today in a cutesie boutique i saw a modpodged canvas and i immediately got inspiration! i am going to hob lob asap to get a canvas and the appropriate colors of scrapbooking paper i will need! this is a good project for me, because number one, i know how to modpodge, and number two it should be a fairly quick project. if i am honest with myself, my motivation to finish long projects dwindles down FAST. just ask my roommate lynnlee, and our table i half-way finished! but get ready apartment bathroom you are about to get much cuter! i will post pictures when i finish. and i WILL finish!

tomorrow i am going here..

to get a massage. i love getting massages, and ross bridge is especially nice because they give 20% off to locals on mondays and tuesdays (and possibly wednesdays), and they let you use all of their amenities for the entire day..hot tub, indoor/outdoor pool, etc. not a bad deal!! yay giftcards, can't ever go wrong with one to here!

my run today was terrible. this is going to be a hard journey of training. i am putting too much pressure on myself to soon. but i am going to keep on going for it! i just have to remember the poem my middle and high school cross country coach read us:

if you think you are beaten, you are

if you think you dare not, you wont

if you'd like to win, but think you can't

its almost certain you won't.

if you think you'll lose, you've lost

for out in the world you'll find

success begins with a fellow's will

IT'S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND.

for many a game is lost

ere even a play is run

and many a coward fails

ere even his work begun.

think BIG and your deeds will GROW

think small and you'll fall behind

think that you CAN and you WILL

IT'S ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND

if you think you are outclassed, you are

you've got to think high to rise

you've got to be sure of yourself

before you can ever win a prize.

life's battles don't always go

to the stronger or faster man

but sooner or late the man who wins

is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!
