I want YOU...

It's been a while since my last post, but I just found out that I am a potential scholarship winner. All I need my fellow bloggers to do is vote. Right now, I'm 6th out of 8th place and it would be really helpful if I could get up to 50 votes. I need to be at least in third place by August 27 at 11:59 PM. Please put in your vote and help me get closer to affording college! Here's the link:

Thanks,

Having Fun with Carmageddon...

As a native Angelena, I found this moment to be perfect for creating 405 closure shirts and other goodies. The 405 closure has been nicknamed "Carmageddon" because there is going to be tons and tons of traffic while road maintenance widen the 405.

This shirt is available here: http://www.zazzle.com/i_survived_the_405_shirt-235470623848603071?gl=Creativefreak&group=womens&lifestyle=classic&rf=238287283470768240

To all those Angelenos and Angelenas out there: have a great Carmageddon weekend, and may you not be in traffic for an eternity!

July 4!!!!

Happy fourth everyone! Tomorrow I have a race and I'm excited. Last time I ran a race and got a free pair of shoes and they are super nice. Although there are no prizes like that in this upcoming race, it's still fun to be part of it. Then there's a parade and a whole bunch of things going on. Last year during this time I was up in Sacramento and later I was in Ashland, OR for a Fourth of July fireworks show. I miss it up there, I so don't want to bake in the heat down here in L.A. The thing that's holding me back is art class (which, I have to admit, is pretty rigorous). It will at least help me with my Zazzle skills :) At least I'm spending my Fourth of July on the beach, so I can feel the breeze of the ocean and see the stars shine through the sky. Can't wait!
What are you all doing for the Fourth? Whatever it is, it should be fun!

Happy:)

Why am I happy? Today I woke up at 5:30, ate a bit, dressed in running shorts and forced myself out of the house. It's not as bad as it sounds--really. Today I ran a race--a 5K, that's 3 miles, called the Brentwood Run. It was so beautiful today. Running was going to be music to my ears...except when I actually ran my legs felt like lead, and so did my arms. Maybe I should get new running shoes. The other week, I went to this running store and they told me I have to replace my insoles and shoes every 6 months, which is what I haven't been doing. Well, even though I have expired shoes, I ran over a hill and pushed myself to sprint through the finish line. I'm glad I did. I got 24 minutes, something seconds (to tired to tell exactly what time it was). I literally felt like I was going to faint or throw up. But when I saw the results afterwards, I immediately lit up. I got 4th in my age/gender division. Yes, 4th! So close to getting a medal. Next time...hopefully next time. But I'm still happy:) at least I know I'm still running well.
