1. i bought my first chapstick yesterday.

everyone around me knows by now that you dont ever ask me if i have chapstick.
i never do. i dont believe in it. until yesterday....
my poor lips have taken a brutal beating from the north pole/ wind/chill/17* weather.
so i caved and bought one. and my lips have been saved!
2. i ran 5.2 miles yesterday.

i know you marathon runners (and my 53 year old dad who runs at least 30 miles a week)
are rolling your eyes and saying "oh brother... 5.2?"
i go to the gym often, but i never run more than 3 miles.
so yesterday, i felt good, and pushed myself and pushed myself.
i can honestly say that there is a deep sense of satisfaction to actually do something that i never thought i would. because i have accepted the fact for years, that im not a runner.
trust me, this was a big accomplishment. {and i cant walk today, but that's beside the point}
3. i have 5 comprehensive finals next week.

never had that one before. i guess we'll see how that one pans out.
happy finals.
