whoa, life. please don't forget I love you, even though I don't say it all the time.

well, it's been about a week since i last blogged. and it feels like it! oh how Ive missed you, my quirky little therapeutic friend!
first and foremost...during the last third of a mile of the 18 miles that i biked today, and after i did ZUMBA for an hour, as well as 45 minutes of circuit training...i rode past a McDonald's.  All i could think at that moment was "KEEP GETTING FAT AMERICA". that's it. I wasn't worried about the oncoming traffic, the fact that my bike light burnt out, or that I was simply biking after dark in ghetto-ass mesa AZ....nope. all i could think about is how WE as a PEOPLE, are killing ourselves with obesity. there's a fracking McDonald's every 3/4 mile in mesa. I live within a one mile radius of at least 20 restaurants. are there any health food stores? no. shit. there's not even a freaking regular grocery store! mental.
anyway...speaking of my "high horse"...i got told that 'it must be nice up on it [my high horse]' this past weekend by some stupid-ass stranger. the truth is...I've worked hard to even fracking have the opportunity to barter with the universe to get a horse...i got lucky that it's high. point is...i do my research. i work hard. i never enter into a debate, conversation, chat, whatever...without facts and details. i don't. it's suicide otherwise. 
ok, done. i sound like an ass. haha.

what else....?
oh...i have been UNCONDITIONALLY accepted to the University of Leeds! Background check and Teachers council of England check has come through just fine. =)  I just need to wait for my Certificate for Acceptance of Studies (CAS) and my loan paperwork to come to me, then it's visa application time, bitches!!!
When my visa is accepted and I book my ticket to Leeds, we are having a freaking party, peeps! Omaha friends, let's fill Jake's one last time!  AZ friends...POOL PARTY! =)

workout status: well, I'm riding my bike to work everyday.  That's anywhere between 11-13 miles a day.  it's really not that much of a workout.  i swear. when the weather gets to be 110 degrees, then i will change my mind.  but for now, it's no big deal.  and otherwise....pita jungle keeps me busy, so I get 3-4 days a week to workout. if it were my choice, I would workout every day...wait....i can choose to workout every day...i just don't want to get out of bed before 7:30am or go to bed after 11:30pm!
but, yesterday, in the fabulously cool, rainy weather, the beautiful Lindsay Ruder and I ran about 4-5 miles and I rode my bike about 10 miles, oh and I taught dance - we did barre work.  Tonite I did the aforementioned workout (see paragraph two). and now I'm sitting on two bags of frozen veggies, cos my bum hurts! I did some crazy ballet barre work tonite, mixed in with the circuit training, as well as the splits on the wall.  my ass quickly realized that it hadn't been forced to do that in well over 330 days. but, I'll pull through. no pain, no gain! or as Demi Higgins from her 5th grade pointe class would say, "pain is weakness leaving the body".  thanks for that gem demi. =)

my fruit and yogurt dessert is hollering at me. i gotta go!

peace.
