1. First and foremostly important: Flu shot day today. Owwww...mom, my arm hurts... boo-hoo-hoo.
2. I soooo wanted to go running intead of get read for work this morning. SO BADLY.
*responsibility grumble*
* insert mental picture of me angrily driving to work. angry even though it's a beautiful day and the sun is shining. Sometimes I wish I were 5 so I could eat sugary cereal and watch cartoons and play with my friends all day long and my mom would clean up after me and I would get afternoon naps and...I could go running whenever I wanted..because 5-year-olds get to do that stuff.*
3. Buuut...I have a job interview today. In less than 2 hours!!!!
* fingers crossed? pretty please *
Yes, I'm leaving my dreamy job. ...As soon as I can find one to replaaace it...
Yes, it makes me sad. I even cried. A lot. It has probably taken me a year to decide. A literal year.
But no, that doesn't change my mind. It's the right thing to do. (Plus I finally want to.)
Except for when it makes me cry.
Unless it makes me cry because it's insane.
Then I still want to leave.
Let's not explore that topic any longer. :)
4. Um, I'm missing the Dirty Dash tomorrow morning...AAAUAUAUGHGHHGHGHGH :( It breaks my little heart. I love that race. Remember? so muddy. so.much.fun.
I feel sad inside. But I still have to miss it.
5. Why? Well, a few weeks ago, I got this little letter in the mail, telling me good news and bad news.
Good news:
Yaaaayyyy, I made it past the first audition round! wooooooo *applause, we can cut the excitement with a knife! I had to pick everything else up off the ground after ripping into my mailbox and destroying the envelope in which this glorious little letter traveled to get to me...okay, you get the picture *
Bad news: It's on the same morning as the Dirty Dash.
dirty. rotten. luck.
Sidenote: Two days ago, it was so cold in my office my right hand froze. I had to keep sitting on it to warm it up. I need it to use the mouse. You can see how this was obviously slowing down my productivity...
Today it is so hot I want to die. WHY?
Anyway.
6. To cheer myself up from missing that run I wanted to take this morning, I drove to work drinking a Jamba Juice and rocking out to Owl City, which just so happened to be on the radio. Plus, it's fall outside. My FAVORITE time of the year. Super duper fave.
This was really great until I looked around and felt like I was the female version of a former boyfriend.
CRIMENY.
Change radio station, keep drinking the Jamba Juice. (not the smoothie's fault.) Try not to let it bother me. This happens sometimes. But it's really really close to not bothering me anymore at all. Apparently I take a long, long time to get over something after I commit to it. Luh-AME. I bet that personality trait'll come in handy someday, though...
7. I accidentally dropped my new friend, the iPhone, on the ground this morning. It was not scathed in any manner whatsoever. Yessssssssssssssssss. Excellent.
8. I got to see this girl for a whole couple HOURS last night: (cepfer we weren't on the beach. guh.)
Best. Idea. Ever. Utah State roommate times were accidentally a LONG time ago. I've missed her. She is much funny. ...Even though she spent the latter half of the evening poking fun at me for having an iPhone instead of a Droid. Quite frankly, I feel like the situation should have been reversed, except she had this REALLY GREAT interval singing/training/musically-geeks-me-out app on it that is apparently only made for Droids.
drat. kick a trike over. :) (it's okay, iPhone, I'm very happy with you. We just need to find that app, okay? okay.)
9. I keep combing the ksl classifieds for a new snowboard for myself this year. I want one. I have a problem. My old one shall not suffice. Every other day I wish to go snowboarding again. Tilt head to the left. See that yellow one? Minus the corny GIRL POWER sticker, it's going to be mine as soon as the chick goes down about...$80. Sheesh. Pretty sure I can make her, though. Just look for me on the slopes on that baby this year. Done and done.
It's okay that it's not snowing yet. I still need all my time with the fall leaves. I'm not wishing them away before they've really come. I'm just planning ahead is all.
10. This post is over. You may now comment.

ummm... do you by chance know the name of the geeky ear training app because it sounds like a dream... now I am dying to know! :)
1. I like the lacey shirt you are wearing in that one picture.
2. I know what you mean about crying when you're thinking about moving on. I seriously want to cry whenever I think about leaving my job, and then I remember that if I don't do it, I'll be stuck here forever. Which is not OK by me.
3. Congratulations on making it to the next round! Woot!
4. Autumn is also my favorite time of year.
5. Yesterday I was told that I am "NOT ALLOWED" to run. It only made me want to run -- for the first time in my life. I hate running. But I think I hate being told I can't run even more.
What makes me happy about this post is I am not learning most of these things by reading it... I kinda know about your life. Even your cold hand. and Mr. Mullet-Hands or whatever his name is. Anyway, I think this is all fabulous. :)
Congrats on the second audition! They would be lucky to add you!
I'm sad your leaving the office! They are going to wish they demoted the shipping boys now! Also the office is hotter than Hades and I will not return until it is fixed!!
congrats on motab.
where is the new job?
what is the new job?
it hurts my heart when i can't come hang out with you for a couple hours.
before too long i will be in a picture on your blog about catching up with old friends.
ummm, I love that picture! And I think at some future point we should end up hanging out on a beach again. Solid.
Just for the record... you loved jamba juice, and owl city, and fall all before said past boyfriend. So, continue on in your coolness. :)
How was the interview?
You're my hero. And I love you.
First of all: CONGRATULATIONS ON MAKING IT PAST THE FIRST AUDITION ROUND! I have such a good feeling in my heart and soul when I think about you being in that magnificent choir, Dee. Gives me happy little goosebumps, is what!
Also, I love this post. I sometimes think in lists, and I think it's great that you posted in a list.
I so need to catch up on my blog...
