I'm also hoping I can pick out a more fun color...or at least get black. And I'm not sure I'm buying their reassurances that the seat on this bike is made for a more comfortable ride. It looks like a thin piece of plastic to me.
Tuesday
6 months until Christmas
6 months until Christmas...or 6 months after Christmas...regardless of how you look at it, that day is MY BIRTHDAY!! If you know me at all you know that birthdays are my absolute FAVORITE thing! Not just mine (though, that is my favorite birthday) but just birthday celebrations in general! Anyway, mine is less then 100 days away (there is always a countdown) and I have decided that I want a bike. Currently, I have my heart set on this one--a Trek FX7.3 WSD--but I haven't had a chance to test ride it yet (which they let you do at the stores now!).
Happy Easter Weekend!
What a GLORIOUS weekend! I loved every minute of it!!
Friday, I had the day off because it was Good Friday. So I woke up and went to spinning class which has become my latest obsession. I even looked at cycling shoes online the other day because eventually I'd like to get an actual bike. But it turns out I have no idea what to look for when it comes to cycling shoes so I'm going to hold off.
I did see a picture in a magazine just yesterday of Lance in his sweet cycling shoes and I think it was a sign. :)
When I got back home, I stopped by the office and picked up my planner!! It is everything I hoped for and more! It does have some excess items like a place for addresses and phone numbers which I'll never use because that's what my phone is for. But the calendar part of it is what I want.
Laura and I sat out on the patio for most of the morning until she had to go to work in an attempt to get some sun. It didn't work for me. After Laura left for work, I took my dear sweet time getting ready and then headed over to M&D's to help get ready for dinner and wait for Damla and J.B.!! Dinner Friday night was delicious and hilarious as always. We enjoyed some appetizers outside on the patio, the lovely weather, and each others company!
Saturday morning I woke up before everyone else (per the usual) so I went to yet another spinning class (seriously, I'm addicted). Then I came home, played around with Damla and J.B. and then we got ready for our lunch adventure. This one was to 96th Steakburgers which I have to say that I like less then Five Guys but is still quite delicious!! After lunch Damla and J.B. had to leave so I headed home. I was planning on taking a nap but then decided I didn't want to be at home alone so I put on some blue and white and headed over to Broadway to hang out with the guys over there. Excellent decision on my behalf! I hadn't seen those guys in what felt like FOREVER so it was so fun to play with them all again! Plus some other of my favorites were over (The Troyer's and Caitlin!) and to top it all off...BUTLER WON!!
After the game, and 7 more games of "Ok, you go" we headed into Broad Ripple to see what the rest of the world was doing. I made it home just after 3 quite pleased with my decision not to nap because it turns out I didn't need one. Kamm, you should be proud.
Sunday was beautiful and I spent almost the entire day out on the patio. I even managed to get some color on my arms. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that I was actually getting some sun and it's not very even but I have a feeling it will fade in about a day. Sunday night I went over to M&D's for Easter dinner. Mommy really outdid herself once again and I left uncomfortably full. And that was the weekend!

The Countdown Continues!!
Only 67 days until my Grand Tour of Italy trip!! More details on that as it gets a little closer. But in preparation, I will be purchasing these lovely shoes.
Wednesday
Not just for cars
Dear Future Husband,
I'd like to name our kids after cars. Don't worry, nothing crazy like Volkswagon or Volvo. More along the lines of Porsche, Bentley, Mercedes, and Cooper (Mini). Imagine how easy it will be decide what to get them for their Sweet Sixteen!! Just think about it for now. We'll discuss this when the time comes.
Love,
Emel

Office hours suck
My planner was delivered!! Unfortunately it was delivered to the office of my apartment complex which is conveniently (or rather inconveniently) open from 9-5 which sucks when you work from 7-6 like I do. So, I shall have to wait until Friday (my day off!!) to stroll down there to pick it up.
Good news though. 4 days later and my room is still SUPER clean. I even hung stuff up this morning after trying it on and deciding I didn't feel like wearing it. I've heard that if you do something for 28 days in a row it becomes a habit. So maybe in 24 more days, I'll be really good at keeping my room clean. Keep your fingers crossed!!
Once I become a neat freak, I wonder what my next life improvement should be...
Also, here is my most recent song obsession for your enjoyment.

Together again!!
My roommate Stef went on Spring Break last Thursday but due to our busy schedules I didn't get to see her Monday-Wednesday. She returns late this evening and needless to say, I'm excited for our apartment to be complete again!! Welcome home Stef!
Monday
It's all coming together!!
So, even though the weekend seemed like it was tarnished on Friday night when Purdue lost their game to Duke, things actually turned out okay. Saturday I tackled the project of cleaning my room. Laura walked by at one point and said "Whoa." It was pretty bad. But in my defense, at the point she walked by, I had decided to do my spring cleaning and had emptied half my closet on to my bed and onto the floor...in addition to whatever was already there. But after all that hard work, I have to say that the left side of my closet looks FABULOUS!!
The right side could still use some work but frankly, the tubs are necessary for me to fit in small spaces.

My planner comes tomorrow so more good things to come. In addition, Damla and J.B. arrive on FRIDAY and I cannot wait!! Oh how I hope this week passes by...and that this cold/allergy thing I have going on goes away. I had to leave work at lunch today because I spent more of my morning sneezing and blowing my nose then I did actually typing. So, I took a sick day, went to my parents house, and let my mom take care of me. Even though my nose was still running and I was still sneezing when I left, I still felt better. Mommy's are good like that.
