It was a Thursday

Thursday didn't really go as planned. Work brought surprises. After work brought traffic problems, a missed running group and lightning (yikes). This type of day (it's a darn Thursday again) leads to randomness.

• On this crazy day, I got some pretty rockin' news: I'm sweating pink. What does that mean? It means I'm a Sweat Pink Ambassador. So, what does that mean? It means that I'll sweat hard, play hard and inspire those around me to achieve their best selves. Read more about it here.
  
  
  

• I didn't consider myself a Beyonce fan before Sunday. I liked some songs, but was not overly crazy about her (unlike her husband, Mr. Carter ... love some Jay-Z). Then, the Super Bowl halftime show happened. She was incredible, amazing, fabulous. She sang live, and she rocked it. And she indulged me a Destiny's Child reunion. Thanks, Bey. 
• Speaking of Bey and Jay, they were in New Orleans the weekend before the Super Bowl. So was I. Where's the meet-up, folks? Or, more realistically, a sighting. I want to improve my celebrity sightings. Right now, I've got a blurry photo of Vanilla Ice. That's it. Jay would have been a major rapper upgrade.

• Everyday, at least four times per day, I'm looking up at seven flights of stairs. The elevator is being replaced in our building. With a dog, this makes for lots of trips up and down. They estimate it will be out for four to six weeks. Nine days down (and up)!

• The Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon is this weekend! I loved this race last year, and I can't wait to rock it again. From an expo on a Major League Baseball field to bands along the course, this race really does rock. And, the name includes my favorite word: rock.

• Stay tuned next week for my very first and very awesome giveaway! Hint: if you like running and are female (sorry, dudes), this giveaway is going to rock your world! (A badge in the right sidebar is even more of a hint.)

Do you like Beyonce? Did you like the Super Bowl halftime show? Do you like Jay-Z? Any good celebrity sightings? Have you rock a Rock 'n' Roll race? What did you think?

Wacky Wednesday

It's that time again. Time for randomness:

• I want to go back to Hawaii. Like, really, really want to go back. 

Can you understand why I want to go back?

• Although, I live in a pretty darn nice place. With a beach. And tropical weather. 

•  Nancy Grace irritates to me to no end, yet I find myself watching her show quite often. Why do I do this? Why do I watch someone so annoying? Darn you, Nancy Grace.
• Lately, I keep rapping these lines non-stop, all day, over and over and over again: "Psycho, I’m liable to go Michael; Take your pick, Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6." It's from Jay-Z and Kayne's "Paris" (the nice way to say it, trust me), and I can't stop. I'm not even sure I actually like the song, but I do love all Michaels mentioned. Maybe that's why?
