Harder to Breathe.

Saw Maroon 5 in concert tonight. I just about died seeing Adam Levine in person and literally meters away.

Unfortunately I couldn't even enjoy that high, thanks a friggin lot.

Calm Me Down, Calm Me Down.

Setting the counter back to 0.

I was doing so well for myself, but "all good things must come to an end," and "what goes up, must come down", and what not after all! Unfortunately, what comes down crashes and burns in a horrible way.

5-5-1-1. 5-5-1-1. 5-5-1-1.

Love Can Never Last When You're Flying Up This High.

There's trouble in my lonely old balloon
I let you jump, but maybe you jumped too soon
It's too late for me to turn back now
So, goodbye baby
I'm not ready to follow you down

And yeah, you're gone like the wind and it don't even matter
I fly above it all and watch the world shatter
We had a skydive love affair
Doomed from the very start
So you can throw my love to the wind
I'll just float back to the ground
With my parachute heart

Mama Said Knock You Out.

I don't understand all the tweets and status updates on my various social media feeds complaining about the snow, asking why Mother Nature is torturing us or if Mother Nature has a problem with us.  We live in Calgary and it's March, we're bound to get snow and lots of it.  At least it's not cold.

And honestly? We've been pretty damn lucky so far this winter; huge snowfall is part of living in this city.  Don't like it? Then why'd you bother moving here in the first place?

You're Such a Hard Act for Me to Follow.

 A case of the Mondays hit me pretty hard on, you guessed it, Monday.  My morning went reasonably well, as did my lunch meeting with some of my co-workers, my "supervisor", and our HR administrator, but then it all went a bit downhill with me locking my keys in my car just as the worst of the cold and snowy weather hit.  I don't even know how I was able to function that afternoon, my mind was in a total fog.

Humor filled my Tuesday - please refer to my prior entry about it, as I'm too lazy to describe it again.

Wednesday was overall a bit of a drag ... I was exhausted in the morning, feeling pretty decent by noon, felt really good about myself and successful, and then I had one of my appointments and it just wrecked my mood.

Success found me on Thursday at dance class: after about two months of learning the Highland Fling for tap, I finally got through the entire combo without messing up and without my knees starting to hurt.  Of course, my thighs and calves burned and I was exhausted at the end of the hour, but it was so worth it.  No pain, no gain after all! Thursday also found me buying 10 boxes of pizza pops from Sobeys and being laughed at by the cashier and the bagger-dude.  And before you ask, no, the pizza pops were not for me ... alright, 4 of them were.  They were half off and my uncle loves them, so we figured we'd stock up for him.  Anyway, it was right after dance class, my hair was in the messiest bun ever, I was in my work-out clothes, and looked like a hot mess.  Add that to buying 10 boxes of pizza pops and two bottles of this juice/smoothie thing that I've recently found myself addicted to, and it looked like I was some stressed out university freshman.  (Except that during my first year of university I was loath to even let myself out of the house without make-up and a pair of jeans on.  Starving university bum chic? Not for me)

Anyway, I digress ...

Today was busy, running around town and doing errands, having dinner out with my mom, brother, aunt, and uncle because my aunt and uncle wanted to treat my mom for her birthday which is tomorrow.  Despite my exhaustion, I ended up playing Just Dance 3 and 4 with my brother for an hour, then solo for another hour.  Needless to say, I'm more than exhausted now, and it's not even 9:30.

I'm probably going to head to bed soon ... aw yes, I know, I'm a badass: going to bed early on a Friday night.

(That's actually kind of depressing ... I'm going to try and not dwell on the fact)

Til next!
