One more time.
6 Jul 2008 11:01am GMT Because I can't beat my competitive streak, and I can't stand to hear about all my friends' recent 5K fun and success (which I was not involved in), I find myself registering for another 5K. They are registering, too, from what I understand.My friends Molly and Lance are also running the half marathon again, at the same event.Looks like I'll be bringing my running gear with me to Bismarck and finding a place to run.Ugh.Thanks for reading.

Plain and simple.
5 Jul 2008 10:11pm GMT I was recently informed that someone "liked" me because I was plain and simple. It wasn't meant as an insult; I understand both that and the context of the situation. However, the words "plain" and "simple" aren't really words any woman wants to hear herself described as.Perhaps it's because, as my friend Travis informed me, all women are vain."They are. All women are vain," he said.I'm pretty sure I shot him a dirty glance (my specialty) and scathing comment at the time, but I know that I...
Parades are messed up.
5 Jul 2008 2:31pm GMT My sister-in-law commented, while we were watching the Fourth of July parade in Devils Lake yesterday, that we spend our lives telling kids to not play in the street and here we were, encouraging them to run out and get candy.I got to thinking about that."Go on. Go out there. Run out into the street. Run out into the street and get candy from strangers."That's messed up.Thanks for reading. Please consider visiting my web site for a look around.
Nicaragua Trip Journal: June 2008
5 Jul 2008 1:06am GMT ::Here are most of the pages from the journal I kept on my recent trip to Nicaragua. Some pages I did not include, and on some pages that I did include, I blurred out chunks of text I didn't wish to share with the world. Most of the comics aren't going to make a lot of sense, or be terribly funny, for anyone who wasn't on the trip or hasn't gone on such a trip in the past. However, you can look through it and get a sense of some of the things we did as a group.:: ...
Little frog, big noise.
28 Jun 2008 12:37am GMT It was such a loud croak.Elias informed us that the sound came from a small frog. And, indeed, he was right. Jennifer, Kaylee and I sorted through the branches of the tree and found the source of the loud noise. The frog was small.Jennifer poked at it with a twig, but we left it alone soon. Elias, however, met us at the front of the building and asked where the frog was. I was soon shamed into picking up the little critter, its grippy feet stuck fast to the back of my hand.I don't mind slimey...
