4-Times eating ice cream

When the summer started I had this grandiose idea that I would blog all summer.  Like real, meaty posts rather than just the quick “Five for Friday” check-ins that allow me to keep a quick record of life.

Growing up, Twistars USA was my playground.  I spent 25-30 hours there a week doing gymnastics with my closest friends and coaches.

Tomorrow I walk back onto that playground with my sister.  Changed as an athlete.  Changed in body.  Changed as a person. 

1) Reading: Emails! Other blogs, just started the book, Lean In.

2) Top three songs: Hmm, So many right now: “Just Like Heaven” (On a Cure Kick…Allie told me this made me old), “Blurred Lines” (Can’t help it. Makes my booty shake…does saying “booty” also make me old?), & “These are the Days” since I broke down and cried when I heard it driving home from school this week. It was such a fitting song to end the year.

Allie and I have an entire summer off together in the same zip code.

This hasn’t happened in years.

Who knows if it will ever happen again.
