Freaking Amazing Sky

I was on my way to my class a couple weeks ago. I turned the corner and had to immediately pull over.


The sky was so beautiful and crazy. I couldn't stop looking at it. I called John and made him pack up Will and the camera to take photos to document it.


It was truly one of the most beautiful things I'd ever seen. And all these other people were just driving and walking around like nothing out of the ordinary was going on. They missed out. It was lovely.

I'll announce the winner of the scarf later today!

Some Things

Today was excellent. Slept in. Cleaned the floors. Folded some laundry. Did some sewing. Ate some Thai food.

Some things that are inspiring me right now (a bit random)...













And...I'm kind of afraid to mention this...because mentioning it kind of holds me accountable, which is a good thing but also I'm really lazy and also fickle and wishy-washy. But...I think I'm going to plan to run the Santa Monica 5K again this October.

I ran it in 2006 and it was incredible. I am NOT a runner. I have hated running my entire life. Running the mile in gym at school was my worst nightmare. And, speaking of nightmares, I have them regularly about running. And yet, somehow, from like June-October of 2006 I successfully trained for a 5K and actually ran it and finished. It was weird. Something I never thought I'd do in a million years. And...I think I need to do it again.

I still hate running. And it's going to be even harder to train this time as I'm 30 pounds heavier than I was last time. But...I think I need to??? I'll change my mind as soon as I try to run even a block. But, here it is in writing. Yikes.

All you insane people who have run marathons and half-marathons lately both inspire me and make me sick.



See, here's proof that I really did it. Nuts.
