meenie weenie want it.

There is a magnet on my parent's fridge that states "The best things in life are not things." While I agree whole-heartedly with with this statement, "things" (which may be replaced with the word "toys") sure do make this life much more enjoyable. I've narrowed my list of desired toys down to two-- with a combined cost of around $1500. With my birthday, Christmas, and graduation coming up, maybe I'll be able to get them. Here's the list:

1. A pair of these (definitely in the silver and green)

2. One of these (with accessories, and hopefully in a better color)

I think both of these toys would be a worthwhile investment and even better: they both promote a healthy lifestyle. Best start saving my pennies... although I am ALWAYS open to donations. *Hint Hint*

In other news...

One of the greatest joys in this life is reading a good book-- one that entertains, inspires, and all around changes your view on life. About 2 weeks ago I finished Born to Run by Christopher McDougall and it changed my life. You may wonder how a book about running can change your life, but read it and find out. And for all of you who may think you're not runners-- you are. In fact, your body evolved to be able to run incredible distances. We're not talking marathons... we're talking hundreds of miles. Don't believe me? Read the book. And then go for a run.
