if I were moving any slower, I'd be going BACKward. (bam)

Whoops, it's been a while since my last post.

I've been just hanging out and loving life in Austin. There is definitely no other city I would rather be unemployed in BUT I would definitely rather be employed. I'm getting kind of worn down and stressed in the whole job search but I'm just going to keep plugging along and hopefully something will come up. I would really like to just spend the rest of my life doing odd jobs and enjoying Austin but, unfortunately, that's not real life. :/

SXSW is coming up and I am beyond pumped. Apparently going out in downtown Austin is basically free for 10 days straight. Hopefully, I will be volunteering some time and work for a launch party on that Monday - so that's super exciting and I'll have more to report on that later.

Maggie Mae is getting huge and causing all sorts of problems, of course. I'm working on training her to stop digging but it is definitely a challenge. I'll be filling in all of her current holes later today but that's fine because I love doing that stuff. Earlier this month I painted my dresser and I decided I just want to become a professional painter. :) My roommate works at Rework Project (http://www.reworkproject.org/ check them out, it's an awesome organization) and I'm hoping to bring in a couple of crates to put together for more storage. Maybe I'll just move to the streets and have her employ me as a Rework worker!!

Random picture time.

 I have had plenty of time to hit the gym so I am really creepy looking.

Also had some time to try a few new Pinterest recipes. This is the "Chubby Hubby" and though there were no hubbies to enjoy it, plenty of other people did! It's a peanut butter and chopped-up pretzel mixture dipped in chocolate. Delicious!

 My spoiled rotten puppy. This was at about 8 a.m. on a Sunday. I was not excited at the time.

 My half-finished dresser. I decided to make my room primarily teal, yellow, and pink. They don't really go together but they're my three favorite colors so why not!

My running is going really well. This was taken after running 13 miles last Thursday. I'm off to do an easy 6 or 7 today. Unfortunately, it is still really windy here but I'll do my best!


Okay, random/spaz post over. I hope the Oklahoma "blizzard" isn't messing up your day too much! I was planning to visit this weekend but it looks like I'll have to push it back to (hopefully) later this month. Looking forward to seeing you all then!
