okay third from last.
anyway... the Fool's Run 5k Race in Manasquan was yesterday - i walked it (as i said i was going to.)
my time.... 49:30
oh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah... a blistering pace. not bad for someone who hasn't done any steady walking. oh sure i walked a week and a half ago around the condo complex and before that, was on February 17th when the Mid-Winter Beach Run took place.
turns out my pedometer is a jerk. it said that I only walked 2.10 miles - so it's off somehow since a 5k is 3 miles (i'll have to futz with the stride thing or something.)
well, i am too dang lazy to get myself scrubbed and shined up to go to church for Palm Sunday. yep, i'm a heathen. oh well. and i didn't do the Rabbit Rabbit because gigglemom woke me up pointing out the window saying that some guy was trying to get into my car --- and i, 3/4 asleep, get up and i look outside and then i go try to find my car keys and... OH HOLY HELL SHE GOT ME WITH THE APRILFOOL'S PRANK.
it's been a while since she got me.
i remember when i was 8 years old, she purposely saved sour milk in the fridge and poured that in my cereal one fateful April 1st. ha. ha. and another time i was maybe nine, and she told me (when i was still in my nightgown) that a van crashed into the house down the street and it caught fire and everyone was still down there and to go look. i went. no one was there --- except me and my nightgown.
of course, there've been the obligatory saran-wrapped toilet seats, too... and many more pranks --- but as i stated before, i'm too lazy today.
Whatchoosayin'?? (4 yapped)
3rd? Jesus that's awsome! and just like Damian said: at the end finishing may be the most important thing at all :)
Big greetings,

I was a Senior and called home and my sister answered the phone - I told her that my current boyfriend of the time and I had just been in a car accident and that we were both at the hospital and I needed mom to come get me and talk to the doctors. She started freaking out, crying out "MOM!" and I said "hey, hey sis?" "what?" "APRIL FOOL'S!" she hung up on me.
