Son of a kneecap!

Got back from our epic adventure last week and decided to buckle down at work, and pick up a triathlon to train for.  You know, because I'm crazy, and I want rockstar legs again.  Luckily the triathlon is a super sprint, so I didn't think it would be a problem.  HAHAHAHA!  On Tuesday I went for a run and thought I'd break my 1.5 mile normal goal and do 2, since that's the distance of the tri.  And I did it.  2.4 miles, actually, but somewhere around mile 2 my knee started hurting and it hasn't stopped for the past 3 days.  *sigh*  Probably my shoes, since they're well over 2 years old, but I guess I'm going to just do bike and swimming for a week or 2.  (I'm sure you really care about the intricacies of my training plan, right?) :)

This has been a good week.  My business is going well - one property is officially in the home stretch to sale, and I've found an excellent GC candidate that I'm so freaking excited about.  I'm phone interviewing a bunch of sales people today, and I bought another house which, aside from the moldy basement, is going to be a light rehab.  On the GreenScale Tech front (Matt and Ryan's endeavor), they won a grant on Weds that, combined with another opportunity they secured earlier in the year, essentially means they get to build their thruster technology AND the cubesat it goes on AND PUT IT INTO SPACE at no cost to them.   THAT'S HUGE!  THINK OF THE DATA!  Right now they're in Vermont blowing up their lab or something.  The details are fuzzy. :)

Deliberate. The adjective, not the verb.

I'm getting so excited for our move.  SO EXCITED!  I'm going to finally spend adult time with my parents (which I'm sure will be infuriating and full of unintended consequences, but also awesome.)  They will be a daily (or maybe weekly) part of our lives for as long as we have them.  This is a deliberate choice, maybe a crazy choice, but one that I embrace with the little knowledge I have of the actuality of it.  I may miss the weather, but life is about people to me, not things. I'm going to live 0.4 miles away from my best friend, and 3.7 miles away from my sister.  I'm going to do real estate.  Matt is going to do a business adventure with his best friend.  This is a deliberate move.  This is a deliberate life.  This is a rebuttal to all the times people say, "I wish I could... but I can't."  Because the thing is, "There's enough time in  your life for everything important."  You are given only one life on this plane...

The Perfect Social Media Life

Watching a little Gary Vee this morning and his rant on caring about what other people think.  (Everything he does is a rant.  But an awesome rant.  I As intended, it caused me to reflect on my social media persona and think about why I post.  Honestly, I post because it's a bit of a yearbook for me.  I love documenting the great stuff, because my brain forgets (in about 0.2 seconds), and I especially love when Facebook reminds me of my memories.  I'm not trying to convince the world that I have the perfect life - I DO have the perfect life.  It's full of family and friends and experiences.  Shelter and safety and amazing food.  In fact, sometimes I DON'T post because I don't want people to compare their lives and feel lacking.  I just want to remember this amazingness for the days when it's not amazing.  Gary Vee posits that we post fantastic stuff because we crave other peoples' validation on our daily lives.  But I know eve...

We'll start with family... The event of the season! Lisa and Tom's wedding was this past weekend and I'm exhausted, but in a good way. My family (God bless 'em) can be so tiring... :) The wedding itself though was a phenomenal success. We got everything set up in time, the key players all showed up for the ceremony (though my parents were almost late because Colby threw a massive temper tantrum about putting on his suit), and the weather was perfect. They did a tropical/bbq type theme at an old estate (Joanna Furnace) with an accordian playing DJ. He was actually pretty good :) Saturday morning we girls went to get our hair/makeup/lives done, and Shakes was nice enough to accompany us and take pictures. Link is on the top left :) We made it to the church about a half hour before the ceremony to change and hang out, only to realize that by putting our dresses in the dryer to de-wrinkle, they had been almost ruined by a wayward dryer sheet. Other women would have panicked...
