waking jonas is dealing with that outfit.

life goals

after some goading from mr. a, i’ve compiled a list of simple life goals.

• travel to ireland, and see the countryside. buy a huge wool sweater
• buy a tiny car. i hate parking in seattle. preferably a mini, will settle for honda fit.
• learn swedish.
• have a large kitchen. moving into a condo with a larger kitchen in march!
• own a pomeranian.
• publish a chapbook of my lame, lame poetry.
• write the third installment of my family’s history in tahuya. my great great great grandma wrote Tales from a Tahuya Log, and then my great aunt wrote Tales from a Tahuya Log: Second Growth. i was supposed to write the third one. i kinda wish i’d gotten started on that before grandma died.
• have at least one kid. probably two. definitely not three.
• get and maintain a bonsai tree. like a good one, and not the crappy one i killed three years ago.
• road trip down to california to see my sister before she graduates from college. seems easy enough, though it never seems to happen.
• have a garden that includes a japanese maple tree.
• visit new york, san francisco, miami, and chicago. that way i feel like i’ve been to all the corners. i’m excluding los angeles, i’ve already been there.
• own a tessa rhododendron. it exists! my grandma had one.
• grow my hair out as long as it was in kindergarten. halfway down my back.
• take a massage therapy class.

that’s it for now because it is time for bed. i’ll probably add more to this later, because it is really fun. i will cross them out as i go, and try to get as many as i can. i’d love to see others’ life goal lists if you’re willing to share them. thanks for the idea mr. a!

EDIT:: my great great great grandmother’s book is only available through my aunt helen. i also might be able to get some copies. i’m not sure though, i’ll look into it. that is, if anyone is interested. more info here.

Is Chicago a corner?

You look better with short hair …

the fifth corner duh, =)

you did see me with long hair didn’t you, it is pretty massive.

Indeed. How could I forget the freshman XC days … whatever happend to that girl anyway?

that’s a good question. she’s retired to a fairweather jogger, mostly concerned about keeping her earbuds from falling out of her ears.

are you still running?

Running has been dictated mostly by my place of residence. In Hawaii and Salt Lake I was in fairly decent shape because it was just too awesome not to run as well as this summer at the lake. LA & DC were terrible. And currently the Minnesota winter is the ultimate deterent, bleh. So its an on-and-off affair …
