Runners World

Someone in this world thinks I run. (snicker) Seriously. Someone, somewhere thinks I run enough to be interested in a subscription to Runners World magazine. (snort)

The last time I ran was ..... lemme see .... waaaaay back last year when hubby and I decided we were going to start running in those ridiculous 3k things. Or 5k. Or Special K. Anyway, but what I did? I wouldn't really call it "running". It was more like speed walking. Kinda like what you do when you've gotta tinkle really, really bad and need to get to the bathroom in a big, big hurry but you know if you bounce around too much it'll all be over.

TMI? Sorry. You know how I am about those things.

Anyway, I keep getting these emails from Runners World magazine wanting me to try a complimentary issue. If I like what I see they'll keep sending it. If not, all I have to do is cancel and we'll just be friends.

If they really knew me, they'd know they were wasting their time! I only run during shoe sales, commercial breaks during Dancing With the Stars and after the occasional wayward 3-year old in my preschool class.

Maybe I should suggest that the people at Runners World send a subscription offer to some of my students!

Facebook Reunion

Have you discovered Facebook yet? If not, please go there right now. Seriously. It's one of my new faves.

I happened across it one day and decided to give it a try and *WHAMMO* I found a group for my old high school. There they were - faces I hadn't seen in years and years! Ok, decades and decades to be honest.

I started reconnecting with old friends and classmates and its funny how we've all basically stayed the same over the years. With the exception of the gray hairs (don't pretend you don't have them under that dye job!), wrinkles (Botox or not, you've got 'em somewhere!), and extra pounds. Well, some of them have extra pounds but not this ol' gal! I'm still just as firm and svelte as I was back in '87!

Have I mentioned that I lie a little bit every now and then? Just warning you.

Anyway, if you haven't Facebook'ed give it a try. You just might refresh some old memories - like that Bon Jovi song "Whoaaaaa! We're halfway they-ya. Whoaaaaaa! Livin' on a pray-ya!" or cruising the DQ after the football game. There's nothing like a trip down memory lane.

Have a great President's Day, y'all!
