I slept outside!

I've been planning on sleeping outside in this igloo I made during the snow storm (see Blizzard Sunday), adn decided that Monday would be the day I did.  I woke up early, even though I didn't want to my body's mean and won't let me sleep past 8 or 9, and went out to work on the fort. You know, get it all ready for sleeping in and gather whatever supplies I'll need for the night. I laid out a tarp and a blanket then tossed in my sleeping bag, two flashlights, some candles and a couple lighters. Once I had the basic in I made a rudimentary door and left it. That took less than an hour. I spent the rest of the day waiting for it to be dark enough for me to go out and go to sleep. What did I do to pass the time? I sat on the couch and watched a marathon of Bunheads from like 10am until 6pm, that's all I did. Then I went to the Schlauderaffs and me and Shiloh sat on her couch watching a marathon of Castle. After about two hours of that I decided it was late enough and went home.  I tossed on a sweatshirt, grabbed some books and junk food and headed out int o the night. It was a good night. I listened to music, read and actually got to spend time just laying down and thinking without either being yelled at or listening to other people yelling at each other. I couldn't really sleep though because Jake kept texting me and my mom kept calling and saying that it's too cold for me to be outside( it was only -13) or that it's going to cave in. Well neither of those happened and I'm still healthy. She woke me up at seven! I finally crawled out around eight and went to sleep on the couch for another couple of hours. That day, Tuesday, Jake and I had a date. It was going to start at 11am with all you can eat pancakes at Country Kitchen and I had planned some things for us. That did not happen. There was a change on his end and all we could do was go to a movie at four. I let him pick and he picked Safe Haven, side note: It's a good movie, but eh, it could've been better. I like his books more. So we watched that and that was all. After that I went to Ogle's, got some ingredients and made cupcakes and German chocolate cake for Max. Side note: Max is my friend who's a foreign exchange student from Germany and the cake made me think of him. Apparently I'm good at baking because everyone liked them. So ya!

Timberman Triathlon

Okay, this one really is going to be short. I don't really have much to say besides what's about to be said. So....read on! First off do you know what a triathlon is? Or what the Timberman triathlon is? You don't? Let me explain then. A triathlon is where you swim, bike, and run. You're timed in each event and your transition time (how long it takes you to go from one event to the next) also counts against you. The Timberman is a triathlon held in Grand Rapids MN. It has a long course (mile swim, 26.2 mile bike, and a 10K run. But don't quote me on the bike) and a sprint course (1/3 mile swim, 13.1 mile bike, and a 5K run, but don't quote me on the bike again). It's a fun event put on every year and draws a nice crowd of people from every age and fitness level. I did the short course and this is how it went: Swim The swim was by far my worst event. I did it in my sports bra and spandex shorts (last year I did it in normal shorts and nearly lost them!...

Fun?

I was invited to go to a party. By a senior. BOO-YA!! So Jake and I went. We all mat at the basketball game Side note: We won, after going into overtime and almost a second overtime! The boys  are now going on to either section finals or section quarters.  Then we all went bowling, which hurt my ankle, so that now this morning it's all in a fit. We bowled until 11pm and then went back to Sidney's house were Spencer asked Marly to prom! Aww. There was a huge banner and everything! Once things called down everyone  headed in for food, well Jake, Kali and I already had. Hehehee. How does Cathy manage to make everything taste so good? We played Dance Dance Revolution 4, messed with each other and ate food. Jake and I should never play Dance Dance. We're not the best and look awkward. The entire time I missed my "group", my close friends, the one's who know me, who I actually hang out with. I normally don't hang out with the people who were there, some of them ...

Dear Asthma,

I would prefer to tell you this face-to-face, but seeing as you have no face and live within my own body, I see no chance of that happening anytime soon. Therefore it is with an ache in my chest that I write this to you. I am sorry, but we are different places in life. I will always remember the times we had together. I mean, who could forget the times you've had me doubled over, coughing as my lungs attempt to dispel you from my body causing you to become caught and tangled within my throat so I can no longer take in a breath. There's also the times where you, in anger with my lungs for trying to get rid of you, wrap your arms around my chest and squeeze with all your might. Just as you've done today. I would love to keep you here with me, but we really are in separate places in this life. I know, it sounds cliche and yet it rings true. You've changed since we first met. You now want to take the easy way in life. To sit back and watch all the good times ...
