1/2 full?
1/2 empty?

Well, let's just say "training" has gone better than expected.  SO when my runs had been getting speedier . . . rather than celebrating . . . I called to have my dear sweet "Ed" serviced, as I swore it was giving me false positive results.

What?  I'm totally a glass is half full kind of girl.  ;)

Good great news.  Ed, is accurate.  YAY!  yay!  y a y !

SO I got this out of the way this morning at 5am [ugg].

So now to the fun stuff.

Allison at "Just Tri And Finish" tagged me for a Versatile blogger award.
YAY ME!

I like this twist though . . . Favorite Movies with 7 Random things about me related to the films.  Truth be told I have about 14 favorites but . . . here we go:

1.  Clueless. Always wanted that dang white Jeep Wrangler she drove.

Best quotes: 

"Helllooo that was a stop sign!"
"What?....I totally paused."
"And can I Remind you it does not say RSVP on the statue of liberty."

My personal fav:  "She's a full on Monet. Like the painting. From far away it's ok but up close it's a big ole mess."

2.  Can't Buy Me Love.  Awesome.

Patty: "Didn't you like, used to mow our lawn?"
Ronald Miller: "Yes, and you have the nicest pair of rhododendrons in town!"

Patty: "Rhodo-who's?"

The football big-guy:  "Quin-ton is in, let the fun begin!"

 RM little bro: "Cards with the tards. Who could beat a night of cards, chips, dips and dorks?!!"

3. Sliding Doors.  Love this one.
I posted about it [here] - a looooooooooooooong time ago.  It's one of my [personal favorite] posts.

4.  Jerry Maguire.  Before TC went all wack job.

GREAT quotes in this one:

"You had me at hello"
"Show me the money"
"D’you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?"
"You complete me."

Dicky Fox may have said it best – “Hey, I don’t have all the answers. In life, to be honest, I failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my wife. I love my life. And I wish you my kind of success.”


5.  Farris Bueller.  love this.  Pretty sure there are only about 3 lines I can't quote.

"He'll keep calling me, he'll keep calling me until I come over. He'll make me feel guilty. This is uh... This is ridiculous, ok I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go. What - I'LL GO."

"Ferris Bueller, you're my hero."
"The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh... you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school."

6.  Love Happens.
The only thing better than receiving flowers . . . .the card attached to the flowers.

"Poppysmic" - sound produced with smacking of lips - the best ever.

7.  Goonies.  childhood classic.

I'd trade him for his abs any day.

Do You Really Want To Hurt Me - CC

This is the only song that came to mind, for that entire gruling hour, I met with "A" yesterday.

A:  Hi Barbie!  Didn't wear your cute little belt?  What if you get thirsty while we chat?
Emz: Oh Ken, you are my knight in shining armour.  You will fight for me.  Die for me.  Deydrate for me.

[Fine.  What I did say was] . . . "Bite Me.  It's sorted.  let's move on".

Now, I love movie quotes almost as much as I love music titles. 

The problem is, working from home, I rarely get to share my unique talent with others. 

And the Pita, well he knows some movie lines but not the classics [i.e, Goonies, Better off Dead, Clueless, Tommy Boy, Airplane ("don't call me shirley" and the awesome sequels), Mr. Mom, Farris Buller, etc].  He knows more like Grease, Gone with the wind & the subtitled, Sci-Fi & kung-Fu type movies].  Which makes it pretty hard to crack a funny when no one around here gets it.

Wait ---- m a y b e , I'm just not funny?!?  Naaaaa. That can't be it.

But this quote pretty much sums up the last 7 days of my [running, race, personal] life:

Jack Butler: My wife and I went to the movies the other day, we saw Rocky. While I'm watching it, I'm thinking 'This guy has taken some falls' you know.


Auto Worker 1: Which Rocky was it? 1 or 2, or 3?

Jack Butler: I don't know. Three I guess. But...

Auto Worker 2: Hey, did the guy have a mo-hawk like Mr. T?

Jack Butler: OK forget Rocky. The point is... when you're down, not not exactly out... I mean, I mean you gotta hang tough... I don't know.

Auto Worker 1: Well Hang tough baby! Do what Rocky would do!

[walks out]

Auto Worker 1: He didn't see Rocky .
 
So guys, when the Running store guy asked me a few days ago "so how are you going to tackle this race? you going to break it down?  what will you do at mile 29?  what's your game plan for this 50 miler? "
 
And I paused, smirked then gave him a big white toothed grin and said, "to finish".
 
Even though this is NOT the answer he was looking/hoping for.
 
I'm not going to race this race.  Call me a wuss, if you want.  I'm just in it to finish.  And I'm totally fine with that.
 
But on the subject of "Ken". I don't need him.
