Suck It Up Princess

Well, I did the running clinic last night, even though I didn't want to. It was 90 degrees outside, humid, and I was in a horrible mood (due to not getting the job). But, I was con'd into going anyways - I say con'd because I was told that if I wasn't going, neither were other members...So of course, I went. I did pretty good, all things considered. I ran a 13:09 for 2 miles. Not fast, by any means, but okay. That's 24 seconds slower per mile, but it was HOT. So, I'm cutting myself some slack. I'm going to try my best to get a longer run in this weekend. We shall see. BTW, the "Suck It Up Princess" is from a shirt I saw while running yesterday. It read : "Suck it up princess, nobody ever drowned in sweat." Or something of that nature. :)

Moving on.. Tonight is another "me" night. Meaning, hubs has to work until the wee hours of night and so I get to do whatever I want. That's the thing though - I have no idea what I want to do. Shopping? Eh, I went on lunch, bought a few things... And I'm not a big shopper, by any stretch. So, I'm thinking of going tanning, then just hanging out by myself and catching up on the Tivo and some movies... Exciting, I am!

I wanted to say thanks for the comments on the job. It really does mean a lot. This makes the 2nd job that I've had an interview for and have been turned down. This is new to me. I've always gotten the job after the interview. Always. So, this feeling is new and it sucks. But, I'm making it. I drowned my sorrow in some Ed's Smiley Face Cookies, Taco Bueno, and 2 miles of hot running. ha.

Tomorrows agenda.... A haircut and a 4 year old's birthday party at a ranch. I'm kind of excited!! I hope yall have a great weekend!

I missed it... Sorry you didn't get it. That really stinks! I can understand where you are coming from. What it does to your ego when you keep getting turned down. I hope that *perfect* job comes along soon! Hang in there! It will happen!

i am so proud of you running! i went today too, though it wasn't 90degreees here. i am slowly building up my stamina. thankyou so much for your kind words on my blog, i can't express thru typing how much your support means to me! if you don't mind, i think i'm gonna post something similar to your running stats on my blog...
hope you enjoyed your night to yourself, and as for the job, it totally sucks, but, i have faith that God is leaving you free for something even better. it still sucks though:( have a great weekend!

Well done on the running anyway there is no way I could even do a mile haha!

I read your last poast about the job. I just blame the economy at the moment. My fried who is used to getting jobs has had a strong of not getting them because there are like 50 applicants for one position. It's staggering really!

Have fun at the party! xxx.
