Political Haiku Wednesday

Who wore it better?

This week, my haikus
are reflecting the debate
and last nights outfits.

The wives both wore pink.
I can't decide which was best.
I love pink too much.

The debate showed me
both the candidates' passion
and their theatrics.

Haiku Wednesday

Getting pedicures,
like going to the dentist,
is slightly scary.

Wednesday comes too soon,
and also not soon enough.
The weeks will fly by.

When December comes
you will find me underneath
stacks of late homework.

Pizza = Power

"I am a breeze through the air!" "I am strong! I am a winner!" "I'm too young to die!"

Motivational phrases make the runner.

This weekend a group of my family members and I headed to Leavenworth for the Oktoberfest Half Marathon.

A family of runners. 

Leavenworth is beautiful this time of year. The leaves are turning orange and the air is crisp and cool. All around mountains reach out of the haze and into the clear, blue skies.

The scenery made the run enjoyable, as well as running with family. I finished my first half marathon in two hours and thirty minutes.

Shirt, medal and number. 

Before the race my aunt gave us goody bags with
motivational phrases written on the side.

I must say I'm quite proud of myself and my family members.

Haiku Wednesday

Please do not ask me
what is right and what is wrong.
Because I don't know.


The best time to wear
a striped sweater is never.
Also turtlenecks.


Today it was cold.
Chilly fingers, a red nose.
Genuinely cold.

When in Doubt, Go Shopping!

In the first week of school my planner goes from being completely empty to looking like this:

 So by the time Saturday came around there was no better way for me to relieve the stress of the first week than to go wander about aimlessly at the Alderwood mall.

And I happened to run into these lovely shoes and bring them home with me:

I admit, it was an impulse buy.

But sometimes an impulse buy is best:)
