Caitlin T is Having the Weirdest Summer Ever

It was established today that August and June of 2008 have been the weirdest months ever (of my life). They have given me quite a struggle and I'm happy to say I survived. I'm hoping that they don't continue to make this the weirdest year ever. That one already goes out to 2001. I don't really feel that blogs are the most appropriate places for dishin' the dirt on Caitlin T's personal life but lately all I can really think about is grown up stuff. Such a bummer. Maybe it's about time. I've always been really good at ignoring issues that might cause me to lose sleep.

I'd give a lighter note for the day but I don't really have one. I did make an amazing loaf of bread yesterday but even that took an evil toll when too much of it forced it's way into my stomach and malevolently took what water I had in my system right to my digestive tract. Bitch.

Welcome to the Gun Show

Or check out these pythons!! These babies are sick! I went to the gym yesterday and it was pretty stellar. Sure I didn't lift that much weight and sure I didn't stay longer than 35 minutes but just going to the gym inflated my muscles and ego. I'm pretty sure that gyming it is a good idea all around. Not only am I still referred to as "gym friend #3" by the most notorious gym rats from UMass but I'm mildly positive that weight bearing exercise is more than good for a lady like me (yes, lady). I plan to rip curl twice a week and soon I'll be throwing my cross bike, hopping over the barriers and catching my bike all at one fell swoop.

Willing to open any jars,

Today, plastic #7 is having the best day ever.

June 29, 2067

Yes, I had a glimpse into the future. It was....boring. As I stepped onto the bus this morning (yeah, totally lame and we apparently still all use them in the future), I looked up to check the time: June 29, 2067 8:37 am, I had stepped onto a bus from the future. Nothing had really physically changed which didn't upset me, however, since I was still on my way to complete my masters I realized that this daunting task may never be completed.

Men, I'm going to look smokin' hot at age 84,

- - College Kid - -

I think I'm trying to live out my last days as a college kid in the ultimate fashion....the college kid I never was. In the past few weeks I have spent more time out than I think I had collectively during the entire year past. Fortunately, I have been a college kid sans drinking (which I think may be the most uncollege-like trait possible) so that I can still function at school the following day.

Interestingly enough I think I'm learning a lot in the process. A friend of mine has recently been reading about body language and interactions among men and women..or men and men and women and women, whatever, but the art of flirting is the focus and now I have taken particular notice of trends. In my attempt to find 'the one' (or team, preferably -- Kona) I would like to enroll some of these tactics and work on my "game". Perhaps a sort of reel the fish in and let it go...no harm done.

The attempt last night failed miserably. After a mustache was drawn on me, I tried to give boys 'the eye'. This conversation piece landed as only that, a conversation piece. I thought it complimented my outfit well and matched the mood of the night even better. No numbers.

Any ideas

Day 1 for cross training. Thank goodness it is a rest day!! I'm pretty stoked about training and my old coach from UMass has posted a great plan for August
and September. Nice work Dave. Also, my xcoachx is going to help me out as well with some stuff a little more catered to my deathstyle.

Also this week I get to participate in 3 sensory evaluations costing companies 3 $20 gift cards to target. The kicker was you had to want to lose weight. These evaluations last all of 5 minutes. And, since they got me thinking about it, I decided with this $60 I'm going to buy something to help me lose weight. Since I am not quite a candidate for gastric bypass, I think I'll get something along the lines of a scale supplements. Plus (size) I think I'm only somewheres around the cutoff point to even be able to get the surgery.


I'll leave you with this: silver fillings are having the best day ever.

To all the non-readers out there:

I've been off the radar for a little while now and I'm trying to make a comeback, a comeback of epic proportions. I pretty much had a busy May, a terrible June and a hectic July. I don't really feel that things are calming down for me either, however, I'm prepared to fuel this stored anguish into 30 minutes of running and 2 hours of biking. It's cross time baby.


To heck with grammar;
Caitlin

ps. be prepared to hear from me when I feel like posting
