Mission Accomplished.

We'll I set out about 6-7 weeks ago to run a 5k. At the time I couldn't even run hardly a quarter of mile. Even in training I only had gotten up to running about a mile and half but something came thru on race day to push myself to run the full 3 mile race. In the world of running this is such a small distance, but in my little world it felt like a really big accomplishment, I even surprised myself and felt super excited!

Here's us before the race. It was a night run which I enjoy, I'm not into the morning running thing.

These are my tired feet after, I learned early on in strating to run, the shoes can make all the difference:

The office

Well in the midst of re-decorating the living room. I also moved into new office at work. Its pretty much my dream office space and I just love it. Plus now I am officilly right next door to A.M. and closser to the printer!

Like a haircut...

Well what a girl I am. After living with the yellow for a couple weeks, I am now loving the yellow. I've decided its like a drastic haricut, you might cry at first and its so different your not sure but by the 2nd or 3rd week your loving it! I can always re-paint down the line for re-sale since yellow's not everyone's cup of tea but for now its here stay here's a video tour if you'd like to see for yourself:

The anatomy of a bad decesion...

Well the roller coaster continues. I finished painting the living room after working on it almost all weekend and every night since then and I do not love it, yea I don't even like it and my stomach is turning at thought of all the work its going to take to re-paint it but I don't think I can live with this color. So I find myself doing some self talk to re-group reminding myself its just paint and it can be fixed, everyone makes mistakes and there are much much worse things in life. So I keep coming back to how did I make this mistake? For two years I've been wanting to do a shade of yellow but somewhere I took a wrong turn just haven't figured out where, I would like to find out so I can avoid such a bad choice again but at last examining the anatomy of this decision has revealed no point I even considered not following through with this plan. Sometimes it just happens.

Allie and Chloe are staying the night and I just have to laugh when I asked 6 year old Allie what she thought, she sweetly said, "Well its not people's favorite color but it matches well". It might "match" but its not my favorite color either, back to the drawing board!
