I got my first ever professional massage last night. It. Was. Awesome!! The only issue was the chick was chatty the whole time. We all know I'm a very chatty girl, but darn it I just wanted to relax. I couldn't just stop responding though. She was really nice, and easy to talk to, but I really just wanted to zone out, and relax.
After my massage she mentioned that I may feel loopy or drunk. WOW. She was right. At first I almost didn't put my shirt back on. Then when I got home I found it was inside out. Then I couldn't stop giggling. It was strange. My mind didn't feel foggy, but I clearly was. Very odd feeling. Plus she said I'd go to bed really early. She was right. I was out by 9:30-9:45. It was glorious!
The massage was great overall. I feel fabulous, sleepy but fabulous today. Thanks to the boyfriend for a super gift!! He is so awesome. I'm very excited for our first Christmas together. He already has like 15 presents wrapped and under the tree for me. I'm so spoiled by him.
Okay that's all friends. If you haven't ever had a professional massage go get one. Thank me later!

Adventures In: Working On My Fitness. Kinda
Well pals, I'm getting a jump start on my New Years Resolution. I joined a gym yesterday. The only bummer is that said gym isn't scheduled to open until December 30. I couldn't pass up the deal. It was one dollar to join, 19.99 per month including free training, unlimited guest access, unlimited use of these awesome red light therapy booths/massage chairs/massage beds, and other awesome perks. I'm very excited. The boyfriends mom joined also. We tried to convince him to join, but he wouldn't. Bummer.
I'm excited to get into a routine of working out again. I miss Zumba. I miss going to the gym I always went to back a few years ago with my bestie.
It's really hard for me to change my eating habits. I don't know why, but it is. Adding exercise is much easier. I have done way better about eating breakfast. When I've tried it before I've always felt like I'm more hungry during the day. Now I feel fuller, and better throughout the day. Yay.
I'm excited to do this gym thing. I hope I stay this motivated. I wish it was open now. I'm pumped! I need to create my Gym Jams Play List!!!! Feel free to comment with your favorite tunes for the gym.

Adventures In: Being Crafty!
So I've blogged about a bit about trying new recipes. Some have been awesome, some just okay. No major flops. We've been able to at least eat all of them, but lately I've been focusing on craft projects!
Pinterest is to blame.
I've created tons of cute Christmas ornaments, wrapped Christmas gifts cuter than I ever have before, and have tons of ideas up my sleeve! I'll share some pictures in a different post. I'm writing this from my work computer, and don't have any pictures saved. Yes I already have some Christmas gifts purchased AND wrapped! Now I just need to convince the boyfriend to let me put the try up so I can have my adorably wrapped gifts on display! Also I must say it pays to watch for sales at Hobby Lobby, and to use their coupons. Crafting can get expensive, but I've been lucky so far, and haven't had to shell out TOO much money!
Crafting is such a good stress relief for me. Nice to just focus all of my energy into making something pretty. As I typed that though, I realized I don't really have much stress lately. It's been pretty fabulous. The boyfriend and I are doing great, work is going well, and things overall are pretty good. I'm so thankful for that. And when I do have my moments where I'm annoyed or frustrated the boyfriend is usually awesome about calming me down, and making me laugh.
The boyfriend and I are still loving exploring new things in Lafayette. That's been lots of fun. There are lots of cool stores downtown. Today on my lunch break I visited McCord's Candies. I've heard lots of talk about their homemade candy canes. They very much lived up to the hype! I'm not even a huge candy cane fan, these were so worth it though.http://www.mccordcandies.com/sshop/
I've been neglectful of my blog lately, but really I've felt just kind of boring. I want to write about my fun stories/crazy adventures, but as I'm getting older I'm having less and less of those. Maybe I'll have to write about my past crazy life. This new life I'm leading is actually more enjoyable though. Sure I miss my adventures like the time I stalked Taylor Swift for 4 days with my friend Emily, or the time I had a client almost taze me when I was doing social work, or the awful awful dating experiences that made for great stories, but really I wouldn't trade the life I'm living now for that life. I'm happy, safe, and loved. I couldn't ask for more. Sometimes getting older sucks, but sometimes it's amazing. This older version of me feels pretty amazing. I love living with a man I'm 100% crazy in love with, and wrapping Christmas presents in November, and improving my cooking skills. Maybe my blog needs a new name, or maybe just maybe I need to redefine what "adventure" real means to me. This whole living with a boy, being domestic, and sort of calmed down is a change for me. Adventure is all about trying something new. So while cooking, and exploring a new town might not make for good blog entries, they sure do make for a happy TaraPants!
That's all for now pals!
