Advice is like snow; the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper it sinks into the mind.

ahhh..so it's freaking hump day..finally..i'm sooooooooooo waiting for the weekend..well yah but no...after a fun-filled camping weekend (thanx boyfriend!!)...i ended up getting sick=(..and since i played hooky one time for not being sick, i felt bad calling in sick this monday..even though i really wanted to!..ehhh karma on me i guess...so yah...i've been sick since monday..and i'm hoping i'll be better by the weekend..except instead of resting some more on the weekend..we're heading up north for a debut..ehhhh my body's probably gonna be in shock from how busy july's been..at least i have monday off..so hopefully i can catch up w/ some relaxation then..boo..but then i have a dentist appointment that day..soooooooo not looking forward to it..i hope he finds no cavities=P..hehe i haven't had as much chocolate as usual..mmmm chocolate...

anyways..i wonder if i'm going throught my quarter life crisis bit..i mean..i know i'm not 25 yet..ha..just 4 months shy of it..ahhhh!..but still..i had quite an insightful talk with jenn-tot this past weekend..and it help shed some light on a lot of concerns i've been having..i'm hoping things all work out how they should..i guess i just hear some things and it gets me all paranoid and makes me think more than i should about those issues..i guess it's all about go with the flow right?..i shouldn't worry about things that are just fine..okay we'll just see how it goes..

so with camping done..and hawaii peeking through just around the corner..what other fun adventures can we go on now?..hehe for sure camping again..maybe after the heat subdues..but i've been really curious about going white water rafting!...that'd be coooooooool!! any takers?? hehe...

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
 
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

ooooh quick story..so i've kept up with my treadmill days at the gym..and yesterday i was stuck between two guys..one short skinnny guy..one tall kinda mafioso looking chubby guy..so after about a minute into my run i start smelling some foul stench..so i kept thinking, dude one of these guys has some nasty b.o...i mean it seriously reeked that i kept having to grab my towel to cover my nose..heheh yah, i know i'm so discrete huh?..and the mean girl i am assumed it was the big guy who smelled so i casually stuck to the farthest side of my treadmill to try and stay away from him..ehhh just thinking about it makes me nauseous..so this went on for about 10 minutes..why i didn't just leave i have no idea..i think it was just determination to finish my work out..so all of the sudden the short dude on my left leaves..so i'm thinking..hmmm should i switch treadmills to get away from the big guy or would that be too obvious? so i decide to just stick to my far end of the treadmill technique..and whatdayahknow..the smell was gone..it was the short dude who stunk..i felt so bad assuming it was the mafioso man..so yes..never assume..for it makes an ass out of u and me..hehehe..that's my story for the day..hahaha.
