WOO-HOOO!!!
way to go steelers! six-time superbowl champs!!
omg, like probably everyone in steeler nation, i nearly had a coronary when larry fitzgerald got that last arizona td... but then there's good ole drug-dealing santonio holmes for the pittsburgh win! from childhood drug-dealer to superbowl mvp... wow! i cried at the end, but they were exhuberant tears. although i don't consider myself a football fan in general, i have to say - last night's game is the kind of game that creates football fans. i actually watched the entire game and yelled at the tv - i think they even heard my defense cheers in tampa cause our defense was off the hook! this is a day for wide grins and contented sighs. :)
i considered going to dick's last night after the game to get a shirt, but decided i was too tired. but oh, i was so excited!! it took me a while to fall asleep, but i woke up feeling nice and refreshed - and it didn't hurt that the sun was shining!
i attempted to eat oatmeal this morning, but apparently my oatmeal was stale... i didn't even know oatmeal could GET stale, but this was just disgusting. i ate a few bites and then had to throw it out. lucky for me, someone at work made banana bread so i had a couple slices of that and a grapefruit with coffee. i'm considering going to trader joe's around lunchtime or maybe a little later because i'm totally out of salad fixins and i am desperate for some more tuscan white bean hummus and homemade whole wheat tortillas.
after work, i'll be going tanning, then heading to the gym for a massive workout - running, walking, maybe weights and elliptical, and an hour of yoga! i missed yoga yesterday at the gym, but had a good time running both saturday and sunday. saturday was another mileage record for me, but barely - 3.15 miles (previous record was 3.11 miles). i felt like i could have kept going, but the gym was ready to close since they close at 8 on sat and sun. sigh. maybe later this week i'll run more... or maybe on the cruise... haha. yeah, right. :)
i suppose i should do some work... peace out homes (or holmes, a la santonio)!

Here we go Steelers, here we go!
who wants to go to denny's for free breakfast on tuesday?! i'm dead serious. i don't look free food in the mouth (haha, actually, i DO)... if you were watching the superbowl (here we go steelers, here we go!), you may have seen the commercial for denny's proclaiming "a free grand slam for everyone in america" on tuesday from 6 am to i think 10 am. i'm totally down. i'm thinking go to the gym around 6, then head to denny's on the way to work. yay!
it's been a good weekend so far... yesterday i met the momster at ross park mall and yes, i bought some things. :) i bought a pink camelbak water bottle, a pair of shorts, and a pair of jeans. my mom bought me a pair of running shorts, too. the shorts were totally necessary, as the only shorts i had for the cruise were either gym shorts or shorts that are at least 2 sizes too big. the jeans were a good deal at $10.99 and a size smaller than i've been wearing (and yes, they fit!)... the camelbak is just really neat. i know, it's just a water bottle, but it's pretty cool - you have to bite down on it to suck the water up. it's taken me some time to get used to!
today was strangely productive for being superbowl sunday. i went to the gym, went grocery shopping, got gas for cobe, attempted to tan but hollywood tans was mysteriously closed at 3 pm, went to the library, made dinner, washed dishes, did laundry, cleaned up the house, took the trash and recycling to the curb, finished reading twilight and got a shower - all before 8 pm. that's a lot for me on a sunday! giant eagle was awesome today - they were having their version of a tailgate party with lots of free samples! i practically ate lunch there after the gym, haha. since i had been talking to lori on friday about doughnuts, i was suddenly hungry for one, so i got a glazed do-do from giant eagle. i'm about ready to eat it in a few minutes.
i heard dick's and jc penney are going to be open after the game if the steelers win... part of me is totally considering going. we're going into the 4th quarter now and the steelers are up 20 - 7. let's hope it stays that way!

i'm (not) a barbie girl in a barbie world.
i gots no skillz, that's for sure.
last night after our volleyball game (we won, naturally), i ventured into downtown pittsburgh for salsa night at bossa nova at the invitation of natalie and leandra. while it was good to be sociable for the night instead of just heading home, i will say this: it's terribly difficult to go out when your friends are all zoolanders - ridiculously good-looking. although she doesn't try at all, natalie is easily one of the most gorgeous people i know. and what really sucks is that she's super nice and smart, and not stuck-up in the least, so it's impossible to hate her. leandra is also pretty, and she's colombian, so she has the accent on her side. even though i had just finished my game, i had changed my clothes, i didn't smell, and i didn't think i looked awful... the reason i had decided to go was that natalie told me that guys will come over and ask you to dance all night and that it's not a big deal if you don't know what you're doing - everyone's just there to have a good time. well, sure, that's likely true in natalie's case, but it's certainly not the case for average-looking people such as myself. guys were asking her to dance all night... and when we were hanging out and talking, guys would literally shove past me to ask her to dance. not one guy asked me to dance. i did dance one dance, quite awkwardly i might add, with a guy that natalie asked to dance with me. he was a nice guy and kind of cute, but he was obviously not into dancing with me. i left around midnight and just felt awful until i was asleep. i had expected the night to be fun and a bit of an ego boost... but instead it was depressing and awkward and i ended my night feeling like the ugly, fat, socially retarded girl that no one asked to prom. i mean, i may as well have pooped in the middle of the dance floor the way everyone (except leandra, natalie and a nice guy named brandon) was avoiding me. sigh. i probably won't be going back to salsa night. aside from the obvious reasons, i'm also disappointed because i really WANTED to learn how to dance - it looked like so much fun! blah.
on to better, more cheerful things! yesterday before the game, i went to right by nature for some groceries and dinner. i loaded up on avocados (2 for $1! sushi tonight!!), blackberries, blueberries, sweet potato chips, and a grape kombucha tea. for dinner, i raided their hot and cold bars and ended up with the bargain of the night - flank steak (i was in a rare red-meat mood), rosemary roasted potatoes, garlic noodles, some sort of chinese coleslaw or something, elbow mac with greens, and a lovely spinach salad with asiago, dried cranberries, whole roasted pecans and green goddess dressing for a whopping $3.57!! this is like the best deal ever! i was pleasantly full (though not TOO full) and it only cost $3.57... amazing. i tried the grape kombucha tea with lunch today and i have to say, i'm not really impressed. maybe that's just because lori said it smells like sewer... i dunno. but anyways, about 90 seconds ago i shook it a little and opened up the top because i'm mildly autistic and now there's niagara grape kombucha wonder drink all over my keyboard, desk, blotter, and floor. right where fermented tea belongs. holla!
i'm really not feeling the gym tonight, but i feel like i have to go since i haven't hit it up since monday. i'm really excited about making avocado sushi for dinner, though! tomorrow my mom and i are planning to meet up either at ross park mall or pittsburgh mills to do some pre-cruise shopping. by pre-cruise shopping, i mean that she might buy something, but i most likely will not since i have negative dollars in my bank account even after today's payday. it'll be nice to get out and do something besides go to the gym, though, and i'll likely get at least one meal out of her. :) and sunday...
pittsburgh's goin to the superbowl!
ok, i'll readily admit that i'm not the biggest football fan. but when i DO watch football, the steelers are obviously my team. i just have a hard time sitting still through hours of tv, especially when it gets so tense sometimes! so i usually tune in for the last 5 minutes or so... but i'm going to make an effort to check in periodically during the game to see how dem stillers are doing. :)
happy friday, everyone!
