Hellooooo Arkansas!

I'm back in cute little Fayetteville this week. I must say, as much as I love Texas, I can see how this would be a fun college town and I'm even developing a little Razorback fever. In no way will I ever be able to cheer for them when they play my beloved Longhorns (will they still play them now that the divisions went all wonky???), but if they're playing someone else, I might be compelled to try out a "Soooieee!" call.

Mission of the week: Must must must hit up the hotel workout room on a regular basis. Non-negotiable. I'm also going to try to snap a few pics of some of my fave AR places and share them here.

Pluses and Minuses of the Day

Yay!
The problem with my car turned out to be a recall issue, meaning they fixed it for free :) And since I had to go to the dealership this morning, on the way in I treated myself to a delicious chai latte from Starbucks (nonfat of course). AND I randomly won a Lilly dress on ebay tonight that I decided to submit a completely lowball bid on right before the auction closed. Woohoo!

Nay...
Despite my best intentions all day, I got lazy right at the critical time and did not actually go to the gym :( And AT&T remains the bane of my existence - my snazzy new tv still gets zero channels as for some unknown reason, they have decided to block the completely free local channels in an attempt to hold them hostage until I pay for some overpriced satellite package I don't want and won't use. Whatev, I have Netflix.

New Place, New Blog

Well, I guess I should say "New Place, First Blog Ever" since "new" implies it's replacing something old and this is actually my first foray into the blogosphere. Though I do love reading other people's and am oddly interested in the lives of several strangers I've never met. So why am I starting my own little life chronicle? I certainly don't consider my life especially interesting or spectacular, but it does suit me just fine. Especially lately, things have been going really well and I feel like I'm in a really positive place right now. As to the "new place," I just moved into a new apartment this weekend and this just felt like the perfect time to start up the blog I'd been thinking about for a while.

Not really sure how to jump into this so for now, I'd just like to reflect on my great weekend - the move went well, got to spend lots of time with friends and family, had some delicious food and fun times. I really couldn't have asked for more!
