scones, skating, swimming…Sunday
“When she was just a girl / she expected the world / but it flew away from her reach / so she ran away in her sleep / dreamed of paradise // … // So lying underneath those stormy skies / she said / I know the sun must set to rise”
—Coldplay, Paradise…I want this CD!
“Interests and activities: talking to people about Jesus; and baton-twirling.”
—yes this is real but I cannot name the source
Oh creepy dreams…so hard to escape or shake. I have strong and weird beliefs in dreams (like, sleeping-nighttime-dreams, duh) so this makes it even harder. Very powerful and present dreams yesterday. What is this Universe trying to tell me?
To make a website for ants?!?!! (JK.)
Also hard to shake: stewing, anger. Time to give up and let go. You won’t get what you want from everyone – how long will it take me to learn this? – all you can manage is yourself.
Anyway. UGHHHHHHHH annoyed. ANNOYED!!!

Blond 13-year-old boy, lacing up hockey skates: “Hey Annie.”
Red-haired 13-year-old girl, also lacing up hockey skates (‘Annie’): “Hey.”
Boy: “I just ate at Fat Lorenzo’s, a medium pizza, a salad with mozzarella, AND gelato!”
Annie: “You are ALL that?!”
Boy: “No, I shared the pizza. My grandpa’s in town and every time he’s here he takes us to Fat Lorenzo’s.”
Annie: “Cool.”
Boy: “So you here to play pickup?”
Annie (in a ‘duh’ voice): “Uhhh, yeah…it’s kind of the whole reason I came here…”
Boy: “I like your pink laces.”
Annie: “Thanks.”
Other 13-year-old boy: “Annie, you can get me purple tape for my birthday. Hear that? Purple tape.”
Annie: “OK…got it. Purple tape.”
Other boy: “PURPLE tape!”
Annie: “Got it!”
Other boy, to Boy 1: “Jordan, why aren’t you talking to me, bro.”
*silence*
Other boy: “Why aren’t you talking to me, Jordan?”
Boy 1 (Jordan): “You know why.”
Other boy: “No, I don’t, unless you tell me.”
Jordan: “You know what you did, so I’m not going to tell you.”
Other boy: “No, I don’t.”
^ this actually happened. At Pearl Park on Sunday. Oh 13-year-olds. Oh City Kids. Oh LIFE.

I had a most lovely Sunday filled with: making a new scone recipes (thanks EatLiveRun!, as always), doing a lot of cooking/week food-prep stuff (sorry, I actually do like this…), SKATING with Jeff, working on Valentines, watched some Shameless and went swimming! GREAT, great day!!!
I also learned new things this weekend:
-learned how to do a new inversion in yoga on Saturday thanks to instructor Angela T. She was great!
-I also tried some new weird poses/binds in yoga…yeah Level 2/yeah Angela T for encouraging challenges/yeah men who try it and I decide to prove that a lady can do it, toooooo!/yeah! Birds of paradise or whatever it is.
-I was a great skater on Sunday despite having not skated for awhile…kind of getting great, really striding like a real hockey skater, woo hoo!
-I think that’s it but those things were pretty terrific. YEAH!
Sat: level 2 yoga.
Sun: Skating then swimming.
Tonight: gymnastics(!) after a loooooong hiatus…
Tomorrow: row and/or lift
Then I will probably rest Weds, or Friday. My body will DEMAND it, anyway.
I had a much better update in me but this is what you get. I am annoyed and plan to work off some frustration in the gym if possible. Grrrrr!
