weather. We're nearing the end of may and it's raining today. I have a million tank tops hanging in my closet that need to be worn.

Summer also means that school is just about done. Last night, the first part of my final project was due. Econ kicked my ass. As much as I hate it, I have another semester of Econ left. I should just take it in the fall and get it over with while my mind is still fresh on it. But knowing me, I won't.

I've been on the hunt for a new bathing suit. Apparently all that delicious McDonald's I eat is going straight to my ass and hips...and now my bathing suit bottoms fail to fit. I'm kinda-sorta digging a Victoria Secret bathing suit that I saw online. However, when I went to order it, it says that it wont ship until 7/31. Great. Awesome. Fantastic. Looking forward to wearing my new bathing suit.........in two months. Fail.

Camping is going to be AMAZING this year. Only because Jon will be there enjoying it with me this time. He'll finally understand why it's the best place ever and why I look forward to going. I love not thinking about work or home...or anything. Waking up to the water right outside of your tent, the sun beating down on you and sipping on a beer for breakfast. It really is the life.

Jon's interview is tomorrow!! I'm so excited and so proud of him. He's worked really hard to get this position and he deserves it. I'm doing my happy dance in my cube right now!!

The Brazilian

Yes. I did it. I survived the retched pain of the almighty Brazilian Wax. These were my exact thoughts when my hair follicles were being ripped out of my hoo-ha...

F&CK!!

HOLY MOTHER OF @^^%$

SON OF A BITCH!!

But, in all reality it wasn't that bad. I could (and will) definitely do it again. In fact, I've already made my next appointment. I guess the outcome is well worth it.

I just signed up for a 10k!! I'm so excited. It's interesting that I chose to do a 10k run, because I've never even done a 3k or 5k. Hell, it's been over 6 months since I've even stepped foot in a gym. But...I've decided to challenge myself and skip the measly 3 and 5k's. Go big or go home, right?! With that being said, it looks like I'll be spending some quality time with my new BFF...her name is Treadmill. We will become great friends over these next few months. I need to build up my stamina! As of now, I can probably run a good 2-3 minutes before I'm out-of-breath-exhausted! Sad, I know.
