i'm back!!

After spending some time with JZ and AMR over break, I realized a couple of things:
1) I need to switch from hotmail to gmail
2) I need to start going to the gym
3) Blogging is still fun, and a great way to keep in touch with people beyond facebook
4) Google Reader is a more efficient way to view material on the internet
5) I want an iphone (but I really have absolutely no excuse to get one right now)

So, I'm going to pick this blogging thing back up again, at least for a while.

Do you remember that episode of Sex & the City where Miranda buys all new bedding?

Miranda : I'm trying to change my bed karma. I figure if I can make my bed a place I really want to be, others will feel the same.
Carrie : Aah, the Field of Dreams.
Miranda : Exactly. If you build it, he will come.

I'm doing the same. I bought this today along with a new down comforter and new sheets. I normally do not spend this much money, but I'm working towards a goal of having a classy living environment instead of what I have now, which is basically a college dorm. My lease on my studio ends in July, and I hope to move into an actual one bedroom in a more expensive building.

The other big news is that I have lost five pounds since my heaviest weight. I went to Trader Joe's last Tuesday and bought $50 worth of healthy foods. Since then, I have been as happy about healthy meals as I was when I was eating delicious, but bad food.
