already?

sheesh.

This week has evaporated. Poof. Seriously?

But it's Friday...

So, it's time to obsess a little.

2. Koi Ponds

{{ these flashy guys live at the museum...}}

We just had a fish funeral {again}.

Fang the koi has passed (he was a good fish);

he drifted away to the big pipe system in the sky...

well, err...underground anyway.

I have concluded it's because there are too many fish

growing too fast in our tank.

Until recently I have never cared particularly for fish.

Lately, they have become a thing of beauty and mesmerization.

I think it's because they float and glide; they fly underwater.

I especially love koi fish.

Painted water.

Brush strokes for fins.

Just lovely.

I think a koi pond would look smashing in our backyard.

Don't you?

1. Marathons

I'm not very athletic. Or maybe I should say sporty.

I dread competition, and I tend to feel paralyzed under pressure.

But I love being outside.

I love working in the dirt, riding the horses, and

exploring the rocks.

I like physical.

I like my exercise to be disguised.

That being said, I want to run a marathon.

Actually, a half marathon.

I don't want to compete per say.

I don't know if I can run the whole thing...

or even walk the whole thing.

But I'm going to train.

I'm going to sign up.

Something inside of me is saying I should try.

Something wants to do what I have never done.

Something wants to prove I'm strong.

Something wants to run.

I'll keep you updated.
