Getting lost tacks on at least a 1/2 mile.
I don’t know about you, but I always have a hard time making friends. I’m one quirky individual who doesn’t always like showing my true colors to everyone I meet. Fortunately for me I found a really fabulous bestie out here and on Friday I ran to her house. Tracy lives a whopping 10 miles from me and after getting slightly turned around it turned into 10.5 miles! I got up...
4.7 Miles to Hannah's
Yesterday I ran 4.7 miles through the streets of Silverlake all the way to up to my friend Hannah’s house. When I say up, I mean UP! Hannah lives in a really neat apartment building that overlooks the most beautiful southern California scenery. Now it overlooks scenery because her street is insanely steep. Fortunately for me, I didn’t have to run up hill for long AND I was rewarded by...

Running to Friend's Series!
In the past year I’ve gotten really into running. Well, I shouldn’t call it running. I’ll call it jogging. I’m a short person with short legs and a short stride so I jog. Nonetheless it’s crazy to see how much I (almost) enjoy running now. I’ve done 5k’s, 10k’s, completed my first half marathon in Kona, Hawaii (Watch it here!:...
Favorite Person in the office #6
Aaron: When the two of you are talking seriously I’m just waiting for one of you to say something nasty.
Me: We don’t say mean things to one another all the time.
FPITO: No, not at all.
……
FPITO: Although, I did just find out that her mother is not her real mother.
Compliments.
Me: I've been feeling down lately.
best friend: Well, when I'm feeling down I always go to that person who gives me really great compliments.
Me: I know, that's why I'm talking to you. Compliment me.
best friend: Your mom is really nice.
Me: ...thanks.

Emails with favorite person in the office #5
Me: My car looks b-e-a-utiful in your parking spot.
Fpito (Favorite person in the office): I hope a Condor flies over it and let's go.
It’s ridiculous to think that we have one body,... →
I could run all day long if Wheel of Fortune was on 24 hours a day.

My left quad hurts and I’m depressed about it = going to bed at 8pm.
Yay, us! →
What are you getting mom for Mother's Day?
Here are a succession of emails between my two older brothers and I:
ME:
What did you guys get mom for mother’s day?
Bro #1:
I just ordered her some flowers.
Bro #2:
I did as well.
ME:
Good. Now I can be more original.
Bro #1:
I just called Mom and told her that you’re scrambling to get her a mother’s day gift. She said to just forget it.
Brother, Mom said she loves...
I think I’m getting shin splints. I want to cry.
I had my first cup of coffee ever today.
I feel like I’m going to have a heart attack.
Email from my oldest brother to the rest of my...
Mom,
It puzzles me that I am your least favorite of the three kids and the only one that is planning to see you in person on Mother’s Day. What else has a kid got to do to move up the list?
Love you,
Tom

Convo with a bestie
Bestie: What's the deal with that cute boy?
Me: I don't know. I may see him in a couple weekends. I just feel like it's bad timing right now.
Bestie: Why is it bad timing?
Me: Well, it's almost summer. I'm coming home, going to Hawaii, then going to Europe where im going to meet Prince Harry, get married, never come back and live there in my castle.
Bestie: I'd hate you...unless you would marry me off to a baron or something
Me: Duh. ...Or make you my maid. One or the other. Not sure which.

I need to take my iron pills.
I’m tired.

I had the worst nightmare of my life last night.
I dreamed someone cut my hair.
My friend David is colorblind.
David: (after being on facebook) Ummmm, you look so good in that picture you just put up.
Me: I do?! I feel like my cheeks look way too pink.
David: Oh, I have a red deficiency, so I don't see it.
“Face down in the dirt. She said, this doesn’t hurt. I’ve finally had...”
I missed my g-chat best friend.
I love how...
I send out a text to my four best friends asking a question and get answers back from all four within a matter of minutes.
I’m a lucky girl.

I would give anything for a quesadilla right now.
Favorite person in the office: Part III
Me: Ew, did you brush your hair today?
C: (shakes head no) Nor my teeth.
Perfect Sunday:
Read at Mass.
Shopped.
Made a delicious dinner that included vegetable tian and fruit salad with home-fried cinnamon tortilla chips.
Baked my mom’s famous chocolate chip cookies and added chocolate drizzle.
RAN 10 MILES! (YES!!)
Today my boss told me I was becoming a California...
I kind of think she’s right.
“I know something is truly funny when I think about it later and it still makes...”
My favorite person in the office: Part II
Me: Lauren was surprised when she saw you were still here so late.
C: Oh yeah?
Me: Yep. I told her you were still here because if you went out in the rain you would melt.
C: I wish I had a poison dart I could throw at you.
Protein really does make you feel full.
Weird.
I kept smelling Pizza Hut during my run today. I think my sub-conscious is trying to tell me something.
Today a woman told me I looked good for my age.
I’m 24.
