Blog the First

Vii, I have been checking obsessively all day to see if you’d posted yet so that the first ever blog post would be out of the way and the tone would be set. I was hoping for your eloquent words, captivating descriptions, and knack for making ordinary things like ill-fitting jeans and penchants for eating entire cans of frosting sound a little more unique and a little less mundanely pathetic.

Sadly, It seems that I am going to be making the inaugural post after all because my “hack”intosh has had a very adverse reaction to me attempting to “auto-update” the security settings… it turns out neither Apple nor Microsoft react well to illegal copies of their operating systems going online to try to update some setting or another. Due to this very unfortunate turn of events, I am reinstalling Windows and therefore have no access to the as of yet incomplete midterm project that is due Monday, but I’ve got a laptop and an Amanda Bynes marathon on the family channel.

In such a situation, what is a girl to do but blog about her newly revamped lifestyle of healthy eating, healthy habits, consistent exercising, and minimal nail biting? Alright, I’ve already failed at the healthy habits (went to bed at 4am because some other blogger/ best friend who will not be named had me video chatting with her puppy until all hours) and at the nail biting (which is really cuticle biting and is completely unconscious, yet completely revolting).

I guess that’s really what this blog is all about, for me at least (Vii’s cuticles are generally well maintained). As she so succinctly put it, “We don’t want to be one of those 50 year old women who finally loses those 15 pounds, runs a marathon or completes some other fitness feat, and regrets forever that they hadn’t felt this good in their 20’s.”

So, we’re doing it in our 20’s, “it” being forcing ourselves out of our bizarre and sometimes destructive habits and becoming real well-adjusted adults… that will look really effortlessly good in engagement photos, bathing suits, and any of life’s other unforgiving clothing situations.

In the spirit of accountability, I made it not only to yoga today but also out for a verrry slow two-mile run. I think this block of text has gotten long enough (I promise to learn how to upload photos to the blog tonight!), so until my desktop breaks again (or inspiration strikes!), I’ll leave you with these ramblings. I know Vii will chime in to provide some focus and voice to this blog (not to mention photos and advanced formatting) and until then, I guess I have a midterm to work on!
