Run.

It's definitely been one of those weeks where I'd prefer to just crawl into the fetal position and wrap myself in my fabulous Snuggie, but instead, I am going to accentuate the positive. Like,

* I just saw the proofs of my wedding invitations and they are AMAZING. My friend Jamie did an awesome job designing them. I truly appreciate her eye for design and her willingness to create them in such a way that they represent both Mike and myself. Speaking of Mikey, one of his designs makes a special appearance on our paper products as well. I sent the files to a friend, who replied with, "They don't look like wedding invitations." It was the exact reaction I was hoping for:)

* I have been working out a lot, which always makes me feel less suicidal. Because if the stress kills me, then at least I'll look good when I die. I've really been trying to focus on adding fun, upbeat music to my running playlist. A few songs I'd like to recommend:

"How Will I Know?" by Whitney Houston. I DEFY anyone to try and run to this song without singing along and/or attempting to simultaneously dance and run at the same time.

"Feelin' Stronger Everyday" by Chicago. Words cannot express how much I love Peter Cetera. You will too, especially after you hear the horns section.

"Dance Dance" by Fall-Out Boy. The title speaks for itself. And it's Pete Wentz.

"Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder. Nothing beats old-school Stevie!

Anyway, give them a listen and a run and let me know what you think!

  1. I think you should add "Ready to Go" by Republica to your running mix. Not as angsty as Garbage, but it definitely has some motivation power to it. =)

  2. I, too, love me some Pete Wentz and the rest of his band whilst running. You may also want to add "Bat Dance" from Prince to the running playlist because nothing brings a smile to your face during mile 4 like Jack Nicholson suggesting that "This town needs an enema". Also, I very much enjoy Shiny Toy Guns "Ghost Town" - it's like if Gwen Stefani and Dave Grohl made musical baby.

    How about you just play them on a jukebox over some beers and I'll be glad to share my thoughts.
