Sara and I actually did something productive today! Not that we never do, but this is work-out related, and that definitely doesn't happen all that often (at least on my end of the equation).  I got up late, and was lazy for awhile, making a quesadilla, watching TV, staying in my PJs.  Then I made a playlist to clean my room to, (today's song is not on it, wrong kind of music.  I need fast pick me up stuff to clean my room, and this song is just pretty).  Anyway, I ended up on the floor doing pushups.  So then Sara suggested we go for a run.  And we actually did.  A lot of time we say we will do something and then we sit on the couch and don't do it.  But we went for a run (as well as I could run, which wasn't very far, but there was power walking involved as well) and then came back and did an ab workout!  So yay, I did my working out for January.  lol.

I finally got the time off approved for when my mom comes to visit in a couple of weeks.  I'm excited although I don't really know what to do with her while she's here.  I've been looking stuff up, but I don't know what we will end up doing.

I finally got our Bruins tickets!  I'm excited, that will be a lot of fun.

Speaking of hockey, go Sharks!!! We were able to catch the game yesterday against the Avalanche.  It was awesome, seeing Marleau get his multiple goals and make history.  It's hard to catch the games out here, so I'm glad I got to watch at least one.

We don't know what we are going to do for the Super Bowl.  I really want to go to a party, eat some dip, and watch the 49ers dominate the Ravens.  I've never been a huge football fan, but I have to rep my hometown team!  We're hoping that our friend Jeff will have something going on he can invite us to.  Otherwise we will end up at a bar, lol.

I honestly don't understand how our radiators work.  During the week I swear they are turned off, although we have the dials turned up to 8.  We freeze and wrap ourselves in lots of blankets.  Then on the weekend, they are constantly going off and it's 90 degrees in the apartment.

Also!! We got our place for next year.  Yes, I know it's January, but I guess things are crazy out here.  It's a lower apartment in a house, 4 bedrooms 2 baths.  That means we have to find roommates.  We put down first months rent and turned in our applications, but we should still have some time before we need to pay the broker fee and find roommates.  It's kind of scary, but it's exciting.  I just hope we are able to find good people.  More roommates equals less rent!  With this internship, I barely cover my expenses each month.  So it will be nice to actually be able to start saving money again.

I'm still working on the same cowl I have been crocheting all month.  I pick it up, do a couple rows, and then put it down.  I don't know why, I just don't have the motivation to finish it!  I mean, I have awhile to go, but still.  I don't know when it will be finished.

I changed my room around a bit, I nailed some crates on the wall and made makeshift shelves for stuff.  Hopefully they don't fall off and break the wall down.  But I used big screws, am not putting anything too heavy on them, and the plaster seems really strong.  It's been a week now and they're still solidly up there, so hopefully that's a good sign.

I got some new books to read on my Kindle, I'm excited.  I've read 6 so far this year- and I just recently finished Beautiful Creatures, a YA book that they made a movie for (comes out next month I think) so there are the rest of that series and I got a bunch of John Green novels and almost all of Nicholas Sparks.  So I should be set for awhile!

I really ramble when I write these don't I? I need to work on my writing.  It used to be something I was good at, but I feel like without working on it, its gotten worse and worse.  And this blog I don't try very hard to make readable and fun, I just kinda list the things I have done to update anyone who reads it.

Sara and I went and saw Hansel & Gretal Witch Hunters the other night.  I got free passes through the preview website, and was surprised to find that it was in Imax.  And 3D.  The movie wasn't that great, the special effects were awful, but it was a good night and it didn't cost anything!

Ok, time to go.  If anything exciting happens I will update again, but prob not again in January.  See you in Feb!
