alpacas

I really want alpacas someday. Caroline, mom told me a while ago that as a Christmas gift or something you donated money to some alpaca thing where the money goes towards raising alpacas in third world countries so people can sell the wool for money. Woohoo that was a long sentence.
I want a bunch of alpacas so I can sell their fuzz and then donate it all to that same organization thing. Sounds like a pretty awesome plan, I must say.

new post!

Look, I'm posting, Merdifmerdif. It's snowing like bajeezus here today, so I'm the only one in the office. (Interwebs time!)

Anyways, I'm generally liking life right now. I've been working on some things I've wanted to improve on lately: get off my psychomeds, stop drinking coffee/caffeine, get back into the shape I was in 1.5 years ago, and start living in the moment/stop worrying so much.

So far: I'm off the meds! It's only been 2.5 weeks since I totally went off them, so we'll still need to see how I'm able to function without them for a while.

I've stopped drinking coffee everyday! Most days I don't even have it anymore, but I'm allowing myself unlimited tea (but only decaf/herbal after 4pm). You've known me for a while - this is huge.

Getting in shape.....ehhhhhh......we're getting there. I quit my gym membership last May because I was like, I play roller derby 2 or 3 times a week, and it's nice out, so I can just go for a run for free whenever. But running just never really happened, and no gym meant to weight lifting. Now I've got my gym membership back, it's just really hard to find times to go when I'm not at work or derby.

And living in the moment is just hard when so many more moments are coming up to worry about!

And yeah, so I got into this Leadership Development Institute at my agency, and I'm really excited about it! I'll be able to tell you more when it starts up.

So I'll be swinging thru DC on February 18 on my way down south for a southern roadtrip with Julia. We'll stay the night, leave Foofman with you, and then we'll be back on the 27th. We're going to try to leave early both of those mornings to be able to spend a good amount of time with you little girls. Sally, sorry, but you're the odd one out this time.

LAWL

Okay, Virginia is really starting to tick me off, it had been lightly sprinkling snow (if you can even say that) and they canceled all after school activities, okay fine, whatever, be a wuss. But now we have like an inch on the ground, and I don't think we're going to get a snow day. And they keep predicting 5 (yes 5 whole INCHES OF SNOW) but then we either get none or just a little.
So basically, here are three things that you need to know about Virginia:
1. Nobody is a good driver on nice days, let alone cold winter weather days, just stay indoors and away from windows
2. I'm pretty sure there are only three snow plows in the entire state, so obviously the slightest amount of snow is a big deal.
3. The weather equipment used on local television is shit

insomnia

I haven't had more than 4 hours of sleep per night in the last 7 days. This makes me angry.
