Do we live in Seattle?

April 21st, 2009

I don’t know where global warming is happening but it is not here. Actually, I take that back because each week it is really nice out on the two days I am in an office all day, and it rains the rest of the week.

This is symbolic for my whole life right now actually. Everything I do goes all wrong. It’s not major stuff but it’s so annoying. I tried to hang up a bulletin board yesterday and once I finally got the nails just right everytime I would go to hang it I would accidentally push the nails in the wall too far, leaving nothing for the holes to catch on. So I finally got it just right and about an hour later I heard something crashing. Guess what that was? Today I decided I should have used screws – those wouldn’t accidentally get pushed in. But for the love of mankind I could not get everything lined up right. I even measured. Then I realized smaller screws would be better. But guess what – now they keep getting pushed in because the holes made by the previous screws are too big. I could go on about this dilemma forever but let’s just say the stupid bulletin board is up, but there is about 7 holes in the wall.

After that I tried to assembled the matte, frame and picture of Ella I wanetd to hang. But the matte is too thick for the back of the frame to go on. I’m telling you, this is how everything has been lately.

I’m really hoping there is truly balance in the world and it means something good is going to come my way.

I was very proud of myself for going on my run today though. With all that and cramps I easily could have spent Ella’s naptime lost in bad realty TV and magazines.

But nope, did my run. I even got caught in the rain. I was worried about my iPod though, so I stopped at home, dropped it off and continued in the rain. That’s dedication don’t you think?

By the way I followed my friend’s Dawn’s advice on buying a cute new running outfit and I think it helped to bring me out of my funk. I think that might be a good reward for when I finish my 5k too! Also, I felt like my last couple runs were easier – still very challenging – but better, than the really discouraging one I posted about. I kinda forgot that running is like everything else, somedays you just have bad runs. Somedays it’s just hard and I just want to get through it. But it’s better on other days. Aaah. Shoot I hope that’s not my good thing I have coming. I want something better than that. Ha!

    Yay! I’m so proud of you for keeping up with your running. I’m glad that you got a new outfit. That always works for me, too!

    I love your blog. I just found you via delightfulblogs.com. The couch to 5K run sounds so cool– I need to find a similar program here!
