Beauty

I’ve got a perfect body, though sometimes I forget
I’ve got a perfect body cause my eyelashes catch my sweat


-Regina Specktor (Folding Chair)


So many people worry about it so much but really really every person is so beautiful.  Today I was noticing my mother is really very beautiful and so are my sisters.  All my friends are so beautiful, and then when I thought about it so is everyone I know.  And the more I know them and get to know them the more beautiful they become.  But still we are all always wanting more and more and to look better but is it really for ourselves? because honestly I feel the most beautiful when I am wearing a sports bra and am sweaty and it is fall and I just have gotten done running or when it is really early and I still have crusties in my eyes and coffee is so good and it is brisk.  


"Our bodies now disappoint us, but when are raised they will be full of glory.  They are weak now, but will be full of power. They are natural human bodies now, but when they are raised will be spiritual." -1 Corinthians 15:43


Every person will have wrinkles and pimples and fat and hair and things we think gross.  But they are just natural human things and they are great.  And they are kinda cool too!

 

My mom told me this...

A baby was born two months prematurely and declared dead after trying to bring the child back to life for over twenty minutes.  They let the mother hold onto her child and it came back to life... I just thought this was so great and such an amazing story!

My mom told it to me today at dinner.

Baby came back alive from mother's heart beat!

What a beautiful day

Today the day felt like how this picture looks:

It made me very happy.

Also we had a cross country meet.  It was fine to run in and I was really happy for everyone on my team.  More so I was excited to see my family and share kisses with my 8 year old sister, Annie.

come come come!

What?  Our first and ONLY home cross country meet

When?  The boys start at 6pm and we are after them

Why?  The combined races take under 45 minutes (they are both shorter than usual), it is nearby, the weather will be perfect, need I say more?

How? Drive, walk, bike, bus- there are many ways

Where?  Ashton Cross country course (right next to the hawk lot)

IT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN.

Just us running next to the national champ last year-- not a big deal at all

A little entertainment

If any of you are like me and can not usually keep their eyes open for the entire Saturday night live on Saturdays I highly recommend you go to this link.  (Just click on his name).  It is commercial free annnnnd you can watch it at your leisure.

big BOI

So our cross country team was invited to hawkapalooza since we are a fall sport.   Instead of bringing one or two people like everyone else we brought our entire team, but why would we want to be like everyone else anyhow?

But the best part is this- After going up on stage for one minute we got to rejoin the crowd and hear big boiiii.  We were dancin' so fly and bumpin'.  Fortunately almost all of the lyrics only required makes noises like "oo ahh" or "gaaaaa" or some other loud thing so we could sing along despite not knowing them! What a treat that was....

I hate picking the scab too early

Today it became increasingly necessary for me to purchase the new Kate Nash album so I could memorize before the concert.  She sang these words to me...



"I hate seagulls and I hate being sick
I hate burning my finger on the toaster and I hate nits
I hate falling over
I hate grazing my knee
I hate picking up the scab a little bit too early
I hate getting toothache
I hate when it's a piss-take
I hate all the mistakes I make
I hate rude ignorant bastards
And I hate snobbery
I hate anyone, who if I was serving chips wouldn't talk to me."


Now I know that if she serves chips to me at the concert I should talk to her or else she will hate me.  Thanks Kate
