when i make a goal for myself, i kind of like to decimate it. i like to beat the goal to a pulp just to prove i can. i don't think that's necessarily a good thing. but i've been really running a lot lately to try and meet my new year's goal of running 1000 miles in 2007. except that i realized that if i ran over 20 miles per week, i could decimate that goal, and i've been trying to. i knew my mileage was not so hot this week so today i went out and ran 11 miles. it was really kind of nice, because it was so much easier than it used to be when i'd run longer distances. i'm faster and stronger, which makes it much more enjoyable. plus, i loaded up my ipod with podcasts which made everything go much faster. i really like relevant magazine's weekly podcast. and i've been listening to the scrubs weekly podcast a lot lately too. that show is so funny.
what was not nice about running today, or doing anything outside lately, is that the world is a big pile of fog, mist, slush, and mud. when i got back from running, i was filthy. when i walked emmy today, she ended up with mud droplets over every inch of her lower self. gross. and it makes me feel gloomy, sometimes, and like my life is stuck in a rut. but what i think is actually stuck in a rut is THE WEATHER. so what it all comes down to is, i am so ready for spring. or at least daylight savings, which is coming way early this year! victory.
brad and i are supposed to go and eat a very delicious meal at the mustard seed tonight with friends like autumn and ross and christy, which i am very excited about. i love going out to eat. and here's how i plan on spending my saturday otherwise:
1. reading. i don't have anything super exciting and new to read right now, so i may be rereading "anne of the island". anne of green gables grows up and goes to college. then she marries gilbert blythe and gets married and he becomes a doctor and she raises six children in a very charming early twentieth century canadian community. but all of that takes course over eight books. today she'll just go to college.
2. lounging and semi-napping on the couch.
3. watching episodes from veronica mars, season one. the best season in my opinion. it's such a good show!
4. watching chocoholic weekend shows on the food network. i think i'm going to make molten chocolate cakes this week.
as you can see, i've got a very busy day ahead of me, so i have to get to it.

you said anne marries gilbert blythe and then gets married...anne doesn't marry someone else does she? that hussy! j/k hussy free.
sorry i pointed out your typo. does that count as a typo? typos are like when you mis-key. I think that was more of an oversight. Why am i writing about this? Is this obnoxious?
oh, you're right - the first time i said married, i meant to say engaged. she's hussy-free...although she does get proposed to a lot. do you think that if we lived in the olden days we would have gotten proposed to by lots of people? because i don't think they really dated and talked about things the way we do now. so it was like, go to three barn dances with someone, then propose. she was always getting proposed to by people she either didn't know or didn't like.
