Bleach and Saturday

The other day, my sister (code name Penguin) and I were in the garage and daddy was doing laundry.  So it smelled like bleach. 

Since I enjoy unusual smells, I said "oh it smells so good, like bleach".

Penguin said "you like the smell of bleach??  What are you, a serial killer or something??"

It was HILARIOUS!!

And no, I am not a serial killer.


This morning, I was leaving for work and daddy said "oh I thought today was Saturday".

I said "unfortunately not yet".

And he said "well for me, every day is Saturday".

I wanted to punch him.  HAHA!!!  Just joshing!!

This Is My Blog

So, here's the latest and greatest that's been going on with me.  Since I refuse to join Facebook I thought this would be a nice way to keep my friends informed of what's going on with me.   (see this post for more details:

For anyone who doesn't know, I've been in training to run a marathon!!  A half-marathon, to be exact.  Unfortunately I am currently sidelined with shin splints (which are quite painful, however they are getting better) so I haven't been able to run in a week, but I hope to get some running in this weekend if my body is OK with that!!

A half-marathon is 13.1 miles.  My goal is to run the whole marathon in 2 hours and 50 minutes, which is about a 13 minute/mile pace.  Oh and have I mentioned, I am planning to run the Disney Princess Half-Marathon in February??  (of course it has to be Disney!!)

Training is hard!!  Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like running.  However, I'm starting to like it.  I can't wait for the time when I go for a long run and I don't feel like I'm going to die!!  Major props to my super awesome trainer, code name Sunshine, for all her help and motivation!!

So, has anyone run any marathons??  Anyone been stricken with shin splints??  Sound off in the comments!!

Thank you for reading :)
