About

I'm Anna. 23, living in Raleigh. I love anything involving my family, my boyfriend, and my dog. I love great books, great music, and bare feet. I have a love/hate relationship with chocolate, money, and my bathroom scale. I look forward to traveling the world. I am ravenous for knowledge, information, and words. I was a dedicated English major in college, so reading is my sustenance, and writing is a fickle and sometimes complicated outlet for me, but here on this little blog, I try to wrap my thoughts into something tangible.

My love for Bethenny is stupid.

Wow. Being that I’m in my mid-twenties with no babies and my body doesn’t look like that now, I think it’s safe to say this is not my future post-baby body.

C25K App…

Has anyone tried this app?  What are your thoughts?

I, for one, am loving it.  It’s a nine week, start-from-nothing training program that trains you to run a 5K, and then bridge to a 10K.  It’s, for lack of a better word, awesome.  It’s exactly what I needed: a regimented training plan of running and walking intervals.  It even has audio cues that tell you to “run” or “walk”.  It starts out with 60-second running/walking intervals, then week-by-week, graduates to 90-second, 3 minute, 6 minute, 8 minute intervals.  The latter weeks are 20, 25, 30, 35 and finally 45 minute runs.

I’ve read awesome things about it.  It’s a laid-back, minimal pressure program that requires a minimum of three days a week.  I do an extra day each week, repeating one of the week’s workouts.  It feels awesome, and I should be a little of three-fourths of the way to running a 5K by the time I go to Pars.

Perhaps a 10K by the end of the summer? Dream big, I guess.

Has anyone tried this?

And the Great Tote Debate continues…

The hunt for a perfect cross-body bag is still in full swing.  Problem is, I’ve found The One.  It’s a gorgeous Marc by Marc Jacobs…but after shipping I’d be shelling out around $500…but….look at it:

That’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.  A little steep, considering this expensive trip I’m taking.  So, I dug this up from Aldo’s website…and I have to say, I don’t hate it, and for around $80, it makes it even more desirable…but still, it’s not exactly what I was hoping for:

Again, the only requirement is it can fit my dSLR and other necessities.  Therefore, I implore you: which do you like best? Where else could I look?

I don’t really follow the Cult of GaGa.

 I concur!  I feel like a second-class citizen for not “getting” (or liking) the “genius” that is Lady Gaga.

Suddenly Having MAJOR anxiety about my first international/overseas flight

Things I Google to make myself feel better, but oddly don’t work: “chances of dying in a plane crash” and “safest airlines”

For some odd reason, Google is not working on my work computer, thus condemning me to Yahoo

And I can tell you this much for sure:

Yahoo maps < actual maps < Google maps.

Yeah, it’s that bad.
