I'm BAACCKK!!!!

Runs

Wine Country Half Marathon this Sunday in Dundee/Carlton. Excited and scared at the same time. My body's telling me something, I'll listen to it after the race. =) Portland Marathon in 1.5 months - AHH!!! Jess, we are crazy! But I love us for trying! I'm still recruiting 1 or 2 for the training group for next year's marathon. Any takers?

Birthday Wish List

Toms - gray and/or red, sewing machine, a Brandon Roy jersey, massages, pedicures, and prayers for life-love-passion-adventure-all around a blessed year

Current Obsessions

Day old pastries - only $1.50 at Jim and Patties and they taste great! I say the older the better, until you see mold. What a great way to save money and still eat.

Croissants - the freshly baked ones. Only $1.50 at the cafe in my building. I feel the pounds packing already.

Office snack drawers - first week at office and my drawer is jam packed. Bummer I only get to indulge in it 3 days a week.

Toms shoes - read Blake Mycoskie's Costco bio the other day. What an amazing entrepreneur! I'm impressed and would like to bandwagon the success now. Gray or red?

Teams

Beavers Football!!!!!! VS. TCU tomorrow 4:45pm, ESPN. Yeah I don't have cable so I'm not even going to pretend like I'll be watching. I'll probably catch the tail end at Big Al's or something. I will have espn.com coverage that I will be checking regularly

Blazers 2010-2011 Season - RIP CITY UPRISE! Its going to be a great season, I feel it already. Just need to get a new jersey and I'm ready to go!

Saw Aldridge yesterday at Freddy's. He asked me if I was a doctor or nurse because I brought him a whiteboard to sign. I like to stand out and obviously I stuck out like a sore thumb with the board; I realize that.

Books

Say Goodbye to Powerless Christianity by Che Ahn. Very encouraged by the miraculous testimonies.

Songs

Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade and Secrets by One Republic

Shows

Ellen is back on 9/13 and Glee on 9/20. Don't know the exact dates of my other shows but who cares. I don't even catch them on TV anymore - all hulu.

Works

Started my new job this week. Its going to be one heck of a busy-exciting-overwhelming-productive-learning-passionate work year. I think I will enjoy being the Portland Metro VISTA Volunteer Coordinator for one year. Ask me again next month to see if I say the same thing then =)
