the moon and the stars were the gift you gave.

Firstly, WTF is going on with Facebook right now? I haven't checked my feed in like... an hour. I don't like this feeling.

Secondly, OH JESUS THE WEATHER. It's May 31, and it's 50 degrees F outside. I LOVE IOWA.

Thirdly, fuck the gym. Okay I take that back. FORGET I EVER SAID IT. I love me some treadmill, but after today's run... le sigh. I am an outdoor runner. For shiz.

Let's take a step back and admire today's banner pic, mmm? TOO FUNNY. If my grandma had Facebook, I'd put this on her wall. And she'd probably slap me, but we'd all get a good laugh out of it. That, I'm sure of.

I finally bought the Nike+ iPod sport kit the other day. Actually, I was last week but I couldn't figure out how to use it! I was convinced my sensor was dead out of the box, but it turns out I'm just dumb. I've been using it for the last few days and I.AM.IN.LOVE. Although it REALLY chaps my ass that the only music options are playlists, sometimes I like to set it to a particular artist and let it shuffle through the albums. But whatevs, I love playlists too. I absolutely love that it gives me information like my pacing and that my robo-chick whispers in my ear "one kilometer left" or "halfway done!" or "you burned some SERIOUS calories... congratulations!" It was a little annoying at first because I hate having a good song interrupted, but now I absolutely look forward to my little updates. I need to calibrate it BADLY, I'm almost certain I'm not running an 11 minute mile, but it's not a priority for now.

I've had a weird week at work and my food habits have gone all wonky (no worries, all good foods at appropriate portions but I'm eating at different times and my body isn't adjusting well). The scale has been consistent, nothing to report [let's think of this as good news, mmkay?].

I had an appointment with my optometrist today. Actually, the guy I had been seeing before was unavailable so I saw a new doctor and she was super cool. Six days from now marks the one year anniversary of the craziest trip of my life and I just have to say... what a ride it's been. Plus I got NEW CONTACTS. The nice person named Chris from 1800contacts that I talked to on the live chat feature today sent out a year's supply of my new contacts in exchange for the four boxes of my old prescription that I currently have in my possession, and the new ones are cheaper than my old ones so I'm getting $36 credited too! I'm not getting paid for my review of 1800contacts (but if they're reading this, I'M OPEN TO RECEIVING COMPENSATION... hahaha), but seriously, take my word for it. 1800contacts rocks my face off. Totally, completely, 100% worth it. I deal plenty with doctors and pharmacies and I can say from experience that their process is easily one of the best.

I kind of wish I had run longer today, but my left knee is feeling a little funny. But seriously though, can you believe I just typed the words "I wish I had run longer?" WTF is going on.
