I had a completely craptastic day at work and since we didn't have practice I came home, took off my pants, and zoned out into tv land with Chinese takeout. None of these things were healthy or productive.

And then I watched This video

And realized I needed to get off my ass. And I went and ran on the treadmill and ran longer and faster than I have thus far. And I'm damn proud Of myself for that.

And I just had the most asinine conversation on the phone that was just a waste of time but you know what, I stood up for myself. Bc I'm worth it. And it's taken me this long to believe it, but I absolutely do. I am worth do much more than the worst i have ever been. And I feel good about it. Things will shake out how they may, but I stood my ground for what I deserve out of life and I'm not one bit sorry.

Thankful for: wavin flag, kids who are strong and make me feel strong. Fully believing I deserve the best out of life.

Today has just been a strange day all the way around. And I hurt my quad at soccer and am pissed about that. But I'm thankful for the time the last few days I've got to spend with LJ, for tomato soup, and for ice/heat

Today was a good day overall. amanda's bday is today so we took her to dinner at Black Bear. somehow we managed to talk her into doing a wheelbarrow out of the restaurant for $30. i will post the video later. each time i watch it i laugh harder. i am so so glad my friends are as crazy as i am. i was feeling (well, still am) incredibly intimidated by the upcoming Warrior Dash. Thankfully, Ranae sent me some videos to keep me going. This one is phenomenal and you should watch it now. i've gotten two more donations to my St. Judes page for the race (don't forget, you still have a few days to donate!) and i'm passed my fundraising goal and i'm so thankful to everyone. i've got a special plan for the race, if i can remember to do it. i ran on the treadmill this evening after not having gone on a real run in awhile, and it was hard but good. (thats what she said)

I've Had a really good weekend with my family. They went ahead and came up even though I didn't move, so we went ahead and packed and cleaned as much as possible. And saw dark shadows, which was dumb. Lol. But it's what the parentals wanted to see.

I know I rag on them a lot but I genuinely am so thankful for them. They have put up with a lot from me.

I took them to Kenyan cafe today and Amanda came and it was a lot of fun. I couldn't talk dad into the goat stew though. Haha.

In packing up I found some art prints I had ordered awhile back. I don't know if you have ever seen the Gaping Void, but they are sorta comics but all with a really great message. I framed some
Of them today. This is my favorite. It says everything I believe in life.






Thankful for: family. Love. Packing tape. Magic erasers. Sleepy puppy and cousins.

Why is it on day's you can sleep in that you always seem to wake up early?
I've been messing around on instagram more lately (get the app if you don't have it) bc more people seem to be on there and it's a neat way to keep in touch. I know Ben said he likes seeing all my photos and makes him really miss wv and everyone. But since I couldn't sleep I played around with it a bit more and learned all the features and filled out my profile and all that good stuff. I didn't realize how long I've had this until I went back and looked at all my photos. Obviously I had to delete several of them as they are no longer relevant to my life. But, that's just how things are. Clean house and all.
Moving in a few weeks is going to be a disaster I realized bc not many ppl are going to be around to help. I think what I'm going to have to do is go bribe all my old trainers at the gym. I know those boys would probably do just about anything for me, so at least I have that as an option.
Amanda and I have set up a side project blog to chronicle the funny stories and disasters we experience with online dating. I know I get so many ransoms that say the most bizarre things sometimes. Amanda has been on more actual dates from it and some of her stories are just priceless. She has become friends with a few of them and she wants me to meet one of them and he seems to want to meet me, so why not. More fodder for the blog. Plus he has amazing abs and thinks I'm pretty. I'm talking to a couple people on there for fun and am approaching it with the mentality to just be brutally honest about everything. But hey. Like I said, entertaining. I had a really fun last night talking to one of them who I may just allow to meet me this weekend. It's a nice change being told I'm interesting and funny and pretty from being told to just die or being called a heartless bitch. I'm not going into it with the idea of finding Someone to settle down with, I'm just doing it for fun. It's summer and I feel pretty lately and I just want to have a good time. And if someone is lucky enough to recognize that, then I won't run away from it. The bucket list item of going on dates is not going to be a problem. And I'm enjoying myself, which is something I've just not done in a long time.
At any rate. I'm going to try to go back to sleep for a bit. Mom is still coming up for the day even though I'm not moving now. And then I'm probably going to go out this evening. And if the weather is nice tomorrow I'm definitely taking the puppy to the lake. I feel like today is going to just be a really great day. Tomorrow too.
Much love and sunshine.
