musical by osmosis, it will happen

wow, it has been a while. it has been a long time since i took a day for myself.

this morning i woke up after the sun, which is SO refreshing to do. i did some laundry and picked up around the house; my house, yes, i own a house. i went to amelie's, only the best french bakery in town, and treated myself to some delicious coffee and an oversized chocolate tart with raspberry goodness on top. yum. my next stop was paper skyscraper. i actually purchased christmas cards already. i have this weird love for buying cards. i'm not quite sure when that love came about in my life, but it is there nonetheless. i just realized all my sentences are starting with "i".

since it was nearly impossible to miss that today, mid-november mind you, was in the mid to upper 70's, i decided to go for a run. probably about 5 minutes after i started running i got this ridiculously sharp pain in my left abdomen, so my run turned into a walk. i tried to venture toward our neighborhood's sports complex, but couldn't find it. odd. there where signs pointing in the general vicinity, but no building. perhaps i didn't look hard enough. this led me to believe that a neighborhood who, intentionally or not, makes their sports complex difficult to find must not value fit residents. maybe that is why they created so many sidewalks, to deter sports complex users to the outdoor elements for recreational enjoyment. shame on sports complex developers, or sign posters.

following my run, i took a long shower, did this new fun thing with my hair (that i learned on youtube, yes, youtube), and went to see my friends jacob early and jessie parker show of their talents. i have really talented, musical friends. it makes for great entertainment. it also makes me realize that i missed the music bandwagon. perhaps i should have stuck with that clarinet instead of dropping band in my junior year of high school. the director tried to make us wear these horrendous marching uniforms and force us to march and all football games. those uniforms had bad news written all over them. now, i simply watch my musical friends instead of join them.

i wonder if after chad and i are married i may become musical by osmosis. they do say you become "one" after marriage, right? i shall remain hopeful.
