"Did that man really just do that?"
"Andrea, did she just hit her head?"
"Holy piss, I can't watch."
"What is mustache Joe going to do?"
Four phrases that came out of my mouth very frequently last night. It was a circus night in Pittsburgh for 5 of us PULSErs. We were lucky enough to get a deal on tickets and then use our Cultural funds to attend the Cirque Du Soleil. What's more cultural you ask?? Well... I say nothing. I was on the edge of my seat for the incredible performances. I do remember that I said I was going to quit my job and join the circus... just what my mother wants to hear! :) Just kidding mom. I wouldn't fit in anyways because lets be honest, I can barely touch my toes, non the less wrap my body like a crazy pretzel. Overall I say it was incredible, and I encourage all of you to try and see a performance at some point.
Cirque Du Soleil thank you for an amazing Thursday night!

Gleek
Yes. The title explains it all. I am a Gleek. I've loved Glee since the beginning. I'm not sure if it is because it reminds me of my show choir days only not as much drama. We had a kid that couldn't dance... *cough* Nathan *cough* But something that isn't the same... I don't think we ever sounded like Broadway stars... :)
But there is always something about that sort of music that I fall incredibly in love with every time.
Please don't judge me.

It's never too late to be....
Day two has started out much better than the last starting over for blogging, so here's hoping that this is going to become a daily priority.
Last night before I feel asleep I wanted to catch up on my Hulu. This wonderful incredible website is something that has allowed me to have a life but also to still watch my TV shows when I want too. Oh the power of technology. Anyway-- I was catching up on the shows I've missed so dearly. The one in particular... Brothers and Sisters. It never fails that when I sit down to watch an episode I end up blubbering like a baby. Seriously. So last night while sitting in bed I stopped to dry my eyes when the end of the episode popped up and started the waterworks again. Well piss. So... I'm including the clip. If you haven't watched the season finale yet, then DON'T click on the clip-- if you don't watch Brothers and Sisters, shame on you, but feel free to blubber like a baby... no judgment from me. So here's to family and the love and frustration they always bring.

Starting over...
Well-- I've said the past few weeks that I've wanted to start blogging again. Not to show up my new blogging friends, because we all know that I can't compete with a wedding blog, custom made blog, or my dear friend hannah's blog about her first year married and grad student blog, but I just want to blog. I want to tell people about my life, I want people to know some fun things happening in my life or just some fun things that I love to read about....
So I'm starting off with this incredible website.... The Pioneer Woman. There is something about her that puts me at ease when I read her blog. Something about the fact that I can sit and scan through her recipes and not feel like I would be overwhelmed trying to make something... (well not too overwhelmed) So I encourage you to visit her website and love on it like I do.
I'm also going to take advantage of her "Ten Important Things About Blogging"

So-
I feel as though when things begin to get "popular" I want to cut out. Such happened with blogging recently. 4 people in my life have started different blogs. Maybe it's the new hip thing to do, but I think back to my lame posts freshman year of college. I have different things to update about but I don't seem to want to put as much time into it. Sad... i know, since there seem to be a few more of you out there still reading. This past week i've been struggling with finding myself in Pittsburgh. I love the people, I love the friends and the Friday nights, but there has been an inner struggle thinking about what's next. My best friend and babies are moving home, so my heart immediately wants to pack back up and experience their life.... but that isn't going to fix mine. When they start going to school in a few years, I will be just as restless... and to be honest-- there doesn't seem to be much left for me in Clyde just yet. So for right now... Pittsburgh it is. The city of three rivers, steelers fans, and the most beautiful skyline ever.
Here's to you Pittsburgh. I hope you figure out my life for me soon, because I really do love you.
Also- here are recent blogs of my dear friends...

Oops
Well--
Apparently I wanted to take a little break from Blogging. I apologize to my 3 readers out there. (Maybe you've even given up on me.) I feel really sorry about that. I guess this can now just be that place where I bounce my random ideas around.
The Burgh is still treating me well. I appreciate my life daily. Especially today-- you see, it's raining like cats and dogs today and I have a home that has a roof with heat and electricity and 7 women to sit down to dinner with. Wow. How cool.
This past week there have been a lot of "firsts" for me in the PULSE house. I woke up at 7:30am on Tuesday..(i think i just heard my mother gasp) and I went running twice this week..(yes Hannah, actual running, with tennis shoes and my ipod and everything)and I threw on a potter's wheel (that totally came from left field--)
I'm not sure what caused this sudden, morning person who wants to jog/walk in the morning but it's me. I might blame the multi-vitamins that i'm taking in the morning now, but who knows... maybe it's time for me to begin to wake up with the rest of the world.
Things are truly going well. It's about time to begin to look into jobs, apartments, life after PULSE. It's been a scary realization but also one of the best.
So... I'm slowly but surely taking another step, but hopefully it will be another good decision. If not, Mom and Dad will always take me back!
Blessings to you
All my love-
Anna
