Jogged Down Memory Lane... Literally

So I was still awake at 6. Out of nowhere, being spontaneous, I decided to put my running shoes on and went outside the house for a jog at 6:15AM. The woods and plant life in the hiking trail have grown enormously since the last time I've been here. I jogged 1/2 a mile in 5 minutes. I haven't been able to do that since ever. After that I walked and jogged alternately towards the public swimming pool which is about 3/4 of a mile away from my house through the jogging pathway in our neighborhood. I walked/jogged again towards the opposite end of where my house is and found myself in the playground.

I haven't been in this playground for a long time. Last time I was here was 4 years ago. My ex and I came here one fine afternoon and relived our childhood memories playing in the swings and pushed each other on the swings. A few months ago I'd probably get all sad and depressed. As I approached the playground and the swings and pull-up bars, I just smiled and thought to myself... those were great memories.

This was created around the time the 100th episode was to be aired I think.

You may know everything about Booth and Brennan. You may know everything about The Jeffersonian. But you didn't know these 100 fun facts about the production process that goes into making each episode of Bones.

Did A Duet with the Glee Version of Alone

The first song on my playlist is the Glee version of the song "Alone" original by the group Heart. This version is sung by Kristen Chenoweth and Matt Morrison. I went to my sister's friend's high school graduation/birthday party tonight. I sang the song in a duet with my sister's best friend. I think we pulled it off quite nicely. Probably needs a little bit of tweaking, but we pulled it off... Heck, I'm feeling a little air-headed right now to say that I did really really well.

Well, that's about all I can say right now. Overall a fun night.

I'm done.
