What got me through this day

(Disclaimer: I wrote this in about 30 seconds. No judging. It's ridiculous I know, but I needed something to do)

What got me through this day
Of what seemed like eternal gray

A little lot of sunshine
A Dr Pepper so I won't pine

Pirate Booty
To complete the looting

Peanut Butter M&M's,
Ate a bazillion of 'em

Odwalla smoothie
Helped me feel groovy

A bagel with cream cheese
For brunch (or was it lunch?) if you please

A classy sweater on my shoulders
Yes I did just give some smoulder

Chatting moments with a friend
Blogging for teachers, again and again

Errands to and fro
Picking up mail and well, you know

Finding excuses to leave these chairs
Up and down ten flights of stairs

Scentsy smells that reminded me of a boy
Brought short moments of illicit joy

Not having to take care of snack
Helped me to relax

Spotify  music filled with Taking Back Sunday
Made this such a good day

Ingrid Michaelson finished it up
Followed by Mumford and Sons to psyche me up


Writing terrible poetry got me going
Pretending like I know what I'm doing


To give you this ridiculous poem
Until I can finally go home

Today's going to be a long day...

Sunday Morning Karma

Don't worry I just had the most fabulous morning ever-

Oatmeal was sounding pretty good so I decided to whip some up on the stove. Put the water on to boil to come back 10 minutes later after I forgot about it to realize that specific burner wasn't actually working. After finally getting one to work and cooking it up I went to go eat my lovely oatmeal with just the right amount of brown sugar glazing the top. I proceeded to pull out five...5...FIVE hairs in the course of eating it. Each time trying to convince myself that everything was fine and it was probably my own hair. But no I finally could NOT do it anymore. When I went to rinse the bowl out after dumping the remains in the garbage I found several more hairs. The bowl was cursed. I have no idea how that many hairs got in it. I still don't, and I'm sure that they weren't all mine.

So I proceed to go for an egg. I've had eggs from Fern and Josh since last week and they needed to be used. As I go to crack the egg into the skillet it proceeds to crack with extra force and eject yolk all over my skirt. And of course it's now a complete mess in the skillet. Scrambled eggs! But no, they proceed to burn and cook poorly because of the chose skillet. I finally get too frustrated and throw the egg out. As I'm washing the skillet I then manage to spill soapy dish water all down the other side of my skirt. It's ok, I didn't want to wear this skirt today anyway.

I'm still hungry. Starving in fact. It's 11:30 and I could use a good late breakfast. So I'm going for toast. Peanut butter toast, I probably didn't get enough protein from all that hair. It's fool proof, right? I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't burn

Feeling hippie lately with my handmade jewelry

I've never been much of a jewelry person, but lately I can't help but wear some really cool necklaces I rummaged out of my mother's jewelry box; including a couple handmade, and from Mozambique.

I'm Getting Better

At least I hope so...

My favorite- kudos to Bobby for taking this

 Lead Climb up Rock Canyon

Remember that one day that I ran a half marathon? Well after finishing it I took a hiatus from running to let my IT band heal fully. I first waited a whole month before going running again and I did alright. Today was another good day of running with no pain in my right leg. YAY!!! Granted the high altitude makes my throat burn like crazy and I have to stop every now and then even though my body is doing fine. Slowly but surely I'm starting to get back into the game. I'm hoping to run a few 5k's this semester and then another half next year. Or sooner :)
