Things That Make Me Happy

Really pretty flowers. Right now, I really love the simplicity of these tulips. I love their colors too. <3 They just seem so pretty and happy for spring.
Lemon squares are a highly under rated snack food... they are so delicious. I always think of them in spring and summer months. They're so light and yummy. I think I want to learn to make them.
I'm not even that good at it, but I really love going mini-golfing. I guess I just associate it with a lot of fun experiences... either way I love it. Especially all the cute and mildly ghetto places down at the beach. <3
The Phanatic <3 As if this guy needs any introduction. How could anyone not love this guy??? Obvi. you'd be heartless! (Or a Mets fan... but eh.. heartless- Mets fan... one in the same ;) )

Pretty sunsets :) I really like this one. My favorite sunsets are the deep orangey and red ones. <3 Red skies at night-- sailors delight!
 I feel like something that relatively few people know- and that more should know- is that I loved piggies. They were my favorite animals when I was little and I seriously have at least four pig stuffed animals in my sight (which if you refer to my past post- is pretty bad!) at the moment. Granted I'm at home.. but I do love the little guys. Look at that precious face!!! (I think it's convenient that Bones likes piggies too.. because you know.. Bones and Booth are totally going to end up together <3)

Starbucks coffee <3 (Or Dunkin Donuts, or Seattle's Best, or really any other brands coffee- I'm not really picky)

Special Agent Seeley Booth. I know you're probs wondering- whose THIS chic with him! Don't worry her names Emily- she's just standing in for me for a little bit. :)
Running. Unless you like running- it's hard to understand why anyone else in the world would desire to run for miles at a time. But I do. :)

I know this is really weird- but I love dog wood trees. We have white ones in our yard and they always remind me of spring time. And isn't this picture gorgeous? Don't you just want to pull out a blanket and take a nap? :)

Sorry sorry sorry sorry!!

I know I know I know! It has been another week since I blogged! In my defense the last week of classes was less than awesome. And even though I'm on spring break- I still feel like I have a million things to do. But let me bring you up to speed on my life!

#1- Referring to the last post. Turns out there were 4 girls in my age class so since I finished 3rd it means I beat one of them!! :) I got a little mug award thing but I don't really know what to do with it.

#2- I'm home for a few days and so glad to be here. Why? It's clean! Why else? The food is real. Why else? I love my mommy and daddy? Why else? I can go running outside and not worry about getting mugged. Why else? My nephew Peter (the golden retreiver) and Murphy give me so much lovin'. Why else? Um.. because we have a seemingly endless supply of diet coke in the fridge- lets be real- we all know I have a problem.

#3- I went shopping today!! (kind of...) but I'll save that stuff for another post.

#4- I have a new/growing interest in makeup. I'm not very good at it (yet... I tend to work hard at stuff (I did raise a 2.7 gpa to 3 consecutive 4.0's (but I won't be trying for that this semester))) . But it's really interesting. I've decided that I am definitely a "Revlon" girl. I'd love to buy the fancy smancsy MAC & Clinique but for the moment I am relatively poor. So I'll just enjoy my Revlon.

#5-  I am proud of myself. I've been making myself work on homework like 2 hours every day all of break. I hope I can keep it up. That big test next Monday ALREADY has me nervous.

#6- I am considering going to Starbucks (I have a giftcard from Z's momma & poppa!) one day this week and getting Coffee and working on homework. Can't decide if it's too 'cliche'.

#7- I have to go to the eye dr's and renew my drivers license this week. Two Least Favorite Things Ever.

#8- I also might get my hair cut... but I don't know what to do. It's too long. I always just start to ignore it when it gets long because it gets so freakin' gross looking. What to do, what to do. Helppp.

#9- I might get my nails done... I have a gift certificate still... I cant decide. maybe I will. I'll feel pretty for a week...

#10- I can't wait to go running tomorrow- I hope it's nice :)

Sorry Again!

I know I've gotten really slacky on the updates lately, I just feel like nothing of particular interest is going on in my life lately. But alas... I'll give you some tidbits of insight into my life.

#1- Yesterday I got a blueberry muffin and a cup of coffee from Dunkin Donuts and it was pure heaven. I took it to SU where  I found a big comfy chair to devour it in. It was heaven. I'm starting to understand how people can go to Starbucks and just sit there for hours.

#2- I can't get to sleep early anymore. And I always get extremely tired and unproductive at about 6 or 7PM. Not sure what to do about that.

#3- I was cleaning my iTunes library last night and I discovered that I own an unreasonable amount of Rascal Flatts. I seriously think I have like 30-40 songs by them alone. It is way extreme.

#4- I still can't make up my mind about whether or not I want to do the 10 mile or the 5k. I'm having a hard time. I'm going running with my friend Katy later, and hopefully that'll make my decision easier.

#5- I need new tunes for the gym. Feel free to leave me lots of ghetto music suggestions. :)

#6- I downloaded a Taylor Swift song yesterday. I am so ashamed of myself. Please don't stop being my friend.

#7- I watched too much L&O SVU last night before bed. I went to sleep and was paranoid that a person was going to come and attack me. *sigh* It's so good! Why do I have to get all scardy cat??

#8- Mr. Terrible from eBay who sold me a broken iTouch case sent me a replacement this week. I take back all the things I said about him relating to his business operations. I do not take back all the things I said about his personality. He's still a jerk.

#9- I added Eye of the Tiger to my "Gym Playlist" I'm not gonna lie. I'm really looking forward to it coming on while I'm on the treadmill. I know. Too cool for school.

#10- Yesterday I heard this song on the radio by Lil' Wayne called Bed Rock and I texted my two friends Callie & Lissa and I was like... "Does this song really say Call me Mr. Flinstone, cause I can make your bed rock??? Seriously???" And they were both like oh it grows on you. And I was like pft. no way. I came home and youtube'd it. I listened to it once more. I then downloaded it. Guess I was wrong. ahaha story of my life.

Wednesday Thoughts

#1- I rediscovered my clinique foundation last night and I really like it. I realized it's in color shade two, and that if I went to color shade one (which I'm not sure why the girl didn't give me the lightest a few years back when I bought it- because I'm really pale) it'd match really well. So I might purchase that sometime. However.. it's $23 dollars... so maybe I'll wait until my momma wants to buy me a present or something. :) (I am such a bad daughter)
 
This is the Clinique I am referring to by the way, "Perfectly Real Makeup- Shade One" 

There's a link to the website. However- if you've never bought it before I'd go into your Clinique counter so you can make sure you get the right shade. But I do love, love, love this stuff. It's moderate coverage (not too light, not too heavy). 
#2- I just tried to sign up for a taste test- I'm not eligible for  any at the moment... bummer.

#3- We're supposed to get another 2-4 inches (that's what they're saying at the moment) of snow tonight. Not sure how I feel about it. It's supposed to go into tomorrow morning, so I mean... I guess I might miss one of my classes... but probably not both. And it'll just be so wet here again. Gross. Gross. Gross.

#4- My stomach is feeling better than it was last night but it keeps ggurgling :(.

#5- I think I might consider just doing the 5k instead of the 10 miler in the race I signed up for. . . I really want to do the 10 mile.. and I can run 6 or 7 miles.. but I'm just worried that on race day I won't be able to pull out all the stops and do the full 10 :(. It makes me kind of sad, but what can you do??

Tuesday Thoughts

#1- I went into work this morning and there was only like 2 hours worth of work to do so Zach and I got lunch then came back here to do work. It was pretty awesome.

#2- I ran 6.3 miles today at the gym. And then I came home and decided I'm pretty sure I had some kind of food poisoning or virus... 5 hours later.. I still feel crappy. I'm running a mild fever (99.6- but I run cool anyway at normally around 97.8). It's just really strange... I never get fevers.

#3- Going to my accounting information systems class makes me grumpy I think.

#4- Today I finally got rid of one of my old pillows and put the temprapedic one officially in it's palce on my bed... I looked at the tags on the other one to figure out how old it was and discovered that not only was it from "Hecht Company" (which we haven't had in town for nearly 10 years) buttt on top of that the price tag was $10. OLD. Very old pillow. You would never pay $10's for anything in hechts

#5- If you ever have any questions for me you can ask them anonymously at http://www.formspring.me/ed16564

#6- Hannah texted me today and it pretty much made my day. I love feeling like I have friends :P

#7- Today's puppy of the day is absolutely precious. I mean, not so much that I feel I need to spotlight the little angel... but I mean, I am letting you know how precious s/he (totally don't remember) is... so maybe you should go check them out. (There's a link right over there ---->)

#8- I would probably sell my soul to be on House Hunters on HGTV. I seriously love that show.

#9- Today I realized how bad my coffee addiction was. I was seeing starbucks logos in the recycling signs on trashcans...

#10- I really love soft pretzels. No- seriously. I really do. I get them atleast 3 times at week at school. Sometimes I get them with soup and dip them in it like bread. Others I get them alone and put mustard on it.. and others still I get the cheese filled ones. Seriously. I love soft pretzels...

*** Seriously, I talk about food all the time. I am not understanding how I don't weight 1000 lbs ***

Sunday Thoughts

Sunday Thoughts.
#1- Where did the weekend go?! It’s already 7:40! My goodness!
#2- I went running outside again today (I did yesterday too).. and I’m starting to wonder if I’m in shape enough to do the 10 miler. I’m not running to race, I’m running to finish and for the sense of accomplishment. But, I don’t want to make a fool of myself, or walk. We did 5 miles and at that point I was having trouble breathing. Hopefully running outside more will get my lungs workin properly.
#3- I want coffee so bad. And donuts. I am such a fat girl at heart.
#4- I want nothing more than to throw on some sweatpants and go to sleep. But I want to do some blogging, and I want to get some other homework done. So I guess that’ll have to wait.
#5- Tonight I had Captin Crunch with Crunchberries for dinner. I know most college kids enjoy another type of Captin, but I think this is my favorite
#6- My parents usually help me out with groceries during the semester so that I don’t need to stress about them so much.. and probably to make sure I actually eat. And earlier my dad said that that he wouldn’t take half my tax return if I just paid for my own groceries for the next two months (I owe him money for fronting the repair on my car’s steering). And I was like you know are you sure, that’s really not as much as the bill was blah blah blah. And they were like yeah it’s fine. Then my mom goes, “BUT YOU BETTER EAT! DON’T STARVE YOURSELF!” Really, I have been getting this a lot lately. People think I don’t eat. It BAFFLES me. I love food, how are people getting the wrong impression!?
#7- I am thinking that tomorrow I’ll get up at 5:30 do some power yoga, go to the gym, run 4 miles, then come home and get ready for class at 9. Then after class at 9 I’ll go to the lib, work on my business law test outlines (test Friday) and some stuff for Intermediate II. God help me…
#8- Someone from Texas viewed my blog today. I think that it ahhh-mazing!  Especially if they liked it and will come back again!!
#9- I made spaghetti (well actually not spaghetti noodles, so I guess pasta) last night for Z. and I! I mixed some browned beef in with Regeu garlic and sauted onion sauce and it was so delicious. (: (: (: Plus it was nice to talk to and joke around with him since we’ve barely seen each other all week!
#10- I started this blog an hour ago and had some hope of getting homework done tonight but I just don’t see that happening. I am soooo sleepy. So I’m just gonna call the homework idea off I think.. nothing too pressing.

Saturday Thoughts

#1 I got 12 hours of sleep last night and it was HEAVENLY. I could not tell you the last time I slept that long. I feel asleep watching Good Luck Chuck at 9:30 and didn't wake up until 9:15 this morning. Wow, wow, wow! :)

#2 Speaking of which, I've been getting a really sore neck from sleeping. I think my pillows are just old and such. I'll have like full range of motion when I turn by head one way, but depending on what side I slept up I'll only be able to turn my neck a little bit before it starts to hurt the other way.SO this morning I was telling my mom/dad about it and they said that I could use one of their temprapedic pillows that they aren't using. So I went over to their house and got that. I am so excited to sleep tonight!

#3 I signed up for a 10 mile run that will happen on March 7th earlier today. I am nervous/excited at the same time. My Dad's doing it, and so is my cousin. And my friend Chris. But they're all guys, so I think I'm going to have to run the whole thing alone. Which is kind of okay because if I was running with someone I'd feel like I have to keep up, and I just don't think I'd be able to. My goal is to finish in an hour and fourty minutes. Which might sound really long, but if I finish in that time, it means I held a steady 10 minute mile. Which is good enough for me. At this point, I just want to finish. I've never run a 10 miler, so I just want to finish, in a somewhat respectable time.

#4 I went out to Uno's happy hour with Amy last night and it was really exciting. The apetizers were such a good deal. I got their Tuscany bread, which is bread with cheese, spinach, and tomatoes on it for 1.99 YUM! Good deal, check them out if you have one in your town! :)

#5 I am finally doing my taxes tomorrow with my Dad's help. Thank GOODNESS! I can't wait to get my refund checks. :) Even if half of it is going to my Dad to help pay for my car repair back in January :P

Work-Out Information

I thought I'd share with all my lovely followers (and all of you who simply come because I spam facebook/twitter with the link) my work-out routine.

Atleast three days a week I run roughly 3.5-4 miles at the gym. (I set the treadmill to 5.0mph, but sometimes I move it up during the 2nd half of my run, but I do always finish with a sprint)

Atleast once  a week I try to run for a period of one hour. Which means that I should cover anywhere from 5-6 miles by the time I finish with the "cool down"

Atleast twice a week I try to do "power yoga". I watch a video on Netflix (direct to my PC). It's about 42 minutes. When I do that, I try and go to the gym and bike or do a short run (about 20 minutes of cardio). However, sometimes I'll just do the 40 minute "power yoga". Like, I don't know, when there's 20 inches of snow on the ground and walking to the gym is out of the question.

This isn't what I do every week, and I do normally take atleast one day completely off of working out a week, but I try not to do more than two. Sometimes because I really just don't have time, and other times because I'm just plain tired.

In addition to all of that I'd like to get some of the small dunbells from Target or Wal-Mart (5lb-10lbs maybe?) and start working on my arm muscles. My biceps are mildly toned somehow (not sure from what, probably from the massive school bag I bring everyday). but my triceps could really use a little work. I think the little dunbells are only like $5 each so I think it could be a worth-while investment. I'm not trying to look 'buff' I just don't want flabby arms.

What is your workout routine???

Hump Day Thoughts

#1- I am super excited that I've made 100 posts. :) And even more excited that I now have 19 followers! My friend John started following me the other day!! Wooty-woo! Thank you, John! (And everyone else!) I'm thinking of stepping up my goal of 25 to "before spring break". I'll think about it. I don't like falling short of my goals... so.. we'll see.

#2- Intermediate Accounting II seriously took a well functioning, normal, highly competent girl and has made me want to cry almost every class. I just never know how to approach things, and I feel as though I'm not supposed to ask questions. Harsh. I might get my first non-A in the business school this semester. :( And in accounting! That one might hurt my pride a little.

#3- I really wish I had some fresh lemon wedges to go with my splenda/water :) (And my splenda I mean the wal-mart brand version)

#4- I keep staying up late playing on twitter and trying to get up at 5:30AM. It's not working. Tonight I'm going to try to be asleep by 11... we'll see.

#5- I want an internet friend. I know this is silly but when I was little I always wanted a pen-pal and I feel like having an internet friend is basically the equivalent to that 'now a days' *whiney voice* Guyssss someone be my friendddd. (Who hasn't already been dazzled and graced with my wonderful presence in the 'real world'!)

#6- My birthday balloons from Bear are still going strong :) :)

#7- Psycho girl next store seriously has her TV up way too loud. I have my own TV honey, I don't need yours to be up loud enough that I can hear your show too. If I really wanted to watch it, I could turn my own TV on.

#8- Ke$ha's "Take It Off" is uncomfortably catch.


#9- I ran 4.67 miles today at the gym (I tweeted before I was officially done!) and I'm super proud of myself because it was LITERALLY like 100 degrees in there! Okay, okay, okay. I'm exaggerating. But it was probably close to 80.

#10- I love internet banking. I seriously feel like life would be artificially hard if I had to use checks to pay my bills and didn't have instant ability to check my balances.

Monday Thoughts

#1- One Tree Hill is on in like um... about 30 minutes and I'm pretty stoked.




#2- Just made birthday cupcakes with my roomie and they smell delicious, glad I'm getting up at 5:30AM tomorrow to do yoga and go to the gym to work off the calories.



#3- I've decided the only area on my body that doesn't reflect how much I go to the gym is my stomach. Woops, guess my sweet tooth is ruining that one!



#4- I need to study for my business law exam that's on Wednesday. I'm pretty bummed about it.



#5- Last night I was up until close to midnight listening to the people next door argue. Ridiculous.



#6- My toe nails are baby ba-lue and oh so ready for some spring weather.



#7- I am painting my fingers tonight because they got kinda messed up since Friday. Can't decide which color, I know what shirt I'm wearing tomorrow, and I feel like "Cajun Shrimp" which is the color I intended to paint them, might look funny with it.. Hum.



#8- Went to the gym yesterday and ran 6 miles after walking through like 2 feet of snow. I know I'm dedicated.



#9- I'm not going to know what to do with myself when I have a "normal weekend" next weekend.



#10- Thinking of scheduling an apointment in the water massage thing in the club house,... not sure though. I wish I could schedule an apointment online. I hate the telephone!

Friday Mornin' Thoughts

#1- I got up at 5:30AM this morning, and got to the gym at 6:30 right when they opened and the girl working just went on and on about how dedicated I was to be at the gym so early on a Friday. Confidence booster? :) Yes!

#2- My knees, my knees, my KNEES. I cannot whine enough about how much they hurt! Ugh! I don't know what it is, everytime I run they like throb. It's getting old. I like running, so I wish they would stop hurting.

#3- I feel pretty lame that I like so much milk in my cereal since apparently I'm the only one! :P Oh well. Guess I'm weird, it's not a newsflash for me!

#4- I had a BIG cup of coffee this morning before my Management class and I saw Justin Beiber on the EarlyShow, I think that's enough to make my Friday.

#5- Speaking of the Early Show, I'm not sure if anyone else out there likes it as much as I do, but if you do like it and watch it Maggie is pregnant! How cute! She is so sweet, love her!

#6- I'm not sure how I feel about the Bones episode last night. It was kind of weird and a let down. I mean the idea behind it was interesting, but it was just a really bizare episode. At least in my opinion.

#7- I ordered something online and it came in a package, and through USPS and I'm afraid they left it at my door, and I won't be home til 2... are USPS the normal mail people???

#8- If we don't get a snow day on Monday, and I'm locked inside all weekend again, I might cry. I mean seriously. I miss fresh air. But as long as the snow benefits me, we'll be cool.

#9- I really love my burts bees chapstick. I originally got the normal one, that like "tingles" but last semester I got the pomegrante one on accident and its growing on me a lot.

#10- Today's Daily Puppy is super cute, her name is Tallie. She's not outstanding, so I won't post her pictures, but you should all go check her out on http://www.dailypuppy.com/ and give her some bones :)

Good Morning Darlings!

Hello everyone and Good Mornin!

That's right, I'm updating my blog at 5:45AM, whatevs. So I'm up and awake and looking at the snow forecast wboc is saying that we'll get 6-12 inches of snow. I just checked accuweather and they're saying that we are going to get like 10+ inches of snow, 1.36 inches of rain, .3 inches of ice, and gusts of wind close to 59 miles per hour. PHEW. I'm not sure, I want to buy it, I really do but I'm just not sure. If you look at the weather map, it shows this HUGE front that is going to come over us, but I really just have a bad feeling its going to be an all rain event, or go just north of us, as always happens.


Argh, I'm trying not to but I'm really getting my hopes up about this :( I know we're going to have to go to school on Monday and I am just going to be so heart broken when that happens.

Anyway, you might be wondering WHY ON EARTH I'm up so early. I gotta hit the gym this morning before I have class at 9, because I have a bad feeling they won't open this weekend, and if they do, I probably won't want to venture over there. Since I ran so far yesterday I think I'm going to do a 30 minute run this morning, and then just bike for 20... I know it's pretty lame, but I just don't think I have running far in me this morning !

Alright, well it's way too early for me to have real thoughts, so I suppose I'll go!

Ta-ta-for-now!

Life Updates

Nothing particularly interested has happened in my life lately, which is why my "thoughts" updates and "update updates" have been so few and far beteween. Hold on, I need to put this post on hold and get some tunes. H'okay! All better! Except... now I'd rather dance than write. Life can be so difficult. Anyway here are some snapshots from my recent life.

Snapshot #1
I went to Wal-mart this afternoon and I got these little tiny eyebrow razors (3 for $2.48). I decided to give in and try them because I cannot shape my own eyebrows to save my life. The idea is that you use them to get the random hairs between your eyebrows and to neaten up that outter edge. Then, after you've done that (and ofcourse applied something so that your skin doesn't get irritated) you lightly run the razor above your eyebrow to remove the excess hair and create a shape. Then after that you go through and get some of the hairs on the bottom with tweezers. Overall, I was pretty pleased. I cannot do eyebrows to save my life... so I think I managed to make them look pretty nice.


(Not sure what's up with my eye color here)

Snapshop #2
I really love blogging, but I feel like I very rarely have anything interesting to talk about. More than that, I feel like noone reads/cares about anything I have to say, so I do wonder if it isn't simply a monumental waste of time. I suppose this isn't a "snap shot" so much as a "thought" but I'm doing a "snapshot" theme today... so I guess it's a "snap shot of my mind".

Snapshot #3
Mr. Seay's Memorial Service was today. A lot of people went. And I do feel kind of badly that I didn't... but I have issues with memorial services. I always feel like they're full of people who hardly know the person who has passed on. And I guess it's great that they can ackowledge that a great person has left us, but it bothers me. Also, the way I see it, is Mr. Seay (as well as everyone else's memorial services who've I've missed in my life) knwos how I feel about him. I've honored him in my memory, and I've passed on the words I wanted to share already with his wife. So could I have gone this afternoon, yes definitely. But I feel like I do him a greater justice by simply embracing the traits he thought were important in life, and actually doing the things that he wanted all of his students to do. I'm sure it sounds silly, but it's just how I feel about the situation. And I do sincerely hope that people are not offended or hurt by that mindset.

Snapshot #4
"Watched" Angesl & Demons with Z tonight. Only fell asleep twice. Score.

Snapshop #5
Facebook is being funky.. It keeps telling me that people have commented on my pictures. Totally haven't. Additionally, I'm getting tired of reading other people's drama on there. I mean, I guess I kind of put up way TMI sometimes. But I just kind of like to talk. So sometimes I think of deleting all these people, and I realize I'd only have like 4 friends. I knowww. Sad!

Snapshot #6
Speaking of friends, I don't really have any. I feel like I'm in a weird phase of life, where everyone is either ahead of me or behind me. And thus, I have no friends. I've never done the crazy party college scene, and I don't feel like I fit in with a lot of my old friends anymore. I always get my feelings hurt when I hang out with people. I don't know. It's weird. Maybe I am just hard to get along with. Or maybe I just need to join a group for people who love kitchenware, purses, bedding, towels, coffee, books, and accounting. Too bad that most of the things I love others find mind numbingly boring. Ahh life!

Snapshot #7
I keep day dreaming about finding this really cute furniture (generally it's bargains that I get for like 5--10 dollars at yradsales) that I can sand-down and repain or restain. I really want a little night table, and to give it a distressed look, but like white paint, and then a distressed look, that I can keep like blankets, and magazines and stuff in. However, even if I find said furniture and redo it, I have no where to put it. As I am very likely still living in UP next year, which provides you with the furniture.

Snapshot #8
I do not for the life of me understand what is going on with my skin right now. I have had 3 pimples in the last two weeks. I know, I know, I know, WAY TMI. BUT this is really frustrating because I seriously don't think I've had a blemish on my face since summer except for random like dry spots of skin that last like 4 minutes. I've been eating more sweets since I've home, so I'm hoping my skin will calm down and go back to being clear and pretty any day now.

Snapshot #9
I am terrified for Intermediate Accounting II. I feel like I have a reputation as "the smart girl" to live up to. I'm not even sure how I ever managed to get that reputation. I never have any idea what I'm doing. If people knew how serious I was they'd be scared.

Snapshot #10
I really, really, really want to do another 5K, or a 5 miler I am doing one on Feb 7th at the hospital because it's free. But, I want to do another like "big" one. But they're so expensive. They're a big 10mi/5k at the college (Not going to name it as it could potentially lead creepers to know where I live) in March. But whether you do the 10mi or the 5k it's $35. And the money does go to a good cause, cancer research, so I shouldn't feel that bad. But $35 dollars is such a big part of my yearly income. I mean would I spend that much on jeans, yeah, but Jeans last. And I know donating is important but I'm just not in a position in my life where I can afford to just donate that much money 4 times a year. I did $25 in October for the race I did then, but ugh. I don't know!

Snapshot #11
My knees still constantly hurt after I run. It's not really my knees I guess. It's like an inch and a half lower than my knee cap, but I can only best describe that as my knees. They're always sore and achy and I'm not sure what I can do about it. I try to run outside when it's warmer, and I use the elyptical (sp) every couple days at the gym, and I bike some too. But they are just always sore. I don't really know what it is. It seems like it's something not specific enough to go to a doctor about. But I'm not even 21 years old. I feel like that's way too young to be having consistent problems. So, if any of you medical people out there have any idea what's wrong with my knees, or just below them. Pleaseee let me know! :o)

Alright, I know I never end on odd numbers, but I remembered that I wanted to say something about my knees after I'd already come up with "10 Snapshots" so I hdad to add it. Anyway, good night love bugs!
