Weekend.

How was everyone's weekend?
Mine was awesome...
Except for the fact that I may have gained 20lbs from all the really good food I ate.
(Ok not really but it feels that way.)

Let's see, what else?

I LOVE my new bike and can't wait to go for a long ride!
I also got a new helmet and bike lock to go with it.
I got Super Mario Brothers for Wii from my brother as a late B-Day present.
I haven't played it yet but I am pretty excited because it is supposed to be more like the original Mario game.
I have watched the first few episodes of the first season of MacGyver.
Also a B-Day present from my other brother.
(My famly loves me!!)
Man I love that show and I still wish that I could have married him...
I also ended up seeing Date Night twice.
Friday and Saturday night.
It is hilarious.
I will definitely be owning that one.

Ok well I am off to bed.
Busy week ahead full of:
Housesitting
Working
Running
Bike rides
and
hopefully lots of other fun things!

Pet Peeve.

Ha ha! I just realized... No pun intended!!

Ok, so maybe it's just me but when you have a dog and you let it outside, you should either:

A. supervise it,
B. chain it up,
or
C. build a fence or install an electric fence.

Don't get me wrong, I like dogs. They make great pets and they can be so cute. I would love them even more if I wasn't allergic to them and if they didn't cause my asthma to act up. Anyway, back to the point. I've been running around the block the last couple of days because the Lake Youngs Trail is all muddy from the torrents of rain we have been having. Well when I turn down Lake Youngs Road, there has been this Black Lab just wandering around. When he sees me, he runs up and  follows me, sniffing at my feet as I run. I even cross the street trying to avoid him but he just crosses right on over too. I have no idea if this dog is friendly. Who knows, he could be the sweetest dog in the world, BUT the problem with that sentence is the key words: "WHO KNOWS?" What if he had tried to bite me?!  It freaks me out. I mean what if little kids were outside playing and a free roaming dog just came up and attacked them? Unless you know the dog personally you just can't tell.

I mean ok, it's been a few days and this dog hasn't tried to hurt me (yet), but it's the principle of the matter!

So as a pet owner, I think they should take responsibilty for their pet and make sure that it doesn't bother innocent bystanders just out for some good old fashioned exercise.

What's your opinion?

I really do like dogs, promise!

How was your Thursday?

Today was a good day.
Here's why:

                                                         

Got up early(ish) and went running!

Went to JoAnn's with my mom and picked out some cute Spring fabric for twirly skirts for some cute girls! 

Saw Remember Me with my mom and totally cried.

Target called to say I passed the drug test and background check with flying colors. (I wasn't REALLY worried.)

*Plus here's the mini-cherry on top of the regular cherry, on top of the sundae of awesomeness that is my life...

New Community and The Office episodes tonight!!

How was your Thursday?

Festive Running

Back in December a friend and I ran the Jingle Bell Run/Walk 5k for the Arthritis Foundation in downtown Seattle.

When we picked up our packets the day before the race they gave us bells to tie on our shoes.

 

The other day, I noticed I still had the bells on my shoes. I wonder what people think when they hear me run by?

 Kind of makes the run a little more fun, don't you think?
