2013 in Review

Well the year started off well, but as I sit here looking back at 2013, I realise that it went downhill from the start. Following my Goodlife run, everything sucked. I can't wait until this year is over.

This sooo reminds me of Naptster and MySpace... good times!

Sometimes this is necessary.

Pets

Cosette looks like she is... Well, drunk! And passed out. 

Enjoying a night in with the BF. Things are going well. Next week I need to connect with friends.

Construction - Emerald Towers

I've been watching these buildings go up for over a year, I'm fascinated by the drawings of the finished buildings.. I plan on taking pictures during my commute, as it starts to take form. 

If you are in need of a good cry and love animals....

This is so sad...man's best friend.

Summer is almost over...

"A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us."

John Steinbeck

The summer has been busy with assignments and this research paper on sustainable development. Along with work and the personal issues with BF and the ex-roommate, it hasn't been easy to focus. Struggling with my own issues, I often wonder why I even bother with anyone. I feel as if I'm always giving and never getting anything back. Maybe I'm too used to being on my own, doing my own thing without the help of anyone. I don't like having to rely on others and I feel that as I start this new journey with the BF, things are going to be challenging. 

This year has been a sucky year for travel. What I missed this summer? My trip to the US east coast: Cape Cod/Orleans - Nauset Beach! and Long Island - Southampton.  I never went to NYC on my birthday either.  I returned to Pittsburgh and probably will never go back. I am going to Chicago in September. Next week I am going to Ottawa for three days and most likely will spend my time on my computer, with the exception of Sunday due to a wedding.

I'm in a rotten mood right now so I may come back and turn this around into some feel good post about being in the company of someone who loves me or I may not. My horoscope said it was a bad weekend in the love department. Below, some cheesy MySpace gif:)

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL!

Today's Step: Honesty

Knowing that I can do better gave me confidence to participate in recovery. 

It's already June!

The year is almost half way through, and I could say that its been a pretty lousy one so far, but I won't. I completed my half marathon in 2:29:00, which wasn't my expected time, but I finished feeling really good and in no pain. Plugging away with school work and the practicum which should be taking up all of my time - but I'm not focused enough. I have three months to do the paper. I need to get cracking.

Happy 2013 ~ this is my year!

Happy New Year!

I am happy that it is 2013! I am well on my way to this being my year for successes. I just need to stay focused and get rid of the distractions that will pull me down. Did my resolution run on New Years Eve, in 31 mins, which is really good. Now I start training for the Good Life Half Marathon in April. I plan on doing a few 5 and 10K's this year, with the other half marathon in September. I'm not ready for anything more. Still working on my fitness levels and losing a few more pounds. Less travel this year because that is what kills me  - no proper fitness and nutrition plans in place. No more excuses!
