As of late, I have been listening to country music. More like pop/country. But still.
Whenever I am not feeling so great I like to purchase items from itunes. Not shoes or clothes but music. It is kind of a weird habit of mine. Last week I purchased the new Lady Antebellum album, Need You Now, and it is amazing!
Something about country music relaxes me. I think there is a little country girl living inside of me. But that is okay with me. She can stay.
In other news I am stuck at home with strep throat. How boring. I have been unproductive for the past two days! I have no energy and eating/drinking totally sucks what is left of the energy that is already lacking. Today I sat on the couch and did absolutely nothing. So if you were wondering how my running ambitions have been going, they have not, for obvious reasons. Hopefully training can resume next week.
I need to focus on getting rid of this illness. Antibiotics were started today and is only a 5 day course. Minor side effect- loose stools. They weren't lying, that's for sure.

26.21875 miles
I have decided that my new goal is to run a marathon. And in case you did not know, a marathon consists of 26.2 miles (26.21875 miles to be exact).
The internet has been a wonderful source as to how training should occur. I am currently following this guide.
26 weeks. 26 miles. Challenge accepted! Stay tuned as I update on my progress (or lack thereof).
Ready? Set. RUN.

emotions
I am currently trying to study for my bio lab final that is tomorrow. That is obviously not happening.
Going back to a previous post, it was mentioned that when watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, I cry.
This show is hardly watched because-
a) I don't like crying and
b) I feel like a wuss
Thus, I spend my time with shows that are not so stimulating to the brain (ex: Keeping Up with the Kardashians). In fact, I am pretty sure brain cells have been lost by the end of the episode.
Watching people show their true emotions on television (and real life) goes straight to my heart. I can't take it. Something just breaks down inside of me and the tears start to well in my eyes.
Love. So much love. Words cannot be heard but the expressions on their face give it all away. (Just in case you were wondering but you probably already knew, YES, this made me cry.)

Ten
1. I hate socks. More specifically, I hate wearing socks at home. Socks make me feel confined. My Mom loves to lecture about how not wearing socks on a cold surface can (and will) lead to varicose veins. Thanks for the advice, Mom, but I went to nursing school.
2. I am easily bored with my hair. The current plan is to grow it out. Bleh.
3. Trash television is my favorite. Some of my favorite shows include The Hills, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, etc.
4. Extreme Home Makeover makes me cry. Every. Single. Time.
5. I have a love/hate relationship with running. There is nothing like a good run. I do not have a destination or goal. I just run, to run. The problem is after forty five minutes (or even sooner when I interval train), flatulence and indigestion sets in. Does anybody else have this issue? It just makes me want to run... straight to the bathroom! So here's a tip- don't run behind me. You have been warned.
6. I love getting into a car after it has been sitting in the sun for a couple of hours. The hotter the better. Leather seats? Bonus points. Cold weather is not my friend.
7. Top three celebrities I would do
1) Gabriel Aubry
2) Ryan Reynolds
3) David Beckham
... in no particular order.
8. Lent 2010. No dairy. What a horrible thing to give up. There is dairy in everything!
9. I have a tattoo. It all started last year during my 23rd birthday weekend in Vegas. The night before we headed to Vegas, we joked about how we should get tattoos IN Vegas to make it one hell of a trip. I got the tattoo a couple weeks after I got back from Vegas. Worst two minutes of my life. The tattoo says "hope lives" in Greek. It reminds me that whatever is happening in my life, that the hope that lives in me will never die. This hope is what keeps me going. Our trip to Vegas wasn't too bad either. It is still referred to as THE Vegas trip.
10. As a teenager I dreamed of being 24. So here is to my 24th year. I have a feeling it is going to be a good one. :)

Jennifer's 23rd Bdaeg
On February 4, 2010, a (moisty) star was born. Jennifer Mariano is one of the greatest friends you can ever have. One of her best qualities is her ability to listen. When a decision needs to be made I go to her for honest, straightforward advice. Jennifer, if i ever go on a game show and I can call a friend for help, it would be you. Happy birthday dear friend.
Don't forget to follow her here, here, and here!
