February 28, 2009 at 10:35 pm | In running | Leave a Commenta BIG type-out to lisa for encouraging me to sign up for a half marathon with her.
on april 19th we will be running the santa cruz half marathon. and jasen will be running the 10k.
i just completed week 1 of training…not too bad, but i am feeling pretty sore. but a good sore. i had to ice my ankle tonight, and i am praying it’s nothing serious…i am really trying to train thoughtfully and carefully.
between training we have been trying to figure out our whole housing situation…you can read more about that here.

25 things or maybe 26.
February 17, 2009 at 8:21 pm | In ramble | Leave a Commentthanks facebook.
here it goes…please don’t judge.
1. i want more than anything to be called a runner. you know, “oh! have you met my friend amanda? she’s a runner.” you know that kind of thing.
2. i HATE forward emails. unless someone i know, knows that i hate them and sends me one…then i will read it from them because i know it will be good it. but please…don’t send me them.
3. works out 5-6 times a week. you think i would be a size 2 by now.
4. wants to learn how to wear high heels like the big girls.
5. eats chick.fil.a at least once a week…and gets the same exact thing every time.
6. is very annoyed by people’s bodily noises. obsessive coughing, clearing your throat, sniffing (that’s the worst) smacking your food and biting your fork.
7. i enjoy the sound of people blowing their nose. it means they wont be sniffing any longer.
8. i try way too hard to be perfect. whatever perfect means.
9. i don’t know if i’ll ever be ready for kids of my own. i like them…just not everyday.
10. i am a seasonal decorator. i love to buy things that are thematic and cute. i have a hard time with easter and spring…not to fond of pastel colors.
11. i shop at target twice a week. usually to find out if there is any seasonal decoration to be bought.
12. i am obsessed with having clean floors. i sleep with a sweeper by my bed in case of a midnight dust bunny emergency.
13. i am clinically diagnosed with mild ocd. which will explain #3, #6, #8, #10, #11, #12, #14, #20
14. i wear make up everyday regardless of where i am going.
15. i hate to be corrected. not on big “life” stuff…like if i had a drinking or gambling problem, but the small stuff like writing the wrong too or two.
16. i am not a good reader. i mispronounce things all the time and blame it on poor eyesight.
17. i don’t like the unknown.
18. i have social anxiety, which makes it hard to make friends and keep them. especially when large groups are involved.
19. I really want to spend a lot of money on a designer purse.
20. i’m addicted to iphone tetris.
21. i feel bad if i don’t cook a home. but the bottom line…eating out tastes way better.
22. i am going to train for a marathon soon. or maybe i should shoot for a half marathon.
23. i don’t like it when kids think they are smarter than adults. some might be…i just don’t like it when they think they are.
24. i always get talked into spending way to much money on hair or facial products.
25. i’m married to the best partner i think is out there. he’s wrong when i’m right and wrong when he’s right.
26. it’s hard for me to be nice to people who are annoying.

my cute cup and i (or me)
February 12, 2009 at 10:26 am | In crazy things i buy | 4 Commentsi have been walking the long aisles of target looking for cute valentine’s day things. that’s right “things.” i kept walking by this cute cup and i finally broke down and bought it. i get many of compliments from the kids.
and that’s what i strive for…to look cool…and teach them stuff.

i heart running (for good causes)
February 9, 2009 at 3:49 pm | In running | 5 Comments
so my wonderful sis-in-law allie hooked me up with this amazing run that will take place on valentine’s morning. i think its great to have these races organized that help someone else…while providing exercise!

does it work? it does!
February 8, 2009 at 12:21 am | In crazy things i buy | Leave a Commenti really like to shop at bath and body works…i am ocd about smells and everywhere i work or live has to have a pleasant aroma. i am crazy about their wallflowers but will only buy them on sale. they work. you’ll love it.
before school began i bought a lotion and hand soap from their “aromatherapy” line called stress relief. the lotion sits in my drawer, and finally i pulled it out to use before my parent teacher conferences. and maybe it was all mental (which is likely with me) but it really worked! the smells were so calming and soothing. so needless to say…i was stoked to find a shower gel for $5.
score. stress free. (for now.)
