Post Secrets

-Sometimes I eat two desserts. Most times I eat two desserts. Sometimes I lie and say I didn't. Most times I lie and say I didn't.
-I miss my brothers more than I could probably express and I get so mad at my older brother when he doesn't say hi to me or call me or check up on me. It means the world to me when he texts me and I wish I could tell him.
-I'm OCD when it comes to cleaning. I clean my room at least once a day.
-I feel absolutely worthless if I don't work out
-I heard some one call another girl a dyke today and I've never been so pissed off in my life. The word is disgusting, unnecessary, rude, and should never be used.
-I doodle ridiculously in my notebook and got yelled at once by my professor...I still doodle.
-I wish I could be a wedding planner and be satisfied with myself just doing that, but I know my mom would be disappointed I didn't do something "professional" with my life.
-Nerdy is sexy.
-I started doing my hair differently now because of a fictional vampire in a book.
-I hate pink.
-I get really annoyed when I'm with another person and they constantly look at their phone or are texting. Yet I know I do it too.
-If I could do one thing in the world it would be to kayak around the world <- inspired by the book "A Boat in our Baggage"
-I wish I could pull off a cute babydoll dress like short people but I always just look ridiculous in them.
-I hate when guys wear briefs and I don't even know why
-I LOVE random acts of kindness. Like when Al left a note on my door or when JB gives me a random present.
-I don't think my week would be complete without breakfasts with B and I even get up hours earlier than I have to just to eat a bowl of cereal with her.
-Even though we're still broken up, I still wear the ring
-I'm absolutely 100% addicted to dining hall granola
-Zebra cakes bring me back to my childhood
-I'm in love with my best guy friend
-I hate that I'm bad at math because I actually really like it
-I've never felt like I fully fit in in my city until I came to Boston
-I buy things just because they're green even if I don't need it
-Sex is the Ashton Martin Vanquish in silver
-I count down the seconds to the landing when flying in planes
-The best compliment I've ever received was from a guy at petsmart who said I had kind eyes and a sweet smile
-I'm not scared of snakes or spiders
-Key Lime Lust is my favorite scent

Stop Shoulding all over yourself

Yesterday I went on Cor Jesu's Vivare "young alumni" retreat. My friend from high school Katie posted it on my wall a few weeks ago and tagged a couple other CJ sisters to the post and it struck my interest. I haven't done a single thing with CJ since I graduated and somewhere between moving to Boston and joining the triathlon team my Catholic past was put on the backburner. I figured I had nothing to lose except a Saturday and at the very least I'd get to hang out with my friends so I signed up and sent in my $25 without much thought.  I've never been the most devout Catholic. Most times in church I'm scanning the crowd for familiar faces, zoning out, and making Target lists- and that's if I go at all. Sunday is usually run-day...or ski day. Or sleep in day. Or study day. Or vacuum day. Whatever day it is...it's rarely church day. Despite being raised by two Catholic parents, going to a Catholic grade school and a Catholic high school, going o...

A Near Miss

I may have spoken too soon when I said that Kirkwood library was my spot. Here I am comfortably doing my speech-pathology work when out of nowhere: We took the square route of this and put it here and here and put it there and there.  My ears tuned in and I raised my head. I sniffed the air and suspiciously scanned the area. Yep. Math. Immediately I broke out in a sweat. Hands started shaking. Eyes twitched. Jaw clenched and neck twisted. Vomit literally came up my esophagus. Pavlov conditioning in it's purest form.  So this times this gives you this and this times this gives you that.  Focus, Katie. Hmm....a 2 year old with hearing loss who is struggling with some final consonant deletion, some stopping of fricatives, some devoicing? Now that, I am good at.... Now do you see inside your parenthesis that there is a difference of squares? No I don't see, lady. That past is long behind me and I'm never going back.  Right now I'm transcribing, identifying ...

First mountain bike ride = SUCCESS! Rex and I rode 18 miles this morning. We did the Logan river trail for about 14 then we rode around town stopping into some bike shops looking at pedals and mountain biking shoes. It'll be a few weeks before I actually buy a pair but I want to get an idea of what's out there - just like road cycling, clipless pedals change everything. With regular pedals, the rider can only get movement forward by pushing down. With clipless pedals, the rider's foot is attached to the bike so you can push down and pull up, which makes climbing and accelerating completely different. I absolutely love my pedals on Mr. Mac so Rex should have a pair, too. The ride was awesome though. The thing I like about mountain biking is that it's a nice blend between trail running and road cycling. You get to the distance of cycling but you get to be close with nature like you do running. It's absolutely perfect. I even had my very first crash today! I w...
