way to blow gaytors

UGGH. nothing needs to be said about the piss poor performance today. except that the offense looked horrific for about 55 out of 60 minutes, and the defense was fair, except they let 31 points go on them. oh yeah, and special teams? horrible too obviously.

I did run a 5k at the gym. Didnt stop to walk at all! first time ever i have been able to do that without taking walk breaks in the middle. it felt pretty darn good.

In other news, anyone got open jobs for web/interaction designers? I hope it doesnt happen, but it sure looks like someone's gonna buy Wachovia, and then who knows what will happen. YAY FOR THE ECONOMY!!!!

Congratulations lenders for giving mortgages to people who couldnt afford it! You really screwed America. Now the government has to bail them out, so America doesnt totally collapse, and who gets to pay for it? Us hard workers who actually COULD afford our mortgage. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

all in all, its been a great weekend!

Oh yeah, and to top it all off, Charlotte has been out of gas since like Tuesday. There have been a few random moments when a station or two will get gas, but of course the lines are wrapped around the building. some people have waited 5 hours, others have camped out, others have fought over it. Its ridiculous. not that not having gas for a week, is anywhere near as bad as the poor people who are homeless. But ya know, its an annoyance to me, so I can complain about it. if you think i'm a whiner, dont read my blog!!

so, i'm gasless, potentially jobless, and the gators Suck. but at least i have my health. as do my kids. :)

Race for the Cure Training update

For all you gracious hearted donors out there who have donated to my Race for the Cure (5k) to support Breast Cancer awareness, here is a training update!

Last week I ran 3 miles in 33:54. I forgot about the extra .12 miles to make it a full 5k.

Today, i ran a full 5k in 33:20! I was SUPER amped. It was with a double jogging stroller too! I really pushed it and kinda felt like i was gonna throw up afterwards, but it still felt good.

My neighborhood is actually pretty good to run in, cuz there's not a lot of cars on the streets, and its got some decent inclines up and down for the mile loop I do.

1 and a half weeks left till the race. Thanks so much to everyone that has contributed. (not trying to make the others feel guilty, just trying to make the contributors feel good :) ) seriously, seriously, no guilt trips. Thats not how i roll (points interweb digital finger at Dad) [(huh? NO! i'm not insinuating anything!! what would make you think that?)]

Anyway, its a great cause, so at least go check it out (if you havent already)

good cereal

    Honey Nut Chex is great!

Can you believe?

Yesterday, i ate 4 egg mcmuffins, 3 hashbrowns, 6 baconators, 2 fully loaded potatoes, and 6 slices of meat trio pizza with garlic butter sauce, and then this morning I was 12 pounds lighter!!!

Its so awesome to eat like crazy and lose weight!

This Michael Phelps diet really works!!

What Would Jesus Drive?

In other news, its apparently un-Christian to drive a gas guzzling SUV. Thoughts? Here is some light reading for you:

• http://www.whatwouldjesusdrive.org/


• http://www.mbforum.ca/topic/1809.html


• http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1004283-4,00.html

The next time you go to buy a car, and think about getting one of those safe, spacious, family oriented SUV's, you may want to think about what a man who was born 2000 years ago, in a time when combustion engines were unheard of, and camels were the dominant form of transportation, and science was mostly written off as magic, would drive.

This goes out to all my Biggest Loser friends!

Brainteaser for the day

A pharaoh is building a pyramid and has contracted a worker to build it over the course of 6 days. The pharaoh has 1 gold bar in which to pay the worker but must pay him equal amounts each day. He only has the means to cut the bar twice. How is this accomplished?

No Games, Just Sports

1. Go Gators!!! In a battle between Tebow and Hurricane Ike, 1st round, Tebow clobbers Ike and turns it into a little teeny swirly in the middle of the ocean.

2. Wii Fit is pretty fun. Angelle found one yesterday and i hoola hooped and did yoga and ski jumped.

3. Hole in the Wall is the BEST gameshow as of late. SOOOOOO freakin entertaining.  Fox. Check it out!

New game!

I invented a new game today. Its called "Brown Texting". It came about because there's not a whole lot to do in the bathroom at work. They dont have sudoku sitting nearby or magazines (except for the occasional PC weekly, but i dare not touch a magazine sitting in a stall).

So basically, all you have to do is text one of your friends "You just got brown texted!". This is of course assuming you have your cell phone/blackberry/iPhone in your pocket, which, i think, most people always do.

The receiver is conflicted, because, Yes they got a text from their friend, which makes them feel good, but they received it while said friend was dropping a deuce, so do they really want to have been thought about while said event was occurring?

Its a great game! I urge you to try it out. It may not sound like that much fun right off, but just try it once. I guarantee you'll laugh about it, your friend will laugh, and then all future Brown Texts will in turn generator thousands of laughs.

Bleeber (aka Dave) was my first recipient, and I am almost assured of his bemusement, and amusement at being Brown Texted. Yeah Dave!

Cutest video ever!

biking, football, lack of wisdim, and babies. but not in that order.

So angelle got her wisdom teeth out Friday. it was interesting playing caregiver all weekend. It actually turned out really good cuz i got quality time with Leah and Erin. All weekend Erin kept saying "Da Da". it was great! i would say "Erin" shed say "Da Da"...Erin..Da Da..Erin..Da Da....we went back and forth a bunch of times. Angelle is fine in case you were wondering.

Gators whooped up on Hawaii. WOO!

Got to ride the trails at National Whitewater Center yesterday. Pretty challenging! very enjoyable though and quite a good workout. we also took the girls so they could check out the manmade river. We did the easy loop around the river with the girls on the bikes. Yes, they had helmets.

Then we picked up Arbys and headed to Matthews to catch the tail end of Matthews Alive. Its an art fest/carnival thing they do in Matthews every labor day weekend. Angelle wanted to go yesterday but was still feeling kinda yuck and we grilled with Maddexes yesterday. So we went today. got there about 5:15, thinking we had about 2 hours till it was over. We get there and they were starting to pack up. We were mildly annoyed that they would start leaving before its officially over, but we walked around anyway. Didnt see much cuz there lots of trucks and decided to just sit at a table and eat our roast beef. Come to find out it had ended at 5. whoops. oh well, theres always next year.
