have a safe and happy all hallows eve!

woot woot!!!!!

13.36 miles DONE!
it is over...i have finished.
i just did a 1/2 marathon.
OMG.

my running partner said to me, "did you ever, in your life, think that you would do a 1/2 marathon?"
my response, "no. do i think i'll ever do it again? ...no."

seriously, though...13 miles is like 10. if you can do 10, what's 3 more, right?
i had a good time.
the weather was perfect.
i was well rested, and well hydrated.
and i was in good company.

i had a good time.

tgif....

funny thing happened today.

i work in IT. many of my co-workers are from foreign countries, India in particular.
so, as i passed one of my developers she sighed a heavy sigh, and in response i said to her, "tgif, huh?" and she looked at me quizzically, said, "pardon?" and it hit me...it may not be t-G-i-f for her. Maybe, she practices Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, etc. OR maybe she just didn't understand what i said, as it was in passing. and as i repeated myself to her i wasn't sure she understood or that i wouldn't offend her in explaining...either way, it struck my funny bone. and i giggled all the way back to my meeting with Sukumar and Abhijit...so you can see, that it only became funnier to me now, because i couldn't even address it with these guys without wondering would it offend them...

tgif. wherever you are. and wherever you're from.

a complete mess...

i am a complete mess.
something i've just realized about myself.
i had a friend tell me once, and i may have already mentioned this to you before, but she told me that she wished she was more like me. that i was good at everything i did and she wished she were the same. and at the time i thought to myself, 'what do you say to that?' and then i thought, 'if you only knew...' i responded by telling her that the trick is to only do the things that you know you're good at.
so, i'm re-thinking that statement today. i've been working pretty hard lately, long hours...very busy time for the project. and i think that i'm good at my job, who doesn't right? however, i've been noticing that though the work is 'in order' everything else is a mess. my purse, my car, my closet, my house, my thoughts...a little.
so, really, what i should have said, 'I'm good at what you see. what i represent. everything else, is a mess.' honestly.

so, you do the best you can.

high points of the week...

and its only Monday.

first and foremost, the CANCER is gone!
i don't know much more than that.

second, the CAST is off.
xrays indicate it is healing nicely
she just has to be careful with it for a while.

third, monday is almost over,
and i survived.

ps. the pink eye is gone also...

you my-y brown eyed girl...

has become pink.
pink is good for casts,
not for eyes.

333.53

3.2
32:28
9:43

numbers, numbers, numbers.
say that out loud.
that word never sounded so strange...

anyways.
that is total miles logged to date,
miles tonight, in amount of time,
and time it took for first mile,
respectively.

the cool night air was perfect.
i have decided this is my ideal run weather,
hope that it stays so cool until the 21st.
i hardly believe that 12 weeks of training
has become 2 weeks remaining.
and tonight i put it off, and put it off
until it was after 9:30.
but i'm so glad i got to it.

i have an early morning and a long day tomorrow.
good night.

lists...

grocery lists
'honey do' lists
to-do lists
life list?

i was reading over here about the cool people, and considering joining them. i just don't know if i'm cool enough, yo!

like a few of the others i sort of feel like writing it down means i plan to make an effort to actually do those things. and then i think, 'what things?' i don't even know if i could think of 10 things i would like to do with this life.

hmmmm...
