| Published: July 2, 2008, 10:54 am |
| Tags: Health |
| For the last two weeks I've been trying a morning workout routine instead of my usual after-work routine. I get up around 5:20 a.m., throw on my gym clothes, and arrive at the gym at 5:45.

| One of my best friends got married a week ago today. It blew my mind. I am a 22-year-old woman in a stable relationship and the idea of marriage sent me into a whirlwind of thoughts.

| I can't remember the last time I've been so excited about a movie. Maybe I'm just enamored by the over-the-top, action-packed trailers I see during every commercial break.
