rollin’

I had such an exceptional day that I would just like to share:

Woke up to attend a cardio kick boxing class then interviewed the instructor for school.
Then came home and wrote up the paper work and went for a run.
Then showered and went to interview the manager of the fitness club.
Then went job hunting and filled out some applications.
Then did some shopping and only spent 98 cents of my own money on a top, bra, book and iced mocha latte.
Then finished my paper work.
Visited the gym to see the girls and my coach.
And then watched Make It or Break It with my one and only Jessica.
Finished the night off with some cookies and cream ice cream.
Huzzah.

All in all, great freaking mood.

phillyside

My weekend in Philly was simply marvelous! I adore my sisters friends and spring weather. As the official start of spring break, I hit the ground running.

We sketched at the art museum:

Then we “tossed a B:”

my own “post” secret

The day after seeing Frank Warren and his Post Secret talk, I decided to do a little something of my own. I wrote this message and posted it on the doors of our gym and rec center.

Nothing like a simple message to brighten someones day. I even had a conversation with a stranger about it and pretended I didn’t know who posted it. tehehehe

also, ignore my mutant thumb.

spread the word to end the word

I know I am a day behind, but yesterday I wore a shirt with the phrase “Spread the word to end the word”

The word “retarded” is a derogatory term, and I along with millions of others pledged to eliminate this word from our vocabulary.

Help end the use of the r-word, and visit The r-word.org

status

I officially consider my college experience an accomplishment:

I was the subject of chemistry lab professor’s facebook status.

FTW.

precious

This movie was extremely heavy. Although the story was about Precious’ horrible life, it was a great movie that I would highly recommend. I wish I was some sort of sociologist with an intelligent response to this movie, but all I can say as a reasonably ignorant (which I think many of us are) viewer, is that it was absolutely heart wrenching and my face was covered in tears.

It’s simply a must see. It is eye opening and heart wrenching.

Post Secret

“It’s the children the world almost break who grow up to save it.” – Frank Warren

Tonight’s Post Secret event was fantastic! Frank’s talk was both humorous and inspiring and motivational. Unfortunately I can’t begin to reiterate his message in a way that does his talk any justice, so just take my word for it! I appreciated all of those who were brave enough to share their secrets. The crowd both laughed and cried and it was just a great community building experience. I have a little something in mind for tomorrow, just wait and see!

CAN

CAN

This is another video that will pull at your heart strings. The video quality is bad, which is unfortunate. But, if you haven’t heard of Rick & Dick Hoyt’s story, it is an incredible one. They make a father/son triathlon team, but the son has cerebral palsy. Their story is inspiring, especially because Rick, the son, has a college degree, and they have competitive triathlon times despite his disability. I had to try not to cry in class when we watched it.

More about their story here
I also suggest watching this video too. I just can’t get over how amazing their story is.
