Say Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

Oh man!

I'm neglecful. 

And forgetful.

And sorry. 

Since the last post, I have:

• trained, run and killed the Pike's Peek 10K
• went to a FIJI formal with a dear friend of mine
• at said formal, realized that I can no longer keep up with my younger counterparts
• and also that drinks in college towns are super cheap and affordable
• celebrated the "end of school year" being close by starting the countdown (35 days today)
• kicked ass in skeeball
• bought and neglected "Life of Pi" (currently sitting on my night stand)
• went to Rumors and acted like I was 21 years old again
• donated a ton of clothes and shoes
• spent a grand on my car (so sad)
• finally got a handle on my students' learning
• youtubed how to play the guitar (haven't picked my guitar up yet)
• started and finished Big Brother Australia 2010 (72ish episodes) and loved every minute of it
• started putting money away for a trip to Australia in the near future
• invited myself to visit a friend who hasn't even moved to San Diego yet
• invited myself to my BFFs Dewey beach house for pretty much the entire summer
• applied for summer school (fingers crossed I get it)
• ran the WO&D trail that's literally right across the road from my apartment
• reminisced about JMU while driving down Port Republic
• drank my face off

I promise to do my best to keep up with this damn blog... as the weather gets warmer it's getting harder (that's what she said).

I met this fella on Saturday.  It was love at first sight for both of us.  I mean, I can't even begin to describe how adorable he is.  And look at his chubby hands/fingers.  Now picture them trying to sign some words in sign language.  I.CAN'T.EVEN!!!

E, seen passed out on my chesticles is 50% black, 50% white/ginger... 100% adorable. 

I want my future baby to look like him.... let's make this happen people!

What Did I Just Do?

I just signed up for my first 10K...  it's in one and half weeks.  I've been training for it for the past 6 weeks.  Here is what I've learned:

• I can do it.
• running is not as hard to train for as I thought.
• neon running shoes will be my next purchase.
• running on the W&OD trail is A LOT easier than a treadmill.
• time goes faster running outdoors with a friend.
• while I hate techno, it makes the run better.
• watching "White Chicks" while running makes me run faster.
• stretching makes a world of a difference.

Here is what I have noticed:

• I sweat now in places that I've never sweat before.
• I cut 15 minutes off my 5K time (from the Color Run).
• I'm mentally stronger than I once thought I was.
• I miss running on days that I not scheduled to run.
• my ass looks better in my boy shorts.
• I'm always hungry now.

So.... to summarize.  I've been training for a 10K in which I feel I'm not prepared.  I have a week and a half to go.  What was I thinking?

More SBux Drama...

I've blog before about my creepy old guy at Panera and how he happened to show up at SBux one time and remember me.  Well, I ended up moving to A-ton and stopped going to that SBux altgother.  Gone were the days of H, my sexy barista, upgrading me for free.  Gone were the days of H flirting with me and giving me a huge ego boost.  Gone were the days when I felt like a rockstar. 

.... or so I thought.

The route to school happens to include a new SBux.  And one fateful day I walked in only to find H, the sexy barista, behind the counter.  Both of us shocked, and slighly worried on my part that he thought I was stalking him, we managed to discuss how we both ended up at that SBux.  He was promoted to that store manager and I moved and worked around the corner.  So, it wasn't so weird.

This was at the beginning of the school year.  From that day on I got:

• upgrades to ventis on anything I ordered
• extra shots if I ordered a latte
• free pastries if he was behind the counter
• specialty drinks for $0.50 - even if I order more than one.  The total always comes to $0.53

It's been amazing. 

Recently the "hellos" have turned into hugs.  And passing me his business card.  And then, one morning after I returned from Spring Break, he actually came from behind the counter, hugged me and asked me a series of questions.

• Where have you been?
• Do you have a boyfriend?
• Why haven't you come to see me at Nordstroms?
• Would you like to go see a movie with me?  I would like to take you out?
• What are you doing Friday?  (told him Fridays are hard after a week of teaching)
• What about Saturday?  (told him I had a baby shower)
• Sunday night?  (told him I had weekly family dinners)

So then he told me to let him know when I was available.  I said okay, grabbed my coffee and then left.

Problem.
What do I do?  I hate turning people down.  But I'm not interested... I'm okay with losing my freebies but I don't want to embarrass him.  Or me.  Ugh...  What's a girl to do?

Everybody Do....

I was in my car getting ready to walk into the gym. 

I was wearing red slacks. 

My Camelbak bottle was running low on water. 

I had an extra bottle of water sitting in the cup holder.

I decided to pour the water bottle into the Camelbak.

And so I did the most logical thing and put the Camelbak between my legs. 

I then opened the top of the water bottle and the Camelbak bottle. 

And I poured the water from the small bottle into the Camelbak.

And then I missed the opening towards the end of the pour.

Water went everywhere.

Let me remind you that the Camelbak was between my legs. 

I walked into the gym looking like I had peed my pants. Okay, not fully peed... maybe just a little squirt like when you sneeze or laugh too hard. 

And wouldn't you know it, hottie gym homeboy (who I'm digging) at the moment was standing right when I walked in.  

Again, this is my life.  Take it or leave it.
