Misty Pitt... Sounds good!!


As many of you know, I LOVE Brad! And apparently, he loves me too! Last night I had a dream where we shared a really special kiss and he told me that later this week he is going to invite me to go hiking and we are going to ride his motorcycle!! Isn't that nice!! During our conversation, I told him that I was really happy because I am supposed to be in possession of a ginormo poster of him, (Seriously, it's HUGE! When I get it back I have to do some re-arranging so it will fit on my wall!) I said, "How embarrassing would that be if you came over and I had a bigger than life poster of you on my wall!" And then we LAUGHED AND LAUGHED! And he told me that he just got back from Africa. HOW interesting!! He was a little self-centered and ego-maniacal, but I can look past it because it's TRUE LOVE! If any of you have any questions about what he's like, don't be affraid to ask.

Is it spring break yet?

This year for my spring break I'm doing something fun! Usually I am practical and decide to work for that week, but this is probably my last spring break I'll ever get. (sad!) So Brandon and I are going to travel to the Pacific Northwest!

To start, we will probably go to Vancouver, B.C. "What are you going to do there?" you ask... Tons of fun stuff!!


We are also going to visit Seattle. I LOVE this place! Especially the market! Hopefully my Best Friend in the Whole Wide World (BFWWW) and my BFWWW-in-law will spend the day here with us too. And another Best Friend has "penciled" me in her schedule to spend the day there too. Hopefully that pencil mark will turn into an ink mark!!!!

Next on our adventures, I think, will be the Olympic National Forest. Pretty! Washington forests like this ALWAYS have giant slugs. And they gross me out every time. But I'm excited to watch out for them!



And last, but definately not least, we will see the sights of the beautiful Olympia. My goal while being here is to find a tree hug-ish shirt that says "Olympia is organic" or something like that. WHOOO! Only one point five months!!

Sad day

The day has come for me to give up sweets. Since starting grad school I have picked up the WORST eating habits!! And I heard (from a guy at a bike store) that when training for an event, you have to be careful about what you eat. So far today I ate chips and salsa for breakfast, jambalaya with buttered garlic bread for lunch, M&M's, ice cream, and a treat my mom hasn't brought back from the store yet. And it's only 6:30. I still plan on eating dinner and brownies after that. :) So after talking to that guy, I decided I should cut the sweets out of my diet until the race. BUT... I'm not fully committed to giving up my sweets yet. I'll cut them out only on weekdays. Maybe when it gets closer to the race I will cut more out. But I love them so so SO SO SO SO SSSSOOOOOO much! Stupid triathlon!
