Wednesday Things

1. I'm signed up to participate in the Color Run on August 18th. I signed up for this at a time when I might have been slightly more interested in running for fun, if such a thing exists. Truth is, it's 11 days away and I'm probably going to find more excuses to not BEGIN to prepare for a 5k. Were the Color Run more of a color walk, or color stretch I think I might have a chance of being legitimately successful. Instead, you're all invited to watch my death in an array of brilliant colors! Should be fun for all, minus me, the guy who has to hurdle over my dead body, and children looking on. Please don't bring your children.

2. People are watching the Olympics getting motivated to become better athletes or athletic like or get off the couch. I too am apart of that crowd. I watch Kerry Walsh and Misty May and am determined to go to Rio in 2016. By determined I of course mean vaguely motivated and by the Olympics I mean the pool and forget what Sheknows.com just told me about Kerry Walsh's workout routine. Instead, I splash around and get my hair to look like George Washington's frock and upon realizing the water is the temperature of tepid bath water I leave feeling I've done about the same amount of work required of an Olympic athlete.

3. I love those green doors.

4. I nearly pittled when my friend showed me one of her child's toys. It's a rocking horse, made of cut aluminum cans. Nothing says fun for hours for children like razor sharp edges.

5. I cannot get enough of sweet potato chips right now. And I mean literally right now. One hand is in the bag and another typing. So good, though I heard rumor that I may regret this later. I'm like a 14 year old here, I can't begin to think about consequences when these are in front of me.

6. So then I tried to be cool and order something different at a Thai restaurant. This was the result. Stephanie ended up eating my mistake. She likes lichi. I thought lichi looked like eyeballs in juice on ice.

7. Meetings start for school today which would be fine except that I'm in the middle of trying to figure out how to go back in time to relive London. So... a job actually interrupts that process... so...

8. Actually, the list maker/planner in me is looking forward to getting back to a regular schedule. I can go overboard real quickly with that though. So... the goal, balance it all. HA!

9. Annie will probably slay me for posting this picture, but I just LOVED it too much to let it sit in my phone for my eyes only. Isn't she one of the most beautiful things you've ever seen?! love her. and Winslow's Home. and glass coke bottles. and sliding ladders. and well designed shelves. so pretty much everything about this picture.

10. My thighs still hurt after dancing to this and this  at a reception this weekend. Oddly enough though I think all that dancing may have healed my back.
