and no that is not a quiz or a game, although perhaps some day that could be a fun blog game...hmmm...
Anyway, today I have many thoughts and I feel like sharing them out loud (well kinda).
Change - I am craving change...it happens every couple months, that I really begin to feel a tug for something different.
Sometimes it feels like this.
That's me...right there in the middle of those two arrows...feeling hemmed in.
I have lots of explanations for this, but for now I will just say..."change, is kinda like milk, it does a body good."

My new semester of class started this week. And as per usual, I think there is going to be one or two individuals that make me crazy.
There is one guy who seems very, shall we say interesting, who just talked incessantly throughout the entire 40 minutes we were there. Even though there wasn't really an opportunity for class participation, he just made himself...umm...known. I hate that.

I also have a feeling I might be the dumb kid once again. I am taking a Creative Writing Workshop.
Let's just say I have not written a "story" since I was in 3rd grade and we had to write a story and do all the illustrations for it.
I am sure my mom must have a copy of that creation somewhere...
But then she may not, as I have definitely inherited her stance against clutter and against too much "sentimental stuff" - Thank goodness! We always ask the question, "Will I ever use this again?" or the question "What is the purpose of saving this?" It's been a life saver.
I have, however, had two poems published in my life. Which should serve me well right, considering I must write at least 3 poems this semester.
But once again the last time I wrote a poem was third grade. I believe the winning poem (in my age category) was written by yours truly and it was called Halloween.
And if I remember correctly (which would be crazy since that was 20 years ago) it was most about candy and ended like this and I quote...
"tummies too fat."
Perhaps someday I will share that with you. I know that the printed collection of winners exists in my "toy" closet at mom and dad's.

Meet my friend Anne...
Thanks to her, I have been super duper motivated with working out since November! She is my new running buddy.
I am super proud of my latest accomplishment - 4 miles all at once and 13 in one week!
......................................................................................................................................
Not only that, for Christmas Anne gave me a fantastic gift...
Its a milk-frother! Sounds lame right, but on no my friends, this is fantastic!
Yesterday I made my very own latte! It cost like 50 cents.
Here's the recipe.
One k-cup in my Kuerig coffee machine - medium size.
1 half cup skim milk - heated for one minute in the microwave - then frothed with the tool seen above for a few seconds.
1 squirt chocolate syrup - or more if you are feeling cheeky.
Pour frothed milk into coffee stir it all up and there you have a chocolate latte with a little foam!
