Is there a reason all weekends are not three-day weekends?  (Or more?)  Is there a reason they don't all include what this last weekend did?  Some of the best parts of life and summer seemed to come together in the last three days and make me feel ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/07/07/or-maybe-this-is-all-the-pie-talking/ Though it's hard to believe because, you know, the sun is just barely beginning to rise, I'm already up and happy about it.  Really happy, in fact.  On the verge of annoying happy, actually.  It's true, and someone may slap me for it before the day is done. I don't have ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/07/02/one-for-the-books/ Multiple choice: Yesterday during a barbecue at my aunt and uncle's home, I a) ate too many Doritos, b) actually understood what my genius cousins (mechanical engineer and some-other-kind of engineer) were saying, c) walked around their huge backyard, reminiscing about my childhood summers spent there and tried not to think about ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/06/30/together-we-can-convince-my-mother-the-internet-is-way-cool/ I have a friend trying to make a decision. In fact, she's already made it. The way I see it, she made it a while ago, but she's putting off the actual action. It's one of those difficult things in life, like quitting a job or a ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/06/26/ripping-off-the-band-aid/ An IM conversation between my sister and me. Me: Did mom tell you about her new phone? Sister:  No, what is it? Me:  I don't know, but she's very excited about it. Sister:  Why?  Because it's not held together with tape and a rubber band. Me:  Ha!  Well, probably that.  But it has a camera.  ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/06/25/very-bad-children/ I feel like I have about a billion things to accomplish today. I tossed and turned most of the night thinking about them-- who needs sleep when there's worrying and planning to do, right? So I woke up every thirty minutes or so half annoyed that I couldn't ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/06/24/is-throwing-up-on-someones-tractor-considered-an-insult/ Would it even sound believable if I'd said in the last 48 hours I've both worn tall, uncomfortable heels (though I did love the dress) and watched ballroom dancing until very late into the evening and worn jeans, drank beer and watched a baseball game? The weekend did feel very ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/06/23/in-the-difficult-times-maybe-ill-just-walk-around-my-house-in-heels-saying-paso-double/ This last week has been rough. And no, not illness or death or tragedy rough, just life rough. The truth is, some parts of life have been tough for a while now and while it didn't do much to me at first, it's starting to have an effect ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/06/19/good-thing-the-phone-has-a-camera/ So right now I'm sitting at the airport and oh, how I wish I could tell you it's because I've finally had enough of it all and I left work this evening and drove straight here and bought a ticket on the next flight to Anywhere.  Sadly, and maybe moreso for ... http://justrunjustlivejustbe.com/2008/06/18/apparently-i-struggle-with-all-forms-of-travel/
