i want to wake up where you are, i won’t say anything at all.
it’s the simple things: i love today.
- woke up early to sunshine
- went to cha for a latte & reading time (steve jobs biography)
- snatched a $80 pullover for $10
- longest (1.5 mile) run around the neighbourhood since i stress fractured both of my calves
- drove to pops for sodas with my sister
- took a siesta with my puppy
- and now i’m getting ready for a castle/hot tub date.
bye xxxx
the sun’s well on its way, too soon to know
i’ve spent this-evening: watching new girl, drinking excessive amounts of tazo zen tea, working on a philosophy thesis, twirling around in my new little black dress, baking a lasagna, reading the steve jobs biography, trying to fight off another headache, nursing my permanently sore throat.
i have shared an unnamed disease with my granny from birth, and quite honestly, it’s just exhausting. it makes me sick to fuss about such things as i am so blessed to have access to the medications and doctors that have kept me living a relatively normal life for the last nineteen years, for such things i am forever indebted. yet sometimes, it gets the better of me and i am left feeling a bit hopeless. this is one of those times.
my little oliver sleeping soundly next to me is the sweetest. i love him something terrible. off to read until sleep.
xxxxx.
I woke up, and wished that I was dead
with an aching in my head
I lay motionless in bed
I thought of you and where you’d gone
and let the world spin madly on
and everything that I said I’d do,
like make the world brand new
and take the time for you,
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
and the world spins madly on
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
the whole world is moving and I’m standing still
webcam of where i was yesterday, with little to no snow on the ground, now.
instead of being snowed in up in the rockies, i’m back to fighting severe allergies and classes in oklahoma city.
time to re-evaluate life.
twenty-three days, and this is where i’ll be. climbing the foothills of the rockies to spend a few days enveloped in them, with only coffee, a fireplace, chilly october mornings and nights in unfamiliar, lonely bars, days spent running and getting lost on deadman mountain, all with cameras other than my iphone. i need it, all of it. i need out of this place.
anyway; i’m still here. still breathing. still struggling with the idea of placing any bit of my life out for the public eye (aside from twitter). still awaiting the end of the nba lockout and the new iphone on tuesday. still snuggling up with my puppy every chance i get. still drinking entirely too much coffee.
focusing on running, eating healthy, friends, my studies, new found love of yoga, finding other sources to get my basketball fix from, and love.
xxxxxxx
aside from still struggling to recover from a strain of strep throat that has left my tonsils raw and the rest of my body exhausted, recently life has been really good to me.
things i am loving with my whole heart lately:
- starbucks’ steamed lemonade + tazo refresh tea
- my amazing group of coworkers that continue to make me look ahead to my longest of work days
- doctors that respect my minimal knowledge on medications and how my body handles them
- my new marc by marc jacobs bag
- spending time with jamie
- catching three jack’s mannequin shows already this year
- friends that stick around, even if i am so horrible at keeping in touch with being so busy- thank you for being so wonderful
- sally hansen cheetah nail strips / american apparel neon polish
- nanny-ing the most adorable identical twins and their sweet brother
- looking forward to a fall break trip to colorado with my father
- having working air conditioning in my car
- being so booked that i don’t have time to do inessential things (ex. hang out on tumblr)

we’re living in a den of thieves, rummaging for answers in the pages
good mornings look like this:
- woke up early to sunshine, not my alarm clock
- walk with oliver
- cool shower
- picked up sbux
- went to the gym
- ran 6 miles, easy / without my knee flaring up / on the track the entire time!
- back home to relax and get a few things done until work tonight
but really:
- i really want an instax 210
- regina spektor is so lovely
- i need the ocean
- i miss my early morning texts from bear, every morning
- all i ever want to eat is waffles
- my puppy really is the sweetest
- i make too many lists.
summer on the mind all the time.
Sometimes, I have a raging desire to dig a hole so grand and so deep in this damn mountain and fill it with so many explosives it bursts into tiny pebbles. It’s a selfish wish, and one I dismiss quite quickly every time it comes to mind, but it took someone I loved more than most everything I have ever encountered. It is reasonable for my soul to hold some anger towards it, right? I am only a human being.
But like I said, that thought dies quickly, and is replaced with wanting to spend quite a long time living out of a tent next to a waterfall on Mount Washington. And after that, travel (without an airplane) to Brazil for the World Cup, live in New Zealand, get married in TOMS, hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail, jump out of planes, and everything we ever dreamed about doing.
