Baking- Pretzels and No-bake Cookies with Lil' Momma

Wearing- My new husky sweatshirt! It was a late birthday present/early Christmas present from my aunt and uncle

Watching- all the documentaries and movies I haven't had time for this last quarter. The list includes: Restrepo, The Box, Green Zone, The Cove, The Lottery, Fair Game, and Taxi to the Dark Side

Enjoying- the smell of my new candle, a quiet house, and a day off of this 40 hour work schedule!

Looking forward to- starting my marathon training for June 2011...it begins with shoe shopping of course. Also, Canon Beach after Christmas with the Villellas and hopefully a New Year's celebration up in Seattle with Finn.

Fly Away

This is how I cope with things I don't like... whether it's that conversation I don't want to have or that feeling I want to avoid:

I run.
I go to France, I move to Seattle, I stop returning texts, I make travel plans, I change the subject, I busy myself with other things.
I'm good at running.

And it's because running is easier than facing myself or what I'm afraid of.

2011 Montpellier Application, here I come.

Currently listening to Coming Home by Diddy

pablo neruda

Oh love is a journey,
with water and stars,
with drowning air and storms of flour,
Love is a clash of lightnings,
two bodies subdued by one honey

Currently listening to Sparks by Coldplay
