You Awake?  

Once or twice a week my husband and I watch a movie together before bed and every time, Yes, every time I fall asleep. Big deal right? It's really not a big deal but I pretend that I am awake. I throw a laugh here and there even if the show isn't funny. He will ask "you awake?" I angrily shout "yes, I'm awake! don't be ridiculous!" He knows I am asleep. I know he knows, why do I pretend?  

Ever yell at your kids to stop yelling? Yea, me neither. That would be silly. 

Started the morning out with a nice bike ride. As I finished telling my friend how great my 80's Schwinn is and that I don't need a new bike one my brake handles went flying off......I guess its time for a new bike. 

Blech!

After being begged all year by my 1st grader to come eat pizza school lunch with him I finally broke down and did it. I was reminded why he brings home lunch and cried one day when he forgot it. Nothing like choking down lunch while being touched by dirty nails, looking at snotty noses, gross smells and spit flying around. God bless teachers!!

Today I was handed a bugger, my right breast was squeezed by a young man with a big smile and a six year old said I looked a little tense and did I need him to rub my shoulders because when he got big he was going to be a massage therapist. Overall it was a great field trip with my favorite little Kindergartners!

Adult Time

Just got back from a fabulous four days ALONE with my hubby, we mt. biked our brains out, spent an evening at the spa, got in and out of the car really fast, pushed elevator buttons all on our own and said naughty words like poop head. 

My Brain On The Marathon
I woke up at 5 a.m. (because thats just what I do) and sent out 11 texts to all my buddies running. After hitting send, did I get everyone? I hope I didn't leave anyone out on my touching text, I think I sent one to someone not even running. I bet Kip and Staci think I am insane. I'm going back to bed. After disbelief that no one in my family wanted to come see my peeps running I headed up with my coffee. Driving up Trappers Loop- I've ran up this road and down this road, I love to run. After parking as close to the dam as I can-I get teary eyed as I see mounds of runners coming down the mountain. As I walk down, passing several-what the hell is wrong with you people? you walk so slow! I'm in a boot and walking faster than you. Ha I can walk faster than some people when I am wearing a boot. I find my spot next to a lovely old couple-they point to my boot and say "I bet ur suppose to be running this" sigh...yep. Stupid old people please don't talk to me right now, I can't believe how many complete strangers ask about my boot-I'm a friendly girl but I have never asked a stranger what they've injured-so many runners-no one should be coming for 15 or 20 more minutes-its cold-sigh....I should be running this-stupid boot-my husbands gonna kill me cause I think I'm gonna have run this next year-yep, I am-I have to-hmmm what time is it? another 15 miniutes-Sol? standing right in front of me (I shouted in his face as he grabbed me and had the happiest, most unforgetful face) HOLY CRAP SOL!! YOUR HAULING ASS!! YOUR DOING AWESOME! He is gonna do this thing in like 4 hours-I can't believe how fast he is going-I think he secretly really likes to run-wow! that girls shorts are super short-hork, that girl doesn't feel good-man, this lady is so loud she is giving me a headache, hey there is Stephanie-she must be with her sister-they all look alike-Hi Steph!! YOUR DOING GREAT! (big sweaty hug) AWESOME JOB! Yes, I will take ur sweaty shirt-wow, this shirt is really wet-I wonder if I left it in my car and forgot it how stinky my car would be-Woah!! Kristy and Caron!! they went by so fast Kristy circled back around for a hug, Caron stood smiling and looking like she was having way too much fun to be running-GREAT JOB GIRLS!!! Hahaha here comes Katie-shes so goofy-she makes me laugh-(I couldn't miss her running straight to me with waving arms) WOOT! WOOT! WAY TO GO KATIE! WHAT? YAY! I'M SO GLAD YOUR LEG IS WORKING! Hmmm I hope Miss's leg is ok-that guy is huge-she needs a bra- I'm gonna need to shower again-i'm cold-I should get a jacket but I don't wanna miss anyone-I wish I was running-stupid boot-hmm theres a lot of those funny hoka shoes-is that Natalie? No-is it? No-she doesn't wear hats-wait! it is! NATALIE!!-she has relief on her face as she sees me and starts her panic rant about her leg and whether she will make it-she bent over still ranting to me while looking at her leg-I rub her back and tell her she's doing awesome, all down hill now-I tell her several times she can do it-she doesn't have an ounce of sweat on her-we hug, I blow her kisses and she runs away-Heather texts that she didn't see me at dam but I think I missed all the 1/2 marathoners-sorry-man this lady has the loudest mouth every-i'm sure the runners appreciate it but she is giving me a headache-Eric is heading my way-YAY!! theres Eric I'm teary eyed thinking how he was gonna run this with me-we hug-UGH-man, he is sweaty-his whole shirt is sopping wet-WHAT? Debbie is running it? SHE IS INSANE! SHE IS IN A PURPLE SHIRT? MISS'S LEG IS HURTING HER? OH MAN! YOUR DOING AWESOME! WAY TO GO! Nikki Vanoverbeck should be coming next-she will be easy to see-she's so tall-she has the longest legs-Aww there she is-she is wearing her yellow shirt-HI! YOUR DOING AWESOME! YOUR STOMACH LOOKS FINE TO ME! REALLY-IT LOOKS FINE! I LOVE YOU TOO! sweaty hug is given and she runs off-sigh-I should be running this-why do I have to like running-it gets me high-its like a drug-I'm just gonna have to do it next year-I wonder if Sol finished yet? Hey it Lori, Stephanie's sister-she looks miserable-she doesn't see me waving at her-she's unhappy-she looks beat-oh, she is doing great-her music must be loud she can't hear me yelling at her. Hey its Debbie! YOUR CRAZY! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAME! WHERE IS MISS? IS SHE HURTING? YES, I WILL TAKE YOUR BELT-this belt could never fit around my waist-I will wrap it around my arm-SHE IS IN A PINK SHIRT? GREAT JOB! YOUR AMAZING! hmmm I hope Melissa is ok-is that her? no-i'm gonna walk up a lil way-oh there she is-HEY! with my arm around her giving her a pep talk- NO I'M NOT GONNA MAKE YOU CRY! HOWS YOUR LEG? YOU CAN DO IT! YOUR ALMOST THERE! ITS ALL DOWN HILL NOW! YOUR DOING AWESOME! JUST FINISH IT-ITS ALL THAT MATTERS! wow-she's a trooper-she's in good spirits too-she will make it-shes doing great-she better not screw that leg up for Ragnar-I can't wait for Ragnar-I have to pee-I wonder if that cop will notice if I pee in a bush-what if I pee on my boot? I better wait till I get to Maverick-As I walk back to my car- I'm happy I saw everyone running the full and very proud of them-what great family and friends I have-As I arrive to pee at Maverick girl in running gear and bib is vomiting outside my car-she looks miserable-hmm not much fun at all-I finally speak to Nikki, Natalie, Sol, Eric and Miss to hear how it all went and decide that sounds horrible once you got past me-Later as the day goes on I decide its a good thing I didn't tell Mike I was gonna run a full next year I think I will just stick to half marathons-I don't want to hurt myself again or feel as miserable as they all did-Hmmm I better sign up for at least one in the fall-what is wrong with me? I have a problem? people must think I'm really weird-

After spending 4 months training for a marathon.....3 weeks away looks like I have to drop out. I have a stress fracture on my tibia and have been wearing a boot on my right leg for almost five weeks now-I have found it very interesting as I've hobbled around lop sided through out my normal day to day life how many strangers (mostly men) comment, joke or ask me about my boot. Typical day consists of talking to 3 new people a day. I consider myself to be a pretty friendly person but I have never, ever commented right off to someone I didn't know just because they were injured. Its been fun and annoying meeting new people everyday, hearing their funny jokes even if they aren't funny or I've heard it before, its been entertaining making up stories of why my leg is hurt. But 9 more days baby, 9 more days and me and this boot are breaking up.....I hope

Running Drama 

You spill water in your crotch, hang your pants out the window to dry and put them back on inside out.

The one thing I noticed from running Ragnar last weekend is how dramatic the person running is. Its a relay race with a team of 12 people and when its your turn to run then its your turn to be dramatic and all your friends in the car will support you and do whatever it is you want. These are only acceptable if your running, talk to people like this all the time and you wouldn't have any friends. You shout things like "I need grapes, now!" You yell "holy shiz" when they roll the window to ask how your doing. You yell "where the beep have you been?" You text the other team..hell...when you stop to catch your breath. You shout "I think I might crap my pants" and they don't think your gross they run and get you a change of pants. They understand you. I guess that's why you should only run and be in a car with people you love that will love you back and accept your crap. 

Big Money......

Last night I was watching Wheel Of Fortune with the family and almost peed my pants. Here are the letters posted............"W_ _ kie   _ _ _ kie ".  Being the Wheel of Fortune pro that I am I knew right off hand that the word was "walkie talkie" but this lady chimes in and shouts "Winkie Dinkie". What the hell? Hahaha what is that?? Crazy lady made my night and I assume will be getting crap from everyone in her life for the rest of it. 

Really? 

Sexiest man alive is Channing Tatum? Really? I guess if your into hot bodies with a Donkey Kong head then that works for you. All these women swoon and squeal over this dude and although I will admit his body is nice his head looks like DK's twin brother. Sorry Channing,  I disagree but I am sure Princess Peach thinks your hot stuff. 

Crap Or Really Smart? 

I think up a lot of crap, make up  a lot of crap, say a lot of crap. I am pretty much exploding with crap......or am I just really smart? Either way I have decided (from encouragement of others) to start documenting my crap. I will warn you now, I am easily entertained. So here goes.
