and you / you keep on waiting / for the sun to come around

last night i told nick i was going to atlanta on thursday. "wow, you haven't been there in forever," he said sarcastically.

i am looking forward to the weekend. despite the fact that i was just in atlanta a month ago, i am already again feeling the need to get away, the need for a mini-vacation. to forget about work and moving and money for a few days.

ah. i let the little things stress me out.

yesterday was pretty relaxing. i watched baseball while eating cheesecake factory leftovers. i picked becca up at the airport, which was unfortunate because i had to drive all that way, but it wasn't so bad when i turned the stereo up, and now i have someone who owes me a ride to hobby on thursday. i ran, on the treadmill because of the heat, and more slowly than usual because i was tired. but i ran for 40 minutes, which is a good long run, and especially miraculous because i really hate the treadmill and can usually only stand to stay on for 20 minutes max before abandoning it for something else. i much prefer to run outside, but it was just too hot.

after running i came home, talked to nick, and looked through the entire new ikea catalog. (side note: this morning on the radio, the winner of a name-that-movie contest won everything on a random page of the new catalog. the random page turned out to be page 49, which consisted of an entire living room's worth of furniture. i am so jealous. not because i need the furniture, but simply because i adore ikea.)

such is my life.

i am sunburned. sheesh. good thing i bought some aloe gel the last time. damn my fair skin.
