just like a biker chick...

well, maybe not exactly like a biker chick...what happens when you have bored housewives? a few things will end up happening: 1) the obvious is drinking, which has already been done in copious amounts. 2) excessive exercising, which apparently has also happened. 3) visiting a tattoo parlor. okay, so it may not be that random, but when everyone else is doing it...why not?! don't worry, this was not on a whim. i've been thinking about this for some time and since it wasn't my first trip to the ink master, it shouldn't come as a surprise (granted it has been almost 16 years since my last visit).

i honestly don't remember the pain being so intense, but like anything else i do (like running 20 miles) the pain is temporary. i'm very proud of my new addition...

i'm sure you're asking, "what's the meaning of it all?"

it's a representation of my boys. each star is the color of their individual birthstone color...the boys were actually quite tickled that i have a "real" tattoo just for them...

don't be a donkey...

definition: (n) Undoubtedly the most commonly used insult in poker is Donkey. “You are a donkey,” or “He was such a donkey.” Usually directed at a player who is consistently bad, or who engages in some particularly sub-optimal play. However, as with any insult, its uses are wide and it can generally be employed in any vaguely derogatory fashion.

what i'm saying is...if you don't play...you might consider yourself a donkey...
(of course this does not apply to my out of town friends, unless you want to make the trip out next weekend)

it's about time....

finally, after 10 weeks of training, we have a group shot! the whole team got together last week for our pizza fundraiser night, and it was a huge success. a ginormous thank you to Harry Awad (owner) and Palio's Pizza for hosting such a great night, and thanks to all the families who came out to support us. we had such a great time working that i started second guessing this whole stay at home mom thing....

Hank's Homies

Jessica K. - Me - Harry - Jen K. - Ana J. - Jessica D.

this weekend we are scheduled to run 16 miles, but unfortunately we had planned (back in January) to surprise the kids by taking them down to San Antonio and Sea World for big man's 8th birthday. which means i'll be missing the group run on saturday!! which means i have to run 16 miles alone, in a strange place! i'm starting to wonder if walking around Sea World would be enough and just skipping the run part, but i don't think skipping the week before our 20 mile run is going to be a good idea.

oh, if you're wondering about the caption, Hank's Homies, that's what we've named ourselves. in honor of our hero, Hank K., whom we've been running, fundraising, and praying for. join the club, we even have hats...HOLLA!

everyone needs a Stay-Cation...

i know i do....so, this may only apply to my localites, but it's probably one of the best and easiest fundraisers i'm doing. our Team in Training group is having a drawing for a mini Stay-Cation. it's simple really, from now until May 1 any donation you make towards my fundraising goal will be entered into the drawing. for every $10 donated you will recieve one entry...the more you donate...the more entries you will earn!! wanna know what you're going to win? how does this sound....

2 Nights at aLoft Hotel in Plano

a $250 gift card to Bob's Steak House

and a $50 gift card to CineMark Theaters

really, it's that simple! it's the perfect "date night"! all you have to do is donate...and for my locals...i take cold hard cash as well. wow! this is really exciting, but not quite as exciting as the 12 miles i'm going to be running this weekend, but it's right up there...
