Running: Lake vs. the City
people in cars smile instead of making inappropriate remarks
the elderly pause on their walks to wave
deer (lot’s of them), wild turkeys, squirrels
the smell of fresh cut grass, clean air
the abscence of other runners (passing me by and making me feel like crap about myself)
a gentle breeze
Things I learned while I was at home...
You’ve really gotten old when the kids you used to babysit as infants are all grown up and in junior high
Your parents’ friends will gasp in disbelief when they find out how old you are, only to launch into a monologue about turning 30.
My family will still make me totally insane if I’m forced to spend more than two days with them.
Being the oldeset is effing exhausting.
My...
time for a little graduating
Mike and I are at my parent’s home to see four of my five siblings graduate (two from elementary school, one from middle school, and one from high school.) We’re busy, but it’s so good to be home enjoying small town life again.
If only the damn San Francisco weather hadn’t have followed us here …
Today I cleaned, cleaned, cleaned, then ate pizza, pizza, pizza! (Remember those commercials?!)
It was awesome, by the way. (The pizza part. Not the cleaning, obviously.)

Boy, I've been MIA this week.
I don’t know what’s gotten into me, but I can’t seem to think straight. And everything feels off somehow. But I’m working on returning to normal (if there is such a thing.)
things that are keeping me sane this weekend:
book club, The Reader, and we get to watch the movie, too
baking (and eating) german chocolate cake squares for book club
fance-shmance dinner at home:...
