Am I living it right?

Hello! If I had to speak this entry, I wouldn't be making it. My voice is feeble at best today, so my director has evicted me from the file room until I'm well. Yay for not breathing dust all day and getting sicker.

Room For Squares is such a great CD. It's like a time capsule of the 21st-century twentysomething experience.

Most of our properties at work have nice descriptive names. Like New York/Herald Square, NY. Well, I'm working on a project in Niagara Falls right now, and my boss and I are entertained by the fact that it is not Near The Falls, as several of our other hotels are. The naming people seem stumped, so we have taken to calling it Niagara Falls/Nowhere Near The Falls. It is a sign of how long I've been here that I find this unspeakably hilarious.

Lately I'm realizing some not-so-good things about myself. Like the way I'd feel too afraid to move away by myself and start a new life, but doing so with a husband would be fun and exciting. I think I just don't want the responsibility for such a bold venture to fall on me, in case it goes bad. :P Also, the first thing I think of now when I think of moving is having to start over with vacation time at a new job. Isn't that terrible? In another two and a half years I get an extra week and I'm already looking forward to it.

I'm also frustrated with weight issues. Dieting just doesn't come naturally to me. I mean, I already eat pretty healthily, so the thought of reducing things further is depressing. I get hungry a lot. I like to eat things that taste good. I do not like feeling deprived. I do not want my life to revolve around a counting system. Also, if I exercised as much as I'm "supposed" to, I'd never see anybody. Several times recently when I could have taken a walk, I chose to spend time with Kathy since she was only home for a short time. My problem is that I put Enjoying Life ahead of Being a Toothpick. As long as this is the case, I guess I'll always be a little overweight. Sigh. I hope Evan keeps taking stock of my inner beauty. :P

Have I mentioned lately how great my cat is? I'm so glad I got him. I enjoy his company more and more- he has such a personality. Ryan is his favorite person. It's gotten so that when Ryan comes over, he runs in saying, "Where's my buddy?" and Gandalf bounds in to greet him. So funny.

Debs, home from spring break, is joining Ryan and I tonight for dinner. As Evan says, we're McAlisting.

Sorry this is so long and weird. I guess since I can't talk, I'm running on at the fingers. :)
