Beautiful but never satisfied

Another comment at dinner last night about my head being mixed up in the clouds. Perhaps I need someone who can handle me and the craziness I bring (crazy in a good way meaning crazy minus the drama). Yes, thank you. I need someone who will ground me a bit. For now, I'll continue to float! I am 100% single right now. 100% can be used in combination with a variety of words. 100% fruit juice is a positive. You be the judge about singleness.

Today's Friday is like the cherry on top of my week! Things in my life are going smoothly and when challenges pop up which I don't like, I have solid footing to handle them. So like I say, bring it!

I am excited to tell you about two challenges I have decided to tackle! I have decided to enter a race called Men's Health Urbanathalon. It's a fun sort of race which allows runners to conquer obstacles along the 10k or 10 mile? race. I am doing it because my high school buddy, Miguel asked me to do it, I have never been to San Francisco and I turned Miguel down for our SF trip last year, it doesn't look like there are a lot of women who have done it in the past, and it looks like a lot of fun!

I am also proud to tell you I have entered an art competition! There is an art gallery I have been visiting for over a year now called The Hive Gallery. Kyle and I went there last year for his friend Greg's showing on opening night. Greg's exhibit consisted of small dolls in various situations which had sort of an Alice feel so of course I loved it! I stopped by The Hive with my sister last night on our way to The Spaghetti Factory and saw that they were calling for submissions for their September 3rd show- next week! It's a 24 hour process where I will pick up my canvases on September 1st and drop them back off to the gallery by September 2nd. After dinner last night I bought my canvases online :) Today I took a reference photo of an idea that popped into my head and by this morning I had my creation for one canvas! The other canvas I am going to use to create a mixed media piece. I am super excited for both! If you can't make it to the show next Saturday, don't worry, I will take and post some photos- promise promise!! There is going to be a silent auction so after the show, no more canvases for me- hopefully they will be sold!

Well that's all for tonight. Just got home from a lovely evening eating out at Biaggi's at The Gateway Mall with my sister. We are trying to spend as much time with each other as possible since she leaves for AZ on Tuesday. That means no more sister and no more sweet convertible. Sad day! But you know what? I am excited for next week. I've got big plans :D

Love you my lovely bones!

"Weightless"
by 311

(my favorite song on their new album which I have listened to almost every day for 2 weeks)

It's all kinda starting to make sense, the difference
Between us and them, from the beginning
We're looking for such different things, it is insane
But we wouldn't want to be the same

We are beyond supposed separations
All of those are just our creations
Caught up in the days of mistaking this
Everyone of us is weightless

So weightless, weightless
All weightless, weightless
We're all weightless, weightless
Everyone of us is weightless
Everyone of us is weightless

A summer night and the starlight
That slowly does appear
My god it's been gone for all these years
And yet it really still is here

We are beyond supposed separations
All of those are just our creations
Caught up in the days of mistaking this
Everyone of us is weightless

So weightless, weightless
All weightless, weightless
We're all weightless, weightless
Everyone of us is weightless

Gotta get away, now make it somehow
Zero gravity, no pull has got me
Hurtling through space, all time is misplaced
We're all weightless in this place
Only matter's if you are here with us
Because the route we take is so circuitous
We are floating now, there's no pull here in space
We're all weightless hey

It's all kinda starting to make sense, the difference
Between us and them, from the beginning
We're looking for such different things, it is insane
Everyone of us is weightless

So weightless, weightless
All weightless, weightless
We're all weightless, weightless
Everyone of us is weightless

Ps I really like guys who are tough enough to go to art shows with me and sensitive enough to work out with me. Yes, I said that in the right order.
