7,8,9 - Since it's getting cold, I don't really want to be outside as much. Great time to pick up yoga and swimming and other indoorsy sports (rock slimbing, plz.)

41, 42 Progress being made in both my savings and paying off debt.

56 Done

58 I helped Thomas change the oil in his car, maybe he'll help me do mine? I'm overdue for a change.

60 Got together with Ellen before she left for Thailand/Korea (don't remember which one). It was wonderful, we picked right back up as if it hadn't been four years since we'd seen each other. And fumbled through cooking chicken. :)

62 One <3.

88 Well, my parents bought me a fantastic pair of running shoes at a tent sale! I've been using them, they're very comfortable.

90 Done

96 I voted, and won!

98 I've been volunteering weekly with every1reads for almost a month now. I'm tutoring a second grader named LeiAisa with her reading. She's wonderful. It's challenging, but I'm really glad I'm doing it. I'll consider this goal complete when we make it to christmas break. I can see myself continuing this for a while.

Wow, it has been a while since I updated this. Here's some progress since my last post:

I ran another 5k, Champions4her, almost exactly the same time. www.champions4her.com And placed thirteenth in my age group!

Books are selling on half.com, and I have clothes set aside so that I can take their pictures.

My savings is slowly growing, and my debt is steadily being paid off.

I've been picking up the guitar every now and then. Maybe if I move it to the living room I will play it more.

There's a poem in me, somewhere.

I made a blackberry cobbler with berries from the farmers' market! It was delicious, though I didn't follow the recipe exactly. Good cold, I prefer is warm with vanilla ice cream.

One Wednesday sometime ago, Thomas and I watched the sunset from the Belvedere downtown. "It was amazing" does not even begin to describe that evening.
The following Saturday morning after work, we biked to waterfront park and watched the sunrise. With twizzlers, goldfish, and cookiew, haha. And saw kayakers and swimmers training in the Ohio river, swimming upstream! I love it, I love it all.

I recently went to Fleet Feet on Bardstown Rd. to get fitted for running shoes. Depending on the shoe, my size may be a six and a half. And my feet bend in slightly when I run. I have the model written down of the shoe I liked best, though I don't know if I can yet justify spending $90 on a pair of shoes. Perhaps when it gets cooler and I actually am running again.
