"On Fire" - Eminem

A few things that are "on fire" these days:

KATE:

If you don't know / follow Kate.

you.
should.

Why?  well there are about 874 reasons but I'll give you two.

1.  She signs up for a marathon and BQ's.  Seriously.  3:35.  freaking. awesome.

2.  She and this [little self-promoting] shirt of mine . . . has never felt more zen / love - ever.

Love. that.

Go get em in Chicago girl!

Three more things that are on fire . . .

* my legs.  ummmm. ouch.  The 13 mile hill workout yesterday [I'm paying for it].  My hill training . . . . yikes, not so fabulous.  Why did I do 13?

* my wallet.  [Dear Nordstrom, please stop having such insane sales.  Thank you, Emz]

* my brain.  Have not been sleeping lately.  My brain just goes & goes & goes.  I feel relaxed when I get into bed - then whammo - brain. into. over. drive.

Few other random thoughts:

* I've decided I don't want flowers on V-day.  [now we'll see if the Pita reads this blog].  Instead I'd like him to replace the empty toilet paper roll with a new one.

* I wonder how many pairs of shoes I can pack into one carry-on for a weekend trip [and still have room for clothes].  This will deserve it's own post come Monday.

* Sad to report - if I have to include running shoes. . . . . I do [huff] own more shoes than the Pita.

* I'm thinking come August, September, October, November, December . . . I'll take a little break from entering every marathon I can.

* I can't wait Four more days.  awesome.  simply.  awesome.

Happy [my favorite day of the week] Thursday!

Got
anything
[family-reading ;) appropriate]
random
you
wanna
share?!

It's like THIS and like THAT and like THIS and uh

This [Dr. Dre] song made me happy, happy, happy while driving around yesterday.  Reminding me to ".... just chill, til the next episode...." [Matt-O, today is NOT the day to call me ghetto {again}] ;)

What?  You say you want all of my random bits of news?

You got it.  In random order, even.

*Feeling better?  Yes.  100%? No.  But I'll take 85% with a big toothy grin.

*I was called "unique" three times [no joke] over the weekend.  [by people who told me I should take it as a compliment].

*Waitress at dinner Saturday night said, "I get a good vibe from you" [seriously, how do you reply to that? .......ummmm, thanks, please don't spit in my food?!"

*Went to "The Grind" to get my Chocolate Bread pudding.  Have 4 lbs to put back on.  This is how I choose to do it. 
h e a v e n.

*But on the way there . . . I had to stop and say hi to my BMW 7 series Alpina.  Even the 2007 model is a thing of beauty.

*By man at Cabella's counter, "Anyone ever told you you look like ________?"  To which I replied, "Are you trying to sell this gun to me or make me shoot you with it?"

*Any guesses as to who you think he'd tell me I looked like? [mom, you don't get to answer this one]

*I bought a DPMS Panther .308 Semi-Auto Rifle - because I think every 5'9" blonde woman should have one & Cabella's boy swore the "X" [person I looked like] was "extremely attractive"  BIG FAT LIAR. 

*I finally realized that supermom/superwoman/superwife cape . . . . is partially over-rated.  Not to mention slightly [under] appreciated.  I have given up handed over my cleaning duties [65% anyway] to my new BFF "Eva".  Eva rocks.

*Eva was one of the three people who called me "unique".  And I pay her.

*Eva thinks I'm strange too [Kovas, you now have a partner in my strangeness].  "Mrs. Emily, you run to crazy music while looking at a wall.".  noted.  I still love her.

*We had family "Wii" night last night ----- I need to know how to upload VIDEOS.  No, I still will not upload  my "running man" but this wii video.........it's a must see.

*This will have to do for now --- but I did mention [during the wii fest] I did something to my deltoid while kicking the Pita's horse tail.

*Did my first trail run over the weekend [11 miles].  Yes, I hurt like crap.

*Didn't want to do the 800's today.  Mistakenly told the Pita, "Uggg, tell me I need to do the 800's today."     [my mistake]     He instead said, "You're going to look like an a*s in Utah [next marathon] if you don't."

Weird.  It worked.
