So my goal was to start blogging again, but really, I have a boring life that revolves around work, my hobby of the month before I get bored and move on, my weekend trips to see my parents and/or sister, bridesmaid stuff, and of course whatever social media obsession is going on.
Here we go...
Exercise :Since my last blog in June, I've lost about 12 lbs., yay me. I know I need to bulk up and start gaining in muscle mass (and no, that is not my real abs in my Facebook picture - I made a youtube on how I faked my abs with makeup), but that hasn't been so successful. I've gone to 1 cycling class with my roommate which ended up in failure as I broke my bike in the middle of class, and now my membership to 24 Hr Fitness has expired, and I don't really want to renew it. Why? Because I never use it! What's the point.
I would go running with my roommate, but she's super fast and I cannot keep up with her! So...I've been doing my walk-jogs. Walking more than jogging, but at least I'm keeping my heart rate up. My last episode with jogging was funny as I was locked out of my apartment complex because the stupid code wouldn't open up the stupid door. So for the first time since college, I contemplated jumping over the fence. Not so wise thinking on my part, and being the oh-so responsible person that I am now (hah), I sat in front of the entrance gate waiting for someone to enter so I can walk in. Mind you, this is Thanksgiving Day, and NO ONE is coming in. So I wait a few more minutes, and then plop... my favorite Nike watch I've had since 2003 that I bought in NYC fell off my wrist. Bummer.
Anyways, I was late to Thanksgiving at my brother's fiance's family's home because I had to wait for a car to pull up and let me in.
Black Friday: I'm on a freaking budget, but I would still like to go window shopping. So my big sis, Dimple, kindly invited me out to the First Colony Mall in Sugar Land to go shopping with her and of course, me not having anything to do nor nothing on my list to buy, I accepted.
Oh, my freaking gosh, we were there for a record breaking 6 hrs. I think I have shin splints for standing and walking around so long. All the clothes blurred together - talk about getting dizzy. I watched a lady sell the hair straightener to Dimple, and they totally negotiated the straightener down! If you want to know how much, email me and I'll give you the price. Did I buy anything you might ask? Actually, I didn't buy a single thing except a McFlurry.
Anyways, didn't do much afterwards except buy a bottle of wine, killed it, ate gouda cheese, and then I went to bed. Wow, what a life.
The Public Library: I'm going to support the Houston Public Library I've decided! As nerdy as this sounds, I grew up in the Public Library when I was a kid. We couldn't afford books, and my Father was an advocate for borrowing and returning books and I spent nearly every Summer in the Irving Public Library since I was 6, and as I got older, I spent more time there doing my homework and it eventually became the hangout spot for kids like me who had overprotected parents and could only socialize at the library. Sad, I know.
Plus, the public library has a BADASS A/C. When I was in high school, the apartment that we lived at SUCKED and the central A/C unit always failed in the summer...so where did I go..yes, the public library.
The public library has a special place in my heart. And now ladies and gentlemen, I am a proud holder of the Houston Public Library Card. I checked out 2 books!
Twitter: Why am I so obsessed? It's probably because I have no life and I think it's fun to broadcast how lame my life is and have the whole entire world know what I'm doing at all time. But wait, there's a catch to it all!
"Why Thinh-Tawn, what's the point?" you might ask. Well there is a POINT. The point is that my life is now a game, and I get to EARN POINTS for my lame life. Remember SimCity? Yea, it's kind of like that. I blame my friends Brenda and Ferrell for getting Esme and I hooked on it. So you get to become Mayor of a place (and it some cases you get free stuff for Mayorship from certain establishments for being a consistent Patron), but then you have the opportunity to be ousted. It's all fun and games. There are tons of place I don't broadcast for the sake of my safety, but for the most part it's fun.

Again, lame, I know! But I do use it for other purpose too, I'm trying to build my followers so that I can make a difference in spreading the word. Not gospel folks, but of social change and community partnerships...we'll get there when we get there. But in the meantime, follow me! And yes, there is a purpose to my madness.
Ok, so this is a super long post, especially for me, so I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks.
