Whoooo good stuff. I’ve posted this before, but thought it warranted another posting.

Once upon a time...
…I was forced to listen to approximately 8 hrs of The Carpenters on a road trip with the fam. When my brother and I confronted Big Steve about this, he said “What??!?!?! The tape hasn’t even flipped over yet. You all are crazy, and Karen Carpenter is an angel.”
Moral of the story. Tapes are torture devices. My dad is clearly a child abuser.

Random thoughts, part 1
One of the things I have learned over the years is to give second chances… and sometimes even thirds or fourths.
I am not perfect, so why would I expect others to get it all right on the first try?! Nonsense!
And sometimes it will hurt me, and I am ok with that. I doubt I will look back on my life and wish I’d given less.
Dreams
simplyjen:
Him: I had a dream that the president ate dinner with us.
Me: I had a dream tiff and I were at lenox mall shopping at anthropologie.
Him: Whose dream is better?
Me: Mine of course. I have better chances of mine coming true.
I like that dream, and I hope it comes true soon :)
I am so proud of you. You are an inspiration to all, my love.
(And I’m glad I could help, but you did all the work! You’ve made a huge lifestyle change. So proud, so so proud.)

I’d forgotten how happy running makes me. I got to run yesterday for the first time in almost 2 weeks, and it was glorious. Endorphins I suppose.
It’s a two way street because I certainly don’t enjoy parts of my run, and it’s hard to be motivated at times.
But it’s one part of my day that I know is always there. Me. Some pavement. Music. The sunshine. A break from...
“If you’re not sure of what you love, that means you can be talked out of it, and that’s a slippery slope.
Is your boyfriend cute? Was Hurt Locker the best movie of the year? Are you going to go out in those shoes? Should you take the promotion and move to Boston? Did I wear “Hammer” pants on stage in Houston or is Rick Owens a visionary clothing designer?
It all depends on who you ask.

Things I hear from the Dutch man at work
“Now, the ape comes out your sleeve.” (explanation: When someone admits to having done something wrong.)
“You never know how a cow catches rabbit.” (explanation: For when you convince someone to do something that you know is practically impossible.)
Anonymous asked: You aren't as pretty or trendy as you think you are. You look old. It's gross. Seriously, what's with the way you dress and your stupid phone pics in the mirror? Stop trying to be someone you aren't. No one likes a poser. Get a life.
Thank you...
everyone for your thoughts and prayers! I’m doing well.
Love you guys!

A request
I have a quick favor to ask of ya’ll. If you guys are of the praying variety, please keep me in yours tomorrow morning. I am having surgery. (It should be minor, but give Jesus a shout out for me if ya don’t mind.)
Thank you!

I have a friend who always refers to her husband by his first and last name. (They both have one syllable, so it flows well.) She’s done this since they first started dating. I find it endearing and charming, and she always sounds like she adores him. It’s her pet name for him, only it’s his real name :)
Dear Jen (aka lil jen),
Please write an Irish rap today. I need your mad rap skills in my life.
Love,
