100 things…

My goal today is to throw out 100 pieces of clutter.  So far I am up to 30….I need to get some cleaning done and by setting this goal in 10 item increments, I am going to make it!

shakin’ and quakin’

I think I felt the aftershock of the recent earthquakes last night.  I was sleeping, and I heard something bump around in my room, which woke me up, and I honestly think my bed was moving!  Nothing too extreme, but just enough to be felt.  Nothing fell of my walls (thank goodness, I have glassware and snowglobes on shelves that could break and cause a lot of issues), but something must have bumped around on my nightstand.

Make’em Laugh!

Last night several friends joined me for a fun evening, celebrating my impending birthday. First, we met up at Gameworks, which is a grown-up version of Chuck E. Cheese’s.  A couple of us were early enough to play a couple of arcade games and then we went to the restaurant for some dinner.  We also split some scumptious ice cream desserts as well.  By then, it was time to work our way to the nearby comedy club where four actors engage in improv games for our entertainment.  If you are not familiar with improv games, think of the show “Whose Line is it Anyway?” and then you will understand.  The show was hilarious and I hope we go back again soon!

 I have to say, it was a terrific evening!

Everybody was King Fu Fighting….

My faithful readers know that I have been subjecting myself to a 30 minute abs class with a highly motivated instructor.  Well, according to the park district catalog, Sharon also teaches a cardio-kickboxing class as well….right before the abs class…for an hour.  I am debating.  It sounds like fun, I like Sharon a lot, and it would be a great workout.  However, do I have it in me to take back-to-back workout classes when I am still pretty much a novice?  I’ll keep ya posted as to what I decide.

Age is only a number….

My birthday is rapidly approaching…

Grades!

Two of my spring classes ended and I have been waiting for the grades to be posted online.  I am pleased to announce that I earned an “A” in Negotiations and a “B” in Business Management and Theory!

a day behind…

I forgot to write a post yesterday.  There goes my streak!  No news to really update, but the day is still young.

Movies….

We have a Family Video in the area, just a couple blocks away.  I like the variety and cheap prices that they offer, so they have become my video store of choice.  I decided to get some movies, and I kept my mom’s preferences in mind.  I rented “Alvin and the Chipmunks” and “The Cronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” (in preparation for the upcoming release of “Prince Caspian”).  Since today is rainy and chilly, movies will be a nice way to spend the evening!

Sunglasses…the update

My faithful readers will recall that yesterday I reported losing my sunglasses, my Isaac Mizrahi “designer” sunglasses (that cost $17.00).  I bought another pair last night after Sharon’s workout class, the same exact pair.  Guess what I found this morning!  Yes, the missing pair.  Luckily I had not removed the tags from the new pair and I had the receipt, so I went to Target on my lunch break to return them, and now all is well.

April Showers…

I am very glad that it is raining today because I have misplaced my sunglasses! Grrr…. At least the overcast sky will spare me from squinting and I plan to run to SuperTarget after my 30 minute abs class tonight at the park district.  I know I had them last night when going to class, and somehow I didn’t have them when I left class.  Hopefully I will find a suitible replacement tonight!
