Run Dog Run

I am still in amazement that I finished running my first 10K yesterday. I was big finisher #1246. Hoorah! I have participated in one 10K before, but I pretty much walked it. I have always had the mindset that I couldn't run 6 miles because I've never run more than 3. But long story short- I am ready to do it again. (Well, as soon as I can walk like a normal person again!)

It was a fun day because I had several family members there too. It was encouraging to see everyone so active. And what a great activity to get your kids involved in. I hope that we continue to support each other this way- it's creating alot of fun memories.

I love February in Texas

February must be one of the greatest month's of the year. Not only does it hold my birthday, but how great is it that yesterday it was 80 degrees in the middle of February. I had the opportunity to work on my golf game yesterday, although I was supposed to be studying for my first test tonight. I got 12 holes in and probably played the best game I have ever played. I think it may be because I had a demo Driver and Fairway Wood made by Callaway. The technology in the golf club industry these days is absolutley amazing. Anywho, the drives were long (and a little to the right) and the shots from the fairway went far and straight. All in all, a good day in the sun.

Big Money

The beginning of the year always brings the dreaded annual review, unless you have a great boss like mine. They are no sweat and he always gives me new challenges to keep my brain in shape. So I had mine yesterday,- and I got a 10% raise! Hoorah! And a year end bonus and tuition reimbursement.

This has to be the best annual review I've ever received.

My new Blog Addiction

I have become so bored at work that I think I may become addicted to Blogging. Now, don't get me wrong, I love my job. This dramatic environment I work in makes each day interesting enough without considering the actual work content. It's just that I am in the middle of the month where there are few deadlines and few projects to complete.

So, after I took the new girl to lunch for over an hour, I came back to work and have been reading Blogs for...oh.....let's see...Four Hours. My favorite for the day, recommended to me by a fellow blogger: Anonymous Lawyer

Maybe tomorrow I will rearrange my filing cabinet. I think I will be sure to sleep in.

Who was that St Valentine anyway?

I have spent several Valentine's Days as a single girl. And it's never really been a big deal. But this year it's a little depressing. I am not sure why- maybe it's because last year I had a great day. Or because I am still in a little bit of a shock that I am 25 now. Oh well- there's always next year.

Half a Century Old

Well, maybe not really but this week I had my 25th birthday. After spending two long days being hungover, I have decided it's time for me to stop drinking. Now I suppose that this could be a problem since I have plans for Happy Hour tomorrow night, but I have seriously got to cut back. Besides that, it's gotten a little out of control lately. I realized this when I woke up yesterday to check my phone to try to piece together the previous evening only to discover that I had called my sister at 2AM to tell her 'Happy Mardi Gras'! What was I thinking?

I do wish I was at Mardi Gras right now though. That would be way cooler than working.
