unexpected and impromptu

the nice thing about being a student and mostly enrolled in online classes is that my schedule is pretty flexible and allows for impromptu activities. i value these opportunities because i know that these days are limited. soon enough i will be done with school and looking for employment…
the other day i was able to [...]

i did it.

well, Jesus and i did. with a wonderful hubby by my side and lots of encouragement from some great friends. I ran the the Hudson Mohawk Marathon this year. yup, 26.2 miles. Originally the goal was to qualify for the Boston Marathon but as the date sneaked up on me my goal slowly changed to [...]

down the drain

every contact wearer’s worse nightmare…watching your very last contact get lost in the abyss of drainage. especially if you are a runner AND this happens right before a run. a long one at that. right before it happened i was thinking: “man, this is my last contact, it would really bite if i lost it.” [...]

the horn honker

sure…i guess at times it can be flattering to be honked or whistled at. but more than anything else, it’s annoying to me unless you are a good friend and trying to say hi or get my attention. i probably feel so strongly because when i attended Bob Jones University girls got honked at ALL [...]

filter this

i have a friend who is very compassionate and understanding of other people. How do i mean this? this friend is able to see people through a filter and understand the core reason why one behaves and acts the way they do. they have a genuine interest to try to understand why someone is behaving [...]

without a crisis

July 29th would have been my dad’s 66th Birthday. there is not a day that goes by that i don’t miss him. Five years ago this August my dad lost his battle with lung cancer after struggling with it for a year. My dad was a smoker. he smoked all of his life. it was [...]

indecisive

me in one word, unfortunately. im very indecisive. i want to do everything and everything sounds good. When asked to do something i sincerely respond with “i don’t know, what would you like to do?” or “sure.” Not because i don’t know my own mind, but if i know what you want to do, it [...]

typical

i have all these serious blogs jostling around in my head but because my time is consumed with required thoughts for written assignments on exciting things such as the Psychopathological model, they are pushed aside and i humor myself with writing about more of the ridiculous. Which is what this post is all about. Well, [...]

my own personal comedian

My hubby is pretty funny. true story. last night we spent some much needed time just enjoying each other’s company unplanned, chilling on the couch doing what we both needed to do and side by side. Sometimes i forget how comfortable and easy it is to be with my hubby and i need nights like [...]

zombie alert

it’s 3:33am and i can’t sleep. that’s a chronic problem with me. im not sure why, could be multiple reasons:

Brain won’t stop thinking (too bad it’s not like that during normal waking hours)

Shoulder is throbbing (im trying not to consume ibuprofen like chewable vitamin C)

The camp of chirping (high volume) birds (all 5million…ok [...]
