Hanger Mouth

Today is the first day of 2010 that I literally have, "hanger mouth" - as my dearest darlingest roomie calls it. Hanger Mouth is that smile you get when you literally. can't. stop. smiling. The only thing that could wipe the smile off my face right now is if I got hit by a car..again. But that's highly unlikely, because getting hit by 3 cars in one week is just a ridiculous and altogether silly idea. And even then I probably would STILL smile because in that case I would officially hold the record in my friends for getting hit by the most cars. And I love records.
So because I do NOT having a broken ankle - as Chris and I convinced Colin and Dave..<3 April Fools day! - and I no longer have a moldy, soggy floor...and my knees/shins/ankles aren't killing me and because I keep thinking it's Saturday when really it's FRIDAY - today is nothing short than awesome. On a scale of 1 to unicorn, it would easily be dragon. Fire breathing, flying dragon. With glitter. And cake.
It's absolutely gorgeous out, and I mean stunning. Anya and I describe days like this as, "ice coffee day." I went for a 45 mile cycle with Kip this morning which was sick, he really pushed my pace even though I was really sore from my 3 workouts yesterday. But I did wall-sits yesterday and my ass hurts so much I can barely sit down. Much less cycle it up a hill...but I did it, somehow.
Only when the weather is perfect like this do I realize how many people go to BU. Where did all these people come from??? It's ridiculous how many people come out of their little caves/holes and make their way to the beach. It reminds me why I fell in love with the school in the first place - it was certainly not because of the torrential downpours and insane umbrella destroying wind.
And for some reason whenever the temperature is above 55 and it's sunny I feel the need to say hi to EVERYONE - even when it's not even moderately appropriate. Like I just said hi and waved to a random guy I hooked up with at a Pike party last year - COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE KATIE. But the sun is my personal LSD so blame it on the drugs.
And the past 24 hours have been just nothing short of, well...hanger mouth worthy. For future reference, a sure-fire way to know I'm in an ecstatic mood is if you find me listening to Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra. And I am- right now actually. They're just feel good songs. If you want to be turned on listen to "Fever" by Michael.
That's all for now, time to go meet my favorite girls in the world for dinner

love love love

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...
