You can't touch it, or buy it, or wrap it up tight but it's there just the same, making sure things turn out right

Busy busy busy last month. And now it's all over. Crazy!
+went home. Fun!
+ran a half marathon.(Maybe again next year)
+new business idea
+feeling so happy and young.
-that feeling. That almost.
+challenging myself to get out of this rut and keep chugging.

It's amazing how so much can happen in just one month.

I got moves like jagger

So I was thinking about doing a gluten/dairy free month just for kicks. Then I saw a picture of mac and cheese.....boooo.....it looked so good!

In other news, my good ol' friend Kayla came to visit this weekend. And then Ms. Melis is coming later this week. I feel so popular!

Things that have been in my mind:
-new running pants
-need to go to the doctor/dentist
-getting shirts for the fambam reunion
-more travels!

You were always on my mind...

Weekend thoughts:
- A new motivator for running faster: when you're about to go running and you realize that you haven't shaved.
- I love St. Patrick's day but not for the drinking reasons. On the 18th I can go to the store and get corned beef on sale!
- Just because its my Saturday doesn't mean that the day is actually Saturday.
- House sitting spacious clean houses, would be my pleasure.

Mes rĂªves epanouis

Paris France, we win. I had such a good time and would recommend going to everyone. There is so much there that just has to be seen with your own eyes.

Here are some tips for anyone thinking about traveling there:
- go with people you can laugh with. There is lots to make fun of and it's easier if you don't have to alone. This includes yourself so pack thick skin.
- drinking games include: 1. Every time you see a statue of a person on a horse. *drink* 2. Oxidized statues *drink*
- remember you will most likely have to go down before you can go up.
- it's not hard to find people who speak English. Or when all else fails speak Spanish.
- don't let anyone touch your fingers or wrists
- take a breather on the steps of the arch de triumph and watch people dart out in the street and nearly get clipped by cars.
- just because it plugs in and works in America doesn't mean it will work in Europe. :(
- second breakfast exists in Paris. A big cup of coffee does not.
- if plans don't work out simply say, "oppsie poopsie" and move on. - blaming the people you're with for all the wrong turns works. Taking credit for all the correct turns= duh! And be sure to rub it in everyone's face. Makes for better memories. - do not. I repeat, do not visit Disneyland Paris. It will ruin Disney. Correction, it has ruined Disney.
- get cheap food and focus on desert. That's all France has going for it in the cooking department.
- lastly, all those must see places (i.e. Eiffel Tower, louvre, arch de triumph, etc) are in fact must sees.

I had a great time and can't wait for our next adventure. Even though I travelled with, "the stupidest people ever!!!!" <3

Yeah yeah, our sugar shack

Thursday I leave portland for San Jose. Friday morning we leave San Jose for San Francisco. Saturday we land in Paris! I've been fighting this retarded cold so hopefully I'll be better by Thursday. I have this massive suitcase. But I think I should fill it up because I'm going to Joe's straight from the airport.
I really don't want to pack anything and just go already. I keep wavering from packing just a couple shirts and jeans to every outfit possible. Arg! Tomboy problems.

Ok to sleep and figure out my first world problems tomorrow. But first, today I had this weird thought. What if I stayed? I was talking to my favorite volunteer today and he was talking about how his friend went backpacking in Europe for 3 months. And I said, man I wish I had nothing tying me down. And then realized, well I don't. I could just leave. I could sell my car and go. The only thing stopping me is me. Per always.

This song is not for you lovers...

I got a single rose at work today. No note. No one saw who left it.

Looks like Butter Knife Dave is finally out!! WoooooHoooo!

Let me just start off by saying, he's not a rapist you all.
