Another Day, Another Daycare...

Today was an important day, Mom (I), went on a mission to find the perfect daycare for little Armani. After laying in bed watching a few hours of Wife Swap and chatting on Facebook with Hammy, I got up and headed out to Dee's Doggie Den. It's only about 15 minutes from where I'll be living but more like a half hour from where I am now in Irving so I decided Mani would have to forgo the trip. Thanks to the lovely Dallas traffic it took more like 45 minutes to get there but it was well worth it. The place is perfect! They even have pools outside for the dogs to swim in. And even better, it's cheaper than where I took Mani in Louisville! The woman who gave the tour was super sweet and it's a really nice place. Afterwards we went to this Mexican restaurant a few doors down and I got a bean burrito but I forgot how enormous the portions are so I did a pretty pitiful job of finishing it all. After the meal we checked out the 24 Hour Fitness center down the street for a little tour. I'm excited to try spinning and get back into yoga. I've gotten lazy after the marathon. Not as interesting of a day as some others but I'm still happy. Tomorrow I get my keys, move some junk into the apartment and get my hair done and then it's my first weekend!

    Sounds like you had productive day. I'm sure your glad that you have someplace for Armani during the day while you're at work. So you're going to be a veggie eater huh?? Good luck with that and Yoga is great for the body, soul and mind. Take Care
    Love Ya!

Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 10K Race Recap

Wow, what a title right? Although I also could have titled it the greatest race of my life. Wanna know why? Yeah I thought you might. The week leading up to the race wasn't a great one. Stress at work, general grumpiness etc. etc. etc. So I really wasn't expecting much as far as performance but I wanted to get a 10K in really badly before the marathon relay this Saturday so I thought What the hell and signed up. The atmosphere at Komen events is like none other. Pink everywhere and people....so...many...people. For someone who hates crowds (i.e. ME) there are few things that will lure me to a crowded place. Races just tend to be one of those things. Anyway, there was a great survivors parade and all kinds of booths and music and general funness. What there wasn't plenty of was parking. Which I guess is the norm for an event of this caliber. Survivors' Parade Great Ladies I never got the chance to meet... Seriously packed at the start! Autumn Alexis, The Colonel and I g...

Lovin the Hills Race Report

Guess what I did this weekend??? I was a very good girl and asked my coach very nicely if I could please please please do the Lovin' the Hills 6 mile trail race and because he's the best he gave me the green light to participate . So, I did my very first trail race on Saturday! I'm not necessarily a stranger to trails but I definitely wouldn't say we're friends. Trail running goes on the same list as all of those really great athletes I "know" and am Facebook friends with and want to be able to be real friends with but I'm too intimidated to try. You know what I mean right? Anyway, I've run trails before and volunteered at many a trail race but I've never actually "raced" myself so this was going to be a fun new experience. The site wasn't far from my house and since I'd waited to sign up for various reasons, I didn't have to get up too too early to get there in time for race day registration. I drove to Jeffer...

My Life is Awesome

Do you ever just wake up, take a big breath of fresh air and feel totally grateful to be alive? Ok, so I don't. But I also don't wake up wishing I hadn't anymore and that is certainly something to be grateful for. You see, I went through a very long, very dark phase in my life where every day was not a blessing, I couldn't enjoy a pretty day and I begged the earth to swallow me whole. I had things on the horizon and did a pretty damn good job of faking every normal human emotion so no one knew what was going on. The only one I didn't have fooled was myself and unfortunately at that time, mine was the only voice I heard and the only opinion that mattered. Without going into detail I'll just say that there was a point when I hit rock bottom. And as I sat there and finally felt solid ground under me I realized that I was no longer falling. What was more important was I realized the true benefit of rock bottom, the ability to put your feet on the ground. When I ...
