Hey, Hey, Hey!

According to Danielle's blog, the marathon is 16 days away! Yikes! Honestly, I'm sooooo ready to have it over with! The tapering (resting up) is underway. I must admit this is my favorite part of marathon training. (Lazy much?)

Anywho, after the crazy racing (5 1/2 hours will not be much of a "race," but whatevs), I'll be back to blogging.

What would you like to see?

More writing?

More running?

More books?

More, "My, how fantastic are YOU?"

More confessions?

More... whining because I don't live in NYC, but am really content... really. I mean it. Content.?

This is your chance to get a tailor-made blog! Readddyyyy...Go!

Today

Stolen from Keri. Thanks, Keri! I really like it when she does these. Also, Marcie yelled at me to write something, so this one's for the girls.

Outside My Window...
I hear a train. A dog. It's misty and fall and two-thirty in the morning and I feel like I'm the only one in the whole world who is still awake.

I am thinking...
Oh so much. Too much. I think I've spent a lot of years being angry at God for things that may or may not have been His fault, and I'm having a hard time a) being angry (because angry is bad, yo), b) redirecting the anger toward somebody who deserves it, and c) figuring out why I'm mad to begin with. It's a vicious cycle of crazy.

I am thankful for...
You.

From the kitchen...
Today was dollar sushi day, so my kitchen is blissfully free of dishes. This morning, though, there was coffee and bacon and blueberry pancakes.

I am wearing...
HA! If I remembered this question was here, I would have skipped this exercise. I'm wearing an outfit I won't ever let anybody see. If I was dying, I would change first. I'm wearing fuzzy slippers, yoga pants, New York t-shirt, and hoodie. It looks much worse than it sounds. That's saying something.

I am creating...
Crushed spirits via the student papers I'm grading.

I am going...
nowhere. *sigh*

I am reading...
papers mentioned above.

I am hoping...
that I don't die in this marathon.

I am hearing...
click, click, click of the keyboard.

Around the house...
socks. shoes. toys. Somebody better tell these kids... oh, wait. All this stuff is mine.

One of my favorite things...
is chai. It's fall. Actually, fall is one of my favorite things.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week...
Find sleep. Do class work before the rooster crows. Play dates. Run. Run some more. Babysit the best baby ever. Birthdays.

Hey! Long time no talk. I'm running out the door, but I wanted to let you know about the new blog on the List O' Blogs. Her name is Sarah Markley. Click over. Read her story. It's a great story.

Let's catch up soon!

Oh! Before I go, have you seen this? Isn't this just the best?
