I’m about to rant, not out of anger, just out of curiosity. But the rant consist of words that involve the female anatomy and sex, so you’re going to have to click to jump if you’re really that curious.

I love running.

I really do. I love races even more. The atmosphere, the feeling of accomplishment, the possibility of having a PR.
So knowing that, maybe you can imagine how hard it was for me to have to miss my race today.
There are other races, and Anna offered to have our own 10k down at her family’s lake house. That way I can feel like I earned the shirt. Shes a great friend. :o)

I was an awkward wedding guest yesterday

May 20th at 8AM / tagged: awesome sauce. friends. personal post. personal post is personal. / 0 notes

The only person I knew was the bride and a girlfriend of the bride’s brother and the bride’s mom. Everyone was really busy so I just walked around.

Or stood awkwardly. And I set the reception up, it was an honor to do so. So I was able to occupy my time with fixing things and stuff. All the workers at the reception kept diverting to me and asking questions haha. I ended up cutting the cake and then at the end of the night I cleaned and packed everything up because no one knew what they were doing. It was like they had never been to a wedding before. Anyway,

I finally met her boy, the groom, and he kept hugging me for doing stuff and kissed me on my forehead and I get weird when boys touch me. That was too much information. Anyway.

One more wedding next week. My first two friends to get married, awesome!

As you could probably already tell…

I have resurfaced again to all you tumblr people. Lets do this in bulleted format, shall we?

I found a new church
and an awesome small group
i am making new commitments to Jesus and trying to read everyday.
actually i want to read more in general.
i started a new long term position in kindergarten, i kind of like it.
the chances of me having a full time position at this school went up after two teachers announced retirment
then my principal announced she was retiring
next week is teacher appreciation week and a mom from my classroom sent a note home essentially saying collect gifts for the teacher i am covering for and give nothing to me. interesting
i haven’t run as often as i would like, especially since i want to run a half marathon by the end of this year.
i also had to shop for a dress for a wedding and boy did that bring out a ton of insecurities. ugh.
i may reblog things to keep me inspired on how to dress up my outfits.
i love captain america
but you already knew that

"You’re an intelligent, determined, sweet girl whose come a long way. You graduated college and now you’re teaching and you’re running marathons which is awesome. Don’t let stuff get you down because bad times go as easily and quickly as they come."

My friend Julie, except I don’t run marathons but maybe one day.

I had my first experience with a customer reducing me to tears.

I can’t believe someone could say such mean things and just make stuff up. I promise you, I didn’t even do anything rude or nasty or wrong in the slightest bit. Maybe when I feel like it I will tell you the whole story.

Under pressure.

Last night I felt so good during my run. I pushed myself to go faster and I ended up exhausted. EXHAUSTED. But I gave it every effort. I actually nearly cried at the end.
Still tired from it and I still need to work at old navy, and I’m going to have to work out when I for home. Geez.
I guess I work well under pressure.
Also day two of no meat is going well.
