tiny bubbles, man, tiny bubbles

i never knew until late in life that peeps were edible. i believe that my mom recycled them each year, like easter grass and the odd uneaten jellybean (you had to be careful what you bit into at my  house on easter morning) we threw them at each other! now i know that peeps are actually soft and pliable for like the first 8 minutes they are out of the package.  i also never ate the bunny faces of my chocolate easter rabbits. there were 2 or 3 in the freezer all year long because maybe i thought keeping them frozen in the dark was less cruel and confusing to their chocolate bunny consciousnesses than biting off their ears like my brother did.

this always makes me laugh!

word to your bunny

all right! woo hooo! no more eye gouging for me! time to settle in now and rewatch the eddie izzard stand up show i tivo’d…. i love him!

so… i’ve got a lot of irons in the fire.

  • working working working
  • begin training for both the VB RnR 1/2  and WDW 1/2 marathons – later this year
  • recording podcast segments for MGW!
  • rowing!race52.jpg
  • learning all about injectables for a possible business venture
  • trying to get this space up and running as well as other projects of that nature

 …and then there’s the whole personal life thing. ahhhh so much work to do so little time, right? i had a profile on match.com (you can figure out that link yourself!!), but i had to get that off there. i am just no good at the “set up”, blind date kind of deals. if you have a chemistry on line, or over the phone, it is just way to easy to chat and talk and develop a certain kind of intimacy before you’ve even met face to face. usually i have this odd feeling of relief if i meet someone and they are – let’s say, less than?? the profile suggested, in whatever way, then i relax and become – at least momentarily- fabulous! i seem to do a lot of nice guys liking me and me not handling it directly enough because i don’t want to be mean….  you’d think after like 25 years of dating i just might have this one figured out by now.

 and on the 1/2 marathon training tip, i did my first “long” walk/jog/crawl saturday. i haven’t ever been a regular runner, but i have tried to train for a couple of 5ks and once, a sincerely misguided “turkey trot” 10k – it was literally 10 degrees, though sunny, in beautiful valparaiso, indiana and i pretty much ran the whole thing all by myself – however i swear to sweet baby jesus that i passed people and there were people behind me. suddenly, when the end of the race was in sight, some 8 year old went all rosie ruiz on my ass and whizzed pass me at the last minute. i came in second from last. this time i will take no prisoners.
