bitter magnet

ok well yesterday i was supposed to run 12 miles (in preparation for the half marathon), but instead i went on a 2-hour and 15-minute hike/jog with my dad (around Fountaingrove). That place is super hilly which is why i say hike instead of walk (i personally can't jog up it). it was quite a workout...by the time we got home (around 5) i just went ahead and ate lunch right away (i was starving!). after that, i watched a couple TV shows with my parents (king of queens, everybody loves raymond) and then later this movie with julie andrews in it (one special night).

anyways, right now i finished breakfast and i feel like i just swallowed a bowling ball. i was starving when i woke up this morning, and all i ate was a cheese stick, a few rice crackers, a few rasperries, 2 mini muffins, 2 rice cakes with cream cheese & peanut butter, and a bowl of maple sugar oatmeal (with added oatbran). oh and of course then some hot chocolate. :) lol that may sound like a huge breakfast to you but that is quite normal for me. i started feeling rather full after the oatmeal. i think it's because oats and oatbran expand by quite a bit when you add water. i guess that's a good thing. it has a lot of fiber, and it keeps you from eating more.

well whatever, can't think about that now...i get to see Michael in less than 12 hours!! I'm so excited. Yeah, it will have been exactly 5 days since i last saw him, but if you knew Michael you would understand...it is difficult to stay away from him for long. he is so sweet, caring, funny, every positive characteristic you could possibly imagine (i wonder how he puts up with me sometimes!). like, he's so nice he makes me want to be a better person. plus he's really cute. what can i say, i'm a lucky gal! :)
