Halloween Things

  • Tonight I should really be editing more videos. The deadline is fast approaching Monday or Tuesday? I’m not sure. But it’s coming up fast. 
  • But its Halloween and my roomie just texted me to tell me that the squirrels completely destroyed my pumpkin and she caught them in the act and had to toss it out. Tragic. Oh well. At least Halloween is here and nearly over so it doesn’t really matter any more.
  • So in consolation she proposed a night of candy, wine and Hocus Pocus! 
  • I’m in. I have a good portion of the day Saturday to edit…and basically all of Sunday too. I can bang those bad boys out in an hour and a half each, if I put my mind to it. After all, “The ultimate inspiration is the deadline” (My mother got me a paperweight with that on it when I was in college. I used to be a procrastinator. Working with daily deadlines has pretty much killed that in me.)
  • At some point I really need to run. I haven’t run since Monday and I’m feeling a little itchy about that. I think some speed work is in store for tonight! Just a mile but it hurts so good.

Happy Hallo-weenie friends! 

Tumblr, HELP!!

I need a quick and easy (and cheap) costume for a Halloween party tomorrow night!

What should I be?

My friends suggested Katniss Everdeen or a pirate (since I have the long dark hair)

I don’t want to spend a lot of money (read: any really) so any creative, homemade items that you could come up with would be amazing!

Thanks friends!

Hey Jealousy

In terms of problems, mine are pretty typical “first-world problems.” I’m a very lucky girl and need to remember that. But sometimes, its easy to forget and get stuck in my own little world.

Case and point: I have 2 best friends, one is married-has been for 6 years now. The other started dating her boyfriend in February. It was around the same time that I started dating my recent ex. This guy is pretty much perfect for her and the other BFF and I are fairly sure they will end up together. This weekend, he told her that he was falling in love with her.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m super happy for them. He makes her happy and ‘gets’ her. But, deep down, I’m sad. I’m lonely. I haven’t dated anyone since my ex and I broke up at the end of June. Part of that was a self-imposed marathon training break. To be honest, I used it as a way to guard my heart I think. “Oh, I’m too busy right now to date anyone.” When really, no one was asking me out. No one was beating down my door to take me on a date.

And now? Now the marathon is over and I’m still alone. I’m alone as I write this. My roommate has gone out to a town hall meeting on China. (Did I mention that my roomie is a Nebraska State Senator? She’s a good friend of mine and used to be in the TV News biz.) Its pretty cool! And its fine. I like my alone time. Especially after a long day at work where there is constant noise. But there is a difference between a roomie and a boyfriend. And I miss having that.

First world problems.

In other news, I’m finding it hard to adhere to a running schedule when I don’t have anything to train for. My next race for sure is the Lincoln Half Marathon in May and training for that won’t begin until January. I’m still running, just not as many miles.

Friday night I went to a couple of Halloween parties. I went as a Marathon runner. (a stretch, I know!) and I was chatting with a friend of mine who does the same job I do at the other TV station in town. She’s a runner too, has actually run several full marathons. But she just gets me, ya know? Its true that runners love to talk about running; we talked about running for a long time. She even told me she reads my blog! (Hi Amber! 🙂 ) That totally made my day! To know that someone I know in real life that I really like and respect reads and enjoys this blog was pretty cool to learn. I need to be better about updating!

Anywho, that’s all I have for now. Everyone on the east coast, please stay safe!

Have a great week friends!
