I saw my favorite employee at the running store today. We laughed about how I have a picture of my family on my debit card and how he'd like one too--not a picture of my family, but of his. I told him I'd stop coming to the running store after my race this Saturday and he said "don't say that!" Okay, I thought, I'll come back. Everyday. How will I be able to come up with excuses to go into the running store if I am no longer training for a race? As I left the store he wished me luck...twice.
I drove home, raced to put my running clothes on and started my run. I hoped it would start raining on me, and it did. I lengthened my run about 10 minutes just so I could stay in the rain a little longer. I passed a boy on a scooter and he laughed at me and made some comment about being soaked.
I finished my run, stretched, talked to Jenny on the phone and then helped myself to a d.e.l.i.c.i.o.u.s piece of bread covered with peanut butter and honey. Is there anything better? MMMMmmmm.
At the end of the night I went to Sonic to get a lemon berry real fruit slush. Do you know how many of those I've had in my life? Probably a million or more. I never get sick of them. Or maybe I just never get sick of driving to Sonic and being served by people on roller blades. The last 2 boys I dated made the comment that they had been to Sonic more times with me than they had been in their whole lives. I also made an appearance at my favorite grocery store, Macey's. I didn't buy anything I just walked around. I LOVE MACEY's (Kendall, that was for you).
Now I sit on the floor in my bedroom, listening to my newly chosen blog playlist and writing about my day. I'm also thinking about all the little good things in my life. I don't love my job, but that's only part of who I am. There are a million or more wonderful things about everyday living and I'm so grateful for that!
Oh darn, I can't find my running socks...I guess I'll have to go buy more.

Ummm, Abby..this is Hannah, your sister. I'm not sure how to break this to you, but I have never met that Thomas guy in my life. I'm pretty sure he's not your cousin. I'd be wary of him if he's convinced you of that. :)
#1 I'm glad Hannah has no idea who that guy is either. That makes me feel a little better for not knowing Joe's family.
#2 I second the "love Macey's" motion.
#3 I have tons of things I want from the running store, so if you ever need an excuse let me know
#4 I think you should have told that guy that he could one day have your family on his debit card. That would have been smooth....like butter.
Abby, Ignore Hannah and Andy and all those other naysayers. Thomas IS your cousin whether they want to admit it or not.
You've never taken me to Sonic . . . :(
Yesterday we passed by sonic and from the street Jared saw a girl on rollerblades. He was amazed! So was I. I've been to sonic twice and no one came out on rollerblades. And, so glad to know Thomas is not your cousin...I was trying to figure out why I didn't recognize him.
Jenny! Jenny! Are you listening? Come back on here and check the comments, okay? I need to know where you got that awesome, large, antiquey looking map that you gave to Abby. Please?
Thomas looks familiar. I think he could be your cousin. He's white and so are you. Don't listen to anyone else. If you want him to be your cousin, then go for it. Aren't we all related when it comes down to it?
This is Thomas, We share an Aunt, therefore making me your cousin, and Andy I'm a little offended you don't remember who I am, remember that time we did that thing together in Utah, it was uber fun. Anywho, I'm a little confused how Abby is both my cousin and my soul mate, could someone please explain that to me? See ya'll around, in two years... Bahahaha.
Hannah, I found that map at Flags and Stuff on University Ave. in Provo.
