Hummus

Ok but that wasn't really a lie. The running shoes are on their way and with a gym membership in my hand (not actually because it's all electronic now. they scan my fingerprint ooooh!) i'm ready to really hit the ground running. i went today annnnd i forgot to stretch so i have a feeling i'll be feeling it tomorrow if you know what i mean. unfortunately my roommate made cake brownies and i may have had three too many (sigh) so that probably didn't help too much. but at least i got all that cardio in, right? counts for something.
dallas was awesome. evidence?

Right after seeing "The Hereafter." Real knee slapper, let me tell ya.

Even though the doctors visits weren't ALL good news, some of it was good. Most of the things i was worried about are now being fixed, already fixed, or on their way to being fixed. With all that behind me, I got to focus on helping my mom out and spending some quality time with the fam. My mom just got knee surgery and the kids were less than helpful, so i did what i could for her. Thinking back on it I probably could have done more, but i guess anything is better than nothing. We watched Veronica Mars together, went shopping, ate out, cleaned up a bit, and laid on her amazing bed.

is this real? who BUYS this stuff? 

I left Monday evening in a flurry of panic. I had Mi Cocina fajitas precariously resting on top of Atlas Shrugged which was resting precariously on top of some hot chocolate mix. Regardless and exhausted I got on the plane. I slept half of the flight, which was a blessing, since a storm was coming in and I think there was some turbulence. And even though i miss my family right now, i'll see them on tuesday anyway. Which is only one week away, which is nice. Also, Mary and Mark will be there, which is always a blast. Then its back to Utah and tests tests tests projects insanity finals finals Paris. Where i will hopefully find some Nutella in glass jars. My mom said all she could find was plastic. WHAT? My friend Ludwig says in Germany there's still Nutella in glass jars, but he'd have to ship it and there's those shipping costs and blah blah blah and as students neither of us is wealthy so that's a dead end.
Harry Potter midnight showing coming up in like 48 hours. Get excited.

Went halloween shopping with Cait a few weeks ago. Really?

And last but not least, on a walk a few weeks ago, this is what the town looked like. Not bad, not bad. But getting bleaker by the day. I'm not complaining for now, but when it gets to be the dead of winter... I'll only have my warm memories to hold onto.
