Thanks Sam!

Due to the St. Patty's day festivities last night today's regularly scheduled run has been cancelled. I'll make up for it tomorrow, when I'm no longer seeing double.

I was browsing my friend Samantha's blog this morning and ran upon this quiz - I had taken it when I was single and got the same results. I really thought that now that I'm married and boring I would be sweet innocent Charlotte....

You Are Most Like Samantha!

For you, dating is the ultimate sport
You're into guys with power, looks, or a lot of money.
You rather have a great two weeks than a great forever.
But even you fall victim to love from time to time. :-)


Romantic prediction: You'll find love in the next few months...

But you'll be the last one to realize it.

6 Weird Things About Me- Tagged by Canned_Shrimp (Kristin)

(1) I like math - especially when in conjunction with economics. Economics excites me more than most anything else. Weird, huh?!?

(2) Love all things Asian. Asian food, my wonderful Asian hubby, Asian fabrics, I could go on and on!!

(3) I have freakishly large feet, especially for not being very tall.

(4) I'm terrified of birds. Icky, just thinking of beaks and feathers gives me the chills!!

(5) My favorite kind of music is rap. People keep telling me I'll grow out of this, but I'm 25 and still loving my booty music. This really kinda contradicts the econ nerd in me, no??

(6) I don't like my hands to be dirty. When I'm scrapbooking I will actually go downstairs and wash my hands if I've inked something and got ink on my hands - even if I know I'll be using the ink again before I'm finished scrapping.


And the illustration for #2 - my hottie hubby:

We're half way there!

John and I completed 13 miles today - with 13.1 being a half marathon, I think it's safe to say we are 1/2 way there. It was a good run today! It was sunny and a crisp 45 degrees - just perfect for a long run. I rewarded myself for the good run and the return of my appetite with a jumbo cheeseburger for dinner. Yum!

It's funny, living in Nashville most people think I run into country music stars all the time. I actually can't even think of one I've seen out in public. Ok, maybe one - Pam Tilis was on the same flight as me going out of BNA, but honestly it's rare. Today on our run we ran into former Tennessee Titan Eddie George. He was out running with another dude, I'm not sure if he was a friend or his trainer. I gave them the typical runners wave I always give other runners I see and he totally ignored me. Hmmmpphhh!!
