Random Ramblings

Random stuff that has crossed my mind the past several days:

Why do you have to pay for air at certain gas stations? Seriously.  It's air.  Shouldn't it always be free?  I refuse to pay when I need to air up my tires.  Thankfully 711 and a few other stations provide it for free.  Conoco, get with the picture.

I am addicted to Starbucks Coffee Light Frappucino's.  Two days in a row I drove out of the way to a Starbucks to get one.  Today I ended up with a Venti.  Why in the world did I get a Venti?  I mean, it's massive.  Of course, I drank it all anyway.  I'm pretty sure this obsession is soon to be replaced by Pumpkin Spiced Latte's.  Oh how I love fall!

Speaking of fall...it's like 82 outside right now.  I. AM. SO. EXCITED.  Sooooooo excited!  I literally debated grabbing a long sleeve cardigan for church this morning.  But, I didn't want to look ridiculous.  It's in the 80s still...not 55.  But it feels so amazing outside!  Why am I inside blogging right now??

I've started taking Body Pump twice a week at Gold's Gym.  Besides Zumba, this is my favorite group class at Gold's.  It's basically a group weight training class.  You have the big bar with the weights you load on the side and the instructor leads you through all sorts of exercises (lunges, squats, bicep curls, triceps, etc) in an hour long class.  Let me tell you, IT IS HARD!  My first week, I was literally about to die afterwards.  Muscles shaking, twitching, and SORE.  I was sore for almost the rest of the week, probably because I hadn't done any weight training for 3 months.  After starting my new job, I was no longer able to take my weekly group class with my amazing personal trainer friend Elizabeth.  I'm glad to have found this other class as an alternative though.  Now if I can just get my diet on track, things would be great :)

I got flipped off twice last week.  TWICE!...by the same woman.  I was on my way to church and pulled up to a stop light behind another car.  I wasn't thinking and ended up blocking the entrance to a gas station. I usually am pretty nice about remembering so that people can pull in but I was kind of in an early morning daze.  Anyway, this lady was trying to pull in and apparently it just ruined her entire day that I blocked the entrance, so she VERY BLATANTLY flipped me off.  She proceeded to turn into the entrance BEHIND me that wasn't blocked and pulled up the pump right next to where I was still stopped at the light.  She looked at me and once again, very aggressively, flipped me off!  I actually just started laughing at this point, which I'm know she saw and it probably pissed her off more.  I literally couldn't believe her reaction.  I kinda felt bad for her actually.  She obviously has some serious issues if she's getting all upset over something like that.  

I got some blonde highlights in my hair last week but I'm kinda disappointed. They're not as blonde as I would have liked.  I mean it looks nice, just not what I had pictured.  Next time I go back, I'll have to make sure she picks a brighter blonde.  This is more amber than I wanted.  

I've decided I will no longer work at a job if I don't love doing it anymore.  I think with this new job, I've finally realized how awesome it can be to totally be doing something you love.  And I can't go back.  Nope.  If I don't love doing it, then it's time to move on.  Life is way to short to stay stuck in a place that you only view as punching a clock in order to get paid.  Even if what I'm doing doesn't pay a ton, it far outweighs doing something you hate. 

That's all I got folks.  Time to go Zumba.  Thanks for sitting through my ramblings.
