wow. it's been over a year.

it's been a year since my last blog post.

whoops.

i'm fairly certain i own about a bajillion blogs. however, the majority of those are from my angsty, drama-filled teenage days, and i prefer to not relive those embarrassing experiences.

i've decided to re-own this blog. i'm dedicating it to something new. however, i want to talk about me first (who doesn't?!).

my name is carrie. i am secretly an 80-year-old lady in a 22-year-old's body (guess it isn't much of a secret anymore). i love to crochet and watch i love lucy. i am content sitting at home playing mahjong and working on jigsaw puzzles. i love the fall. i've given up meat as a part of my diet since november of 2010. that's practically 9 months ago! i enjoy thunderstorms- as long as i am inside. i'm don't consider myself much of a photographer (see my photoblog ), but i enjoy taking pictures and, in general, being outside. i played ultimate frisbee for a while (i'm no pro) and i like frisbee golf (more like frisbee putt-putt).

i wouldn't consider myself too lazy, but, as i said, i am easily amused sitting in my room remaining attached to my computer screen through the vicious calamity known as stumbleupon. i'd link it here, but it's fairly addictive, and if you haven't heard of it, it's for the best. as a favor to myself, i've decided to make some changes in my life. one of those is to read the happiness project by gretchen rubin. i haven't started on it yet- i'm eagerly anticipating its arrival in the mail. the next step is to begin (and finish!) the couch to 5k running plan. i've downloaded the app

for android and i am one step closer! that's where this blog comes in. i intend to use this blog to track my progress, and as a motivator should i ever feel like quitting. the first day starts tomorrow, and i'm stoked!

edit: due to poor planning and overeagerness on my part, I have to reschedule the first day. I move into my new apartment on Saturday. Sunday will be a nice, even day to start.
