Well Alex and I completed our five day juice challenge and we felt like leaner, cleaner, fighting machines until we decided to binge on pizza, pasta ... and more pizza. We do feel as though it has made an impact on our bodies and we feel as though we are at a great place to ring in a new year with healthier versions of ourselves.

I'm pretty much writing this entry because I just got back from the gym and want an excuse to continue sitting here eating my flat bread chips. (They are so delicious, you need to go get yourselves some if you haven't had any yet. Be sure to get the rosemary and olive oil kind ... you can thank me later.)

I'm currently contemplating finding a new full time job and so that's been taking up a lot of space on my mind lately. It's hard to find a good balance between the things I need to do, want to do, and should do and I can't figure out which category the new job would fit in to. I love subbing at the school but it's so unsteady and if I don't work for a couple of days I start to feel kind of like a bum; I think I'm just one of those people who needs a little anxiety in their lives in order to function properly.

On another note, Alex's brother Ian came to visit us this weekend and we had a lot of fun. We spent the first night in Dallas and then checked out a few antique stores on the way back (I'll give you 1 guess whose idea that was ... here's a hint: it was neither Ian nor me). The next day we showed Ian the base, took him to the Boardwalk, got some drive-thru eggnog daquiris, and of course took him to Bass Pro Shops. He was almost as amazed as we were the first time we went there. Here are some pictures from Ian's trip(that I stole):

Some pictures from the antique stores ...  

 Creepy old lady at the antique store ... there was an unnatural amount of mannequins at this antique store, and they were all posed differently and there was always at least one peering at you no matter which way you turned. We like to think that they come alive when the sun goes down and brutally attack and murder whoever is left there ... 

 Interesting and informative poster at Bass Pro

I really should get started on making dinner so I guess I'll get up now ... wish me luck.......
