no hard decisions until you’re 29?
“And since she’s 5, she doesn’t have to make any hard decisions yet.” / “I don’t have to make any hard decisions for 24 years…til I’m 29.”
—Isabella, 1/21/12…basically, she’s right, as we all agreed!
“Heaven help me / For the way I am / Save me from these evil deeds / before I get them done / I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand / But I keep livin’ this day like the next will never come”
—Fiona Apple, Criminal
“Hard like geometry, and trigonometry / this is crazy psychology”
—will.i.am, The Hardest Ever…sorry, this line just cracks me up
time 9:31 pm feeling both content and unsettled…somehow wearing ballerina clothes reading Infinite Jest…sort of music pop music!!! + now Fiona Apple ready for staying up and watching ‘Friends’ next bah, probably go to bed
UMN meet with Isabella and her family was a huge success! Of course. Diana and I walked in just as the meet was starting and as we were taking our seats, saw Isabella in her Gopher gear waving her arms like CRAZY…how could we miss her?! HA! Spent the rest of the meet with her, her mom and dad, and her brother. All adorable and totally awesome. Highlights include: her constantly tapping Diana’s shoulder to ask a question, showing off our earrings (yes we dressed up for the occasion…ha), her telling us we looked ‘different’ (Diana pulls her hair back ‘does this help??’ LOL), her/her brother singing along to Florence and the Machine and Colbie Calliat, her brother following the meet with interest and for numbers purposes (Yeah!!), her parents who were also way into the meet and way cool (duh!), and talking about how gymnasts ‘get right back up and try again!’. Also tallying up the sparkles on the leotards and how ‘more sparkles is better’. Nonhighlights include: Michigan’s total splatfest, the girl tearing her Achilles on double arabian, and UMN’s inability to beat even a totally-falling-apart Michigan. OOPS. A great night!
Yesterday was also more hot yoga with Jeff. LOVE IT. Thanks Jeff!
Today was another taking-it-questionably-too-far in the physical activity department day. This happens, duh. Rowing (beat my record!), followed by interval running (take that, PCL sucka) followed by lifting. (No swimming for some reason, thanks UMN.) I came home and was totally wiped out. But like I’ve said…sometimes I can’t stop my body and it does what it does. ADDICTED TO ENDORPHINS, etc.
OTHER THINGS:
– Today I also did an awful lot of food-making/bread-making/etc. Lovely Sunday!
– Jeff discovered that a logo he made is on the Skyrim box. REALLY cool. YEAH JEFF!
– Erik made a request that we call and/or visit anytime. So I called him to discuss chili, Jazzercise, drawing, and Republican candidates. After Jeff had already called him to discuss chili hamburgers and chili in the summer. Chili chili chili.
– Clearly we ate chili for dinner.
– I accidentally locked myself in the bathroom today. I don’t even know why I locked it. But when I called out HELP!, Jeff just laughed an evil laugh (before eventually setting me free). Hmmmmmmm….
– I feel fairly confident that 2012 is like 2004, except in the favor of DEMS (in terms of White House). HOLLA! I declared this fact to a few people at work Friday. Obviously I’ve got a bit too much swagger…
“Where’s my f-ing clap / where’s my encore?!”
VOILA! / “Wha-lah!” / OUT! HBD Katie D!
