Happy World Pasta Day!! I had plenty of pasta right before the Chicago Marathon and that is why I took a week off. Happy to be back!
The Weekly Poll Results! 🎈
Ohhhh chocolate milk! We all have so many opinions on what is best and what we love the most. For this one in particular, people's fav types spanned a wide range. People love a homemade one with the classic chocolate syrup to Trader Joe's to Yoo-hoo. Given all that, it does appear that the fan favorite is NESQUICK which I might have to agree with. Go get yourself some chocolate milk now!

Maggie Rogers' Don't Forget Me Part II Tour: Maggie live is unreal. Her vocals are stunning and the way she adds a new twist to an old song is stunning. Both times I've seen Maggie perform I absolutely loved it. I am so glad I went to this concert and will def want to see her perform again!

The Chicago Marathon was amazing. The conversation above is what got me through the race and the support from my friends and community too. I am proud of my time and I am proud of myself for completing my 4th marathon. I don't have as many thoughts after this one but mainly gratitude, happiness, and pride. There might be more thoughts to come later but, for now pride.
