hair and shoes

As usual I got ready this morning...

Easy quick hair = washing + texture hair product + diffusing.

Here is one student's response to my not straightened hair, "Must be a bad hair day."

Before leaving the house I put on my shoes.

Needless to say they were a topic of conversation.

34 it is

And so it was, May 19th came and went, I now claim the number 34.  When I was 32, for the entire year, I unintentionally told everyone who asked, that I was 33.  I thoroughly enjoyed my day.


7 a.m. Breakfast at one of my favorite places for breakfast foods...

One of the Twin Cities best breakfast places

Choice beverages: water, cream w/coffee, orange/grapefruit juice

Then onto climbing... 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

My friend AP... a natural with bouldering.  I could only hope to get the hang of it someday.

SL also appeared to be a natural for her first time! 

For now... I'll stick to auto and top roping.  The first time I had climbed over an edge jutting out.

Somewhere between 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.:  I was convinced to sign up for and run a 5 K the morning of the 20th.

2 p.m. to 4 p.m.  RACE TIME

1) I learned my lesson... Although it won't slow me down only make me use different strategies.  2) To the older gentleman that I cut off and bumped out of my way, "I'm not sorry that I, a lady, passed you up.  Scowl away."

Rest of the evening:  Included barbequing with friends and family.  It means so much that you took the time out of your day to enjoy an evening with me.

Sunday morning brought a 5 K my way...

wedgies and post-it notes

While standing in line at Brugger's Bagels waiting for my lunch the woman in front of me turned to look at me, this was her monologue to me...

Oh WOW!  I love your platforms!  It makes me want to go down to DSW to buy myself a new pair of shoes for spring.  {pause} You know platforms were in style in the 70s.  HA! and now they are back in style.  {looking again at my shoes} Oh wait.... they aren't called platforms anymore they are called wedgies.  I really like them.  Ohhhh... they are cork wedgies.  HA!  You can pin Post-It Notes to them to help you remember things!  Oh, and guess which country we get our biggest supply of cork from? {I didn't get a chance to even answer} before she said, PORTUGAL!  They grow cork trees there!



I didn't have the heart to tell her that they are called "wedges"  not "wedgies"
