I decided to pull up Pandora today and name my post according to the song that came up. Bam. This was it. Imogen Heap how i love you and your beautifully haunting voice. :)
Maybe this should be the theme of my blog today. Maybe not. I'm not even exactly sure what that would mean.
So, it's been a month. I know, it's been a long time. That's my fault. But my day to day life isn't THAT interesting. I'm no longer a member at LA Fitness, but now at SNAP fitness which is nowhere near as great as LA. The machines are awful. And it's so small. But i knew that i would never go if i was still there because there are none by my house. Boo. Someday i'll go back! I paid lots of bills on time AND way over the amount they required and now it looks like i'll have my last CC and my car paid off by December! I'll really be starting 2013 off with a bang! My bills will be about $700 less than they were a year ago at that time. It'll be a very exciting time. Can't wait! I've seen a lot of friends i haven't seen in a while in the last month as well. It's refreshing to see your random friends. There isn't enough time in a day to see them all, which makes it EXTRA special when you see them.
I ran the Susan G. Komen race for the cure on Sunday and ran it in 29 minutes! I was impressed! I had to stop and walk twice, but only for short times and i thought for sure i'd get well over 30 minutes. I must have been running pretty fast if i could stop twice and STILL get a good time. Plus i don't run outside often so it's always just a little bit harder than running indoors. I went with Molly Taylor and it was a pretty fun morning, even though the race started at 7:30AM at the Mall of America! OMG. Seriously. Who RUNS that early!?!!? Whatever, Molly and I got pancakes after, so i think it was worth it. And of course, i got my free t-shirt. yay!
My father also turned 60. 60! I mean that is pretty dang old. He's lived through so much! I mean he was born in 1952! He's been through wars, peace and love, the change of african American's lives, everything. I wonder what our lives will look like when we are 60. What will we have experienced? So far it seems mostly like technology, 9/11, OJ Simpson trial (haha), the millennium change, and the Iraq war. Doesn't seem that interesting now, but maybe it will be when our kids ask us about it. I wonder if my kids will be interested in my blog when i have them. I mean i've been recording my life for years. Sure, i've only blogged for 7 years (that actually is quite a bit!) but i've also journaled a lot since I was 15. That's almost 11 years of recorded history. Hopefully within all of that i've written SOMETHING significant. Or at least something to give my kids an idea of who I was when I was young. That's important. I learn things about my mom all the time and think, wow. You are so different than you are now. Life changes you, shapes you, and sometimes someone you are friends with now won't know you in 20 years from now. Makes me want to read my 15-year-old journals....
I had my first dentist appointment in YEARS yesterday. Talk about painful and awful. Seriously people: GO TO THE DENTIST ON A REGULAR BASIS! AND FLOSS! I knew it was going to be bad. But it hurt a lot. So much that it still hurts today. I had a lot of build up from not getting a deep clean. And a lot of sensitive and inflammation in my gums. Ouchies. Lots of bleeding. Lots of cavities. but zero root canals needed and no cavities between my teeth. So it was bad and expensive, but it'll be great hopefully in 6 months when I go back and get my cavities filled and get my teeth back to normal. At least as normal as they can be. There hopefully will be a lot of flossing and good brushing in between these two appointments. The bright side is the place that I go to now has a lot of nice people which makes it easier to be there. My goal is to have almost zero bleeding when i go back. Fingers crossed. Haha.
I think that's it for now. I don't want to write TOO much, but it was nice to get all that out! I wish i had something deep and meaningful to write about. Maybe something will creep into my mind soon. At any rate, the weather is great and the lake should be wakeboard-able by this weekend! YES.
Always, A
