Wonder Chloe
This cute little David Bowie-loving bebe asked me last night, "Mollie, do you want to be Vegan?" This Vegan bebe is too cute for words!

Cheeese!
Whoa dude...who are those HOT guys and gals running at the Coliseum?! Why, that's Brittany, Damian, Eric, Alex (I know, I know...he wasn't actually running with us, but he was still there), and me at the Nike Run Hit Wonder!

Run Mollie Run
So I completed my first race ever...well, if you don't count the jog-a-thons in elementary school. Sunday was the Nike Run Hit Wonder and I ran the 5k. Woo-wee! It was soo much fun...I had a blast. There were one hit wonder bands situated at each mile of the course...A Flock of Seagulls, General Public, Ton Loc, and the finish line concert was Devo. Man, they were awesome...way old now, but still awesome. It was scorchering hot on Sunday which made it really difficult to keep running, but thanks to Brittany and her motivational cheering on, I was able to run the whole race and finish. Woo hoo! My official time was 39 minutes and 8 seconds, but we stopped 3 times to hear the bands. The stopping and going was nice because it gave me a little break, but then again, made it that much more difficult to get going again. It really feels great though to be able to say I ran in a race and being there with thousands of other runners was such a thrilling experience. It really motivates me to want to run more and do better (time-wise). Next stop...Revlon Run/Walk for Womens Cancers. Huzzah!

Mmm Mmm Good
Laurel has instilled a baking fire in me. She gave me a recipe to the BEST Vegan Chocolate Cake EVER, and I'm obsessed. I can't stop thinking about this cake...it's sooo good! Last night, I constantly debated on whether or not to make this cake. Finally, at 10:30 pm, I decided YES. I wasn't tired and knew I would be up anyways, so I started to make it. Finally at midnight, the cake was done and Annie and I each had a fair slice with whipped cream. OH MY GOD. The thing was orgasmic...and all to think...it was VEGAN! Seriously yall...this is the best chocolate cake. I can't stop thinking about it. I was so crazy about it that I made Cara come over at 12:35 at night to have a slice. Her friend Zack thought we were crazy. But I was serious...she had to try it, and at that time too because it had just came out of the oven. It was that serious. Laurel is the best baker I know...and she is vegan. I am so determined to be like her and have her mad vegan baking skills. She is my vegan/vegetarian mentor and I thank God for having her in my life and introducing me to Vegan Baked Goods Heaven. LAUREL RULES...just like O'Doyle.

Thursday...it's the new Friday
I live for weeks like this. Tomorrow is Good Friday and God bless the people of Sony for giving their employees the day off. I love the idea of a four day work week. That should be the standard. Enough of this working Monday thru Friday bullshit. I love having a three day weekend. And after each weekend as such, I come back to work only to look at my calendar and start counting down to the next holiday...May 31st in this case. I can't wait! I know, I know. I know what you're thinking...I haven't even had this three day weekend yet and I'm already thinking about the next. But like every other weekend, regardless of the fact that this one is three days long, it is going to zip by me faster than...well, I can't think of a clever line right now. That's what this week, well, last two weeks have done to me. I've been so whipped at work, I've lost all ability to think. Although I've enjoyed having my own office and not constantly being under a microscope, I will be glad to have Andrew back in the office. Maybe I will get my sanity back as well. Nah. Now I'm just being dramatic. Sometimes I feel as though I have to be dramatic because I really tend to lead a dramaless life. For those who know me...I am so not drama. I am the most dramafree person you'll meet. I never get drama. However, I am surrounded by drama. I live vicariously through other people's drama. And that's fine by me. I don't need any unnecessary drama. That's just the kind of person I am I guess...a take it or leave it kind of gal. If something smells of drama, I say leave it.
But going back to weekends...however much I love a three day weekend, I do tend to be a bit burdened by them. There is so much built up to them...with the whole countdown and such...that I always feel this tremendous pressure to do something GREAT or especially ADVENTURESOME (that's probably about the sixth word I've made up today...I know, I know, it's supposed to be "adventurous"...but I'm not a conformist). Then I end up doing nothing or something that might as well be equivalent to nothing and I get bummed because I feel like I didn't fully live up the weekend. Blah...that's what I then feel. And because I am anticipating this...I am going to do everything in my will power to avoid this whole occurence. Yes. I am going to seriously live it up this weekend...if possible. Well, let's see, what do I have planned so far? Well, it's a big huzzah at the Gamo household on Saturday for Robee and Eric. I am in charge of drinks at the festivities in which I will do everything in my will power to get everybody of legal age drunk. And for those not of legal age...I am willing to do some insider bartering. Sshh. So that will consume my Saturday. The rest of the weekend is a free for all. I feel like I should go out tonight and take advantage of the fact that I can sleep in tomorrow morning. Hmm....what to do, what to do. See, this is exactly what I mean. I think about what I should do and in doing so, I overthink it and then completely miss the whole weekend. Not this time. Not this time. (I'm trying to convince myself.)
So, um, yeah. I think this is probably one of the most discombobulated blog ever. Whatever.
