humility.

humility.  it is not something i am extremely good at.
i really struggle apologizing when an apology is in order.
but today?  i was way humbled.
you see, last sunday people were talking about a work out class that was held tonight.
it's called turbokick and is fairly low-key.
well some women were worried it would be too challenging.
but my comment?  went something like this: 
'it's a joke!'
please-insert-foot-into-mouth.

i was supposed to be in cleveland tonight but the dad got called into an emergency work trip.
so i got to go to the event tonight!  well today the leader {and good friend of mine, april} sent me a sweet txt. she said, "please don't call the class a joke.  it is rude (but used a different word, i don't remember though!) to my instructors and my program".
can i say i wanted to immediately start bawling when i read this?  
i felt horrible! 
never had i meant to hurt a friend.
so  i called and got her vm and apologized--cause an apology over txt is not legit, i don't care what anyone says!
so today....i was HUMBLED.
and the class was a good workout.  
it was so much fun to sweat with nikki, cassie, lindsay, laurel, and many others.

and now i need to pray that my words are more carefully chosen.
cause i think i have that problem more than i think.

they also had a free 5 minute massage chair at the workout party.  it felt sooo good.
1.5 years ago i said that when i ran another half marathon i would treat myself to a massage.
but i never did.  so tonight i signed up for one!  and i can't wait.

so today i had another unexpected day off.
so you know what?  i decided to take the whole week off.
BAM. just like that.  i'm just exhausted from the inconsistency.
i'm too type-A for this!  either use me...or don't.
also, i should mention that i took a 2 hour nap today.  
you know, since i was in bed at 2 am and up at 9 am.
yikes..and i feel bad for mitch and amanda who had to work early.
{did i mention...they want to come up to visit for my 21st?!}

i got to talk to my bestie tonight and it was so nice.
she got mugged for the first time last night.  how scary is that!
but they only took her $15 and not her camera or phone. praise the Lord!
skype was acting up a bit and she took this beautiful pic of me--frozen.


looove it. don't you?
only my best friend would take a pic of me so i could share in her laughter.
this was my shocked face when she was telling me her story.

it's tuesday.  
and this time next week i will be unpacking my room at school.
yeah.  let's just not talk about that.
