Run Like the Wind!

Yesterday i compiled the following list of upcoming running events that I would like to participate in. Unfortunately I'm on the schedule to work every Saturday in March and the days I plan to take off are when I'm going to visit friends in far away places (which is definitely a good thing!).

**Update: My friend came down February 27-March 1 and we did the Run N' Plunge 5K at NC State! It was a lot of fun! It took us 41 minutes :( I'm still a newbie to this whole runnin stuff, go easy on me!

Can you hear me know??

Ok, so it's not verizon, but I got a new phone! I finally went in and signed a new 2 year contract with Altell and got me a spiffy new phone at the same time! I'm super excited :) And the fact that it was free doesn't hurt. It's the LG AX300 in silver, see:



I have had my previous phone for 6 years and apparently in the cellphone world that is an eternity. This new phone is really cool, it's got a camera! Sadly, I won't have my awesome ringtone anymore (sorry 50, it's just how I do), but the camera phone will make up for that.

Off to play with my new phone! Oops, I mean work, yea, work....

4-eyes

Last night I had my first eye exam. Well, not ever, but at least since elementary school, lol!

In one short week I will be the proud owner of my first pair of glasses. My prescription is fairly low, said the doctor, but boy what a difference it makes! I was shocked and embarrassed when she flipped the lenses back to normal from the prescription and I could see just how big of a difference they will make. I will only need them when driving (day & night) and if I need to read far away (I'm thinking work meetings with a projector or conferences).

Luckily my insurance covered everything except for the one upgrade I got (the Beyonce song "Let me Upgrade you" just came in my head, lol). I got some sort of something that reduces the glare on the glasses as well as makes them stronger and more scratch resistant. Please don't ask what my prescription actually is b/c as a newbie to this whole glasses/prescription world, I did not ask :( But, that is my lesson for now, and when my glasses come in I'll be sure to ask!

So go ahead and start slinging all the slander you can! Seth has already beat you to it, so I know I can handle it :)

How has everyone been lately? It seems like everyone I know is moving! SJL is moving down the road into a new house (but is still 3 hours away, grr); GR is moving 2 hours away; the mystical creature is moving down the road a bit; a couple in my life group is already half moved to Florida. Very sad! But its all for the better, and I'll get some new vacation spots out of some of them ;)

Have a great week! and don't forget to get your taxes done!
