Words of Warning

Sunday's are the best. I spend all morning with mom and Patrick at market, people come in their pajama's, I get coffee with mom and breakfast at Seven Eleven with Patrick. Mom usually is bratty to Pat, Pat gets mad at mom... nothing too serious and its normally pretty chill. Most Sundays I get a few words of wisdom, some advice or even a fore-warning from Patrick. 90% of the time its about relationships/men. Its the best part of the day. On this particular morning we sold some tomatoes to a couple that had just got back from their honeymoon in Hawaii (jealous), needless to say they were all smiles and lovie-dovie. After the couple left, Patrick turns to me and says, "Britty-boo, you do know that doesn't last too long, right? We know what they were doing in Hawaii, and it was, for sure, NOT sight-seeing. So, those smiling faces aren't going to be smiling for too much longer. They are done with their honeymoon and now it is time for real life. I would know. Pretty soon it won't be a smile on that man's face, it will be a lop-sided frown, he will have a hunch-back and a dragging leg. The woman won't even have to ask for the money anymore, you want to know why? Because SHE will have it,  and she will be in control of it ALL." 

Thank you, Pat, I always take what you say to heart. Being married sounds great. 

He also told me today that all the other men were looking at him enviously because we were playing catch with the football together. Were they? Who knows.

Triathlon

I started training for a triathlon yesterday. Kind of intense. Running hasn't been my thing for about a year, but yesterday I went nonstop for 45 minutes. Big whoop. No wonder I decided I hated it. Jimmy and I are doing it together, so it gives me motivation for trying to do really well (mostly because I'm competitive). 


I should be studying for my health midterm right now, but if i can't even find motivation to listen in class how can i find motivation to study when I'm not in class? I usually sit there and shop online. Although, I did learn how to figure my BMI. It's 23.6--average. And i got the idea for my blog name from maslow's hierarchy of needs. So i guess i got something out of it.


I'm really looking forward to coming home this weekend/fall break. Go home wednesday night... play with Baily, hang out. Bonfire?? Corn maze?? Thursday (skip class) play with Baily, play in grand mere, hang out, play at the farm, hang out with aryn if she's not pissed at me... and lots of other fun stuff!! Yay!! And do it all again on friday!! I love my life and i'm really glad i get the chance to go home for a decent amount of time.
