Well, I completed my first official race this past weekend. It was a 5k, benefiting brain cancer research. It was very cold at that hour of the morning (0900) and there were a couple of hills on the course, but I still think I did pretty good. I ran it in 31:53. That is about my normal pace of a 10-minute mile.
My lungs hurt for the rest of the day every time I took a breath, so Saturday after church, I went to the sporting goods store and bought some official cold-weather running gear. I wore them yesterday and they worked as advertised...Plus, they are cute! Today I am going to try to step it up to 4 miles...wish me luck!
Well, my loved one still doesn't have any idea of where they are sending him next, so we are still waiting on that news. Someplace far away from here would be nice....maybe overseas in an exotic country...I can dream, can't I!
I have been studying many hours for the stupid algebra assessment I have to take tomorrow. I am still not happy about having to take it at all, but what can I do?

Catching up
Well, I've been dutifully told that I've been too lazy and it's time to update the blog. I really have been meaning to, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out anything exciting that has been blog-worthy in my life! I am still procrastinating on the scrapbook that I said I was really going to get to working on in my last blog. My vacation request was denied, so now that I am not going to be able to visit my honey in Bahrain, I suppose that will give me more time to do it. I have been told by the same honey that I need to get my Christmas pictures on my picture site so that he can finally see them....geez, it's only been three weeks! There is a three day weekend coming up in a couple of days, so maybe this time I can make it productive.
I took my dog to get groomed the other day...she had mats from chewing on her legs and try as they might, they couldn't save her fur....Now I'm afraid she's cold so I've been keeping her sweater on...I'll provide a picture after I get home! It's like playing with dolls all over again!

A year for changes
Yes, this year will be a year for changes...I'm not sure what all changes are in store, but there will be many, I do know that much. I plan on making the most of whatever comes my way and no matter what that may be, I will work on myself to make me a better me!
Of course, that means many resolutions! I know people who swear away from resolutions because they say that they are made to be broken, or that you are setting yourself up for failure, and many other things I can't remember that they say. But I say that there is no better time than the beginning of a year to at least try to incorporate some positive changes into your life. And if for some reason you do anything to sabotage that goal, then try, try again. As many times as it takes to get you to where you are happy with yourself. I think I have learned that there is a plan for all of us and we think that we know what we want that plan to be. But a very wise friend (Thanks, Melboe!) tells me often that if what we would like to happen doesn't happen, there there must be better things out there for you. It is hard to think of things that way when you want something like you have never wanted anything in your life, but you just have to place trust where it belongs and believe in what happens after that.
Other things that have been going on since I last posted (yes, I am not very consistent yet!).....I have just decided to enbark on an MBA program (once again, Thanks Melboe!). Although I have to wrangle with the IRS for a copy of my last return in order to apply for financial aid, since I have no earthly clue what I did with it. I can't imagine filing without printing a copy, but it is not to be found. But, I should be able to start in March and it should take about 2 years from then. I see much more Prozac in my future!
I am still working on my first scrapbooking album. It is an album of my dog, Skittles. I am going to try to get that one done by the end of this month, because I want to start on another one that will be about my trip to Bahrain next month.
Time for a commercial break...Until next time!
