Today was what one might call a whirlwind. It was never ending, and mind boggling in many ways. It began with a dead phone. How is this so, you might ask? A dead phone means no alarm clock in this particular situation. No alarm clock means waking up five minutes before you were supposed to be leaving the house, headed downtown.
Woah, let me backtrack. Sorry, my friend. This morning, I participated in the Race for the Cure 5k Run/Walk in downtown Little Rock. Thousands and thousands of people from all over came to run (or walk) in this oh-so-very pink affair. Very pink. The money raised by the race goes towards breast cancer research. So, despite a late arousal and rushed preparation, I made it to the race, and did it with my friend Chloe! We had so much fun. We had planned on running in it, but we were so thickly surrounded by walkers that that didn't quite happen. Oh well! It was an amazing experience. Totally awesome. And I'm still seeing pink.
After the race, my dad and I went out to lunch with Chloe and her dad, which was lovely. I had a sesame chicken salad. Oh my. Not only is it a salad, but it's a delicious one. And not only is this salad delicious, but it's also gluten-free! What's not to love?
From there, my whole family headed out to watch Christian's football game. Once we got there, we realized that the games were all behind, and ended up watching an entire other game before Christian's even started. Christian played hard, but their team didn't manage to pull out a win this time. Three long...long hours later, we left and headed home. Lots. Of. Sitting. At least now I can say I've done a marathon (of some sort) , though, huh?
You are probably figuring that my day started winding up about then. Well, let me be the one to tell you that that idea is entirely false. Wrong.
After football, I went shopping with my Eli friend. She...is so wonderful. We always have so much to talk about, and add shopping into the mix....wow. Good times. We both got some great stuff, too. You know, in all the time we'd been friends, I'm pretty sure today was the first time that we've ever gone to the mall together. Crazy, huh? It was really great though. She's the greatest, really. Eli- you are fabulous.
Nope. Still not done. Last stop- Tim's house. I always love going there- the whole family is so great and we always have lots of fun, often watching Chuck or some movie...yes. It's always a good time. Tonight, dinner was ready when I arrived. I had salad and a burger, minus everything but the patty. Haha. It was quite delicious! Tim's mom always makes me the best food. Pasta, chicken, salads...ahh. She's so sweet to me. After dinner, Gracie, Tim, and I watched a couple of episodes of Chuck (Look it up. Great show. No lie.) and just hung out. Yup. It was a night that made me smile.
Which brings me to...right now. I'm sitting in the laundry room/office, trying to decide whether I should head to bed now or not. I probably should, considering that I have church in the morning...but then again...agh. I've never been one to make decisions. I at least want to brush my teeth. For anyone randomly wanting to know something random about me... I always brush my teeth as soon as possible after a run. Always. Not that I just ran. My brain just works like that. In a swirly manner, that is. But yes, running leaves my mouth feeling pretty weird. Quite unpleasant, frankly.
Well, I should stop babbling before I hit the point of no return. Thanks for reading about my crazy, silly, wonderful life.
