Hip Hip... HOORAY!!!

Need I say why I'm hooraying? Yes!!! I am very excited about our Next President! I woke up this morning.. feeling the threshhold of change upon us. It was a good feeling. Other than that.. I'm feeling exhausted today.. my body feels exhausted and stiff.... my run last nite was tough. I did it.. mile and half.. but it was different than previous weeks. I'm not giving up... I just need to keep an eye on my body.. (TRUST me my body is getting smaller.. not by leaps and bounds but I can tell) and make sure I'm doing this correctly.. I have to remember the last time I ran everyday.. I was 22.. now i'm 33... 11 years is a big difference with regard to endurance and healing.

regardless.. I still have lots to be happy about... so with that said.. onto 3 things 2 things:

3 things that make me happy:
1. I put on this skirt that just a month ago.. fit me fine.. and today when I put it on...it felt a bit bigger on me!!! Oh my gosh... I wanted to jump for joy!! I feel my body.. my arms and tummy area.. getting smaller. SUCH a good feeling!!!
2. SO cute.. Peter has a picture of Pez taped to the dashboard of his pick up truck. Pez and Peter have had a love hate relationship with each other.. so It is so cute that he has her picture there.. it makes me happy.
3. I am totally falling in love with Sigur Ros - an icelandic band that I know has been around forever.. but I have been listening to their music a bit. it's Etheric.. and romantic.. touching.. and intimate...
4. WATCH THIS.... Are you ready to be touched? Thru my FAVORITE Photographer I have come across a wedding videographer that is making me SWOON... Watch this video , the first time I watched it i sat there and cried... it is SO amazing.. Deep Breath and let me know (or shoot.. let THEM know) what you think!!! (And of course the song is Sigur Ros). So you KNOW i would LOVE for them to do something similar for Peter and I next September.. but alas... it's all about the benjamins (translate: Money)

2 things I look forward to today:
1. Running.. Like I said.. not going to stop.. just gotta take it easy.
2. Laying on the couch like a bug on a rug - catching up on my recorded TV shows.

2 long term things I look forward to:
1. Sunday going to the farmers market and HOPEFULLY they will have flowers!!! I miss having flowers in the house.
2. I really want to dive into a good book... Have any ideas? (Kyra?) Might spend a while doing some "stolen reading" this weekend at Barnes and Noble

1 person I am going to appreciate:
John McCain - I thought his speech last nite to conceed the nomination was really well said.. I wished he would have had that kind of passion during the campaign.. he might have had a bigger chance...I'm SURE that had to be hard to say.. to face. But I think he said it wonderfully.. Bravo Mr. McCain. I think we underestimate Passion..Passion can't be proven.. it's FELT. I think we FELT Obamas passion.. hence.. the outcome we have today!

Prancing into the day.
Much Love,
