Surf and Other Stuff

• I went surfing the last Saturday of June. It was heavenly - sunny and hot. I thought that meant it was another no booties day, and I tried hard for about 30 minutes to make it so, but it wasn't meant to be. I had a great time and left a piece of myself in the water that day -- I played around for a few hours, got out to eat a protein bar, and got in and did it all again. I took some baby greens, walked around on my board, and at one point was so anxious to scoot up that I ran right off the end of the board while I was still on the wave. A bit bittersweet, but it was a great day. What's better than surfing? Nothing.
• In just over a month, I'm headed to Hawaii for 9 days with my BFF. MY GOD, I am looking forward to that time. We've done this trip a few times before, so we're experts on exactly how we like to do it. I can't wait. 
• I couldn't be more over school. I can't figure out if the entire industry is totally backwards and inside out, or if I'm just really done with being in school. I don't know. We have a brief break in August and I'm going to use it to do some thinking. 
• Work is pretty much fun. It's a little complicated, but fun. 
• I don't know about this whole sewing business. I think I'm going to put a few things on Etsy, post here that the shop is open, and see what happens. But - and I don't know if this is just being a perfectionist, or just liking to do things out of enjoyment and not out of having to - I like sewing for myself and for friends more than the thought of sewing to sell things. We'll see. Maybe if I make some cash to support the new-found and expensive fabric habit, I'll start to like it more.
• I like blogging and reading blogs, but I'm enjoying other forms of social media less and less. I'm sorry. It's not you, it's me. 
• I'm back to running. Can I say that if I've only been consistent for about 2 1/2 weeks? That's a lifetime in running-consistency for me. I'm slower than I was last year, but I'm doing it 3 - 4 times a week, 3 - 4 miles at a time. I'm really enjoying the whole process. I change into my running clothes at work and go straight to the track. It feels good to breathe in the night air, and if it happens to be a (very) rare warm day, it's cooled off by the time I'm starting.
• This weekend is a three-day weekend for me because I'm switching from Sun - Thurs to Mon - Fri for work. It's a good thing, because I have about a billion hours of homework to catch up on. So right now I'm sewing. Natch.
