Technically

Technically

it’s technically monday, but i am holdin’ strong to sunday still. i never want to let sundays go. i’m not ready to start the week. this was a particularly phenominal sunday. i actually got to relax this afternoon for the first sunday afternoon in months! i fell asleep to the sounds of some sort of sporting event on tv that swz was watching. i think they were bouncing a ball of some sort? maybe trying to make a goal? and…

Why I Do What I Do

Why I Do What I Do

yesterday i was running hungry.last night i was running tired. this morning i am “it’s hard to get out of bed” running sore. this, this is why i run. there is a truck load of stuff on my mind. some of it is really deep, some of it is just lingering. for instance, i’ve been thinking a lot about my Grampy. he has cancer, has no voice (as a result of the previous), and it just breaks my heart when…

What Am I Thinking?

What Am I Thinking?

i finally joined the gym again. it’s been a long time coming. and as i get ready for my loooooong day tomorrow, i ask myself “what am i thinking?” running again? blah. i guess it’s because i’ve turned into a bit of a blob. the time has come. i need to be healthy. it’s very important to me to take care of my body. it’s just that i have really enjoyed not exercising these past few months. all my life,…

Life is so Rad

Life is so Rad

it really is. gathering my thoughts at this late (early) hour is proving difficult for some reason right now. usually i am alive at night, but it’s been such a day that i haven’t had a chance to process it all. i am going to bed soon, and i will lay my head down on my pillow, snuggle into my comfy, soft, flannel sheets, with my 7 layers of blankets anchoring me to my cushy matress and i’m pretty sure…

My BFF

My BFF

meet katie. katie-girl, kate, girl, puuuuuurple, or BFF as i affectionately call her. sigh. i miss her tonight. not just tonight, my heart misses her a lot. we became best friends when i was around 16, and she was 17. no matter how old we were, our excuse for any thing naughty that we did was that we were “only gonna be 16 and 17 once” or whatever age we were- the formula always applied. katie and i bonded rather…
