Ran one last fall. Didn’t come in last (yay!) but I discovered that running is boring as all get out, as well as painful. I prefer to walk :)

being a woman, but I don’t know why I have rejected so many of the things that women do. I want to get up early and dry my hair and put up makeup before I leave the house, instead of moisturizing in the car and dripping dry on the way to work. I want to find a fantastic skirt that goes with everything and wear it instead of pants. I want to own matching undergarments, and buy tops that are fashionable, not just sensible.

I want to be the kind of woman that has girlfriends (I have always had all male friends) and goes out and does things with them, and exchanges sappy friendship cards that say things about shopping and lipstick and men.

And I want to feel more like the grownup that my students see, and less like the awkward teenager I still have inside.

Last year I finally married my high-school sweetheart! It was the most beautiful day.

Go to Alaska! The bluest water, and the most awesome sight.

We went to the Christmas show in New York City. They were balcony seats but it was great fun!

I have gotten back into it. The pattern calls for 7 reps of 15 rows, plus repeat rows 2-11. I am only in the second rep, but it’s coming along! DH is so excited.

I sent an engagement card to my best friend from elementary school yesterday. And I took the time to write a nice note in it. It’s not a “letter” but it was more than just signing my name – that’s a start.

Okay, so I don’t actually have any knife skills. But the folks on the tv cooking shows make it look so cool, like anybody should be able to dice a tomato into perfect cubes. So I want to be able to do that too.

Got married in October and I’m still not finished. I want to get this done before my first anniversary!

I did this for a class last summer and it was a great experience. I want to restart with a new notebook and just get all these thoughts out of my head.

As I am writing this I am “watching” television. In about 5 minutes I will have to restart the program because I have absolutely no idea what’s happened so far. I want to learn to do one thing at a time to quiet my brain and to live without constant background noise.
