TWPICK Thursday, new DL, and it's not spinach but it's not a snickers

It's TWPICK Thursday - reloaded! I have new white pants today. Aaaaaand it's pouring outside. I was trapped in my truck for a while. White pants....rain... you do the math. I sent a distress email for coffee, but it was a no-go; it was raining on the other side of town too.

Our weather forecast right now says the 'first wave of severe storms...'. First wave. We are now an ocean from sky to sand, and the storms are coming in legitimate waves. Over and over and over. So water logged!

I did get to weed co-garden a bit last night, but gave up after I had fed every mosquito in the county. The air is thick, the mosquitos are thicker, and my patience was thin. Co-garden is producing well though. We have a few dozen chocolate/cherry and cherry tomatoes on the vine, cucumbers are beginning to take shape, and the growkra pods are getting bigger! If you've been here for this year's planting stories, you are breathing a sigh of relief with me.

Back to the old me

You know I recently went back to my maiden name, and that means I have to change my identity everywhere. Today I plan to get a new driver license, in the rain. 

Years back I had the BEST DL picture ever. I think it was in 2007. I was tan, thin, my hair looked amazing. I compared my license picture in 2011 to that one for the past 4 years. Now it's due again, and I get a name change. There is a lot of pressure on this picture. 

Do you practice and prepare for your DL renewal? I've seen some wild ones over the years. I don't think everyone thinks about it as much as I do.

Bootleg snacks

You know I got the snacks. 

~boiled eggs
~figgies and jammies
~iced coffee
~applesauce that I figured out is baby food...

...well, I'll have the iced coffee at 11 when the cupcake place opens. Open, open, open, open, open.

Yesterday I wanted Fritos, but chose peanuts instead. My justification was that they aren't spinach, but they aren't a Snickers. That makes them ok, right?

It's almost Friday, and that's almost good enough for me. 
What plans do you already have for the weekend?

    I'm the least photogenic person I know and my DL always reflects this.

That Dam 5k

Image
I found out yesterday that there is a 5k coming up in my area. The 'That Dam Lake Texoma 5k" is on 11/17. I feel like physically I am prepared for it, but gear-ly I am not. I still haven't bit it and bought new shoes. I won't need special shorts, shirts, socks, belts, sleeves, hats, etc. as a 5k doesn't require much fanciness. I need shoes, but first, I need the funds. Le sigh. This isn't a cry out for money, it's more like a cry out for someone to convince me to spend my money. I haven't spent that much on a pair of shoes in years. I became a frugal fanatic and push all belongings to the limit. Help! Last night I was back on the 'mill. Not defeated quite as early, but about 1.7 miles in I hit my wall. How silly! I pushed pushed pushed, and made it to 3.1 in just under 39 mins. S       L        O      W. I need to stop being so hard on myself, but if I'm not, how will I get better?! When I got home I started dinner. In a pinch I always make

Race Recap

Image
You may have seen my mini post on Saturday about my dismal race. I do hate being negative, but I was really unhappy with my performance. The breathing problems, the stumbling, the walking, the dramatics....I was a total mess. Today I want to show you all the awesome stuff leading up to the race! Muscle time!!! Making shirts for the race. Team 'Run Free: peace.love.run' in the house! Gear ready for the race. Nike tennis skirt (bad choice by the way. Rides all up in the wrong places), team shirt (Wal-mart), Brooks Ravenna 4.  (not pictured, SPI-belt)  We were so ready to go!! All smiles. M ran the race pushing her daughter, and not in a little jogging stroller, but in the fully enclosed bike trailer/stroller! And she beat me! Grrr. She was awesome! She said she was a little stoked that she beat me too. She should be. We aren't racing each other, but a W is a W. Made a shirt for her little girl. This is the back. Awwww.  Barking dogs afterwar

5k,ka,ka,kaput....

Today i gave an effort. Not good. Not bad. Just, an. I'm pretty sure I've developed adult asthma based on the near black-out 50yd before the finish line. I PR'd but that isn't saying much: still +35min. Yeowza. I'm not a marathoner, yet. I don't compete with others, only myself. I let God carry me. I feel I'm doing all the right things, I'm just not there yet. That's ok. But disappointing nonetheless. You know. Happy running today. Good luck Ragnar/SoCal girls, and everyone around the globe.
