Hans Zimmer's song lives in my head

Today was a better day, I think. I say I think because who knows? They're still some time before bed. I got some shit done, had some laughs, made some other people laugh.

The desert's middle fingers

I have this theory. I think that it's so fucking hot in the desert that the saguaro cacti (yeah, I said it) are just flipping us off out of spite. "Look at me with my juicy wet cactus insides! Stupid meatbag! Bwahahaha" That's probably why there aren't any saguaro anywhere else in the world. Yep, just us and our bitter plants.

I made it through today and only wanted to cry once. Somewhere I lost the ability to suck it up like an adult and piece it back out to the world.

God help me, everyone I know is pregnant or just had a baby. What the fuck.

My lower legs are sore. Thus I need new running shoes. And boo!

We are going to see Mike Ness this weekend. This is a spur of the moment, we are in our twenties decision. The 80 year old in me is questioning why. Shut up granny! We are living here!

It's normal to question every decision in the last 6 years, right?

Why do I pay for music still? Am I a sucka? Or, a person with integrity?

Smaller Carbon Footprint?

Um, will someone please find a significant reason as to why I cannot work from home in my robe most days? Not all days, mind you, but just most days? I'm pretty sure it's more green.

Commitment Issues

Dude, it's clear that I have commitment issues. I cannot even keep my shit together for more than a month at a time. Somewhere in between the trip to Washington and back to Arizona I lost all of the organizational skills that I used to pride myself on.

Here's the latest;

• Completed New York. Felt like I was going to die and it took everything in me to finish.
• Still running and am now swimming two or three times a week. OK, really two times a week. OK, really at least once a week.
• Started a new job. Woah.
• Started the process of getting my PMP. Woah.
• We are in the new house and it's really fucking expensive to have two houses. I don't know if you knew that, but if you didn't, you heard it here first.
• Being part of a family is hard.
• Because we are irresponsible and terrible people, we have decided to maybe possibly think about having a baby. So that's half a step past the negotiations that we've been having for the last 7 years. Keep tuned in for the next 3 years, because my god! We might actually do something about it!
• Both brothers have girlfriends and have had them for awhile. I'm still coping.
• I'm down to one brother within 25 miles and a little sad about it.
• I have discovered a love for turkey hot dogs that I never knew I had. Please don't tell Hippy, my new vegetarian and fuzzy feeling friend.
• Also new to the friends list, Fitz. He's pretty much awesome too.

Ready! Set! Go!

It's now July, the official time frame that we had discussed to start training for New York. It's suppose to hit close to 120 here this week as well, which means that we're meeting at 4:30, running at 4:45pm. Summertime is a bitch, but I'm committed now. I've purchased air tickets, and we're working on a place to stay. Plus, I've committed to Team For Kids, in order to be able to run. Go! Go! Go!

Wait, what?

I just saw some sort of commercial for some pink holiday thing where women go and get checked together, and there was something flashed across the bottom of the screen that said "Valley Ho". I think it was a novel. But still. For a second, I was pretty sure that they were trying to address their demographic as hos.

Last Comic Standing

I fricking love this show. I think it's smart, and hard, and funny when it's good, and sometimes funny when it's bad. I'm watching what I think is the first episode of the season, and I must say, I'm surprised at the number of female comedians that they have performing tonight. Even with my feminist living, there are not many female comedians that I care for, or think are truly funny. However, all of the women they had performing tonight, and I know there was at least 4, were funny. Yay!
