Living the Dream

Today has been such a good day, so far!

Went for a run around City Park. I'm not fast, but I feel less out of breath and am slowly inching to longer runs. Given that my first run was a 10 min jog 4 weeks ago, I'm psyched!

I studied at a cafe for a bit then got to take some friends (and the baby formerly known as smudge!) to the airport. I love playing with that little baby! He laughs when I come in the room and then proceeds to pull out my curls. I stop him before he puts my hair in his mouth, though. A-dorable!

I forgot to mention: I am done with 2 of my classes! I just have 2 little papers, left. Hard to believe.

Okay, are you ready for the indulgence? I bought a book today. A novel! Wait, maybe I should say, "The Federal Loan Division of the U.S. Government bought a book today." (Oooh, bookstores are so dangerous. You can dress me up but you can't take me anywhere! Now I remember why I don't let myself go into any bookstore ... except occassionally to Goodwill's back section with 10 cent used books.) I just ... it was ... I just love books! And, this is embarrassing, I bought it because of its cover (G'ah! I totally judged a book by its cover. ) It was minimalist, outdoorsy and winter-looking. Small. Written by someone from Massachusetts. Had a shiny little "Pulitzer Prize Winner" sticker. I couldn't resist. Behold the little gem:


As I had heard nothing of it before buying it on a whim, I checked out the review. I'm saving it as my snuggle-up-with-a-good-book on Thanksgiving.


P.S. Even the Indonesian government remembered the Jews, unlike Colorado, apparently.

The baby formerly known as smudge

Okay, last post was depressing, but such is my life these days. And it's my bloggie, so I'm allowed to write how I feel. I do feel better after getting that out...

but

...on a happier note, I just was lucky enough to spend a few minutes with my friend's baby, who I shall call The Baby Formerly Known As Smudge. I love this little baby so so much! I'm not related by blood, so you have to believe me when I say this little baby is the mostest cutest bestest good mannered-est lovable-est baby in the world. It's true. He is. We hugged, we laughed, we hiccuped (okay, just TBFKAS, not me). We realized the world is not such a bad place after all.
