Thank you.
Yesterday turned out being pretty freaking great.
Went to pick up Peanut. We made eye contact.
and
she
started
running.
running to me, in my car.
P: mom. mom. I got 1st place in the 200!
Me: [of course you freaking did, and I didn't get to see it] No way! You rock kid!
P: it was fun!
Me: awesome! I can't believe you got 1st place!!
P: Yep, first place out of three kids!
c l a s s i c .
That's my girl.
Fast forward. . . .The Pita had a basketball game. . . .fast forward . . .
In-N-Out [burger] Thursday!

Thursday.
Fast Forward . . . home.. . . .fast forward . . .
Pita: have your phone? Let me check something on your phone.
Me: you. bet. cha.
Pita: ummm, why is there a photo of a .45 on your blog today?
[he reads . . . 64 people commented on THAT?]
Me: [glowing/happy/in awe] I know, right?! They rock.
Pita: seriously. People listen to you moan and complain and gripe then build you up? I didn't even know you were having a bad day!
[he pauses]
Pita: Do you have their addresses?
Me: Well, I may have a few on my phone due to RUN EMZ shirts.
Pita: Should I send cash or checks?
loved. it.
we went on to talk for a few minutes about this.
words/thoughts I remember:
* cheaper than therapy.
* amazing
* supportive
* hand holding
* one crazy understands another
* endurance athletes = a whole other breed
* you should copy/print that
* lucky/blessed
Awesome.
Fast Forward . . . . this morning . . . .
I'm finally ready to show off this:
you bet cha.
Only on my right foot. Weird.
So. worth. it.
Well until my marathon this Sunday. ouch.
Fast Forward . . . 5 minutes before school drop off.
Peanut: Mom. I like this dress. [one I'm selling] try it on.
Me: Ya, I like it. okay, I'll try it.
Peanut: The arm holes are too big.
Me: only as to accommodate my huge guns.
Peanut: whatever. My muscles are bigger.
Me: [uhhhh huuuuuuhh whaaaa?] let's have a contest!
{I know, right who has a bicep contest with their 10.5 year old? ----- me!!!!}
Soooooo. who. won?
You. pick.
But you better hurry.
Guess who just got invited to watch the last 1/2 day of Field Day?
Yep. Me.
Who cares if it's from my car?
I've got a great zoom lens for my camera.

Congrats to your girl - that's awesome!
Love the shoes, hey you're lucky, your heels gave you a little bruise - my high heels that I tried to rock in Los Angeles made me fall down and sprain my ankle - excellent. (Well it was probably more the cocktails than the shoes… but still.)
xo
Yay Peanut, and Yay for heels. At first I thought you got a tattoo.
Tell Pita that's what Blends are for. (I didn't even know this was a term until a few days ago. Blog + Friend = Blend. Hmm.)
Think she was made for running? JK! Nice job and SO glad your day took an upturn yesterday.
That's so wonderful that you got to see the second half of field day. I can only hope that I get invited someday too!
:) sweet
glad to see your arms match your abs-nice and ripped.
go EMZ go
I love in and out.
you both have some pretty sweet guns, i'm not voting.
happy friday!
ha, peanut rules the 200! Woot!
I'm with Jennifer, your arms match you abs! sweet, Peanut's got some guns too though! ;) Have fun at you 82nd Marathon this year. Wow and it's only February. Hahaha, it just seems like your 82nd! :) I seriously don't know how you do it, amazing!

This is a much happier post!!!
Rock the road and enjoy the reward for all your hard work!!!!!
Aouch...
Good job Peannut!!! and see there is hope after all!!! you know maybe it is a bit of pressure for her to run in front of her rock star runner mom...even if you don't put any pressure on her she may put it on herself..my kid does that for school. all the best for your marathon this weekend!
cheers to you!
Love the shoes --- worth the bruise. YAY for field day and Peanut!
Happy Friday!
Yay peanut!
Awesome heels!
Sweet guns!
There was an opportunity for cash? To me?
Nobody.
Told.
Me.
Jeez. Nobody.
Good job PN.
In all seriousness, have as good as of a race as she did!
Way to go Peanut! Yay that you get to see the last 1/2 day of Field Day! I could never walk in those shoes, I don't know how you do it!

The apple never falls far...
Those shoes rock. I'd kill myself in them!
I love reading your blog...it never ceases to make me crack a smile! Thank you.
I love the gun contest but I can't wait for you and Peanut to RACE each other!
Yay for a better day! :-D
:)
Only the blogging world really knows how we feel from day to day don't they.
One crazy understands another crazy--sounds about right.
Have a great weekend--Race!
Love everything about this post.
YAY!!! for better days! :)
congrats Peanut!!!!!
I wish I could get my hubbs to read this. Your husband's response to the support you get from blogging is awesome. My hubbs = jealous of blogging. Hummmm. But that's a whole other topic.
This post simply made me feel happy for you. This day was filled with happiness. I'm gonna borrow some of it and carry it with me this weekend. Thanks!
When I was little my dad would have arm length contests with me. He would tell me that MY arms were longer. I would protest, but he's tell me he could prove it. We'd stand next too each other, and he'd say "see, your arms hang lower, which means they're longer." As a wee lass I knew he was wrong, but didn't know why.
making me smile and I think Peanut may have you in a year or so! Enjoy your ZOOM view today!
I love this post! Pita cracks me up! SOunds like Peanut is already an athlete, speed and guns!
I agree with Jen--your arms match your abs--so envious. When are you modeling for Athleta? Seriously. Look a those girls, then look in a mirror. Ditto.
You were born for watching field day!
This post made me smile throughout the whole thing! I loved it!
Yay for Peanut getting 1st! And, YAY for you being invited to see the rest of field day! :)
Field day from your car-ha! I secretly watched my daughter run the mile for gym class from the press box above the track:) She may or may not have heard me shouting over the loudspeaker....
Yeah-don't even mention shoes and scars. I'm only 5'8 so I need 4 inch heels because my husband is 5'10......They are worth every blemish.
Good luck this weekend! This is really a great blog! I get way behind reading blogs sometimes but when I catch up, I always smile when I read yours!
Yay Peanut! Love the shoes!
It is so nice to be invited! ;-)
I am always impressed by your shoes :)
Tell Peanut sorry, but mom's got the upper arm.
But then congratulate her on her awesome win!
He can send me a check anytime. haha.
Its better than therapy anyday!
and yes, you have guns!
LC
I was you- 30 years ago.
I guess I have been under a rock.
Whiskey Row! Circa 1981- My best marathon-led in first until the last mile. then cramped up and placed 3rd-but I STILL love that marathon!
Keep it up...and you too can still be running (marathons) when you are 60...
Well, it appears as though she is cheating by putting her arm on a chair or something? ;)
Peanut is a total rock star!
Great for Peanut ... just like Mom!
PITA plays basketball? Huh go figure!
Keep those girly pics coming!
Your blog took me on an emotional journey today. I smiled. I winced. Then I smiled again. It was a mostly happy journey.
Awww, so happy your day improved! Literally LOL'd at PITA's comment. I'll take cash. :)
nice job peanut! Sounds like field day was a success!
hilarious on the arm competition, I bet peanut will look just like Mom later on, haha
and on PITA's comments, hilarious!
Yay for Peanut! I REALLY hope my new shoes don't bruise me, or I will really hear it!
1/2 day of Field Day = major happiness! So glad she had a change of heart, I saw your face smile all the way to Denver! :)
Looks like things are happy in ALL areans - yay! Make sure you have fun in the race, ok!?! No feeling bad if the weather makes it blah, this one's about the fun! :)
xo
Peanut!!!
GL on the marathon!!
D
Hi;-)

It's a little hard to write from all the "fast forwarding", but congrats the win and her running up to you. Oh, those were the days.
That foot looks painful.
Sorry, I got distracted. Congratulations to your daughter! Whoo hoo! A mini Emz in the making!
Great shoes.... You are right.... so worth it!
Congrats to your daughter that's awesome.And I must say it's hard to chose between the pair of you for winner of the biggest guns :)
LOL! Coming late to the party, took off early on Friday and missed this :)
I have to give you the guns haha!
Love the PITA, he gets it... in his own way. Cash or Check?! :)
Have a great week!
