Greetings, Bloggerland!
I have had a request to see some more Europe pictures! I actually made a video slide show of all of my photos set to music, but it was too long to publish on YouTube. So you're going to have to settle for Picasa.
Hopefully this link will work. If it doesn't, I will figure it out eventually.
Here they are!
Enjoy :)

Stress
“"I wonder what Piglet is doing," thought Pooh. "I wish I were there to be doing it, too."

So it turns out that planning for a wedding can be incredibly stressful.
Our date is set for about eleven months from now and I'm already freaking out about the humongous to-do list I found on theknot.com. Granted, I tend to worry about everything for eons, but I don't think it's just me this time. Just setting a date proved to be stressful enough for me to have my first emotional breakdown.
But things are coming along. Slowly but surely, they are coming along. I just need to take it one step at a time. Much like Couch to 5k!
I've given myself a bit of a break. I'm now trying to run 20 minutes every other day. And when the day comes when I don't feel like collapsing after the last minute, I'll try to run 25 minutes. And when I say I feel like collapsing, I'm not exaggerating. I have seriously considered lying down in the grass on the side of the road. The only thing that stops me is the fear that some stranger will get the wrong idea and call the cops to report a decomposing body.
So...twenty minutes for now.
In other news, I had a dream the other night that I was still living with my college roommate, Kate, and that we had left out dishes for a Thanksgiving feast we had just hosted. Which is very, very odd because A.) We kept our apartment eerily clean throughout my college years and B.) We could never make anything much more elaborate than Hamburger Helper.
Anyway, I got back from a baseball game where I had caught two baseball bats (not baseballs...bats) and finally cleaned all the dishes. Then I noticed that the walls looked like they were moving, and when I got a closer look I realized that the walls were covered with insects. It was the most disgusting thing. I tried vacuuming them up but the vacuum was really weak. And there were roaches and maggots everywhere. I woke up in a panic.
I looked it up on on some dream interpretation website and found out that if you are dreaming of insects it means you're worried about something. But I also looked up what it means if you dream you are at a baseball game and that means you are feeling calm and satisfied about something.
In conclusion, dream interpretation is complete bullshit.
