It's ALIVE!

well rather, she's alive!  trixie here.  i apologize for my absence.  thanks to jes for posting about amazing button bowls, birth control users are NOT sluts, tv watching and Method cleaners.

i have a problem.  i blog almost constantly in my head.  i wonder if it would be bad to have several posts a day or just keep scheduling them to post once a day and then if i ever go on vacation (i really need one) then i can get away with no posting for a while.

here is how my time has been spent this last week: cleaning and cleaning with no success, completing the 2 seasons of "Downton Abbey" in a matter 5 days (it's only 7 eps each but some are at least 1.5 hours long),  and exercising. i told myself that come march 1, i had to get back into healthy habits.  i admit it is not easy waking up at 5:20am to be at the gym by 6, 4 times a week but i know i will be grateful come swimsuit season.

swimsuit season...... i've never really cared about how my body looked to others but now that i have officially hit past my prime (is 30 considered one's prime?  it must be all that "downton abbey" getting to my head), i am worried for my health and the shape of my body.  now now trixie, you might say.  you don't have the right to complain about your looks.  ok, i say but it does not mean that i cannot be at least somewhat concerned about them.  i will admit that i do have some body dysmorphic disorder.  who doesn't? i'm sure gisele bundchen hates parts of herself behind closed doors but i'm sure with a man like tom brady like your side, you'd have not much to be concerned about.

oh "downton abbey".  i resisted for so long.  it seemed everyone around me jumped on that bandwagon so quickly.  i think it's the american in us that are obsessed with a country that oppressed our religious freedom so long ago (do people not recall the revolutionary war?!?).  we forgive and then obsess.  not really but perhaps.  i, being american but of asian descent, are cut of the mold of my asian people: they love all things american and british.  even their cartoon characters have large caucasian eyes.  anywho.  so back to downton.  oh i love love love.  i cannot express my obsession with this show.  matthew crawley is the new mr. darcy.  seriously.  omg.  lady mary crawley.  my newest idol.  i may be writing a post on eye lid surgery and skin whitening creams soon.  J/K.  i think because i watched so much of this show in a short amount of time that it has permeated my being.  language, included.  it's funny to think that we hear a a british accent and we think of intelligence.  we hear a southern accent, and the opposite occurs...until now.  i heard simon cowell on the radio the other morning and a lady on the morning show who has a southern accent said she loved sc and loved brit accents. hey asked if the brits adored a southern accent or even a regular american accent.   sc said that over there in the uk, they adore southern accents.  wha?!  so y'all people with them southern drawls, y'all best be headed to england to find yous a soul mate.  ;)
