Pay Day. Finally.

This getting paid once a month thing is not my favorite when it comes to the last few days of the month. But today? This is me:

ALL The Money! Too bad a lot is going flying out of my account in the next few days. I’ll enjoy it while I can. Don’t get me wrong, I’m budgeting just fine…I just like a very healthy account balance. 🙂

In other news:

The BF met my Ocho friends this weekend. It went well.
I had an exceptionally lazy weekend: 2 hour nap Saturday, TV Marathon Sunday. I regret nothing!
It’s Game Week Baby! Go Big Red!
My roomie’s boyfriend is moving in with us, bringing my rent down from $600/month (plus utilities) to $333.33 each. In the month that I start paying my car loan this makes me INCREDIBLY happy!

Have a good one friends!

The most random things really do happen to me!

I was walking back to my office on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus when I saw Herbie Husker (The Nebraska Mascot!). I decided to get my picture taken with him. Herbie had other ideas! He reached out and held my hand, and that’s how we walked across campus; hand in hand, the entire way! We got a lot of stares on our trek. Since Herbie doesn’t talk it was a bizarre stroll! Before he left me, we took a selfie!

I’m pretty sure a man wears that mascot costume! 😉

I took my oldest nephew to the #husker football game today. Best aunt ever, or best aunt ever? #huskers

Friiii-day!

The I’m-spending money-like-I-have-it Edition.

I bought a new cell phone today. I’ve been eligible to upgrade since January. I like my Droid Razr. I’m fairly resistant to change. BUT the battery won’t make it through the day and I need something more reliable. So I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5. I hope it’s as awesome as people say. I hate spending money.
I’m taking my nephew to the Husker football game tomorrow. Should be fun. He’s nearly 8 years old and loves Husker football. I’ve already got him drinking the Kool-Aid. Love that kid. But those tickets will still cost me a chunk of change.
Tonight I’m going to Omaha for the First Friday walks in Benson. I’m pumped. I really can’t spend any more money because I have to remember that I don’t get paid every 2 weeks anymore. This once a month thing is going to be hard to get used to.
Busy weekend ahead. I’m already tired.

Have a good one friends!

Football Friday Five:

Please ignore the derpy look I have on my face. I was stealthily sneaking this selfie in my new office (which is still the current Membership Director’s Office as she retires at the end of the year.) But, College football is finally upon us! I’m back on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus (Go Huskers!) and it’s a long holiday weekend. Wins all around. AND we’re leaving at 2pm today. Hooray!
Today is also payday. And it’s my first payday at my new job with my new raise. Hello happy and flush bank account! 🙂
On that note, I’m going to buy my new running shoes after work today. Most likely these beautiful creatures in blue. Can’t wait.
I think I’m ready to jump back into the dating pool again. It has been 3 months since I last dated anyone. I think I’m ready to try again.
September looks to be very, very busy. I’m excited for it.

Look what I won! A football signed by the Nebraska football legend himself, Tom Osborne! #huskerfootball #huskers #sometimesihavegoodluck #nebraska

I don’t always dress like a biker chick. But when I do, I wear husker memorabilia and my motorcycle jacket!
What you can’t see are my sweet brown riding boots. I Love them!

In other news, I found my red skinny jeans! Success! I’m so excited!

Have a good night friends!

Things and Stuff

I haven’t run since Wednesday. Maybe I’ll run a few tonight on the treadmill. Maybe not. I’m ok either way.

I’m so very sad that I’m not in the Twin Cities to see you all run the Marathon. I miss my friends.

It has been a year since the Chicago Marathon. That was one of the coolest experiences of my life. I’m feeling a little sad this weekend. I miss seeing everyone. I miss the rush of the Marathon experience. Running a Full is something that no one can ever take away from you. I’ve done that. It’s awesome.

Part of me wants to do another Full. The logical part of me knows that I’m good with one and done. (plus, my doctor said no more Fulls!)

I think I’m going to sign up for the Ugly Sweater 5k run in Omaha in December. It’s fun to run and maybe something the Lincoln Tumblrs could do together?

I have to work at the Station this afternoon. We have a postgame show after the Nebraska game. I dislike those. The Huskers are kicking butt right now. Go BIG RED!

It’s chilly here…50’s, cloudy, windy and crisp. I broke out my skinny jeans and boots. Love that!

I’m working on not over-thinking everything. I’m really good at that. It doesn’t do me any good but causes me un-needed stress and tension. I’m really good at creating problems that aren’t there in the first place. Someone please remind me to get over myself.

Have a great weekend friends!

Good things on a Friday

First of all, it’s Friday!! Despite the fact that I have to work all day at the station tomorrow (we have the UCLA-Nebraska game, so I have a pre and post game show to run!) Its awesome that’s it’s finally Friday.
The weather is AWESOME. 70’s, low humidity, perfect almost-fall day. Yes please!
I had a great run this morning. (Always puts me in a good mood!)
3 different people at 3 different times told me how good and fresh I smell. I’ve been told this before. I’m not sure what they are smelling…my hairspray, just my natural scent or the lotion I put on today (sweet cinnamon pumpkin!) but I love the compliments! 🙂 Made me feel good.
I curled my hair today. Always makes this girl feel pretty.
