My ex is in love with those Nikes with the spring looking heel. That and you can custom order the color and trim online. Not sure if they're for running though. She certainly gets a lot of use out of them at the gym though...

When my knee got bad, I wore ASICS to train (the gel insert in the heel was better than the air pocket in Nikes), but when I was racing, I usually raced in Nikes. They look like sportscars. ASICS look like mid-sized sedans.
pizza night was a lot of fun. though i think i'm the only one who actually enjoyed the pizza.
i bought a bunch of groceries today and yet have nothing to eat. the pesto crusted cod from tj's was

I seem to have had an amazing effect on Portland weather from what I'm told...but the grey skies may disprove that theory...
I'm also glad to see I'm not the only person who can spend a small fortune at the grocery store and still not have anything they want to eat. It's a skill really.

i get to go home in a couple of weeks for my mom's 60th birthday. my sister is putting on a big surprise dinner with all my relatives and my mom has no idea we're coming.
hopefully the boy will let me come visit him in amsterdam. i wish i understood his motives for cutting me out of his life. sure there's been some pain...

thank you
catdad:
I guess the way you call him "the boy" makes it sound like there is still something going on between you. I thought that term was usually reserved for refering to a boyfriend, not a boy friend. Maybe I haven't been keeping up with the lingo these days. In any case, if you aren't happy by yourself, you may be exuding "neediness" to others that makes them uncomfortable. That's just an idea. Sorry if it sounds harsh.
i hate my life so much.
last night i really just wanted my mom, but she's so far away. i seriously considered driving the 4 days it would take to get home.
i'm so sad.

Sorry to hear that. You've been in a funk for a while now. If you aren't seeing a therapist, you should consider it. If there's anything I can do, let me know.
obd:
I'm sorry to hear that you're sad. I agree with shaverart. One of you should get on a plane. Someimes you just need to see the family.
does that fact that i lied to my physician about my alcohol consumption imply that i have a problem?

armadillofuzz:
no. it's when you lie that you do have a problem. damn poser alchoholics piss me off.
fatdavid8:
Hahahaha. If you lie to my doctor about your alcohol consumption, then I'd say that you definitely do. 
some days i want to be cute/skinny girls, some days buff/athletic girl, some days i want to be what i am which is small/curvy girl. how do i reconcile these 3 things? really i only ever want to be the first one when i see those dumb girls switters has been hanging out with. but jeebus, they're all like 20 years old and wear way...

small curvy girl is the way to go.

I think that (at the risk of alienating you or being to forward) you should turn on all the bright lights that you have, get a glass of wine, and look (REALLY look) at yourself nude, in a full lenght mirror for about 30 minutes. If you're being a fair judge, then you will probably see that there isn't a thing wrong with you.
The twenty somethings may offer a taste of youth gone/going by to your man Switters, and maybe he just isn't with the Beatrice program; for now, or maybe forever. But don't put the heat on yourself.
Anyway...Hope that helps. Hope everything works out for you. Ciao.

nice bike

Congrats on the bike. I found a cool little cruiser that was about 40-50 years old and in need of work at a junk shop on division and it's being refurbed for me now. Very excited
Glad life's looking up.
Take care.

i just haven't felt like updating lately. still kind of don't, but i'm here at the courthouse for jury duty and they have the free wifi, so i thought i'd take advantage. it's been a shitty day. my parents were here visiting for only a day and a half and i'm spending all day in court today so i had to say goodbye to them...

Somehow I missed responding to this one. Must have gotten distracted. Yeah, you sort of had some bad karma shit going on or something. I hope things have been going better. The offer for lunch sometime (or dinner) is still out there. It's looking like I might get a couple of days off the week after next. Weekends work, too.
thunderbunny:
No good day can involve the words "jury duty," but this seems cruel and unusual. Here's hoping things improve.

How was the weekend? Did you tear out the offending molar? No, I'm sure not...but it is nice to dream

Just reading about your tooth is making me squirm. It's like i can feel it. I can't stand abnormalities in my mouth. It's the worst feeling ever!
