Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.

How to Live a Great Love Story Vol 2

your daily (andy warhol) quote

When people are ready to, they change. They never do it before then, and sometimes they die before they get around to it. You can’t make them change if they don’t want to, just like when they do want to, you can’t stop them.

Andy Warhol (Andy Warhol: In His Own Words)

Love the quote.  Love him.  Just love.

today's run

I like posting stuff about my runs because I like to imagine that you are somewhat interested in progress/daily struggles and to be honest, it makes me feel good to say that I'm still running, therefore there is a higher chance that I will continue this craziness.  So here are some things from today's run:

•  My entire body was begging me not to run but I did anyway (yay me for staying dedicated!) and ended up running past the original distance I set for myself (whoop whoop!).  Fist pump.
• Songs that I listened to and haven't heard in a hot second, yet seem to be giving me an odd sense of motivation to continue running: Bossy by Kelis and Nookie by Limp Bizkit.  I think Bossy gave some motivation because let's be honest, it's just an awesome song.  As for Nookie, I have no idea where that motivation came from except that I haven't heard it in a looooong time and it made me laugh.
• When I was done I was sweating all over, like we're talking places I didn't know could sweat.  How does that happen?  Ewww.
• After I changed clothes (into gardening clothes, I'm getting ready to weed the yard...yes, I lead a glamorous life) and thought I was somewhat dry, I get up from the couch and there's butt sweat.  Yes, butt sweat.  Awesome.  Gross times like a million.  Yuck. 
• Shins are doing OK.  They still ache a little even though the pain has gone down a lot.  And I still think it's worth it...I keep telling myself that.  

So sorry if it's a boring post folks but that's pretty much my life as of right now.  And oh yeah, I'm going to a hula hoop class with friends tonight so I shall report back tomorrow!  

donald miller is awesome...again

LOVE this article I just read on Donald Miller's blog.  Hope you love it too :)

How to live a Great Love Story

my relationship with yogurt

So here goes my relationship with yogurt...I can't stand it.  Like I think it's super yucky and is one of the few foods I won't eat.  Not appealing to me.at.all.  Anything with yogurt in the title I will steer clear of.  And apparently frozen yogurt places have been all the rage lately.  Like they're popping up all over the place and I've seen tons of blog folks talking about how they love it.  Yuck.  Frozen yogurt.  No thank you.

So you'll be surprised to know that I went to check out Tutti Frutti (a frozen yogurt shop) the other night with some of my friends after they convinced me that it was really delicious.  And let's just say...I LOVED IT!  It was wonderfully delicious!  Yum-yum-yummy!  So you begin by choosing a bowl size and then choose which frozen yogurt flavor you would like.  Ready for another surprise?  I chose french vanilla!  Say what?!  I'm a gimme chocolate or gimme death kinda gal.  French vanilla might as well register as the flavor "nothing" in my world.  But I decided that if I was going to load it up with cookie and candy bits I might as well start with a blank slate.  So then I moved on to the next station and loaded my bowl with oreo bits, chocolate chip cookie dough balls, mini m&ms, sprinkles, mini chocolate chips and maraschino cherries.  I later told my sister that it looked like a 5 year old exploded in my cup.  All of that to say I am now a frozen yogurt fan!  Like I've been craving it ever since I stepped out of the frozen yogurt shop.  It probably had crack in it or something...well maybe it was just the insane amount of sugary goodness I loaded on it.  Nonetheless I will be back again.  Mark my words.

Oh yeah, and I bought some of this at the grocery store yesterday.

 And it was deeeeeeelicious!! Yummmm!  So now I like frozen yogurt and yogurt blend ice cream but I still won't touch actual yogurt with a ten foot pole.  That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
