Oh Hey!

Well, I will not deny the fact that so far, I am a failed blogger. Here's to trying to be diligent in this haha. Soooo much to tellllllllllll. Where to start. Well, I have no idea why, when or where I got the idea that I wanted to take a Microbiology class, but that is what I did and wow, the world is a gross place. I'm growing bacteria in my pantry. Never thought I would do that. And I am learning all of these long names and official names for common things like the flu and fungus' and other gross things that I would like to pretend don't exist but now cannot deny. Totally ruined my view of the perfect world that is ours Dr. what's your face that is going from biology to start a band....... Mid-life crisis much? Uhm, my job on Summit avenue has been a major big huge failure. Just lots of odd things that combine to make a not so great thing to be doing with a lot of waiting in between. Living at home is actually kind of great. Free food, no rent, date nights with the rentals and company. I am really close with my sister, love ya bebe. Speaking of sister. We had this craaaazy idea back in the summer that we were going to run a 5k together around Halloween time! And back in August, Halloween seemed really far away, well guesss what, Halloween is here. And the race is on Saturday. Goal time: Anything that wont get me last place out of 2500 people and dogs haha. I have actually grown to quite like running. It took me awhile to "warm up" to it(hahahahahahhaaha runnning joke! boom). I really like it now. I guess like is not really the word for it since anyone who says that they "like" or "love" running is kidding themselves. I can tolerate running and have a semi enjoyable time now is the more appropriate phrase to use. So Sara and I are being super heros for the Monster Dash 5k on Saturday the 29th around Lake Harriet. And I am proud to say that I am only a little bit freaking out. I have just never done the whole "let's pay to run thing" but am proud that I am actually following through with one of the crazy ideas I had. And it's helping me get back into shape. I no longer die on the treadmill! So I will take that little win. Who knows, maybe running will become my "thing". 

Hmmm, funny things that have happened to me lately..... I tripped on my run today! On a crack in side walk. And it was one of those moments where you know that it's there, you see it, you become the crack and you prepare to smoothly venture over it with one stride. So I get to the crack that I saw 50 feet before I got to it, and I stride and I fail. It was like the minute I got to that crack it became a fault line in California after a 10 magnitude earthquake. It was not that big when I was looking at it and mentally preparing NOT to trip but instead just f-ed it up and tripped and did a little side roll onto the grassy hill next to the side-walk. But what do I do? I become all "Imma CIA agent" and do a roll back down to the side walk and gracefully get back up and keep on running. At least that's what I did in my head. In actuality, I tripped onto the hill, stopped for a minute, laugh at myself, got up, walked over the crack and then kept running, all the while still laughing and being glad that I was on a back street and not on the busy one. Would not be the first time I've eaten grass in front of a whole line of cars, but I'm glad it wasn't. The first time I ate grass in front of a line of cars was when my sister and I decided to be all athletic and jazz and decided to bike to the tennis court that was actually pretty far away. About half way there, both of my tires are flat, and I was young a dumb so I just kept going to you can guess what happened next. I tried to turn a corner on the sidewalk and it was a crowded intersection and since my tires were flat, turning was impossible. So instead of putting my foot down to get off the bike, I tried to turn and just failed miserably. Plop goes me, bike and all, into a yard. And what does Sara do? Just laughs. Of course what do I do? Wave at the people laughing at me and just lay there for a minute basking in the fact that I was still on my bike, just horizontal instead of vertical like a normal person would be on a bike. I was not injured in case you were wondering( I know you were worried). 

Well, until I get another creative boost feeling and go all indie writer in a coffee shop while waiting for my kidlet, adieu.
