Summer Sizzles

Summer is here and I felt like it was time for some short recaps on things you missed! I’m not even going to try to explain where I have been the past month or so. Life was a little overwhelming and I have had lots going on with parents coming to visit… work… dating… friends… the list goes on and on. I just didn’t seemed to have the time to sit down and write.

Mr. Facebook Update
Anyway, Mr. Facebook and I have been doing well. We have been enjoying each others company and have been just going with the flow. From playing football in the park, baseball games, concerts, hanging out with friends, festivals and random movie nights… we have been keeping it rather low key. However, He has officially meet my parents! What?!? Hold up how did I jump from, “we are keeping it rather low key” to “oh and by the way, he meet my parents” haha? Well…I figure since they really never make their way up here he might not have the opportunity to meet them for awhile if he didn’t meet them then. I think I was more nervous then he was because my parents are a pretty good judge of character, I know their opinions really matter to me. Overall meeting my parents ended up being a really good thing. So we will see what happens when I meet his parents sometime. hum…

I think I’m really starting to grow fond of Mr. Facebook and find myself building up real feelings for him. It has been a little tough because I’m scared of being hurt again so I trying very hard to guard my heart. But I can’t complain, I’m really happy where things are right now and I am excited to see where they lead.

Should I Sell My Oil Paintings?
Lately, I have gotten back into my oil paints and I’m finding I miss painting with them a ton. In the last couple weeks I have painted two different paintings, which I’m even more fond of because my skill set has actually started to improve. Painting has now become this moment in time where I can escape to another place for a little while and really get my mind of things. So here is what I’m thinking, maybe I will start a website for my oil paintings and try to sell them online. What do you think? It would be a great way to make a little extra money and plus it would give me a purpose for painting. I have seriously run out of wall space!

20 Mile Bike Ride
You might find this crazy but just recently I went on this 20 mile random bike ride to BRipple. Totally out of the blue but my bike is fixed now, thanks to my dad! I’m so grateful he fixed it when he was up here. Now I can ride whenever I want! However, I wouldn’t recommend riding a bike 20 miles without pads on your biking shorts. I was so sore afterward.

Fall Marathon Training
I believe training starts soon for the fall marathon I’m planning to do in November. I’ve been back and forth about wanting to do it, but I really think I should. Plus because of my foot I didn’t run a half in the spring and I kind of feel blah now because I missed out on it. So wish me luck, here goes to another summer of running!

My Wish List
I don’t know if you have seen Maid of Honor or not but I’m obsessed with this really unique gold necklace Michelle Monaghan (playing the character, Hannah) wore in the movie. I absolutely love it and today I found out the designer was Zoë Chicco !!! I’m so happy I found it because it was driving me crazy looking for it in the stores just hoping to run across it. The mixed circle necklace will be one of those things I keep on my wish list!

Laundry
Seriously, I should be doing some of that right now. blah. But I think I will go to bed instead. So with that, I will say goodnight… it is way past my bedtime.
