for that 10k I ran! How exciting!!

Damn you insomnia. When are you going to let me sleep, I feel like it’s been a month of no sleep and it’s making me crazy. My laptop battery is about to die and I left my charger at work. I just hope a little Carson Dailey will put me to sleep. Perhaps a lobotomy would also help me with my sleep problems. Isn’t it silly how I spend most my evenings trying to solve the world’s problems. It really isn’t very productive and come tomorrow I will be too tired to do anything about it anyways. I kinda feel like the only sleep I have been getting is when I am so exhausted I simply pass out. I would really like to pass out right now.

oddpodz.com it’s like myspace for creatives. Kinda addicting in a good way.

A couple people told me my hair looks like Victoria Beckham’s. I don’t know if I agree, but the fact that at least two people in the world think I get my style tips from posh spice means it might be time to shake things up a bit. Any ideas? The goal here is to be a trend setter not a follower (I’m pretty sure I had my hair like this before she did, or at least before I knew she did).

I decided to be adventurous and step outside my box this weekend. We hopped into a car and drove off into the middle of nowhere. Once we got there, we were off to the show. An outdoor concert filled with cowboy hats, BBQ, Coors Light, and one random guy who walked like an old hippie and carried a parrot. We spent the evening drinking cold beer and attempting to master the two step. After the show was over, we were off to the bar. The small town wasn’t used to this much excitement and it felt as if the walls of the old buildings had to take a deep breath to expand and let us all in. We hung out for a little while, until a communication mishap caused us to believe our friends had ditched us. I looked everywhere for them, but even the truck that had drove us there was gone. Angry and confused, I waited for my remaining friend and we decided to tackle the long dark walk home. I don’t think I have ever seen a darkness like that before. We were so far from city lights and street lamps were non existent. If not for the intense saturation of stars that filled the night sky I may not have been able to distinguish where the sky ended and the rolling hills began. We made it home safe and decided to sleep outside. I passed out quickly to the sound of cows mooing. The smell of bacon and hotcakes woke me up early the next morning, and I snapped out of my sleepy slumber with a big cup of cowboy coffee. For a weekend I was a cowgirl accepted graciously into a new community and quickly felt at home with their country hospitality.

mmmmmm, nothing better then enjoying the remnants of a good bottle of wine. Especially when a majority of the bottle was shared with a good friend, good food, and an entertaining movie. We decided to be adventurous and rent a movie out of one of those red boxes at albertsons, the movie of choice was Night at the Museum . It was actually a pretty fun movie, but when I thought too hard about any one part it seemed a bit ridiculous. Good news is the red box works pretty well and is a good save for lazy people who don’t feel like making an extra stop at the movie store.
I spent last week in California on the beach. Then I spent last night in Idaho at a beach bar. It was super fun, I got to catch up with some old friends. Then today I realized why my job is absolutely fantasic, besides the obvious reasons. We have a crazy busy fall coming up and when we are crazy busy, that means the whole city feels it. I help bring this town to life, it’s a pretty sweet gig!

I think most people can feel it when one chapter of their life is over and it’s time to move on. I often wish I would have followed that gut instinct when I first returned to Boise. I guess I learned the really long hard way.

Have you ever read an astrology book. I’m not talking horoscopes, but an actual astrology book. My brother’s girlfriend loaned me one to read last week, and I must say- it nailed me.
Basically it said that sagittarious women are passionate and are often known to go into fiery rages when their integrity is questioned. They are brutally honest, but are often unaware of it. Usually when told they are brutal when they tell the truth, they will respond by saying, “I always think things through before I speak.” Many sagittarious women become spinsters in their old age, but usually find many hobbies and interests to replace men. They fall easily into love but are often timid about marriage.
good thing I don’t really believe in the stars…
