of late night runs and toaster ovens

just got back from a run with katie. as a general rule, i don't go running with other people because i find strangely that i am often better at self-motivating myself than letting others motivate me. in fact, if others try to get me going, i am apt to become stubborn, and not run just because they are telling me to run. i know, i'm weird. but it was nice to go with muh sustah.

we spent the day in durham and chapel hill with my grandmother and aunt. it was nice, and i got a free toaster oven out of the deal. ha! grandmother had one sitting in her closet that's barely ever been used. woo hoo--more stuff for my apartment.

on the drive home i listened to the counting crows new album twice, and made a semi-ordered list of my favorites: up all night, carriage, new frontier, black and blue, hard candy, american girls. order subject to change though, as i listen to the album more.
