Craziness

What can I say, my life is full of craziness. Hehe

I needed to take the car into the shop to get its 30K check up. When I got there, they told me that I was suppose to have an appointment. The guy, Anthony, told me not to worry about it. I told him that I could make an appointment for later in the week if that would make things easier. He was cool. He told me that it will get done. With this I needed to rent a car, no worries Toyota does that as a part of their service. I went in to get my rental, and the guy told me that my driver's license had expired. Um, are you sure? Both this guy and Anthony gave me directions to DMV. They were way cool! Thank goodness! Anthony kept my car in the loop, so when I returned it would get fixed sooner.

Ran (actually drove the speed limit for the first time ever) to DMV, and I was pretty confident that I was going to cry and this was going to take forever and I would have to take the written portion again. With that, I sucked it up and told the lady that I was an idiot for not knowing that my driver's license had expired. She gave me a number. Thirty minutes later, my number was called. This was the quickest ever! I have waited in DMV for hours. I walked up to this lady, and I told her that I was idiot for letting my license expire. She died laughing, I think she even snorted. She thought it was funny that I didn't try to come up with an excuse (I didn't have one.). Twenty-eight dollars later, my license is renewed and I was on my way back to Toyota. Yippee! I was thankful that I wasn't trying to get onto a plane at this point.

Left Toyota, went to Mervyn's. As I tried on clothes, I sent pictures to my sis in D.C. for approval. I think I have determined that I am too short for long dresses. I need a dress that isn't too short. Yuck! I need one that hits a little bit above the knee. The dresses that were past my knee made me look short and frumpy. Maybe this is why I have stuck to nice dress pants. It makes me look taller. Instead of getting a dress with my gift certificates, I got cute shoes. :o) I am tired of wearing cute outfits with my running shoes. Yuck! I want to look somewhat normal. Hehehe I have been losing inches, so it was nice to pick up a 10 and put it on. If I keep working out, it will be interesting to see how many inches I lose. Maybe I will be a size 8 one of these days. A single digit is it possible? Stay tuned!!

Then I went to Target to take back Conner's bike, and get another one. The Target I went to was yuck, so I didn't use my b-day gift cards.

At this point, I went lunch with Jeremy were we discussed our next great adventure. We are going to complete the Everest Challenge in September. It is a 5K with an obstacle course at the end, then you complete the 5K again doing a scavenger hunt. We can't wait. :o)

Left Jer, and went to get a haircut. I needed it. It is much short now, it was growing out of control. I love it. The curls spring into action. Then I made the mistake of taking an hour nap. I thought a power nap would do me wonders, nope. I woke up, and I lost it on the phone with Jeremy. I was crying. He asked me if I had taken a nap, and I told him that I had for an hour. He just laughed. When I woke up further, he called me to tell me that an hour nap was not long enough. He knew I was exhausted, and I needed more.

All I really wanted to do today was go for a run. I went when the boys and Jeremy got home. It started out as a crappy run. My first few miles are my worst. It is also one of those mental games I have to play. I have to push myself through 2 miles, so I can get a good run in. It is crazy. I have always been this way, so it really wasn't a big surprise. I ended up doing a nice 5 miler. I am totally stoked because I was averaging about 11:30 miles. That is about a minute improvement. All my workouts are paying off. I think lifting weights and yoga have helped! Thanks to everyone for the encouragement, and the ideas. I am really lovin' the weights. The yoga is still growing on me.

Finally my 24lb body bar came today. I am waiting on two more b-day gifts. I am waiting on Cathe Freidrich's Core Max and Stretch Max.
