5k anyone??

I decided that in order to get rid of my waterbed-esque stomach, I am going to start training for a 5k this week. I found this program that helps couch potatoes such as myself get up and be ready to run 5k straight after 10 weeks.


So we're going to go for this 5k. Why not support organ donation while I'm at it, eh?


Oh, so this morning, Alice was squirming around and waking me up (she sleeps in my arms in bed with me) and so I opened my eyes and she was smiling up at me. I said, "good morning baby. You're so cute!" or something similar and closed my eyes since I was not ready to wake up yet. She then made a little cooing noise and I opened my eyes and she was smiling at me like, "hello! it's time to wake up mom!" She melts my heart.





This weekend was good. I discovered a new game that I must have. Berserk, I think you'd like this one. It's called Boom Blox. Too bad Sukie and Wudan's TV is on the fritz... I would have played it even more this weekend.

Lions and Tigers and what??

Someone new has been added to my blog links. Check it out!!

Round 2

1. What were you doing 10 years ago?


My best guess is that I was at home playing the recently-released Yoshi's Story on Nintendo 64.

2. Five things on my "To Do List" today:


1. Finish up my weekly stats report for work
2. Get some drugs for this headache I've got
3. Get a laptop ordered for Scribbles
4. ????
5. Profit!

3. Snacks I enjoy:

Pizza Rolls, Pringles or Stax, Ranch Doritos, Bite-size Recess, Peanut Butter M&Ms, Cashews, Beef Jerky

4. What would I do if suddenly I was a billionaire?

Spend at least a million of it in the first week. On the shopping list: House w/ new appliances and furniture (for Carolyn), 2 cars, various computers and laptops, video games, a maid and/or butler, etc

5. Three bad habits:

1-a. I stay up way too late(possibly related to #1b)
1-b. I drink way too much diet cola
2-a. When I dry my hands I don't hang the towel back up.
2-b. ...and I don't close the toilet lid. Which is really more of Duke's problem than it is mine ;) After all, he's the one with the bad habit of drinking from the toilet.
3. I shake my leg up and down all the time. It's usually enough to shake the floor and it drives certain people nuts.

6. Five places I've lived:


Provo, American Fork, Xalapa, Veracruz, Orizaba, San Andres, Minatitlan, Coatzacualcos

7. Five jobs I've had:


1. Technical Support Supervisor(woot!)
2. Technical Support II
3. Technical Support I
4. USPS customer service, Amex sales/service, answering infomercial 800 numbers (all pretty much the same job. Answer phone > read script > repeat)
5. Pizza Hut, Dominoes (again, same job)


8. Five things that MOST people don't know about me:


1. I hate calling and talking to people on the phone. Yes, I know I'm in the wrong line of work :P
2. I have a hard time talking to people in person as well. I never know what to talk about
3. I like to write
4. I have always thought I get paid too much for what I do
5. Nothing truly bad has ever happened in my life, and I sometimes wonder if anything bad will ever happen to me. I'm almost convinced it won't.
