sometimes i feel really behind. my friend nina is buying this house. she's 24, just graduated, working as a project manager for a green real estate company. she landed a nice job out of school and is saving up for grad school. the house is a foreclosure so it's not like she's buying at typical market prices. But the thought of being able to buy anything for $150,000 is mind blowing to me. Sigh... i'll be there one day. I think more than any other 'adult' thing, i want to own a home. my whole life i've lived in rental properties and owning a home will feel so solid to me. one day... one day...
tomorrow is the peachtree road race. i'm trying to pregame for tomorrow. I ran 6 miles last night. I had a fruit smoothie for breakfast, pasta for lunch, and i plan to have pasta again for dinner. I've been drinking a whole lot of water so I'm not dehydrated at the race. I'm peeing like a race horse. Yeah, this is going to be fun. I've wanted to do this for years and i'm finally doing it. I'm going to bed early tonight and getting up around 5:30 to catch marta. So I've heard they hand out free krispy kremes on the side of the road to racers. I think that is so weird. And then brunch with my mom, the koons and andrea. Then, later on, fireworks. Thats the plan. I should get packing.
