1 Year later...

Today is my one year anniversary from when I first moved to Miami. I can't believe it's been one year already. Although it's taken a while for me to adjust to a new place I can honestly say that it's finally starting to feel like home. I realized this the other night when I was returning from my road trip to NY/NJ and we drove past the Target in Aventura. I don't think I'd ever been so happy to see that shopping center. At this point I knew I was home and I was glad to be back!

That's one good thing about road trips, they give you the opportunity to see new places and appreciate what you have.

The disadvantages of losing weight

So as I've mentioned before I've taken up running since moving to South Florida. The main goal was to get in better shape and of course to lose a few pounds. Fortunately it's been working. I have no idea how many pounds I've dropped but I know I've lost weight because all my pants are too big for me now. I was a size 6 when I first moved here and am now a size 4. As great as that is that means that I now have nothing to wear. Yesterday I decided I'd attempt to go jean shopping at Loehmanns. They usually have cool designer jeans for pretty cheap so I was sure Id find something but I was wrong. I looked through all the jeans they had and there was not one pair in my size. Apparently everyone else is also a size 4. I guess I'll have to keep rotating the 3 pairs of jeans that do fit me. Maybe I'll find some cool jeans in NYC. Century 21, here I come!

"Is Is" is Awesome!

Yesterday I bought the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP, "Is Is" and it's awesome! The sound is a lot more like their "Fever to Tell" album which I didn't expect but I love it! My personal favorite is the opening track, "Rockers to Swallow." I think I'll be blasting that one in my car for a while. Interpol needed a break anyway. ;)
