LA Lovin'

I know, I know. I've gotten way behind in posting, but I have really good excuses. Really I do.

Well, right now I am in LA again for work. It's been freakishly cold in LA. And my hotel don't have no heat. It does, however, have a faux fireplace - which is on a timer. I kid you not. You can walk into the room and turn the 70's-ish timer on for say, 20 minutes. And then you hear it going "tick tick tick tick" until the time runs out. Same for the bathroom lights. Sigh. The ticking is getting to me.

My work week has been busy. I thought I'd have more time to myself to study and yoga-size, but no such luck. I am far too social. What can i say? I am an ENFJ!

So the reason I haven't been blogging that much is that I'm working on A NEW BLOG! Yes, I am about 60% done with launching a blog to support my new Holistic Health Counseling business. I need to do a bit more design for it, some writing, etc. I will probably be blogging there mostly, unless I feel the need to vent about my personal life here. Which I'm sure I will.

I am here for another week or so. Tomorrow I am going to San Diego to go sailing with my friend, Cliff. Next weekend I will be in NYC for school, and then back in the ATL for 3 weeks or so.

I am wanting to adopt a dog in February. Not sure if this will have to be postponed until April, as I will be traveling most of March.

ENFJ

Have any of you ever taken the Jung Typology Test (aka Myers-Briggs)?

I had to take it as part of my classwork and it turns out that I'm an ENFJ (Extravert Intuitive Feeler Judger). Apparently only 2-3% of the population fall into this category, which are also known as "Teacher Idealists".

I read the description and think that I am on the right track to what an ENFJ can be, as I move towards becoming a holistic health counselor. Sometimes I have glimpses of the person that I want to be and I get really overwhelmed - somehow I think I am on the right path.

Dream Vacation...

I was browsing around today and found my dream vacation. I have been lucky enough to have visited Hawaii twice, but I have never been to The Big Island. And there's just something about the idea of eating raw, doing yoga and being in the sun that sounds so divine. The whole thing just resonates with me. Plus it's being hosted by David Wolfe, who I just find completely irresistable. He lectured at my school last month and he was nothing short of phenomenal.

Unfortunately, all the moving expenses will deter me from going this year, but at least I know what I want to do next year!

Crushin'

I have a horrible ridiculous completely uncontrollable crush on my chiropractor. The kind of crush that forces my cheeks to flush a deep, embarassing red.

The chiropractor and I actually met online when I first moved to Atlanta. But he didn't ask me out after our first in-person "meet". I thought he was really attractive and funny and goofy, but since he didn't display any signs of interest, I left it alone.

A few days later I ran into him at the gym. It was slightly awkward. We both smiled, said hello and did the usual, "wow, Atlanta is a small town" exchange and went on our merry ways. After seeing each other a few more times, the exchanges moved from awkward to friendly and I realized that I had developed a huge crush on him.

At some point this summer, my neck and shoulder were killing me, so I decided to go see him for an adjustment. It was a good excuse to see him one on one and he was the only chiropractor I knew in town anyway. His adjustment was great, and we had a really fun conversation, but nothing more. And so, we've continued to see each other at the gym and for the occasional adjustment, but it's never progressed beyond that.

So today I went for another adjustment because I had seriously pulled something in my back during the move and it turns out I had 3 discs out of place. The doc was looking as cute as ever and asked me when my housewarming party would be. I guess I could take this as a sign of encouragement, but I think that would be stretching it. I guess I'm just not his type. Sigh.

The Eagle Has Landed

It took a while, but I'm finally moved in to my new place.

Today was the last leg. The ATL office of my company is closing down for good on Friday and I will be working from home starting in January. So I had to transport a few items of furniture, including some super-heavy filing cabinets to the home office. Luckily, the young strapping lads from the office (you know who you are) were gracious enough to help me with the move. I rented a pick-up truck from Home Depot (it even made the cool "I'm backing up" beeping noise when you put it in reverse) and drove the sucker to my place. After driving a U-Haul through Manhattan, this was a cinch.

All of the other furniture made it in on Friday after the long distance movers extorted an extra $600 from me. Mom and Dad were champions over the weekend and unpacked all of the kitchen stuff, while I did laundry and put together the bedroom and bathrooms.

I came home last night and said I was just going to relax, but somehow I wound up unpacking all my books, cleaning the kitchen, sweeping the floors and adjusting my hot water heater. :)

My goal is to have the place somewhat in order in 2 weeks so that I can have people over for New Years Eve! Yay!

Story of My Life

I don't think I've ever had a move go smoothly.

When I moved into my last apartment in NYC, I nearly had a nervous breakdown. Just to give you a flavor for what went down:

1. It took 8 hours to move in. I couldn't for the life of me understand why it took 8 hours to move half a block.
2. The couch I purchased wouldn't fit into the stairwell or elevator so it had to be sawed in half outside, and then re-assembled inside my apartment.
3. The mattresses ordered did not fit my bedframe.
4. It was in the middle of summer and both air conditioners inside the new apartment stopped working.

I vowed I would never move again, but here I am. The movers called yesterday at 5pm saying that they'd be at my new townhouse at 8am. Um, thanks for all the lead time guys!

Well, they showed up at 7:30 am today and they were pissed off. Basically, the truck they drove down is so enormous that they can't make a turn onto my narrow street. So they left. They went to rent a smaller truck so that they could unload my things and then drive the smaller truck over. All for a mere additional $550.

Sigh.

I need a very very strong drink right now. Or a hug. Or both.
