i was going to turn tonight but i took a little nap and that nap lasted until after it was dark. ugh. i wanted to run yesterday and that didn't happen. i guess i will have to use the exercise boke tonight
that's just so boring.
i want my endurance back.

pb hacked me into staying up too late last night. he always goes to sleep first and goes to sleep early. so i kept doing stuff until finally i noticed it was an hour past our bed time.
i'm so tired.

ha

i guess i was in hate so much that i didn't realize i made that nice short post after i returned. so then i complained again.

UGH

my run sucked. i hate my shins. and now i'm getting more and more out of shape. did 2.25 miles. wanted to do 3 or 4.
it was way too humid os maybe that's why my times sucked. or why i did my 9th lap as a bob instead of running full out.
but i guess i was hitting my targets (almost) of 2:30 laps. i actually did 15 sec better on the first 3 so i slowed up but then i couldn't go faster if i wanted to.
my face was a very nice shade of red when I was done.

i only made it 9 laps today before the shins hurt
i hate this

Tonight I got home at 10:15
Last night 9:45
the night before about 10
the night before was 9:15

I'm too old for this

my friends page is lacking in updates. it's sad times when i go to my friends page and then there aren't any new updates. it's even sadder when this happens multiple days in a row.

i used to go to the gym everyday and like it
now i seem to try to come up with an excuse not to go
sometimes numerous excuses.

i had bacon, eggs, pancakes, and toast for breakfast.
then i remembered i wanted to take my measurments this morning since i haven't in almost 2 months.
I should also take progress pictures. I haven't since May 30. Today is the first day I looked at the ones from May 30. I have older ones. Maybe if i get them to a good file size, i'll post some. a little busy today though.
I was looking at th epics and they don't even look good. i feel i look better than the pictures show. I always do. you cant tell i have muscles or anything.
i'm also getting fat according to the scale.
i'm slacking at exercising lately.
I've been doing shin exercises though. I may do them as soon as I make this post so that they get done today before i get dressed and we start heading places.

i need some sort of thing that will post my twitters to here. pb knows someone who did that but that application or whatever is no longer around.

my fingernail is stained orange from doritos that I ate yesterday.

I want to see if there si a way to rearrange my craft room. I also need a new desk chair. i want one without arms so that i can actually push my chair in further. i want to switch where my mac and dell are.

We named my dell "foggy." Our basement computer is shady. our family room computer is sunny.

I also should get to updating my website. that picture on the home page is so old. I should make new LJ icons. These are all so old.

I thought about geting a hair cut today. going somewhere for it. i just don't know where to go.

finished doing my shin exercises
maybe i'll do laundry since laundry needs to get done and i don't know what we're doing for the day.

gmat is over.
they gave a score for verbal and quantitative. did worse than i thought on math and better than i thought on verbal.
the writing is probably horrible.

i'm starting to get really stressed about the gmat tomorrow
i don't even know where the test is.
it's at 8am.

ugh 12 hours. less than that

stuff

i went running tonight. i haven't been because of my shins. well i thought they were getting better. haven't hurt in days. I was wrong. they didn't even last as many laps as last time.

I consistently drop 2 or so seconds off my lap time from before (even though i keep doing laps) but after so many (not a lot) i'm too dead. if it was a 1 mile race i think i would be good.

Today i only lasted to middle of lap 8. last time it was middle of lap 10. ugh
i did get my fasted 1 mile time yet. 8:49 and during that mile i read and responded to a text.

my warmup lap was pretty quick for reading an email and writing a full sentence reply. i'm beginning to think my iPhone is a bad idea as my timer.

Emily and I decided earlier today that it wouldn't be a good idea for either of us to do a 5k on August 1. me because of my shins and her because of hosting a house warming/engagement party later that day.

Today i wore my hair up. I wore a blue scarf i got a relay for life. I got told i looked cute by my manager (a female so don't get any ideas). and someone else told me I had been looking cute lately. maybe one of them said pretty because i don't get called cute and especially not twice in one day.
i think it's all the lifting. so i look nicer.

so far i only have up to G for phone numbers entered in my phone. I have email addresses from google. we forgot to have at&t copy my numbers over for me. i counted and i only have 58 numbers in the phone. i never got the numbers from my last phoen to this phone and ended up only copying over half of them last time.

but now that i have an iPhone, i need to get more emails. I should see if there is a way to get LJ posts on there. I never set up facebook app. I actually didn't set up most apps. I set up 2.

I meant to review for the gmat tonight. ooops.

working out

i did body pump today
2nd time this week.
3rd time ever
i upped the lunge track. forgetting that last time my legs were shaking by the end.
then i realized it was that track that made me lightheaded not the one after. but i handled myself and shook off the blacking out. i did the next track with 1kg in each hand instead of 2.5 like they said. (that's 2.2 lbs instead of 5 lbs. man makes it seem like it should be easier)

my knee didn't hurt on the squat track. it was just very hard to do.

i got my iphone
i need to spend time figuring it out. but i dont really have time.

i'm so tired right now because ive een staying up too late. too late doing work.

Tonight i dont feel like doing anything but I should be productive but it's already bedtime.

Obama's press conference ate up my evening. I didn't even get to watch regular TV.

Sunday

today i went to sleep at 12:30 or so but didn't fall asleep right away. then i woke up at 1:40. 2 i went to walk at the relay for life. I think i did 11 laps. 3:15 or so came home. went on the computer. then went to sleep.
around 9 or so i started waking up often but i'd go back to sleep. i finally woke up at 11
didn't get anything done until 1:30 when we headed to my aunts.
I hate too much.

then aroudn 3 or 4 my cousin showed up with the baby. He was shy at first. around 6:00 he liked me though.
I left shortly after 7
and got home an hour later
then had dinner (only a little. still full)
then watched big brother and then the listener.

and now i'm mad that all weekend i didn't read my gmat book it took me 2 naps worth to make it through 1 page of telling me about reading comprehension. i learned verbal section is intermixed and if there is a story, the story is on the left and then 1 question at a time on the right half of the screen. silly naps. i need to get to practicing the verbal section.

today i got pb to hang out with me saying we could go to breakfast. he already ate. we went to mcd's
it sucked.
well he liked it. i didn't. i never do though. i tried something new today.
then we went to panera. i got a bagel and soup
i ate my bagel before my soup came up.
so i had 2 breafkasts and 1 lunch so far today.
i was so full i couldn't move.

I don't seem to post here as much as I would like.

I want to go running but i can't. Callie told me not to run until these shins feel better. It makes me so mad.

I'm doing the Relay for Life tonight (9-10pm and 2-3am). I also wanted to visit the baby when I'm that close to McKeesport but I don't know if he'll be around.

I have a ton of freckles on my arms. I wish i also had a little bit of tan. oh well.

Everyday Dave tells me i'm on the wrong computer. I'm still using my mac instead of my dell.

1 week until the gmat. Man am I going to suck.

i just took my hair out of the ponytail and it's wet
i took my shower at 8am.

i forgot about the cop on the way to work. stopped in the lane. talking to a cyclist while another one sat in the ditch. with both their bicycles were against the grass

lots of things

today was such a bizarre day

I ran in the morning before work. It's the 2nd time. I only lasted until the middle of the 10th lap before my shins started killing me.

I then came home, showered, got ready, took my picture because my face was still red


(This shirt for a better view. regular black pants and my grandma shoes)
and then headed to work. After my shower I just threw my hair up in a pony-tail almost bun thing. Up until about 4:00PM it was still damp where it was all smashed together.
My cheeks also stayed red then pink until about 11:00AM

I think it's only the third time i've worn my hair up. The other 2 times I used a claw thing and this was the only time with regular ponytail holders. The other 2 times I wore turtle necks too.
Well all day today I got compliments about my appearance. I got compliments about being all dressed up. Mind you in that picture from 2 weeks ago to the day I was wearing much fancier shoes and the same shirt. I had on a fancier necklace last time too. I think I got more compliments today than the last year put together. Also I noticed people eyeing me.

Then after work I headed to the gym. The cleaning guy thought I was a new trainer. Then after I said no, he introduced himself to me. He gave me a fist bump instead of shaking hands. it was weird since he's probably in his 40s. His name is Rico.

Then today the workout was so good. I was able to increase weights. I did more than normal and i felt great. I had gotten so weak by the end that lifting up my purse and gym bag were so hard like they were heavy even though they weren't. I love that.

I came home to find the top coat put on our driveway and also almost all our neighbors on our side of the street. We are all parked on the road.

exercise/running

I almost ran before work. that didnt happen. i was going to go at lunch and work out and right when i was about to leave the help desk called to take care of the problem of me not receiving all my emails. then i wanted to go after work but i had to get an allergy shot and decided to meet dave for dinner and he wouldn't wait. then at 8:45 i wanted to run but then dave said he was watching big brother (from yesterday) so i didn't go then. that's 4 times today that I didn't exercise but thought about it.

slippery slope to not exercising anymore.
I'm going tomorrow morning for sure!

should I do a 5k on August 1? Since July 1, I only ran once. That was a slow jog. I also don't think i have a buddy to hang out with before and after.

it took me a long time to get home from work today. stupid construction. i forgot about it. i knew after 6pm they go down to 1 lane but i didn't process it really
i think it took me 45 min to get home. I wish could ahve done a U turn and then figured a new way home but I didn't have a GPS so i was scared.

Why is it that when I give training with someone else, they mess up so I have to correct them and then on the course evaluations, they get positive remarks and im not mentioned

i got a twitter

i got a twitter earlier today. my name was too long. it was quite annoying. i tried and tried to come up with a new name. all good ones were taken.
http://twitter.com/SmilinColleen
I am going to try to find something that will post my twitter updates to here but I don't know if it will happen.

birthday cake

i gave daddy some of the leftover b-day cake. i thought i kept about 6 pieces worth
dave and i had that tonight for dessert. we each had 2 pieces.
i feel like i'm going to throw up

to help my mom's church out next weekend i'm walking the relay for life from 2-3am.
also walking 9-10pm too.

in-laws

the in-laws drove me absolutely insane.

bad sign

it's a bad sign when you are asked "is this a weed or a plant?" because the weed is so large.

silly alarms

I've been up for awhile
but my alarm just went off
i had to run to turn it off
others heard it who were sleeping. i could tell.

the in-laws arrived. their flight was about an hour late. so we got home close to midnight. took an hour for the tour or so i guess since it's 1:00 now. it's way past our bedtime.

it is so hard to wake up. I'm so tired.

i had a dream about a big spider. it woke me up.

i found a watch that's been missing for 8 months or so.

i didn't have any pictures of my craft room
i spent an hour cleaning off the desk

picasa album

hard to believe this is clean huh.

i also wondered if it counted as cleaning if i moved stuff from one desk to the other.

cleaning is not fun. also i'm so hot.
i brought work home to do. looks like i'm not getting it done today.

I worked so long today.

then i went to the gym. i hadn't lifted for my arms since june 26. and it's surprising how hard every thing was that i was trying to do. not good. i did liek 1/3 a workout. oops.

hair

i just added layers to my hair
i had layers before. i cut 2 inches and then an inch. so it's more layers overall.
i'm no sure if it looks good.

today we went to the cheesecake factor for lunch. but we didn't leave until 2:00pm. i was a little lightheaded by that time. then we came home. and then i took a nap. 2.5 hour nap. oops. i could probably stil fall back to sleep.

run

I ran a 5k today

about 31 min. i started late so many people. it took me about 30 seconds to cross the start line (I thin it was actually 31:24 but i said about 31 because of not starting right). i was so mad i didn't have a watch.
it was so hilly


i hit 2 miles at 20 min
my shins killed me.
it was entirely on roads

so it was the first i ran on roads and the first i ran on hills since the surgery. actually since i lived at deauville park

I beat haley by over a minute

i didn't walk at all.
i didn't push myself or sprint at the end. i feared messing up my knee.
this 8 yr old or so sprinted by me at the end. she had someone there cheering for her.
pb wouldn't go to cheer for me.

i finished and went back to before the finish and cheered for haley.

i'm so stressed out about this 5k it's crazy

well my "holiday" is over.
today i went to the movies. went to target, weedwacked. and i don't know what else but i've been up since 8.

we cooked dinner tonight
it took forever
the potatoes burnt
so i made mashed potatoes impromptu instant
more of the burnt taters got eatten than the mashed taters. i think because they didn't have a nice container so it wa a pot with a lid.

running

i ran before work today
it didn't go well.
i don't think i'll do it again
or if i do i won't have worked out the night before almost right before I went to bed.

i'm up
and i'm so tired
i can either go running or go to work early

i gave pb a haircut today
i went to the mall today.

i didn't do what i thought I should do.

32:37

first mile 9:20
2nd mile 10:26
3rd mile 11:35
last .1 mile 2:16

i get worse as i go. need some endurance.

nap

i was just trying to reveiw for the GMAT
i read how to do 2 qestions. then i took a 2.5 hour nap.

I just signed up for a 5k race in aw eek
at the momen thte max i've done is 2 miles. so i'm 2/3 there. this probably is a little too soon. oi

today the entire time i worked out i just wanted to stop and leave. not a good sign

i lifted weights today.
it was hard.
it was too quiet in the gym. i felt i was being stared at. i couldn't take it.
i didn't finish my workout.

I had a stmapin' up party tonight. It went long. It was fun. We had chicken salad first. Dave made the chicken. it was very good.
My craft room is too messy. i almost can't work at all under these conditions.

I have been busy this week so far. I didn't even bring my work computer home the past 3 days!

we went to see the hangover today. it was such a funny movie. best one i've seen in awhile.
i have a ton to do but at least i thought thoughts of that comedy in my mind while i'm getting things done.

i'm mad
stressed
worked up
depressed
upset

ugh
so many things

and i'm hungry and i didn't eat lunch yet.

the other day i found the ice pack in the fridge.


only 2 more days working in monroeville.

i don't understand how i can use an ice pack. go for a run and totally misplace the ice back.

today i stretched and forgot to stretch my groin. well then after 6 laps my groin hurt and i had to limp . shows ya how stretching helps

my knee hurts today because i did the body pump class and i think i went down to low on those squats or something and we did so many of them.

today i ran must faster early on but still only ran 30 seconds faster than yesterday (for 2 miles)

but now that i analyze it last time i wote stuff down every so often and still had the timer running. so yesterday was probably better. sigh

dave made fun of how i write what i did down. he said can't you just do # of laps and overall time. nope. i need to improve all my splits. sheesh.

we went to olive garden last night.
i didn't get salad but i got soup. i didn't even finish the bowl. i spent too much time eating 90% of the appetizer. so good.
i almost didn't touch my meal but didn't want it to look that way so i ate 3 bites of chicken and a few bites of the potatoes

i stayed up past my bedtime

we watched the penguin game taped so we didn't start it until 9:30 or so. We could fast forward through intermissions so we only ended about an hour late

today

i took a 20 min walk during work (2pm)

went to the gym around 3:45 and was done walking to the car after at 5:15 so i got probably an hr and 15 of weights

then i got home and we went to the track. 2.5 miles in 30 m in. the track was rough because i had upped all my weights at the gym so i couldn't open my stride as much as i want. like i ran an 800 in 5 min instead of 4 min

i did an 800, 1200, 200 walking, 600, 200 (walking), 600, 200 (walking), then cooldown. = 10 laps

instead of buying a wedding card timmy bought a smypathy card for the wedding that we went to yesterday.

and i let dave pick the amount we were going to give.
he gave something that ended in 26 cents. i laughed so hard. i fell over. i said that was something timmy would do.
then timmy said that his was ending in 64 cents.
oh man

gift

i just put together a gift for gram
too bad there aren't any holidays coming up so i'll just give it to her and then when it's holiday time i'll be out of ideas.

man was i tired tonight
i am tired now
i barely made it through dinner

i almost didn't go to the gym. but then i went and worked out for an hour adn 45 min and my face turned beat red. it was so hot in the gym today.

i signed up to take the gmat.
i'm already getting stressed.
i take it in about a month and a half.

shoes

i wore my new shoes today . well one of the pairs.
they are pointy.
i felt like a witch.
but the heels were comfortable. they were bigger than i normally buy but actually the size my foot measures. they have ankle straps so then i don't flop around
i think they were a 4" heel
so now tomorrow it's back to my flats but at least i got to be tall for a day.

oh and i really am sick of going right to the track after i finish eating and the last 2 times i even ate too much.

i try so hard

i try so hard to count. i really do. i just can't seem to do it. just like in cross country when we did those fartlick (sp) things where you run, walk, and jog and repeat. and i could do the 1 min of this 2 of that 3 of that but i couldn't tell you how many sets of those 3 things i did. i never could.

today we were at the track 30 min. counting walking to and from the car and taking 3 min to stretch
i really didn't know if i did 7 8 9 or 10 laps
we decided it wasn't 7
and it wasn't 10
i ran a 400. stretched
ran a 400
walked 100
run 100
a laaop of stuff (i can't even remember that)
then i started running a mile at 16:02
26:40 i finished running said mile (that's 4 laps there and i ran straight through so that i could count. the first 2 laps were at 5 min 1 second so it looks like my pace slowed)
then walked the last half lap and to the car and that took almost 4 min.
so 14 min = 4.5 laps
how many laps were there in 13 min (stretching was 3 min). i ran faster at the beginning i learned when i walk between things and walk 100 m that i do that in 1 min so if i walked it all i'm on pace for a 16 min mile.
first lap was liek 2 min
then i stretched
then 2 min 10 seconds for the next 400
so now i have 6.5 laps accounting for and 9 min left.

i'm guessing i did 9 lap. who knows though

i listened to the ipod today. the arm band fits now. i guess i got a fat enough arm now.
today i ran a 200 somewhere in there and i did that in 53 seconds. so that's pretty good. faster than half my 400 time but slower than double my 100 time.

it was raining today and 50 degrees.

i watched the pens game tonight.
i was outside and watched it on a huge screen
but it was cold.
i'm still cold from it.

i stayed up too late.

progress pictures

i took progress pictures (but don't post them)
i showed them to dave. he said my ribs make it look like i have a 6 pack.
stupid poking out ribs are so annoying.
i took measurements and when i flex my bicep my measurement 10.75 instead of 10 in resting. but i did the measuring myself with my other arm so i'm not sure how exact that is.


the progress pictures actually make me feel less like i'm making progress.

i bought 4 pairs of shoes today.
i'm like a chick or something.
i didn't even get what i watned. you can't even find white shoes at stores anymore. so i still have to buy those.

no gym for me today. it's late already.
i think i will read and use the exercise bike and then i'll get out my work computer to do a few things. I didn't get everything done that I wanted to today.

The stampin' up party went alright. I think 2o f 5 that were here are ordering. 2 people cancelled at the last minute. 3 or 4 people who didn't come are ordering.

i spent roughly 2:20 at the gym today but the first part was with a trainer.

then i stoppped at giant eagle on the way home, we cooked inner and it was awesome.
then we watched 24 and now it's bedtime.
i hope the house is clean enough for my party tomorrow.

a year ago

i have 2 canvas bags and 3 small boxes to go through of papers and junk that i accumulated.

i found this one sheet of my exercises but don't know the date
i think last summer
total 2.43 mile. 242 cal (so must have been a treadmill)
35 min total
6 min walk
1 min 6.0 mph
6 min walk
1 mn 6.0 mph
6 min walk
1 min
5 min walk
2 min
3 min walk
rest was cooldown 3mph or something

i remember when i would try to use the treadmill there my knee couldn't handle more than a min or 2 of running so i tried breaking it up to get more cardio in. and i think on the "walking" i would read a book.

i wish i had a long eekend every weekend

today

today we went to north park and walked the loop around the lake. i thought it was a 3 mile loop. but it was a 5 mile loop. took an horu and 53 min. the first 3 miles we did in 20-21 min each but then slowed up. it was hot. or got hot. i was proud of dave though.

then we went to cheesecake factory at ross park mall.
then i came home and finished pumping up my athletic ball i forget the official name.
then i mowed and did some yard work. an hour and 20 min worth.
the day flew by.

excerise

yesterday i ran for 12 minutes
6.2 mph for roughly 6 and a half minutes
then 5.5 mph for 3.5 min
then for 2 min 5.7mph

i typed my running yesterday but apparently didnt' post it

today i only ran 5 min warmup then i lifted for 2 hours.

tonight

yardwork sucks and takes too much time

i was going to mow the back half of the yard to make it even. 2 nights ago i mowed the front half
instead we aerated the dirt in the patches without grass. dug out patches of rock. found a patch that had dry cement and when we watered to make the dirt easier to work with it was hardening up. it was heavy and not fun. we filled big holes with top soil but not them all because our 2 bags of soil weren't enough. then we put grass seed down, and then this stuff that makes it grow better/faster. i added more dirt around the plant we planted. we added mulch to that entire area. then i put mulch around our one tree. do you know the fabric is still around the tree? you can see it. i thought you get rid of the fabric when you plant stuff. guess i was wrong. even though i added mulch to the tree our neighbors (206) still have much higher mulch beds. i'm pretty sure this took from 6:30 until now.

guess we have to save mowing for another night.
i'm filthy.

shopping

i bought running shoes
and workout shirts
and more workout shirts
and workout tank tops
and a sports bra
and athletic capri things (that go to about your calf)
and a stop watch
what fun

i'm so tired. i'm going ot try to go to sleep. lets see if this works.

comedy

i'm about to go mow the lawn while pb cooks dinner.

last night we stayed up later than normal.
pb woke me up earlier than we get up for work.
i guess this gives me more time to get my lengthy to do list done.

today we went to the pirate game. we left between the 8th and 9th inning. we were winning 1-0 when we left. we lost 3-1 though

tomorrow i have 4 places to go. i think i'll only go to 2 though.

today i didn't spend as long working out
at 5:00 my admin told me that my manager said to go home and that we could "leave early" because of the pens game. does she not understand flex time. and 5:00 is not early

i spent an hour and 50 min working out today at the gym

painting

spent 3 hours or maybe 2.5 hours today painting.
i got the first coat on the other 2 walls and then the 2nd coat on the 2 walls i painted last night.
pb came and helped at one point. only the one part. and i think it's all messed up. there are distinct lines where the roller went because he didnt go over it in multiple ways.

i keep having dreams that i'm in some sort of classes (the type vary) and i'm not getting mys tuff done on-time.

i didn't really have any plans this weekend so i thought i could get caught up on all kinds of stuff that has been on my to do list. well tonight after dinner we picked out a paint color and i started painting. i have 2 walls painted but it's bed time.

today when i paid at kohl's the lady said "happy mother's day"
it's not mother's day.
and i'm not a mom

update

wow it's been awhile since i posted. i am quite the slacker
last weekend i was busy. saturday i did some running around
sunday friends came over to scrapbook. saturday was national scrapbook day but kelly wouldn't have been back from korea yet so we did sunday.
monday i went to my yearly dr appointment and she said "whoa" when she saw my plantar fasciia... yet it was barely swollen all. now i have to go to a podiatrist.
Tuesday i ended up goign to dinner with my parents. we waited an hour an a half. my mom wanted to go to mad mex.
wednesday i got home at 8:15pm from work and ate dinner. then i worked until i went to sleep
it took me 2 hours to fall asleep and then i woke up all the time during the night

today i left work "early" so that we could pick dave's car up from the shop. the check engine light came on on tuesday. so wednesday I drove my car to work.
tonight i caught up on reading LJ. now i might watch a TV show.

the norm for the past few weeks has been getting home from work after 8pm.
also the norm has been getting to work earlier than normal because of early meetings.

i ran 1 mile in 10 min today (10:03 actually)

i mowed
i have been so busy with work that i don't get anythign done at home.

i just got home. the earliest all week. i didn't go to the gym today so i have to exercise at home. i have way too much to do. today i think i spent about 8 hours in meetings and on the phone. maybe longer because the na-ygn meeting was at lunch. oh and i skipped a 2 hour meeting



i was told today that i can meet my deadline; i just can't sleep until may 6.

shopping

ann taylor... i had a coupon that i forgot to use last time. 20% off. so i went tonight. the lady even remembered me from last time and remembered what i bought. was talking to me while i was checking out and i didn't pay attention to the total. even when i signed the thing on the screen i thought that it was probably wrong since i didn't pay attention and then i thought how i'm always pessimistic so it probably was ok. well i did not get the 20% off. i didn't get any discount. ugh.

today i jogged for 10 minutes
it really feels like an eternity. then you get so high and the amount left is liek nothing compared to what you ran and then it's easy.

finally

i finished scoring all the letters of recommendation for the WIN scholarship. I just need to put them in the master file
then get to the rest of my stuff on my to do list
i have 4 of 9 done so far.

belt

today i changed out of my jeans and into shorts to finish mowing
then i went to put back on the jeans, and the belt was broken. it broken at the point of contact with the belt look directly above my butt. poor belt. now i need a new brown belt.

boy am i tired
timmy just left
it's too hot
i mowed the lawn today

i jogged on a treadmill today
i jogged for 8 min. well less since it takes a few seconds to set it up.
i went straight for 8 min
i impressed myself. i didn't think i was in enough shape and also didn't think my knee could handle it.
the first half mile i did in about 6:30.

we went to mad mex tonight (7 of us) i about died from my nacho cheese being hot. but some people got "insane" for their buffalo wing level of hotness and they turned all red from those.

it's so late. i didn't get to exercise yet.
I have so much to do.

my craft room is soo messy that it's not workable. my laptop is under a bunch of crap so I havne't used it in a few weeks.

my allergies are so bad. i can't breathe. i could barely drive home. i was sneezing entirely too much.

update: Kelly's Wedding, Dresses

i danced to 1 song on because they forced all married couples. then about halfway through my knee did not like the pounding/movement in the heels i wore. so my knee hurt the rest of the night

dave was willing to stay at that wedding longer than any wedding it seems. i actually was the one that said to leave (at 10something) because i wanted to get home and ice my knee. but i got home and never iced it.

the mother of the bride was trying to get everyone to dance to this sq dance. i said i had knee surgery 2 months ago and she left me alone. i would be dead if i did that.

today is orthodox easter. we call it russian easter. to help with my super busyness. i canceled my one plans today with coworkers even though i've been waiting for the start of people to hang out outside of work.

so my dress was too big yesterday and i was mad. after i got home i tried on all my dresses. the one that fits (the only one that fits right) is from 10th grade. all the rest are way too big around the waist. i have a wedding to go to in a month so i may be wearing an old dress instead of the new one. unless i can talk my mom into altering a dress or 2 for me. she did comment that they'll fit later. i don't know how my waist got small since it was before i really started working out. i was just doing different knee exercises. i keep running out of time so i don't do them ALL and i'm not sure which exercise even helps make my waist small.
maybe i should buy a sewing machine myself. i sewed in 8th grade and then that summer, i sewed some of my own stuff. but i forget how to do stuff now since it's been so long

some creepy guy sat next to me at the wedding. we had 2 empty seats and this guy was a helper to the DJ. he kept talking and what he said was creepy. a coworker was also the photographer for the wedding. i wish i would have known him when we had ours because he's good and cheap (cheap because he doesn't advertise much or anything so he doesn't have those costs.


yesterday morning we also surprised my mom for her birthday. timmy came home for a week. then we went to lunch right at 11 to texas roadhouse.
