dear tri-cities inhabitants,

please stop being lame. 8pm is far too early to head back to your house on a friday night. look, we here at cheese louise have stayed open for you, providing a trendy late night hangout for you and your friends. cheese, wine, coffee... can life get better? i submit that it cannot! and if you're not into the pandora playlist of classical jazz music (um i'm about to throw up from hearing the same style of music for so many hours straight, so i do not blame you) i will gladly keep the weezer playing. yes, that's what i'm blaring at the moment while alex naps in the back. now if i only had a glass of wine of my very own...

put simply, come visit. spend your money. eat some cheese.

love, krista

ok for realizies, i like being here. really i do. but i hateeee when no one comes in. especially on the late nights, cuz though i have a bunch of projects i'm too tired to do them. i can fake energy when guests come in, but when it's just me and alex and the wordless random jazz provided by pandora|one, i start to zone out and it's more than i can handle. and we still have 2 hours. ahhh. maybe i'll get a second wave of energy here in a bit. let's hope so. if not, loud rock music and mindless internet surfing it is.

tonight begins the first wtr at springhill. i was supposed to be there. then i hopped a plane to washington... so...

i'm not gonna lie, i'm a little bummed to not be there. but i also have to remember that there are 10 more after this one. well, next week i'll still be here, and the week after that i'll probably be recovering from surgery, so that wont work out either. but that still leaves 8 more.

that's a lot of wtrs.

i'm ready for snow.

so ready for snow.

there's snow at home. there is not snow here.

luckily i have a job that provides lots of opportunities to be in the snow.

bliss.

i need to start seriously training for this race in may... that's also code for i need more angela van drunen in my life. seriously hanging out with her is one of the reasons i'm not entirely dreading going back to work. angela hang out time is a huge perk of my life at the oec.

bah, my first week back is going to be rough. this i know.

yeah i dont really have anything else to say.

murphy comes back from cali tonight.

woot!
