The fact that it's February gives me the chills...no, not because it's cold outside, well, I think it's cold, but some people would throw stones at me for saying that, but February gives me the chills for several reasons...
*taxes are looming in the coming months, so pretty much from February 1 until my taxes are filed I'm sitting near my desk with Pepto Bismol. Just kidding...a little.
*all the scrumptious, tempting, create-cavities-and-make-your-teeth-rot-out Valentine's Day candy everywhere you look...who can resist candy hearts?!?
*resolutions start waning due the lack of caring (did I really think I would clean every day? who was I kidding?!)
*the month is just so short that I just tell myself it's March...I can't believe February gets away with only having 28 days...I'm sure the other months are upset about this...
*the San Diego marathon is one month closer than it was last month when I signed up for marathon training (eek!)
About that last one...yes, I did voluntarily sign up for another marathon (maybe I should seek therapy?), but I'm still nervous about it...you see, when I run, I don't think about how long I have to run for. I just do it. And then later our trainers are like "wow, you ran 10 miles today" and that's when I'm like "OMGosh, that's so scary...glad it's over!" :)
Last May I ran the LA Marathon and you can read about the entire emotional experience HERE. I am a competitive person by nature and this year I am fully prepared to kick last years race time to the curb! Our running group this year is a great group of people and they make it so much easier to get up at the crack of dawn to go run. Any and all words of encouragement are greatly accepted and appreciated :)
Since it's that time of year again, I have brought out my stinky, sweat stained hat. I know, the hotness just oozes from me, does it not? You can see a blurry cameo of Bear on the bed in the shot...he wasn't about to let me interrupt his afternoon nap with yet another photo shoot.
Happy Monday!

You can do it! Run, Whitney, run! I love San Diego...just keep the "vacation" part of the weekend in mind. ;)
I think February, to be the shortest month, feels like the longest month.
(02.01.10 @ 04:16 PM)Hi Whitney! Thanks for your comment on my blog! You are so sweet to comment. YES, you HAVE to check out those sites on my blog. I am ADDICTED to the thrifty idea one. Really I, like you, love refinishing things and that site has given me more ideas and really a breath of fresh air to what I love! Also, knock off wood AWESOME!
