Tuesday 10...on Monday
Yes, I realize that today is Monday. But Monday 10 doesn't quite have the same ring to it that Tuesday 10 does. So bear with me. This week marks the start of another school year, which means my leisurely work days are over. Bring on the craziness. To begin this week on a positive note, here are 10 things that I'm liking a lot right now:
College football. Go Hoosiers! And Spartans (did you SEE that finish on Saturday?!)
Aarti Paarti - haven't tried any of her recipes yet, but she was my pick to win on the Next Food Network Star. And she won. And she got picked up for a second season.
Florence and the Machine (see old post) - I've been listening to her whole CD and it's pretty much fantastic.
My employees. They've been doing some awesome stuff and working really hard. Could be a great year.
McCabe's - had never been, but after spending most of Saturday there, I'm a fan.
Daily Pint - my softball team goes here on Sundays so I spent most of the late afternoon there yesterday watching the Colts crush the Giants. It was a great way to the spend the day.
AMC Movie Watchers - yes, movies are outrageously overpriced, but I can get $8 tickets from the CTO. Combine that with the Movie Watchers 'rewards' and I'm a happy movie goer. Plus I got a free popcorn the last time I went to a movie - score!
I ran another 5k on Sunday. I use the term 'ran' loosely. My activities on Saturday were not great techinques for run preparation, plus I haven't ran much since the last one. However, I signed up, I completed it, and it's over with. Go me!
Beloit College Mindset List - makes me feel old, but it is kind of funny.
Getting unexpected fun mail. Real mail, not e-mail. Very little beats that.
As I said, let the craziness begin - hope you are all having a great week!

VMA's
This past Sunday, my book club and I got tickets to the season premiere of the Ellen DeGeneres Show. It was a long day involving bus shuttles from Burbank to downtown Los Angeles, waiting around, not getting any sort of free giveaways, and massive amounts of mac and cheese (not related to the show, but still part of the Book Club Day). The lack of free stuff was a bummer, especially since my friends had convinced themselves they'd be getting at least an iPad, if not two plane tickets to anywhere in the continental US and a bottle of Cristal. Completely realistic, right? Those last couple sentences sounded really negative, but it was actually a lot of fun.
Anyways. The season premiere was hosted in Club Nokia and the theme was the MTV Video Music Awards, since the award show was going on about fifty yards away in the Nokia Theater. For the first hour or so, we just watched the live feed from the VMA's, which included a performance by Florence and the Machine. I had never heard of this group before, but I loved the song they performed. Check it out (it's not the VMA performance, just the music video. In case you couldn't tell...)
The actual Ellen show was pretty awesome too. The guests were Lady Gaga (crazy), Katy Perry, Usher, Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber. They didn't perform, but it was definitely entertaining.

Sneak Preview...
I realize it's been awhile since I've posted anything with actual words. That will change. Soon. Just not today. Instead, I will leave you with a sneak preview of what I've been up to for the past month or so...
