It's been kind of a hard week here in Strangerville. Didn't someone promise once that after you turn 30 everything goes exactly how you plan for the rest of your life? I swear I read that once in the Bible. Or a fortune cookie or something. Or on the side of a bus.

Wherever it was, IT WAS A LIE!

I hope I didn't hear it in an episode of Glee. I don't want to think that Glee can give false information.

And now, your Pictures and Distractions:

Mr. Matt sketching at Art Night.

Hannah cooking at Art Night.

Matt painting at Art Night.

A new maximum speed for me on the bike the other day. I don't know whether the screaming made me go faster or slower.

On my run today, just minutes from my office.

With Hannah at Lagoon.

Also, WHY DID I SWEAT THIS MUCH THE OTHER DAY?! It wasn't even hot! Oh, and NSFW!!! GROSS!!!
