Its Pinterest Im in Love

Have you jointed Pinterest yet?
It's the latest rage going around the internet & I'm in love.

Do you have hundreds of bookmarks on your computer with fun ideas that you have found on the internet?

Well, that is where the beauty of Pinterest comes in....all you have to do is "pin" something & it saves it right there for you.

Here are some of my pins:

All your bookmarks & ideas all in one place.

It's genious I tell you.

And, it's addicting.

That is why I didn't let myself join until after school got out.

It is my new time suck! Ha!

Amazing ideas...all in one place.

So glorious!

Here are my boards for the girls Birthday Party Ideas:

Oh, and look at all the fun recipes I have found:

Let me know if you are on Pinterest so I can check out your pins.

Proof that Im still competitive

...when we ran our 1/2 marathon we both said, "We couldn't care less about our time, we just want to finish." And we did, with a 2:10:30 time---not fabulous but not the worst, either.

This time we said, "We couldn't care less about our time, we just don't want to die." We'd mentioned the 4:30:00 cut off as a respectable time, but we decided we didn't really care. And I firmly believed that statement until just now.

I was reading through some running blogs and stumbled upon this fact, which hit me like a ton of bricks.

Oprah Winfrey ran her first and only marathon back in 1997 in 4:29:20. Dude, I really want to beat Oprah. My inner competitive athlete just emerged while sitting at this computer and I thought, "If freaking Oprah can run sub 4:30 then so can we."

And just like that I've decided that I care about our time. So now it's out here on the blogosphere, which means it's really going to suck if we post a 5:00:00 marathon or something....but whatever. Right now I want to beat Oprah and come in under 4:20:00. That would be exactly 10 minute miles, which is our average, but it won't allow for any walking/puking/dying/crying time.

But when I'm near death and my legs are burning, I will just picture rich Oprah [who I happen to love, by the way] sitting on her talk show couch and bragging that she ran a 4:29 marathon. Because if I'll never meet the legend in real life, at least I can beat her in a marathon, right?

Does that make me psycho or just competitive? It's not like I care about beating any 'real' people, or friends, or other bloggers [I'm sure they'd all whip my 4:20:00 goal anyway]. Just Oprah.

And I still don't want to die, either. I hope that's not too much to ask.
