Here I come TRI & GMAT!!!


So, for the next three months, I've set two lofty goals for myself. To participate in and complete the Catalina sprint triathlon AND to study for and take the GMAT and get a good score.

I'm super pumped for both of them. It's gonna take a lot of dedication and hard work. And...I'm thinking my napping days are over for the time being. So, if I sound like or look like a zombie for the next few months, you'll know why ;)

P.S. That's totally me in that photo up above. Except for the fact it looks nothing like me. But, it TOTALLY is anyway ;)

Fainting Goats


Yeah, you read correctly. This is just.....BIZARRE. There is a such thing as a "fainting" or myotonic goat. Interesting video footage here.

Can you imagine if we all tensed up and fainted whenever we got startled or excited? While it wouldn't be so humorous if someone was, say, driving on the freeway or performing brain surgery...it sure would be pretty entertaining if it occured with our normal day-to-day activities. Now I SOOO want to meet a fainting goat!!

Baby MANIA!!!


It seems as though everyone is popping out babies around me! I'm flying up North this weekend for my cousin's baby shower who is having twin identical boys. I'm sure raising two bundles of joy at the same time will be a piece of cake!

And, two of my coworkers are both having babies within the next few months, not to mention Ryan's sister, and my other cousin too! AND two of our fam friends have had babies in the past month. What's up with all the babies?!?! Looks like lots of couples were getting busy during the holidays last December ;)
