haha, i am a bit ridiculous but anyway it is 10pm and i'm at the bottom of page 5er.... 10 more to go 10 more to go and i swear i'm gonna stop wasting time.
nonetheless, I finally got the pics up from TN in April, NY in May, and some from this summer in CO.. go under my photos and then under the misc. folder! ENJOY..

i'm not sure how i feel right now but i think this picture sums it up nicely... g'night

It is 9:30pm... 3 pages written.. my brain doesn't want to work.. it is going to be a late night.. awwwhhh and i'll ask myself the question one more time: "why didn't I work on this this afternoon?"
not that any of you care but i'll leave you updates throughout the evening.. 12 more pages to go--on my social construction and how I fit and who I am in America... YIKES...

Procrastination

Fall Creek Falls, TN
April 2006



Funny how I had five things to do today: run, clean apartment, clean car, write 15 page paper, study for final... Funny, how it is 7:30pm and I have not started a single one of them...

Nope instead I went back to sleep, got a shower, went to storage picked up a snowboard/bike rack for my car, ran to REI, went to lunch with Alison and Karie at 3:30pm and left lunch with Al at 5:30pm with a $37 tab OUCH! app, salad, wine! ouch ouch ouch.. that should not cost that much at all.. came home, went for a walk talked to a couple of friends on the phone and now am settling in on my bed to write the paper.. yuck! oh well
off to New York soon...but not soon enough! toodles!

learning to ride a bike....

It has been forever since I have blogged. I guess summer will do that to you. A couple of new things Daniel hooked me up with a road bike and today made my third outting... hmmm.. no it was good, besides the frustration fit I threw at the midway point of this little hill... I get so mad at myself.. oh well.. guess we'll all have those mine haven't been so few and far lately as I am still (months later) attemping to get back into my grove of running and such. what can ya do?
Nonetheless, it was fun and I was challenged. After I got my bout of "pissedoffness" (yep, its a word now), I was good to go up maybe 1/8 of lookout mountain, okay maybe not even and 1/8 but it is a start. right? :( I'll just keep pluggin away bit by bit.. sometimes I wonder why i have to be so competitive because then when I feel it is out of my realm i shut down and quit performing..... plus, riding makes me miss lacrosse. i miss being really good at something... it'll come it will come..

Headed to NY... ROAD TRIP next week.. super exciting. I can't wait to see my friends and my family!!!! CANNOT WAIT.. I miss them oh soooooooo much. It is so funny when you are so far away and don't have the luxuries of just stopping in and saying hi or going grocery shopping at your grandparents' and parents' houses............. or just sitting and eating stove popped popcorn and a glass of wine while watching a movie with my other grandmama...those are the things I took for granted when I was living there that I miss the most! oh tear... miss my family.. i am forever grateful for the wonderful grandparents and parents that i have.. I'll post again with pictures! Read below its good.. now off to write a 5 page paper, a 15 page paper, and study for a final... shaaaaabangggggg butt whipping!

Never Argue with a Woman

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out.
She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the
woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her.
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fi shing. I'm reading."
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.
" But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

Helloooo Denver....

I am sitting at my favorite coffee shop again, putting off school work..... It has been a lazy Saturday afternoon. I got up around 9am jogged four miles, worked two hours, went home and slept for 3 hours.... wow... so untypical of me, considering after that I laid on my bed and talked on the phone for a little over an hour... lazy lazy lazy...

Tomorrow we are up bright and early to go hike Herman Lake or something like that... It should be fun...

I felt like I actually had a story to post and.... I can't remember it now to save my life.. hmmmm.. I go home in three weeks!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, I can't wait. School has started again and my fall is packed but oh well.. what can ya do!? get through it thats all I have to remember, just get through it.

I'm going to miss this place when I leave but I don't think I will stay. A lot could change in a year that is for sure and so I can't promise that I won't stay but.... I have got this travelling bug once again and we all know what happened last time I got it this bad... I ended up half way across the world... i'm ready for that again... but hey i'm going into our country's failing educational system so.....I'll have summers off and lots of time to travel!

I think that is about it. I should go to it and work on that paper. Sorry my posts haven't been all that exciting!

past weekend---awesome awesome awesome.. my family took me up to their mtn. house and took me sailing...then i hit up the WP with Carm. We were hoping to lay out but by the time we finished running and lifting the sun was gone and thunder clouds had rolled in.. We ended up watching sweet home alabama and eating pita chips and hummus all afternoon-i can't remember the last time i did that. then out to dinner then back to denver for moi.

next weekend destination: steamboat springs! hoot hoot!

lastly the best pick up line i've ever heard: "do you want to see my one-eyed trouser snake" funny funny funny story behind that one!
