Stick With Me Please....?

...I know I've been MIA. I won't deny it. There's no reason. I've actually started a couple of different posts and then just...exited out. I can't really explain it. But if you persevere and believe in my blogability, I thank you.

I think my 2 reasons for not blogging are:

1. I don't have anything to write.

2. I DO have something to write, but am tired just thinking about writing about it (cuz' remember, first year teaching...it truly is a demanding year).

So do I have anything to write about tonight? No. But I DO want to check in and say HOLLAAAA!

My marathon training and fundraising are going well. It's ironic that ever since signing up for a marathon I've been running less....my coach said I can't do things like go out and run 14 miles randomly. I guess there's something called overtraining. Dangit. 

As far as fundraising, I've been stressing out a little bit. So far I have about 25% of the funds, which I think is GREAT!!! But I also think that God enjoys using these moments as stretching moments and opportunities for me to draw closer to Him, realizing that it's not me who is raising this money by myself. So yeah, my prediction of the next few months is that it will come to me thinking, "eeek!" because I can't seem to raise all the money and then when I've drawn closer to God because I've been asking for His strength, He'll swoop in and be the Savior He is and will always be, and I will raise all the money I need but just barely. That's my prediction anyway....it always seems to happen that way.

I just found out today that Landmark has to make up the 3 days we had off for snow days. Which means we go until Wednesday the 17th of June, which means I have the 18th-25th of June to go to Nags Head, before I leave for my marathon in Seattle. Which means I'd have to be able to get to Nags Head from Wednesday to Wednesday which doesn't work. DANGIT 2 years in a row I've missed Nags Head. I miss it. But I can't complain too much. I'm really excited about my marathon and Team in Training and helping cure cancer. Yay. (With a little bit of "boo" on the side....)

Work is work. I have been getting SO FRUSTRATED with myself because of that whole thing where you care WAY too much what other people think of you. It has recently been taking over my life.  My mom, with her motherly wisdom, reminded me that that was the devil being like, YES I'VE GOTTEN HER!!! Well those weren't her exact words, but you get what I mean. The devil has won when I let those kind of STUPID things get to me. Ugh. 

On a much lighter (and girly) note, I've gotten into a book series. Recently I've attempted to get into the Harry Potter series and the Twilight series, but neither of them kept my interest. Turns out I'm just not a wizard/vampire kind of person. So what kind of person am I, you ask? I am a shopaholic kind of person. Yep. The shopaholic. I love her.

Tomorrow I am running 8 miles I think with the team. We are learning more about stretching. Then I am hanging out with my "little sister" and she requested that we go to the Mass Reserve trails so she can take pictures and stuff. I think that's awesome. She's a real catch, I've gotta say.

Okay well I have to say I'm proud of myself for blogging, although I have a feeling it was REALLY dry. Well, maybe I'll try for 2 in a row? We'll see. Oh and I meant to post a cartoon at the beginning of this blog because recently I feel like that's what you should do if you're a cool blogger. That or a YouTube video of you in Amsterdam or something. Welp, oh well.
