Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So...get on your way.
-Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss)

you know..if you ever listerine after a meal..don't chew a piece of gum afterwards..the strong aftertaste of the listerine just diminishes all flavor of the gum so it feels like the gum is useless..bah..oh well..yay hump day...half way til the weekend..haha..grrreat..hmm actually i'm not even sure i'm looking forward to this weekend..i have to work on saturday..ehhhh..and hopefully i can make it to practice on sunday..man, i've realized..that out of all the sports i've ever played, softball was not my favorite..haha..i mean, i like batting..but get me to catch a flyball and that's a whole other story..either i underestimate or overestimate it and i end up running to catch the ball..boo..and grounders..ha, another monster to tackle..i swear i think i have this phobia of grounders that come near sprinklers in the lawn..i remember one that i was running towards and it freaking hit the sprinkler and instead of bouncing into my mitt..bounced onto my shin instead..leaving me with this nasty huuuuuuuuuuuge purple bruise..ouch i shudder! hehe..

besides practice..i have to start my marathon training again..i did the nike run hit wonder with jay & cicely..haha sucks that they made the 10k and 5k people split like right after crossing the start line..it was literally like..crossing the line..then "bye cicely, bye jay..have fun at your concert!"..haha..so i finally was able to get my results..a chiptime of 01:04:10, pace 10:19.9..hmm and that's just for 6. 2 miles..i wonder if i can improve from last year and hold on to that pace for 20 more miles?..hehe..cuz i know for the marathon i was good at the halfway mark..had about the same pace..then it just increased and by the end i was at an average of a little over 12 minutes/mile..boo..oh well..at least i finished under my goal time..hahah by one minute!..so the next time (hoping that my knees don't give out by then!!)..i'm going for that 10 minute mile pace..yah yah, i should be running faster right?..dude, it's hard!..i need a bit more training for that..=P

gosh..i didn't realize how busy the months still are..i thought things would cool off in september..but all the things that have been postponed for after september are taking up all future weekends..me & boyfriend still have to do our barnstorming thing..go to the san diego zoo..try to watch the colts game next week versus the 49ers...might be going to a baptism in a few weeks..lots to do..woohoo..oh yah and so this little birdie is FINALLY leaving its nest!..yup, imma trying to move out..hmm, now if me & cicely could only find a nice apartment like the ones in irvine..but situated in the l.a. area and fitting our budget needs..so far..it's been hard!..but if we can find one by next month..yay i'll be in a new place before i turn 26..haha, so technically i'll have been on my own at age 25?..hehe..and no i haven't given up on the idea of buying a house..it's just being postponed til early next year, hoping that the tustin homes can become more affordable...please..please??!!!

man..there's just too many things i want to do before i'm 30..i have a little over 4 years to still travel (he, i'm not going to stop traveling at 30..i just have a list of for sure places i want to see before i'm 30!!)..i'm shooting for japan 2006..maybe in october (cuz i remember anne marie said the fall looks pretty) and europe may 2007..maybe a little tahiti or hawaii action next memorial weekend?..hahah i'm thinking hawaii..cuz i'll be broke for japan if i do tahiti..we'll see..but for reals..that's the goal..gosh..how am i suppose to be saving for a house when my mind keeps looking for more things to do?..i need some self-control..haha!..better start increasing my automatic withdrawals into my savings...so that as long as i don't see the money..then i can't spend it!...

i think my new guilty pleasure is watching kitchen confidential..c'mon..food..comedy..food..what more can you ask for?=)

okay, just want to say a prayer for lou's lola, i hope she's feeling better!!!
