I miss the Right Coast. I want to be back in NY
with coworkers who are obsessed with the job, and at being the best.
with doctors who don’t perpetually run a few minutes behind
with cars that are yellow.
with beers that are 9 dollars.
with people who say ‘totally,’ ‘absolutely,’ and ‘New York Mag’ just like me.
with this boy who I like.
with public transit that RUNS on WEEKENDS and doesn’t...
Holy Mo! I'm in San Fran?!

What Your Hair Says About You
Sunday night boredom. gah.
Thrown Up in a Messy Bun Chances are, you crave glamour in the boudoir. And, says Pease, bun girls really enjoy male attention. “The neck is the most sexual part of a woman’s body, so exposing it is a subconscious way of flirting and showing you’re available,” he notes. Your ideal warm-up includes sipping drinks in a petal-strewn tub and ...
Big Mental Block about my run
Going outside. Leaving my triple-decker-quilt concoction and have 12.3 miles on the dock. WILL DO THIS> WILL. bye.
A tiny glimpse at my scheming for 2012:
This blogger who I recently found (Nicoleisbetter.com) and fell in love with has this great, nitty gritty, hilarious, OCD way to set goals for the year, beginning with some words of intention that just might center you and send you on your inspirational way.
Some stuff that I thought might help me kick the crap out of this year….my 2012 word/phrase choices:

Everyone is getting married.
Unfortunately, if they aren’t getting married they are getting engaged and if it’s for love that’s great. But is there like, this magical age when I’ll stop thinking “married, and playing house, ok, I’m in….oh WAIT holy shite you’re my age, so you’re way too young to get married?”
I can barely decide if I want peanut butter or yogurt for...
My attention span has shortened to that of a four-year old’s:
At one point today, I had three un-finished movies on the go.
There is a half-finished book in my purse, and I ran 7 miles with the setting changing about every 45 seconds.
Shiny!

Vacay day 2
Enjoying doing nothing whatever I want.
Yesterday: 4 miles. 10 min on piano. Decorated 40 Christmas cookies. Only logged in to work emails twice. Even bounced some of my work back to the main queue.
Today: Have logged in to work once, but will try not to again today. Chiropractor appointment. About an hour and a half until a full pancake lunch with some homemade Canadian maple syrup. Spent 40...

Going to San Francisco in February.
Why? Because life is short. There’s a half marathon. It was my birthday yesterday. I need to do something big. For myself. I’ve gained 9 pounds since the marathon - just over a month ago. And also I’m just not thinking like me - my focus, zeal, intensity, judgment, care have been diluted a little bit. In other areas I have gotten smart, feisty, detailed, relaxed, drunk, external....

Sometimes doing the ‘scary’ thing is the most rewarding. Celebrating with some yoga.
