Wednesday, November 11, 2009

I have a problem. Mice inhabited my house. I am not happy. Thank goodness for George, the manliest man I know. He is not afraid. Tomorrow he comes. Mice beware! For soon you die. No tears will be shed.

halloween half

Saturday, October 31, 2009

This is the 3rd year I’ve talked about doing a halloween half marathon. The difference between this year and all of those other ones? I actually did it this time around. But more importantly, so did my friend Eric.  2 years ago Eric weighed 100 lbs. more than he does today.  And today he ran 13.1 […]

Thursday, October 29, 2009

I heard this the other week on This American Life, a podcast I listen to it almost every Sunday night.  This particular quote stood out to me like a red rose in a field of daisies because I think it fairly accurately and succinctly sums up why I love reading so much.  Reading good books, makes […]

creepy crawly things

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

When I was a kid I was really into creepy crawly things.  Snakes, spiders, worms, fish, frogs, whole nine yards.  I used to LOVE dissecting things, especially in science class.  Figuring out how creatures worked, what their hearts looked like, where their guts were. . . all of it really.  I’m not sure when I […]

goals

Saturday, October 17, 2009
