Random Motley Post

I have a lot on my mind, not sure what I should post - oh, heck it is "motley" I can cover whatever I want!

So my big dilemma is that it is two day (2 DAYS!) until Delaney turns five, and I haven't figured out what to get her yet. Furthermore, she wants her birthday in the summer so she can have a pool party. I told her we can have her party in the summer, but it is still her birthday so what does she want? Nothing! She doesn't want any present until her party. I CAN"T DO THAT! I would feel like the worst parent ever! So I am trying to figure out a way to give her a present, without pissing her off. If you knew Delaney, you would understand.

Next topic - I spent five hours painting MY NEW BATHROOM today. So close to being done, I am so excited! The tile guy is suppose to start on Tuesday, and I think I am just going to have to hug him! Not because I think he is hot or anything, I am just so happy to be approximately one week from having my own bedroom and bathroom again (and by "my" I mean my husband and I) - unfortunately for my tile guy, he symbolizes the finish of this project for me - so he is getting a hug.

I have been kicking butt with my running lately. I am finishing my 3rd week of an actual training schedule for the half marathon in March. I have done every scheduled run, maybe not on the prescribed day, but I get it in. The best thing is I have been getting faster, and I haven't had any major aches or pains. I was suppose to do a 5K this weekend, but since I was busy painting and there were no local 5ks, I decided I will do my own virtual 5k tomorrow morning before work. My goal is to do a sub 30 minute 5k, which will be a personal best for me. Well, I probably did better than that when I was younger, but I don't remember my youth anymore so it doesn't count.

I will post again tomorrow with my results.
