I have been horribly negligent in updating both this blog and my "Disney blog", but really I haven't had that much to write about. Well maybe I have, but I've been too lazy to actually take the time to put my thoughts into writing. Yeah, that's probably closer to the truth.
I'm usually in bed by now, but for some reason I'm still sitting out in the living room whilst my roommates "hit the hay" for tomorrow's Monday blahs. Tomorrow is actually my Wednesday, so it's hump day for me! I actually quite like my schedule; working weekends somehow makes my five day work stretch pass quickly. Go figure.
I've discovered that Deb, one of my coworkers, and I share a love for fantasy novels. She also happens to be an ex-zookeper (she took care of the giraffes), so she has lots of fun animal stories. She is no longer a keeper due to an injury - zookeeping is an extremely physical career and very tough on the body. It's something I've never considered, but good to know as I think about where my future is taking me.
Speaking of the future, I met Dr. Donna the other day at DAK's (Disney's Animal Kingdom) Animal Programs Cast Party. The event was held at Fantasia Gardens (miniature golf), and I must say that Disney certainly knows how to throw a party! A fabulous buffet, open bar, DJ and dance floor, raffle prizes, and unlimited Mickey-heads-on-a-stick (ice cream my friends, so don't freak out. They [Mickey-heads-on-a-stick] are my current obsession). Dr. Donna is DAK's equine vet, AND a graduate (both grad and undergrad) of the Ohio State University! Of course we had MUCH to talk about, and it was so lovely to talk to someone about home. She invited me to come with her any time I'd like to shadow and help with procedures, and I definitely plan on taking her up on the offer. Equine medicine is one field I don't have much experience in, so it will be really cool to learn more!
Well I think maybe I ought to go to bed now, too. Tonight was actually a rather disappointing evening, seeing as I went to the mall to hunt for the new "Little Mermaid" Broadway CD and eat at Panera...only to find the mall closed at 7pm. Ah yes, I forgot that Florida is the land of senior citizens, wretched driving, and early closings. Sigh.
So here's to Mickey-heads-on-a-stick, equine vets, and Turkey-pot-pies...since Panera was closed. I think I'm in withdrawal. Quick, someone find me a Frontega Chicken panini! Maybe in my dreams...Labels: disney, horses

This post is about cravings. For example, right now I really want some cheesecake. Creamy, fluffy, rich, chocolately, one-million-effing-calories cheesecake. Bring it on.
Don't you hate totally random cravings that come out of nowhere? This morning my sister called me at 11am because she had a McDonald's craving.
Like the lazy ass I am, I was still in bed.
I had set my alarm for 9am to get up and run. Yes, you read that correctly, Megan is actually trying the whole "exercise" thing. It seems to work wonders for fat asses across the nation, so why not mine? I'll tell you why it won't work for mine. Instead of getting up at 9am to run, I woke up at 11am to go to McDonald's with my sister. :) Yay me!
Actually, I did run after I came home...if you can actually call it running. It was really more like dragging my body around the block and back praying to God that no one saw me gasping for air, breathing like a beached whale. Still, I felt pretty good about myself for trying. Maybe next time I'll try a 10 minute run. XD Don't want to overdo it, you know.
Hm, but I'm still craving cheesecake.
Last night after bible study my friends and I went to Applebee's to celebrate the end of the quarter (AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING HELL YAAAAAAA!). I was absolutely ravenous, as I hadn't had a substantial thing to eat all day. At work earlier in the day I didn't get a chance to slip out for lunch until around 2:15pm. The little snack bar I usually buy lunch from, however, closed at 2pm. So no lunch for Megan. When I came home at around 5pm I just wasn't hungry anymore, but I had a little bit of left over mac and cheese to try and head off the inevitable hunger migraine I knew was forthecoming. Yeah, it didn't work, but Exedrin Migraine is a wonderful thing.
 Back to Applebee's. We ate half-priced-appetizers (except for me - I ordered myself a full meal, thank you very much), and Lisa and I split a Bahamamama. [Photo: Lisa (left) and Me (right) enjoying our Bahamama] It was very good, but we only drank about half of it because both of us are lightweights and both of us were driving. Oh well! Afterwards we all came back to my place and sat up on the roof chatting and enjoying the lovely evening. Did you know Columbus has stars? I didn't either! You can actually see them from my roof at night...
Roof = my new favorite place. You can crawl out onto the roof from my bedroom window, and I've taken to hanging out there every chance I get. I like it because I can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about strangers hastling me or weirdos staring at me, and it's a perfect sunbathing spot. I don't usually lay out in the sun, because I am pretty fair skinned and tend to burn easily. It's nice to have a little sun though, pink or tan, instead of the pasty white color I usually am.
Okay, this post is running a little on the long side and I really have nothing interesting to say, except:
HELL YA RAGS-TO-RICHES! YOU GO GIRL!
Rags to Riches won the Belmont Stakes tonight. She's the first filly to win the Belmont since 1905. Ah yes, girl power reigned supreme. :)
Okay, I'm done now. Does anyone know where I can get some cheesecake?Labels: exercise, food, friends, horses, roof
