4.

because I have nothing better to post about, here's a list of facts in fours.

four nicknames:
Cass - I don't know if this actually counts, but considering the fact that my name is Cassandra, I'm counting it. A lot of my close family/friends call me Cass.
Cassaroo//Cassaroll - this was popular while growing up, it has faded since.
Half Pint - my dad will refer to me as this occasionally because I'm so short. thanks dad.
Short Stop, Shorty, Forearms - all random names given to me by my managers and coworkers.

four things in my bag:
gum.
chapstick. Burt's Bees specifically.

there's so many I could name here (hello, I'm a sucker for movies on tv) so I'll go with my favorites.
The Sandlot.
The Proposal.
Christmas Vacation, Elf, Home Alone.
anything Disney/Pixar.

four favorite drinks:
chocolate milk. (yum!)
water. (boring, but I try to stay away from pop.)
vodka and a mixer. (can literally be anything.)

four random things I'm thinking about:
going shopping.
Chicago.
Cinco de Drinko Mayo.
work.

four top places I've traveled:

I've missed my friends

guess who's back, back again? Shady's Cassie's back, tell a friend!

hey hey!

I've missed my friends, therefore, I am back. reading, writing, the whole shebang. it won't be daily, but maybe weekly. At the minimum I'll be back to fill y'all in on any big news or adventures.

I'm not going to recap the past few months, I'm just too lazy to do all of that, plus it wasn't that interesting. I will, however, begin sharing my stories again from here on out. I hope y'all will join me on my crazy adventures!

hi.

it's been a while since I've shared my life story on here.

so long, in fact, that I don't even know where to begin right now.

I guess I'll start with... I turned 25. what?! my birthday was the day after Thanksgiving. to celebrate a few friends and I went to a local Irish sports bar for dinner and some drinks. after that, "e-baby" and I went over my uncles house for a small party.

1. with Carrie and Olivia ;; 2. with Randy and Carrie

and now I'll recap one of my favorite weekends of the year. the time I went to Buffalo, NY. I trekked out to Buffalo with my friend Carrie, my cousin Curtis, his girlfriend, and two of his buddies. Carrie and I jammed out to some country music, and 90s throwbacks, with a few new hits thrown in (like TSwift's Shake It Off). once we finally made it to our hotel, we all pre-gammed while watching Ohio State beat Michigan! then we decided to go burn the town down. we started off at Duff's Sports Bar. we heard they are famous for their wings, which we all ordered, and were delicious. after a few beers and a couple games of air hockey, we trekked over to another bar/bowling alley. we drank more and played some pool. before making our way to a small dive bar and then heading to the last bar of the night, where we played some kinda disc bowling game and listened to some good tunes.
the next day we got rowdy at Ralph Wilson Stadium. my Brownies lost, but other than that, it was a fantastic time. the Bills fans were nice, overall. we got some boo's but I wouldn't expect anything less. we just barked back at em. and we got along well with the Bills fans that sat by us. we chatted and talked smack. it was awesome. we already decided that we're going back to Buffalo.


let's see, what else is there...

Halloween. the annual Lane Halloween party was awesome, as always. this year I went as Katniss Everdeen. "I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!"


E-baby. I mentioned him above. but I met this guy. he's pretty cool I guess. so we'll let him stick around for now.

movies. I've watched many, many movies. but I'll only list a few here...

Lets Be Cops: hilarious. seriously, hilarious. watch it.
22 Jump Street: not as funny as I thought it'd be, but still pretty good.
The Purge Anarchy: I liked it a lot more than the first Purge movie. if you watched the first, watch this one too.
I'll Be Home For Christmas: I don't know why I've never seen this movie, but I'm glad I changed that. even after all these years have passed I still thought it was a good movie, it kept me laughing.
Now You See Me: I actually liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would. I'd recommend it.
Blended: sorry, Adam Sandler, but this wasn't very good.
Oculus: I liked this horror movie. I would have thought it was amazing if the ending was slightly different. I understand why they ended it the way they did, but I also would've liked to see it end differently.

fantasy football. I was in a league with my two cousins, aunt, uncle, and some friends. it was a great league. I came in 4th place, out of 8 (being one of two girls, I'd say that's pretty good). we talked smack, had some hard losses, and some fantastic under-dog wins. I can't wait til next year!

healthy lifestyle. I've stayed with it for the most part. my workouts were slim between summer and now, just because of my ankle, which still isn't 100%. I finally was able to run a little bit last week, but it's still a slow process. eating wise, I've been doing alright. it was difficult with all that Halloween candy floating about.

I think that's all I have for now. I'll try to get another post up after Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

fitness goal

two of my favorite bloggers (steph&steph) came up with this brilliant goal oriented link-up. I'm excited to participate, I mean, I actually made time to type up a post (something I haven't done much of lately).


anyways, this month's challenge is all about fitness, which is right up my alley. the past two weeks I've been trying to get back on track with my healthy life style. I did extremely well when I began this journey back in December. I was down 13lbs! I've managed to keep off most of the weight, hovering around the 10lb mark. but I have not been eating all that healthy lately, and I want to get back into a workout routine.

so, with that said, my goal for September's fitness challenge is to workout five days a week. with my ankle still recovering (I'm technically not supposed to do high level activity until November) I won't be doing as much cardio as I normally would. however, five days a week I will do any combination of the following: sit-ups, push-ups, plank, shoulder lifts, squats, and calf raises, and at least once a week I will walk around 2 miles. I'm hoping my ankle will do okay with that.

good luck to everyone participating!
