Crap

I have had a shitty, shitty week.

I'm not going to lay it all out again since I have done that enough on here this past year and I just don't have the energy.

Sorry to be all "whoa is me." We'll be fine, but I do need to unplug for a bit. Right now I just have no motivation for writing blogs/reading blogs/facebook/internet/running/work/life in general...hopefully it will change in a few days.

Congratulations to all of you who raced this past week. Especially all my Ocean Drive homies.

I'll leave you all with the rest of the pictures I promised from DC. Enjoy.

Beautiful pics. You have a real talent.

Good luck with your shitty week. Life kicked me in the face last week, and this week has been much better. Hopefully your next week turns around as well. :o)

I heart the cherry blossoms there. I may or may not be running a 10 miler there in October. :)

Your photos always brighten my day, Laurel.

Do what you gotta do, but don't stay away too long. I'll be thinking about ya.

I am hoping things start to look up for you soon. Sending positive vibes your way.

Love all the pics by the way. You are an amazing photographer...makes me want to get back to DC in the near future!

NancyPants said...

Hey Laurel, sorry you're having a crappy week. Mine's been pretty crappy, too!!! See the latest post in my blog called "PMS Sucks", if you feel like it.

Hang in there.

I LOVE your photos...especially the cherry blossoms!!!

You have a real gift for photography. Your Philadelphia photos were what first got me interested in your blog and I had to go back and see all of them. The things that you capture in your photos are amazing.

You also have a gift for writing. The post that you wrote about your friendship with Jackie was one of the most heartwarming pieces I have read in a long time.

Not too mention funny..."Nevermind qualude Santa"....hilarious!!!!

So anyway, your blog is one of my favorites...I hope you don't stay away for too long!!!

Take care.

Love the one taken from above of the people sitting with legs stretched out. And the full pose one of you & J? You must be wearing the skinny jeans b/c you look tiny!

Hope today is an easy one for you. I'm a good reader if you need to vent. xo

Jolene said...

I loved the pics, you are definitely talented. I have an idea of how to cheer you up- why not book a trip with J to Hawaii and run the Kona Marathon or Half Marathon(this June)? After the run, you can drink mai tais on the beach with us! What better incentive? BOOK NOW!

Dori said...

Those are great pictures. I especially like the B&W ones. Sorry things aren't going well at the moment. Come back soon.

Laurel, hope you are doing ok. I've been pretty out of it myself.
