i was minding my own business, driving to work, listening to “stuff you should know”, and then BAM! i get rear ended. my pristine new car, is pristine no longer. outwardly, there’s only two rivet marks on my bumper form the other guy’s license plate holder, i guess. however, since it is a brand new car, i called my insurance, and now they are handling it. i guess we’ll see how this goes down. i have an appointment to go to an adjuster on monday.

ugh. at least today is pizza day in the cafe. i’m feeling mushroom and olive and jalapeno.

i haven’t written a post in a very long time! right now i’m waiting at the car dealership to get my 3750mi service done. i’m really hungry, and there is only fake milk here (the little mini-moos that can be unrefrigerated.) blech. i guess i will have to wait till i get to work.

i am pretty psyched to go home for thanksgiving, because i’ll get to see two of my bestest friends ever, B & C. and the pie. there will be lots of pie. i debated buying some cranberry sauce at the grocery store this week because i’m craving it… but i’m going to wait. it’ll be better when i have it on thanksgiving.

anyhoo…i don’t really have much to say, dear bloggo’s… things are good. i’m planning an overhaul (design, etc.) on this blog. maybe it’ll get done over the holiday. i have a ton of great photos from vegas that need to be edited too!

does that mean i should change it? it’s cute, though. gray, from anthropologie. it’s got a knot in the boob area. i like it. hmm.

my mom’s surprise dinner at WD-50 was fantastic. check out picks and mini review here, on flickr. auntie p was even able to meet us for a drink before dinner.
i’ve been a little down lately. not sleeping well, having bad dreams… i’m hoping this will change.
on the upshot, i’ve got my new running shoes for my 5k. i’m going to give them a run for their money tonight at the gym.

this weekend looks to be fun. not too much going on, but paintball on sunday. tuesday i’m going to hearthrob with athena to see laidback luke. should be exiting and fun. though i’m expecting it to be a little sad, because the UB and i went there a lot. ugh.

i’m addressing this to my friend revjim, because he reads my blog! and i left him out of the list of people i know that read. so i’ll make this a two way conversation.

hampton: hi revjim. today, i’m practicing self control.
revjim: what’s that you say?
hampton: i’m practicing self control. so i don’t do things that i don’t want to do. like eat that donut. it’s more than eating the donut, but i don’t feel like sharing it with the internets.
revjim: will you tell me if i email you?
hampton: yes.  on another note, i did some insane ass crunches at the gym today.
revjim: what’s the gym? oh wait, is that the place that i should be going, because i’ve been telling my blog readers that i’m trying to lose the beer gut, but because i’m wicked (revjim wouldn’t really say wicked) busy with work and my awesome kid that i haven’t been?
hampton:oui. the very place. i used a 12lb medicine ball and did oblique crunches, while bicycling my legs out in front of me. ouch. 3 sets of 12 had me calling for my mommy.
revjim: speaking of your mom, that’s what she said last night.
hampton: don’t talk about my mom like that!
revjim: fine, fine fine.
hampton: i’m also going to attempt to run a 5k in october. my friend xtina from work and an old co-worker RS are going to do it too.
revjim: oh yeah, really?
hampton: you bet your bippy. for serious. here’s the link. i also bought some new running shoes for motivation. my old gym shoes are not cutting it. today i think i did well through my run at week 3 of couch25k.
revjim: well, that just makes me feel like i’m not doing anything!
hampton: sorry….
revjim: well, gotta get back to work.
hampton: me too. you know, gotta keep up apperances.

my past week and a half have been very bloody. first, i stab myself with the clam hack in the toe (through neoprene swim shoes) after kevin tells me specifically to be careful and don’t “stab yourself in the leg.” then i end up with blisters on both hands from the hack handle being too long and the sand and water rubbing against my palms. however, dinner was delicious. though, i did have a couple of tequila shots, beforehand, because i had to do “surgery” on my hands to make sure i cleaned all of the mud out of my blisters. ow.

i’ve also had some very awful awful dreams as of late. the night ted kennedy died (obv, i was sleeping at 1:30am when he died, but) i had a dream that all my teeth were falling out, and i was just spewing chunks of teeth out of my mouth every time i opened it. i usually have these dreams before someone i know dies. it’s really strange. then saturday night i had a dream that i was pregnant and was having an abortion. this one wasn’t really bloody, just disturbing. sunday night i had a dream that two of my back molars fell out, and was pretty much a repeat of last week. i wonder what my brain is trying to process?

yesterday, after work i went for a pedicure at a new-to-me nail place by work. they did a great job, except for the chunk of skin they took out of my toe. chunk is maybe not the right word, but i did bleed.
yesterday was also my “triumphant” return to the gym after my back being iffy last week. it was awesome. elliptical = 0, d = 1. i can’t go today, because of a team meeting at lunch, but will go tomorrow with my gym buddy, xtina. i have also run out of calcium bears. i have to go to trader joes to get more.

i am looking forward to this weekend. it’s campfire and there are a lot of great musicians to go and see. apparently there are some surprise special guests as well. i’m not working it at all this year. i’m purely a spectator. it’ll be great to just sit and watch. the roommate and i are also going to see inglorious basterds. i will also most likely end up playing with charlie. also, i will prob. have a date with a new guy. let’s call him Mr. OKC. we shall see.

i saw (500) days of summer over the weekend.

i am joseph gordon-levitt’s character. totally. it’s insane. but i’ve also been zooey deschenel’s character too… but not really.
