I did it! My first half marathon! <3

I am so proud of myself! I finished my first half marathon in 2:47! There were a few times where I kept thinking 'where the heck is the finish line?' LOL. It was really really long. I can't even imagine how a full marathon would be! wow. It was a lot of fun at this event because every other mile there were live bands playing music throughout the course, pumping us up. Also there were cheerleaders from different schools cheering us on.

There were about 11,000 runners! Can you believe that?! I was amazed. I placed 9,027 out of 10,969. That means I beat almost 2,000 runners! amazing. My friend David finished at 1:52 & Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboy player, beat him by 4 min! he said he saw Troy pass him up. I would've freaked out HAHA.

People are so creative when it came to this event, it was cute & humorous. A few girl runners were wearing tutu's, funny hats, it was interesting. Crazy people were out there too! I saw a guy running barefoot!!! o_O

The weather was perfect, even though it was a little chilly in the beginning. It was cloudy for the most part & it started sprinkling towards the end. My foot kept hurting when I was on mile 6 cuz the padding was a little off & I got a blister.. but as I kept running, it didn't hurt as much cuz I got used to it.

I'm gonna sign up for another half marathon on May 1st! it's called Heels & Hills. Cute huh? I'm gonna get creative with my attire this time around. I'll probably put ribbons in my hair.. definitely can't pull a tutu cuz I don't have stick legs.

Yay! I'm addicted to running these marathons now. My friends were right!

Halloween 2010

and now presenting Laura "la gata" {catwoman}

This year I wasn't even sure that I wanted to participate in Halloween festivities, even though it's one of my favorite holidays of the year since it's so close to my birthday. I just didn't feel any motivation since I've been unemployed, and not wanting or needing to spend money on a costume. Since I'm such the procrastinator, I didn't get the urge to find something until Saturday. I went to this Halloween costume store, but they didn't have what I was looking for. I had to make a quick trip to the grocery store, and I found my catwoman mask, which was the last one left. The other ones they had were white. I got it for only $4.99! I already had a black corset, black leggins, black shorts and boots that I had in mind to wear. 

Onto the pics!

3 kitties!

Jello shots!

Hope you guys had a spooky Halloween!!!

P.S. My birthday was pretty laid back. Just went to hang out with friends at a restaurant to watch the Rangers play the Giants, but they lost :-/ At least we made it to the World Series :)

My Rangers!

I admit I'm not a huge baseball fan, but to actually see my Rangers make it to the playoffs it is AMAZING. 

I'm watching the game right now and they are 5 to 3. I hope they win this game! they so deserve this since they haven't gone this far before. Rangers are making HISTORY! ;-)

 

10 Years

The highschool reunion was a hit! It was so good to see everyone. It almost felt like a Christmas party cuz everyone was in such a good mood. We danced, caught up with everyone and mingled. I spotted the class president, but he didn't look too good like he did back then. Besides, he has a gf so I wasn't stressing about it.

I'll post the rest on my Flickr account. I got many compliments that I still look beautiful and that I look the same, meaning I age well ;) I think this was a good turnout and I heard that hardly anybody went to Saturday's event. I have a bunch of people from school on my FB anyway.

Highschool Reunion

My 10 year highschool reunion is this weekend. I can't believe it's been 10 years! Boy, do I feel old! They're having the Homecoming game tomorrow night which I am pumped up to go because we'll have our own section. Then we're getting together at a Mexican restaurant and there's a $5 cover. Saturday is the actual reunion, and the tickets were quite expensive, around $50 to $60. I just can't justify spending that much being how I'm about to move in 2 months. I figure that Friday will be a good way of getting to see everyone and carry on. Besides, most of my classmates are on my FB.

One of my classmates Patti, posted a pic of her from her Senior year. She nudged me to post mine so I took a picture with my camera and posted it. I don't have my scanner with me since it's at my parent's so I had to do it this way.

I will edit this post and post the pics because I'm posting this through my email so that it will complete my profile LOL. I just hate seeing that progress bar everytime I go to my dashboard.

  This is my Senior pic that was on the yearbook. I noticed my mole here was smaller than what it is now! but I love my mole, hehe.

I remember I was 16 when I had this picture taken. I was wearing my 'Sweet 16' necklace. I still look the same, and I've been told this.

I really am excited to see everyone. I wonder if my cousin will go but her birthday actually is tomorrow so she may be out celebrating it with her friends and family. We aren't close anymore and we haven't spoken in about 3 years. It really is a shame, but sometimes people can't handle being in your life and they have to go their own way. If I could I would force her to stay with me, but it was so painful always trying and it not being reciprocated.

Would you go to your highschool reunion? and have you gone?
