Yes it is that time of year yet again, again, and again. You might think i am speaking of the little Holiday known as Christmas, but no, what i am referring to is "engagement time" again. It has come in bundles this year. Sporadic ones at the beginning. Then there was the August bunch (about 10 friends) all got engaged in a time span of about 2-3 weeks...then there is my best friend who got the question popped about 3 weeks ago (and i am now officially the maid of honor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then this week there was about 3 other people i know and am friends with who have accepted to take the plunge. its kind of funny how it happens that way. it just always happens to other people. two of my good friends have found great guys to be with and i am so happy for them (and i had a part in one of those)....but when is it my turn? I love being and living the life i do and i am not in any rush for anything, but i wonder if its even in the cards for me. we shall see. EVERYTHING happens for a reason.
On that note, i wonder what the reason is for this stupid thing i accidentally did, that "happened" to me just a short 30 minutes ago. While i was away on vacation i left my mother in charge of watering my plants and getting the mail and all that fun house stuff. well, she likes to organize and arrange everything. in her effort to "tidy up" she decided to place my george forman grill and my toaster inside the oven as opposed to on the counter. great idea i thought, now i dont have to look at it, and all i have to do is remember to take them out when i turn the oven on....that had been working fine until circa 1030 today when i turned the oven on to put in a quiche. yes i forgot to take the toaster and grill out and when i decided to go put the quiche in the oven because by that moment it was hot enough, i encountered a strange "plasticky" smell as well as some smoke coming from the oven. I now have a very misshappen toaster and a george foreman grill that may or may not work. we'll see. NOT to forget to mention the nice burn on my arm from the things that go inside the oven (the metal things that you place your pans on when cooking stuff). i am a genius. so again, i have to think, everything happens for a reason, but why this? if it develops, ill let you know.
Other things that have been on my mind are the following:
1) i
need a puppy - so because i just dotn have the heart to have on in my condo with no place to run, i would have to have it at my mom's all the time. so, i am going to go to this pet adoption extravaganza today and see if i fall in love and one falls in love with me.
2) if you are a kid that has doubts about whether to believe in Santa or not -----it is very easy to google and find out. Thats so sad. i want to believe. i wish i stil believed.
3) girl talk --- i was at work yesterday and my coworker asked --- do runners always talk about each other???? i was like ---- are you a girl? do you not know the code? i mean there is always drama, and its in girls nature to talk about everyone. I just said --- if you are with people that are talking about other people that you run with or are friends with, then you know what, just humor them, but dont say or agree with anything. its what i try to do. that way, you arent bad mouthing. you know? why is it that we do this? my coworker said --- is it because they are competitive? and that completely made me think ---yes. it defintely is. be fast, get faster, get skinnier, get a boyfriend, get married, have kids first....girls think like that and maybe its a jealousy thing...or a competitive thing, but i guess maybe thats a reason why girls sometimes talk about other girls. THAT and sometimes, some chicks dont make the best decisions about attire. i am guilty of making fun for that. i admit it. every girl does.
4) the best ideas, come in the shower --- yes they do, i have had some wonderful ideas on how to test depreciation (i am a dork) but that really happened and i am going to put my ideas to work in the next few months, and how to manage my staff, and how to get organized, and just a slew of other things...but i think the shower is a great place to get great ideas. i know totally dorky, but just think --- in the shower, you are relaxxed, in your element, alone with your thoughts and getting ready for the day --- a perfect oasis.
Great stuff that has happened:
-my friend's husband is in remission!!!!
-it snowed last week~!
Bad stuff that has happened:
-my manager's mom has a few days left --- she has cancer, and my prayers are with her.
-i have a cold, ill take it compared to the above -- i think it is a result of the ever changing weather pattern that we are encountering in this part of the world lately.
-a 29 year old runner passed away during the dallas white rock marathon --- so hard during this time of year.
well i know that it has been a while but i will post more regularly now since i am getting back into the swing of things and getting back in shape. so for all those that were awaiting a post from me, here it is. i hope you enjoyed dipping into my thoughts for a bit.
my work outs and lots on my trip are soon to come. so stay tuned :)
My burn hurts!
