Feelin' hot, hot hot!

Have you checked the weather lately??  It's been hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk.  Or on my forehead maybe.  All I know is it's been too damn hot the past few days.  Even now at 10:15 at night it's still in the mid twenties.  Blah!

P.S. - 3 more sleeps until I fly home!

Well...

I'm officially 26.  Another day older, another year older.

Not too much has been happening since I last posted.  A couple of my co-workers are on a softball team, so I've watched a couple of their games this week.  Last night after the game we went out for dinner with some of the other players.  It was super fun!

Tonight I'm going out for dinner with another co-worker.  

On Wednesday Kenny took me out for dinner and gave me a gift card to get some proper running/walking shoes.  

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

A little of this and a little of that

Nothing like a little retail therapy to cheer a newly single girl up.

Look what came home with me today!



I've been on the search for some chocolate brown flip flops and finally found some today at Winners. It was a glorious moment when I spotted them hidden among the rest of the unwanted summer footwear. And they were my size! And even better was the price tag...$9.99! Woo hoo!!

P.S. - with the craptasticness that was today I completely forgot to update you...7 days! (and if you have to ask, you clearly need to get with the program).

I can see clearly now...

and it appears I'm looking a little more on the single side of things these days.

If only I could figure it out...

The last few days I've been feeling really edgy.  Like I can't get to something fast enough, but there isn't actually anything I'm working towards.  I do things but can't get through them quickly enough, no matter what it is.  And I'm working so fast that I'm making mistakes, which just makes things worse.  I just want to run and run and run until I can't run anymore.  I feel like there's something happening, but it's just beyond the horizon.  I can't see it but I know it's there.

I thought all of the pieces of my life were falling into place, but not so much.

Blah!

I'm hungry but don't want to make anything.
I'm edgy and need to burn off some energy, but it's too dark to go for a walk alone.
I want to do something but I'm in a bad mood.
And I need a hug, but I'm all alone.

Poor me...

T.O. here I come!

I'll be flying in for Shanyn and Jody's wedding.  Get in really late on Thursday the 27th and fly out Tuesday the 1st.  

Short but sweet.

Huh...just like me! : D

On Speaking Your Mind...

"At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves."

-Merideth Grey, Grey's Anatomy

On Giving Thanks...

"Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate."

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Ok, so yesterday I did something that was possibly the best and worst thing I've ever done. I'm sure in a few days I'll only think it's the best thing, but right now I'm in a little bit of pain.

Hot Boy and I went to Shannon Falls to hike. Shannon Falls is probably one of the most amazing places I've ever been.

We hiked to the top of this!




View from the top, isn't it amazing?



Proof that I actually did it!



Proof that Hot Boy does indeed exist!


Happy Canada Day!
