I went to go pick out my Hockey equipment tonight. It's so great that I have a BF that has friends that can sell me equipment below cost. So I should have a nice little bundle of goodies to pick up the Tuesday when I get back from Tampa. YAY! I have to admit... I am a little scared for my new pedicure. It's so pretty. I hope the skates don't ruin it.
On a different note I leave for Tampa on Thursday to sent a lovely weekend with my two best gals! Jilly bean and Kate Lyons... soon to be kady cain.
The rest of my evening will be dodging Brad half teared attempts to water the grass. I feel that the sidewalk and my car are getting a majority of the water but really as long as I don't have to do it... it's a win win situation.

Oh the pain....OH THE PAIN!
So I posted my BEST time Ever. Hopefully I will be able to shred this standing in the next one.
Time was 54:37. That equal 8:48 minute miles. There were over 17,000 runners 7,ooo of them where timed. I came in 118 in my group and 2210 overall. Dang some of those people are quick!!!
Oh am I paying for it today. My legs are about to fall off. My body hurts like a B! I have no energy and I am hungry. I have so much to do before Kates wedding but don't have the energy to do it today.
Ouchy.

Hockey anyone?
I think I am going through a mid life crisis... Do I really want to spend Sunday's falling on me ASS? I guess so because I am signing up for skating/ hockey lessons. I thought this might be a fun activity to due while I am getting ready for the marathon. I love the ice so I get to skate around and learn how to play. My goal? To become better than Brad :) His goal? To be on a mixed team league this summer and laugh at me fall. What a supportive boyfriend.
The only problem is now I have to buy new skates and actually learn how to stop. I have been dreading the stop. I prefer to drag the skate or do a little turn around. I hope someone has a video tape cause this shit is going to be Priceless.

OOOoooh...Then is it?
My baby brother is hilarious... I dedicate this post to him!
So Craigslist is great! Brad and I sold his junk to people this week. BUT the great part is that it's not junk to them and we made over $200 bucks! We sold a rug for $70, a lawn mower for $40, a tv stand for $25.... My favorite is that we sold a Dresser that my old roommate left behind, that was MISSING a drawer for $5. (truth be told I would have Paid some one $5 to take it).
And then on top of all that I posted two of Brads old bikes. One was an old Mongoose mountain bike (We sold it for $35 to a coworker) and the other was a Robinson pro cruiser.

Oh My GOODNESS. I was not prepared for the response that took place after that posting. Posting an add for bikes in this Hippie infested city is like throwing Chum in shark infested waters... are you ever really ready for that? Well needless to say, No. I made the mistake of posting my phone number and not knowing the value of the cruiser. We thought we where going in high at $120... yea...not so much. 15 minutes after I posted it. I had, and NO JOKE, 6 e-mail...4 calls and 3 texts asking for the bike. One offering me $150 if I could drop it off that night. Keep in mind it was 11:30pm and I had to work the next day. I was amazed. These crazies in Austin had the bid up to $200 and one guy wanted to drive down from fort worth to get it and till about 15 minutes ago was still stalking me for it. Oh lord... After all this I removed the post. But oh no... this didn't stop them. Those hippies are persistent little buggers. So I asked Brad what he wanted to do. His response? Man I didn't know it was such a big deal. Maybe I should keep it. While he's saying this I am getting 15 text messages in the background. I reach to strangle him but stop myself. Instead I debate whether to tell these people we sold it or tell them the truth. "I am sorry my waffely BF decided he didn't want $200 for the bike he road twice (because he owns 7 others)." I decide for my safety I need to lie and say someone out bid them. It's not pretty. Angry Hippies are not fun. They have a dark side and don't let anyone tell you different.
Moral of the story... one persons junk is another persons treasure... and you can get money out of them because of it :)

W-O-R-K from HOME!
Have I mentioned how much I love this new work from home deal Dell has gone with? BF works from home Wednesday and I get to work from home on Thursday. MAN IT ROCKS! I don't have to wake up til 7:45 or make up AT ALL! My typical work from home goes. Wake up...log in... Work Work Work... GO grab a Ken Breakfast taco... Work, Load of laundry, Work, Load of laundry. Oh it's 12:30! Go run three miles! take a shower DON'T blow dry the hair! Work, run the dish washer, Conference call, finish sending e-mails it's 5:00pm! Go to the grocery store come home put them away and off to the gym to cross train. Oh yes... now you are starting to see the greatness.
Instead of work, get bothered by someone asking for help, w-o- NOPE another question, lets try again W-O-R almost but no I have twelve people bugging me to walk them through different solutions we offer. I lie and tell them I can't because I have a "conference call." Put the headphones on to block them out and FINALLY get some W-O-R-K done. OH Crap its 5:00pm I missed Lunch and have to go and work from home anyway to catch up.
So... do you see... do you see how I LOVE to work from home!
PLUS... I can nag Bryan and Natalie to upload more baby pic's. YAY baby pic's!

Chicago... you better repeat it!
I am doing the Marathon again. Why you ask. Because I honestly have nothing better to do. Sad I know. Truthfully though I want to do better. My time was lame and I feel I owe it another go around. Besides that little nugget there isn't much going on. I am still getting beat out of the job I want by people that are 20 years older than me and have gotten laid off from other jobs so they feel it necessary to take the ones I have worked 2 years to try to attain.
What??? I sound bitter??? NO!!! Oh wait Yes... Yes I am. I have come to the conclusion that I am going to be unsatisfied with life for a while. It's not bad... just sad. SO, in the meantime I shall run and continue to be under appreciated. Oh whoa is me.
"pity party of one." Oh I think they called me... Until next time!
