Random Thoughts Thursday 38

- Uh oh. Seems like I missed the timing mats at my half marathon on Sunday! Rachel pointed out to me that her time was 2:03:08 which exactly matched my Garmin time, and my time was 2:04:43. Oopsie. What is interesting is that the first year I ran this race, I didn’t realize there was chip timing! So I thought my time was 1:54:40, but it was really 1:54:06. So, which time should I take for this year? Well, obviously, I am going to go with the faster time. Muah ha ha!
- My team is training for our half Ironman relay on June 9 in Kansas! It’s only 58 days away! My sister’s fiancé ordered a freaking SCHWEET new road bike. But it’s taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r for it to arrive, so he’s using a loaner bike to train. Here’s the bike he ordered:
- In case you missed my finished paperweight on Facebook last week, here is mine (in orange, obvs), and Erin’s:
- Have you seen the Happier app? My friend Emily told me about it last Friday. The app prompts you to record three happy moments from your day. You can categorize them, add a photo and even share them with “friends” (yes, it’s another social media tool) who can “smile” at your happy moments and comment on them. Basically, it’s a gratitude journal, and writing this stuff down is supposed to make you feel good. I like it so far! Although, like any other app… we’ll see how long I stick with it. Ha ha.
- I’m sure you don’t want to hear (or see photo evidence) about how I got a bloody nose at work yesterday and got it on my new top. Let’s just say… it’s a good thing I had filled out my three happy moments before that happened. Ha ha ha. If you get a stain on your clothes is it all you can think about it until you get it out?! It sure is for me. The blood seemed to come out just by soaking it in cold water. Phew.
- And to end with some exciting news… Bobbi and I are getting massages tomorrow to celebrate her birthday! And! Data gets to go to the vet tomorrow too! Muah ha ha. Fun day all around.

The first year Laima and I ran the Hot Chocolate we ran step for step start to finish, and her finishing time was like 4 seconds faster than mine. ??? I think they just make it up.
Ha ha! Too funny! You even crossed the start and finish mats together! I have noticed that before – my pace will be seconds off due to starting ahead or behind.
Sorry, you know I love you, but all I see here is bla bla bla bla MASSAGES!!! Squee!!
LOL! Love this!
Your paperweight turned out really well! So pretty! The Happier app looks really interesting. I’ll have to check it out if/when it comes out for Android. (I’m not seeing it in the Google Play store.) Good luck to Data at the vet and enjoy your massage!
On your cat shirt? Oh no! Glad it came out.
Sigh. Yes. Apparently I ruin all my new things.
Aw, poor Dates. When my tax return comes I need to schedule the girls. FUN (not)
I love the Happier App! I want to try it!!
I was just thinking last night I wish I had scheduled a massage for my birthday. Hm, I wonder if I could still get an appointment…
I think you will like the app!
First let me say, you rocked the cat shirt!! I hate that you got a bloody nose but hopefully like you said, the stain came out! Getting something on my clothes usually stresses me out, I feel like I need to go change as soon as it happens- and usually I am somewhere that is just not possible!
Your paperweight looks awesome!!!
A massage sounds fantastic!!!
Poor Data!!! That hardly seems “fair”- a massage for you and the vet for Data!! He is always such a good helper cat and then you send him to the vet! 🙂
=^..^=
Thanks! I think you need the shirt too…? 😀 😀 😀
SWEET BIKE! im training for my first sprint tri and Idk the different between a tri suit.. or a wetsuit.. bahahaha. def a noob.
I love your paperweight you made! wish I was craftsy..
If it makes you feel any better, I spilled coffee on my brand new white shirt as I was walking to the car but didn’t realize it till I dropped off Miles. Thankfully, the provider is super awesome and let me use a wash cloth on my shirt. Nothing like scrubbing down a white shirt on a kiddie stool with an audience of 2-year-olds!
That is a SWEET bike! I sort of want to do a tri but don’t have the right bike. At all.
Have fun with Bobbi!
I get bloody noses all the time at work. Whenever I’m stressed I Get bloody noses, it’s really great when it happens at inappropriate times. Loves it.
Enjoy your massage!!!!!!!!!
Bloody nose twinsies! Mine seem to be due to dry air. I have had one almost every day for a week or so. FUN!
Data, NOOOOO!!! I’ll save you! So your mom gets a massage and you go to the vet? I call bullshit.
Also, Kim, just admit that I ran so much faster than you on Sunday. It’s okay, I still like you, kinda.
Heh heh heh. I will give him some popcorn later to make up for it.
YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN’T TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SUNDAY! 🙁 lol
The paper weight looks awesome! Hope you enjoy your massage tomorrow!
haha Bobbi and Courtney’s comments!! Have a great massage!
I have major bike envy! I love my road bike but am jealous of all the beautiful tri bikes I see. I wish they weren’t so expensive.
Have fun at your massage. I am definitely getting a celebratory one after my marathon!
Great paperweight. Sorry about your nose. I didn’t realize you worked in a boxing ring! 🙂 Ouch!
I like the sound of the happiness app but I’d probably only use it for 2 days before I’d forget. I tend to forget about stuff like that.
That bike looks awesome!
I tend to forget too. Hence the disclaimer. I don’t even have any games on my phone because I get so bored with them.
That app sounds like fun! I would like to hear a post on that once you’ve compiled some things!
Have fun with the massages-sounds like so much fun!
Wow! I want that bike! Oh, and the stain thing…drives me insane because I usually end up spilling coffee on me in the morning and have to wait till I go home to treat the stain!
Your paperweights are so pretty!!
I really hate getting things on my clothes if I have to meet with people later. And I think Tide sticks smell like ass so I don’t want to use them.
I would probably fail at using that app since I always forget to take pictures of things.
Will must be so frustrated that his bike isn’t here yet! What is taking so long???
You don’t have to use pics on the app! 🙂
I am not sure why it is taking so long 🙁
Oooh – massages! Have an awesome time!
poor data! 😉
I love both of the paper weights
Gasp! Not the CAT TOP!!! Glad the stain came out. Phew!
Enjoy your massage with the birthday girl!
Oh wow, both paperweights turned out SO WELL! I’m really, really impressed. They look so smooth–I totally want to touch them! Is that weird? (Yes, maybe a little.)
Thank you! Yes! Come touch it! LOL
Once I was on my lunch at work and dropped a meatball on my pants and I was wearing light color scrubs!! I was so embarrassed! Now I keep a set in my car, and a scrub jacket. It was really close to my private area, so that bothered me sooooo bad the rest of the day, but I don’t think anyone really noticed (at least if they did, they didn’t say a word!) And they shouldn’t be looking down there anyway!
LOVE y’all’s paperweights! I want one… my birthday is next month….just sayin’.
Ha ha ha! So you keep a set of pants in your car? Good idea!
I would love to make these as gifts 🙂
Poor Data. Cats never like the vet.
That’s a sweet looking road bike.
