cough, cough...

i can't believe summer is almost over!!! yet... i haven't done anything and no one has done anything for me this summer! boohoooo. sad. well, boys and girls, be sure to wear all your whites before labor day-- unless you have a real outfit that's refreshing enough to make a sexy snow bunny statement. i better get my white pants dry cleaned for the last few wears until next year!!

on the other end of things... what's new since my last update?

1) i ran the chicago distance classic 1/2 marathon last wknd. my time totally sucked since last year's chicago 1/2 marathon in the fall. 2:18, probably cuz my knees nearly fell off. i was in so much pain in the last 3/4 i literally could not run anymore. and stupid people with false cheers "almost there!" when we were clearly not almost there! GAH!!

2) i am sick. i hardly ever get sick, but when i do, it lingers on forever and ever! cough cough.

3) i fell off my bike. i was too lazy to un-clip my foot off my pedal when i came to an intersection. i was hoping that i didn't have to stop at this intersection. unfortunately, by the time i decided that i should stop, it was already too late to un-clip myself and my bike already slowed too much soooo--- well, i tipped over. whatever will we do without bony parts like the knee and the elbow! completely scraped and ugly :(

4) jay and jamie's engagement party was this wknd. here are some pix that i took. i have to tell jay to email me the others!


5) the worst of all recent happenings: c h i l d r e n' s is not over yet!!! gotta make a final presentation for thursday, which is my last day. i swear this calls for a party! i am too stressed though to be happy about th is wk being over soon cuz i have *BARELY* done anything for the presentation and i am afraid that none of my articles are good enough. this drug i am talking about is a somewhat new off-label use (as in no FDA approved) for this condition. cant find anything! AHHH, stress stress, cry cry.

as i cry myself to sleep, i should also try to think about the CUBS game that i will go to tomorrow night, all the birthday parties this coming wknd, getting lost in the chicago accenture with wendos and karen, and *potentially* very fun and scandalous labor day wknd! oww oww!! but until then, c h i l d r e n' s shall consume my sanity, mood stability, and creativity. :( :( :(
