Free!

So, I am fully aware that it is only $2, but Amazon is offering a $2 credit if you use the code "VDAYMP3S". How can you resist something so simple?!? To redeem, click on "Redeem a gift card or promotion code & view balance" on any album/song page. The offer expires Feb. 15 at 3 am, so you better hurry.

Thank you Amazon for recognizing the importance of Valentines Day.

Vivez la langue

This video makes me really want to go to re-learn French and travel to Europe. I wish it were practical (or possible) to take 5 weeks off from work and travel around Europe and just live.

EF - Live The Language - Paris from Albin Holmqvist on Vimeo.


As a side note, There comes point in my day, when I know I am not going to get any more work done in the day. I have reached that point. Actually, I think I reached it 8 hours ago.

Ten Things I am obsessed with right at this very moment

1. Brownie covered Oreos. I dare you to try these and not love them. Preparation Tip: Instead of dipping the Oreos, I spooned batter into the bottom of the muffin tin, placed an Oreo in the tin and spooned more batter on top. Much less messy.
2. Valentines Day. This holiday may be one of my favorites. I LOVE love Valentines Day. Who cares if I am not in love. Do I really need a Valentine to love Valentines Day? No. End of story.
3. Being anti-social and being okay with it. My anti-social tendencies are probably why I spend so much time in the gym these days (ok, not really that much time). 2 years ago, I would have died if I didn't go anywhere on a Friday night! Social suicide! Now, I am just fine with pulling my full mattress into the family room building a tent out of sheets watching movies and talking with a couple close friends until 5 in the morning.
4. This song:


5. Jimmer Fredette. So manly and wonderful that Nelly tweeted about him, "If u like college basketball like me u have to check out this dude name jimmer fredette from BYU he is definitely the truth!!" He is the truth indeed.
6. My ancient humongous goldfish. These fish get just as excited when I come home from work as a dog would. At nine months, they are fairly advanced in age, but they still have most of their minds. In their spare time, they especially love swimming in a school, and I love watching them.
7. Exercising. Last month, dumb work health coach Ron told me my weight fluxuates more than it should. Probably because I eat too much. Well, Ron, did you hear that I ran 7 miles the other week? It about killed me, but I did it! Weight fluxuation? My butt. Take that Ron.
8. Sonya Dakar Facials. I have been getting a facial and chemical peel once a week for the past month and I have never been happier (did I mention they give me a massage too?). I bought a package of 8 and will go for 4 weeks left. After I am done with the chemical peels, I plan on going once a month for a regular "Fitness facial". My skin already feels and looks a million times healthier and the whole spa experience is really a pick-me-up in the middle of the week.
9. The simple fact that Caitlin is getting home from her mission in 15 short days (a day that just so happens to be my birthday!)
10. Clean linens. Sometimes the small things in life that really make me happy.
