First day of Summer

What I wore: Romper- Target,  Cardi- Delias, Shoes - Target, Purse- H&M

You know those days when it's summer and you can just feel it?

Yeah.

That's not today.

But,

it's still a great day.

Since it's raining 

(in JUNE for goodness's sake!)

It just means I get the day to bake.

And read. 

And maybe watch a film here and there.

In other news!

I have decided to challenge myself in taking a photo each day of the summer.

This is going to be challenging,

coming from the girl who just locked her keys in the car 

and was luckily rescued by her resourceful mother 

and a thing called a "spare key".

Riveting stuff, I know. 

But,

I really hope to succeed in this quest and upload the coolest ones

since posting  picture each day could get old.

Have a sprightly (and sprinkly) day.

:)

Bee Happy

You know what is the greatest? Nice people. I don't mean the people who are nice to you one time after you tripped and embarassed yourself in fornt of all you peers or when your mom dressed you for school in a turtle neck and vest. That's just plain pity nice. No, I mean the truly and genuinely wonderful and nice people down to the bone. They are just  lovely. Simply lovely. I can't get over how much of an impact being kind can have on someone. It can completely change a persons day! So yeah. Be nice. All the time. No matter what. Everyone will love you. 

Anywho,

Have a happy day and smile. It's good for you to show off those pearly whites!

Hill, Yeah

Running?

Yes please!

A 12k?

Oh, my!

7.2 miles?

Hill yeah, I do! 



Sound to Narrows 12k buddies!



June 9th, Sound to Narrows 12k.

A few friends and I decided to race it, as we've never run a 12k before.

This morning I woke up at 6:30 for this baby!

and

IT WAS FLIPPING FANTASTIC!

kickin' that asphalt

serenading each other

jumping through sprinklers

being encouraged by passerbys (being called a stallion?.. what?)

Ah.

T'was glorious.

It was my first race longer than a 5k and I was SO excited,

my favorite part might've been when they hand you water in little paper cups

and you get to feel all BA-runner status as you attempt to

refuel and end up pouring it all over yourself

and throwing it on the ground.

Each time I threw one down,

I had the urge to yell the SNL quote

"So, I threw it on the groundddd!!!!"

But,

besides that it was (mostly) normal!

I finished with a time of 1:15:25

better than I thought I would.

Then we rolled down a hill and ate some oranges.

And after it all,

I ended up with:

sore legs

a free tee-shirt

dos loaves of bread

hand sanatizer

gatorade

lots of raffle tickets

a cool Paul Bunion tattoo on my bicep

numerous free multicare items

and a smile.

:)

I have done it.

Time to cross it off my list and get a better time in the next one.



Can't get you off my mind

This is what summer looks like to me.

Today feels like Friday.

But it is not.

 It is thursday, pretending to be Friday.

I am wishing for Friday and the weekend.

A 12k to run.

A night devoted to yummies and sappy love movies: aka Anti-prom. 

*zoom forward to next week*

 Senior night out (sooooooooooooo flip flopping excited).

End of school.

Becoming a senior? 

(not sure if it's excitement or fear. perhaps a bit of both)

 Summer parties.

Summer. Summer. Summer. SUMMER.

That's pretty much what's been going through my mind all day.

Oh the woes of being a junior, summer on the mind and T-14 days to go.

Let's do this.
