Thanks, sunshine.

Momma Nature is being nice to Washingtonians this month and giving us some very pretty spring sunshine... which makes many people happier. Now that I actually look okay enough to wear a tank top in public, I can actually enjoy my spring/summer to the absolute fullest (for the first time in 11 years)! Warmth/heat: I welcome you.

My next adventure will be a camping trip in the middle of May. I'm so excited. It's going to be my childhood best friend (Nadean), her boyfriend (Brian), her boyfriends best friend Ryan (him and I went on a date last night. just a simple side note), and a bunch of their other friends. I think Nadean and I will be the only girls, too!! haha! Which I am insanely happy with, because girls are drama, and Nadean and I are extremely drama free. Especially since her and I are practically sisters and get along beautifully. And we both have tomboy tendencies, so we want to do all those "guy things". Ryan had this big mofo Quad he's going to bring, so that will be bad ass. We'll also be fishing, bungee jumping, hiking, and drinking (of course). I love camping. This is going to be so much fun. AH! I'M SO EXCITED! This will be the first time I go with a bunch of friends and no parents.... so that's cool. We're also going to go to Portland for a night so we can hit the clubs.... Ah, it's going to be such a good weekend. :)

In other news, all I've really been doing is running more and more. My half marathon is in 65 days, and I need to kick up the milage I'm running. I've only been running 6 miles a day, and I HAVE to start running 8. (Half Marathons are 13.2 miles) When you train for it, you only practice running the actual distance maybe... once. I really don't want to. Haha! The first time I run that far WILL be the day of the event. Which is fine. Everyone who has run these before say if I can run 8 miles, then I'll be just fine. It's 99% mental power, and I'm pretty good at focusing. So it'll be wonderful.
I'm only worried about one thing. I still have 20 pounds to lose, and turning 21 is definitely a set back. I need to stop letting it be an excuse to eat all the carbs I've been eating. And I can totally drink less. Well, I can either drink less or drink white wine (which has five calories for 8oz, which is pretty good).. but I really should avoid it altogether. But to be realistic- I'm not going to avoid it. I just don't have to drink it every time I go out! :)


Oh, update on guy things... Erik and I are friends (I bluntly called him a man whore and told him I just want to be his friend. He responded surprisingly well.) Had a date with Ryan last night (he just got accepted into the Coast Guard- ah, I can't stay away from military men, huh?), and I'm suppose to be going on another date with this guy Kevin who looks like a personal trainer, but I have no idea what he does. We have two mutual friends, we met at a party, and that's all I got. I kinda feel like a player, but everything is extremely casual and not a big deal in the slightest. So. Cool.


Wow, I've been rambling hardcore.

It's been awhile since I've blogged, so I guess I'm just letting it all out.

I guess.

AH IT'S SO PRETTY OUTSIDE!

We have three huge cherry blossom trees, and they look spectacular. The flowers are starting to fall off, which is dusting everything in the neighborhood pink, haha! But no one cares, because it's pretty. :) Happy sun!

I wish I could play the piano.
I think if I knew how to play it, I would be good at it. haha, but who knows that?! :)


So, here are two more pics of vegas (kinda). The one with me in plaid is mia and i being gangster on our way to the airport :) and the other one of of me outside The Venetian! I'll slowly be posting more and more pics if you fancy to see them. :)


2 love notes:

That's because military men are often of higher quality than your usual man whores. In my experience, anyways.

Much of the time I feel like assaulting and then strangling most guys. So I know whatcha mean....

Stacy!

I just wanted to pop in and say my little brother was in Seattle a couple weeks ago, and he mentioned having sunshine. At least, it was implied anyway, because he said he got a good picture of Mt. Reineer (I know I butchered the spelling on that, haha).

BTW, I dunno if you keep up with my emails, but the guy I currently have with me is from Washington. Other side, though--Spokane area.

Miss you; have a nice day!
