There’s something about some of my friends who always seem to rain on my parade. I don’t really get it, but this time I’m trying not to let them get me down. Two good things happened this weekend, and two different friends weren’t very supportive.

I found the car that I’m going to buy (crossing my fingers). It’s a 2008 CR-V. Black exterior, black leather interior. Sunroof. Tinted windows. Navigation system. I wasn’t there to look at the loaded one, but it just kinda drew itself to me and my mom. I was so excited when I sat in it. It was definitely THE car. Unfortunately, I can’t get a new car until the week of September 15th, so I’m hoping nobody goes to purchase the car. Anywho, when I told one of my friends about the car, I was told “um, you know that’s a mommy mobile right?”. Then the exterior of the car was critiqued. Sheesh. Whatever happened to “yay”?

Yesterday I participated in the Nike Human Race 10K with my brother Arnold and sister-in-law Paige. i haven’t run a mile since probably high school. Well, a real mile – not counting the mile on the elliptical machine. This was my first 10K ever, and it was a doozy. Holy smokes, the hills in downtown Austin, MLK and Dean Keeton are killer!! I started off running at a good pace, but I hit that first hill and lost all energy for awhile. I thought about cutting through campus and taking a short cut…haha! But I decided to stick it out, so I kept alternating jogging and walking. My official end time was 1 hour and 36 minutes. Not great, but I don’t think it’s too horrible for my first 10K…especially considering I went into the race cold turkey without any preparation. Anywho, another friend called me after the race to say a few of them were about to get some gelato. I said that I was exhausted and that my feet hurt, so I would pass. He then proceeded to say “what? how could you be tired after walking the entire race?” Ugh. A-hole.

But anywho…I love the idea of finding a new car. I hope that the same one is still there in two weeks!!! I will be super sad if it’s gone when I finally go back. And my entire body (back, neck, arms, legs, heels) are in so much pain. I am in need of a deep tissue massage.

Well I gotta go. Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill start tonight!!!!!!!!!!
