That Time I Didn't Blog for Weeks Then Announced...

I'm moving to Denver, CO. 

I've had the itch to move since I graduated college. This past Friday I received the THE call. I was offered a position with a Denver Uni and I hit the road (U Haul included) for the Mile High City August 12th. Though being ready to leave and so much excitement running through my veins, there's the obvious sadness of leaving this little hometown. I've been here 25 years and always felt so comfortable, safe, and content.

I'm excited to shake it up a lot and really get in adult mode (barf).

I get to start my goodbyes this weekend (I'll be flying out to Denver to do some training in the next couple weeks) because it's actually my second to last weekend here at home.

Things I [dis]like:

Groupon.

Can someone please explain why it exists? You know why? Because at one point it provided me with things I would use. Now Groupon is a House Cleaning, Tire Rotating chamber of adult things and I am sick of it. I want a discount on a bounce house or sky diving, not a Groupon for half off the same Boot Camp class every month.

There was a light last week; Groupon. Hot Yoga. These two things combine. I pounced on it, read the fine print, etc. Well, apparently I didn't read it well enough and MY BAD. Well, I wanted to get something out of the Groupon, so I went to them and the owner was willing to work with me, the sassy man receptionist... not so much. He said AND I QUOTE, "I refuse to honor that Groupon." OK, BYE NOW.

I understand, I messed up, and I fessed up, but work with me. As a business you should be happy to work out a deal (and you have the authority to do so), so work with me; I know it's asking a LOT (sarcasm), but work with me. 

Anyways, I still think Groupon can be a bummer in most cases, but they did refund me the money I spent on that lame-ass Groupon without any lip. So props to you G-poons! I will not unsubscribe to you, but get some better deals... I can only love you for so long.

Oh, but I do need to share something I like....

I love you all. You are welcome. *Bows*

Thursday means Thursdays things I [dis]like

I eat fast food. I am the last person to claim that I enjoy being/eating healthy when it comes to food. I'll follow it up with I LOVE TACO BELL. You guys have no idea the cravings I get for the ole TB, specifically the Chicken Quesadilla. Last craving: Nashville 10/20/12, 9pm. My friend Ashley and I were at a hockey game at Bridgestone Arena. It happened and I almost cried when we didn't immediately exit the building and bee line to the nearest Taco Bell. I was in Nashville, surrounded by 24 hours/7 days a week worth of amazing food and all I needed, all I craved, all I wanted at all was Taco Bell. I got it. Label me happy.

Here's the deal with Taco Bell(and I ONLY feel this about TB in general): the employees are so excited to give you your food. Honestly, they cannot wait for me to put my debit card in my purse, they want me... no they need me to have MY DRINK AND MY SAUCE AND MY BAG OF NONSENSE AND MY MEAL all in one swoop. They must know what that food means to me if I am there. They know their customers only come to them when it's a dire emergency and nothing else will satisfy. Do not get me wrong, between the lady mouthing something about taking a survey and me trying to find a place to put the old Taco Bell cup, I am just as excited to get this food in my grasp, but I have really small hands, you guys, it really complicates things when I find myself choosing what to take first (when we all know I merely want them to place the food directly in my mouth, cut out all mediums to my chewy, little piece of heaven).

Thursdays things I [dis]like

I'm thinking about starting a weekly blog ~segment~ basically just an ode to things I use and hate, then sometimes like, then use, then stop using, then pick up again. You get the jist of this. It's basically an ode to my hypocrisy! I HAVE FEELINGS AND THEY CHANGE A LOT. OK.

Anyways, we will see if this sticks.

Let me begin by saying, yes I use Foursquare. No, it is not on my main page anymore.

SEE?! Excuse my mess of an iPhone life. Sorry, not sorry for my connected life.

FOURSQUARE. Did you know everytime I go to a certain bar I get a free draft if I check in?! Because that is exactly why I use Foursquare now. I don't mind being found by my friends or exes or whomever loves me enough to be on my FSQ, but I want it to automatically do this for me. I am so lazy and in reality no one really cares where I am. It's fun knowing where people are, but I only want to know when it's convenient to me (don't realllllly care if you're at the grocery store, tbqh). This is why my friends and I use the FindMyFriends app, which is basically a creepy GPS tracker for people you allow to track you. Luckily it's secure (so... I hope) and I can choose who stalks me, which is basically the people I'm always with.

All in all Foursquare is great for getting free things when I check in and well, nothing else anymore. That, by no means, means I will stop using it and competing for mayorship of my universities common area.
