Extremely random...

I don't know what's gotten into me, but I've been so productive this weekend (not like its a bad thing). Normally I'm not, on the weekends anyway. This weekend I've: Done laundry, cleaned and organized my bathroom, did errands, vacuumed out my car, bought 2 Christmas presents (never can start too early!), had lunch with a friend, ran 2 miles, cleaned and organized my room (including junk drawer), and kept my 5 year old shih-tzu calm during a ridiculous storm (for those of you who know her, know that's a major task). I feel happy of myself (Wake up with Taylor reference!)!!

Totally off topic, but I really, really miss playing soccer. I miss everything about it; being in amazing shape, getting to hang out with my friends, the game, the feeling of assisting/making a goal, it taught me so much. Thanks to the US Womens National team, they've helped bring some interest back to the game in the US, but I wish more people really had an interest like the rest of the world does. I sometimes wonder if I hadn't tore my ACL if I would have played in college, or been doing something along the lines of marketing the game on the business side of things.

I finally had the chance to catch up with a great friend on Wednesday night with the "Girls Night Out" promotion at Northglen ($5.50 for the movie AND free popcorn... you bet I'm there!). We saw "Crazy Stupid Love" with Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carrell and Julianne Moore; seriously one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I really thought it was going to be a predictable chick-flick... SO not the case. If you have the opportunity (even if its not for $5.50), go see it, it's great!

Is anyone else having the quarter of a century crisis? Seriously, almost everyone I know my age is in some kind of a rut. Which some of it I can understand because this is the time we are suppose to be struggling, but everyone is in some kind of depression. I'm single, no boyfriend (no prospects either), no kids, graduated college with honors (not that it really did much good), and am in a job I dislike... GO ME! This is suppose to be my prime right? I'm doing what I want, when I want, but its a lot harder to have fun when all my friends are married or in a serious relationship. And I know you're probably thinking, "just go out more and you'll meet someone," but going out isn't that much fun to me. Once in a while, sure, but how many quality people do you meet in a bar? I know its happened, but c'mon, we all know what guys are looking for when they meet a girl in a bar and sorry, it ain't happenin with this girl. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!

This may be the most random post I've ever wrote in my entire life.
