My Thrill in Life is....
Breakfast Burritos!! Yes I'm being serious. Does that make me sound like a loser? You know what I don't really care because breakfast burritos are just about the best thing to ever happen to me. I mean I'm a fan of most burritos in general but there is just something about the breakfast kind that I just really love. Today I decided to take a nice little walk to work since we are actually having spring (ok it's actually more like summer) right now in Boston which is pretty much unprecedented. On my normal route I pass by an Anna's taqueria. I may have noticed the other day that they are now currently serving breakfast burritos at this location. I have sampled the illusive Anna's breakfast burrito once before, back when they only offered them at the MIT location. That first time I had one it was all I could have asked for and more, and let me tell you this time it did not disappoint either. The only strange part was that the guy who was making my burrito guessed my name correctly from seeing my "A" necklace, weird!! But I let it slide since the brekki burrito was top notch. This may have to become a new walking to work Friday tradition :)

Current Things That Piss Me Off
It's about that time to take a look at all the things that make me want to punch someone in the face:
1) Sometime in the last week the toilet paper at work has changed from adequate to a fine grit sandpaper. How about you take back my pathetic recent merit increase and use that money toward appropriate softness TP?
2) The disregarding of deadlines at work, why should I be busting my butt to get things done on time if no one else is?
3) Random text messages. If you don't have anything important to say to me, don't send me a text!
4) Spring Allergies- this one is self explanatory especially if you are dealing with this as well
5) Don't ask me for my phone number if you are not planning to call.
6) Bitches giving me the stink eye, settle down I'm not trying to steal your man.
7) Having to wait for a table even when you have a reservation.
8) People dressed inappropriately for the weather- I know it was "warmer" yesterday but it wasn't summer clothes weather.
9) Don't skip my songs on the jukebox-I'll be super pissed and I'll let everyone know it, I want to hear my Usher!
10) I know I look younger than I am, please don't argue with me about it. If I say I'm 31 it's because I am actually 31.

Do You Like Me? Confirm or Deny
When you are a busy lady such as myself, you don't have time for the games and general BS of dating. Although some people may find dating fun and interesting I simply put find it as a means to an end. First dates are one of my least favorite activities. I mean honestly, here is how they can go down.
If it's a set-up (worst first date experience ever) you may not even know what the person looks like (ok who are we kidding you obviously already sufficiently stalked them all over the internets), but worse off is you probably don't know much about them except for the fact that they are single too. Generally I avoid the set up for that reason since for the most part it is one of your loved up couple friends who wants you to meet a single friend and the only reason they want you to get together is because you are both single. Sorry dudes, I'm picky and you being single is not going to make me swoon.
Ok next scenario, say you met this dude at a bar last Friday night. What are they chances that you accurately remember what he looks like? Probably depends on how many scorpion bowls you sucked down before you made out with him in the corner. At the time you obviously liked him enough to give him your digits and he probably texted you (hell would have froze over if he called so we know that didn't happen) and you had nothing better going on so you agreed to meet. You will probably know within 10 seconds of seeing this dude at the restaurant/dive bar that you met up with him at if you like him , i.e. instead of the tall, dark and handsome guy you remember he is actually short, fat and balding.
Then you have say the guy that you know, you know the one that texts you and emails you, maybe he even called you on the phone (GASP!) once or twice. You've certainly flirted, maybe even had an MO sesh or two but you are not really sure if it is going anywhere. This is where I propose to stop the bullshit and just get down to business. It's kind of like the middle school note with the check boxes except for the 21st century you'll send it in a text message.
So the next time that I may actually like someone, watch out boys cuz I'm coming at you with total honesty and I want the same in return. Do you like me too? Please advise asap!

Resolution Check in:Boys don't Change
Now that we are two weeks into the new year I thought it was time to evaluate how I am coming along with my "resolutions". Let's talk about getting things done on the weekends, if that means getting drunk at 2pm on big beers at the Pour House and then steamrolling the Corner Tavern at 5pm then I accomplished a lot last Saturday. Lucky for me we had a snow day this week and while I was "working" from home I got the stuff done that I had planned to do over the weekend. See Exhibit A below (I put that shit together, yo!):
I really really really want to buy a new purse and I am holding off on that, so that is following my stop making impulse buys so instead I am going to start saving for my new purse love, check it out in Exhibit B y'all:
Isn't she lovely? Lots of pennies need to be saved for this one, it will be quite some time before she is mine :( What I am really getting at here on my resolutions is that I need to remind myself to follow this little rule that I came up for myself just 2 short weeks ago, If someone is not making you happy, cut them out! I seem to have a problem getting it through my little head that boys will be boys and I cannot expect them to change. I need to stop waiting around for a dumb boy to ask me out, it's been a month and it hasn't happened, I need to move on. In conclusion, if there are any new boys out there, I'll be at the Corner Tavern tonight (so much for that resolution!).

New Year, New Life
I have always hated the thought of New Year's Resolutions. I was a firm believer of if you want to change something you should do it when you think that you need to change it and not wait for a certain milestone to do so. I have just had a real feeling though this year of starting fresh, and am very excited about 2011. So I have come up with a list of ways that I'm going to improve my life, not necessarily resolutions, just words for me to live by in the new year:
-Fed up at work-starting the job search, slowly and carefully. Looking for a real career here not just another job that I'm going to ultimately hate!
-If you are out on the town and you want some MO, go get some! (Made it happen to start the new year off right!)
-When you are feeling tired, lazy, fat, sick, have a headache or whatever, suck it up and go to yoga!
-If someone or something in your life is making you unhappy or better yet is not making you happy cut them/it out.
-Don't try to change people or make someone out to be something they are not.
-Make more quality time for friends and family.
-Watch less TV, but certainly not less HGTV (love that channel!)
-Get more stuff done on the weekends, as in projects I have been meaning to do for years (mainly finally finishing my dresser.)
-Save for big purchases instead of making impulse buys.
-Be more open to dating and meeting people in general (sadly this may mean less time at the Corner Tavern as I think I need to branch out a bit)
-Write on this blog more!
Although it's a kind of long list, I think that it's reasonable and I will try my best to make it happen. Hopefully I can make the last item happen and then the progress can be seen right here!
Happy New Year Y'all!

My "Personal" Ad
So I've heard from a lot of people that I should do online dating which I have absolutely no interest in, but I thought if I was going to do something like that what would I actually write about myself, so here is my masterpiece. I'd get a ton of hits don't you think?
Seeking: Man in late 20's/early 30's who is smart, funny and attractive as I am also smart, funny and attractive (see picture). I am available one week night a week and potentially sunday late afternoon/evenings. The remainder of my time is spent sleeping, working, doing yoga and spending time with my friends. If I actually like you after a few dates (chances are you won't get past #1, but here's hoping!) another weeknight after yoga or possibly a weekend night could become available to you. All other times are non-negotiable.
Here is a little bit about myself
Likes-Bikram yoga, unsweetened iced tea, making out, sleeping in, grey goose + lemons, pizza, shoes and purses
Dislikes-mandels, cancelling plans, noticeable tattoos, zucchini(since you will probably be cooking for me you should know it's my least favorite vegetable) and cats

OMG, a new blog post.
Is it just me or are phrases such as OMG becoming part of the English language? WTF, I'm not going to say I don't use them because I most certainly do, but all of a sudden they are popping up in random weird places like...WORK! I get LOL all the time over work email (and that means laugh out loud people, not lots of love, but that is a whole different story) and I think it is quite strange. Believe me I am not the most professional person in the world but I do my best to not swear and to not use silly acronyms that I save for my personal life. I also like to save the drama for my mama, but evidently no one else at work feels that way either. I'm starting to feel like I'm the most normal person that I work with and that my friends is scary! A bit of advice then is if you send me an email with something like "OMG that was totally my fault, lol" I will not take you seriously in the workplace.

Allisson
