I think I should do a sarcastic happy post after everything that went wrong today! Alas, I'm gonna pull some awesome things out of the seemingly pile of garbage day I had! WOO HOO for positive mental attitude (which we abbreviated as PMA in my cheerleading days.....feel free to use it)!
1. My shins didn't hurt much at all on my five mile run (I won't talk about the fact that I have since pulled my psoas muscle and can barely walk, bend down, lift, or generally MOVE at all now). I am pretty sure my body hates me. And I'm pretty sure my body should know that I'm stubborn and I WILL win this battle. I will run this stinkin' mini marathon in April!!!
2. Louisville ALMOST beat the number 2 team in the country. But then they lost by 1. I was happy. Then I was sad. :(
3. This isn't going too well, is it? Okay.....let's see....my kids are pretty awesome. And on the first day of two weeks without Billy, they were both very well behaved! Thank you, Blake and Lola for saving the day!
4. I lost some more weight. That's always good, right? I should be to my target before race day, for sure! :) That is, unless I start eating everything on earth to distract from the stress and frustration of this darn injury!
5. Blake did great at basketball practice. And Lola and I had fun with (her imagination) Lightning McQueen and Mater. They were all over the gym and nobody even knew! :)
Keepin' it real, folks. And always trying to stay happy! Have a wonderful week and stuff!

Two Cents Tuesday!
It's that time again. And I'm almost OUT of time to publish this! So what am I thinking today? Well....I just got home from a Pacers game (one in which they defeated the Utah Jazz...WOO HOO)! Whenever I go to sporting events, I get a kick out of what people wear. I'm in no way judging others and their ensembles. I mean, I'm no fashionista by any means! I'm not talking about the average folk, anyway!
My focus is on the people who wear random sports jerseys, t-shirts, etc....just because they are going to a game. For example, if you are going to a basketball game (go Pacers), you really don't have to pull out that old Chicago Bears jersey. It IS a sporting event....but it is NOT a Bears game. So now do you know what I'm trying to say? My theory is....if you don't have a shirt representing the team playing....perhaps just wear normal clothes? Just a thought.....Because it's kinda irritating to see all the random sports teams represented at a game. So basically....if you don't look like this guy, (Pacers Yellow Man) just wear a regular shirt and some jeans! Perhaps?
And that's my two cents!
*Disclaimer* If you are one of those people who show up to a football game wearing a Nascar jersey/shirt, I'll still be your friend! I just might ask you to change your habits!?! And I'm sorry if I offended anyone!

HAPPY! :)
Five things making me happy right now? How about that AMAZING Cards win over the Huskies tonight?!? Yup. That's my number 1.
1. The U of L victory (in case you didn't catch that from the first time I said it)! GO CARDS!
2. Blake didn't have school today (it was a flex day for snow but we didn't have any snow days so yay)! He was awesome. We had such a great day!
3. My legs are still running! Well...not right now but they run every day! They still hurt a bit but there's no way it's a stress fracture (according to Dr. ME). So I keep on training. 5 miles on Saturday was a piece of cake. Today's 4 mile run wasn't bad at all! I'm on the way to 13.1!
4. The Voice is back on. It caused a huge scheduling conflict with all my other shows. But I'm making it work. And I'm watching right now! Oh, how I love Blake Shelton!
5. I have yellow nail polish on. Jaundice looking? Nah. I'm rockin' it. I'll show ya! Don't mind that I apparently have old lady hands now. Geesh.....
Happy week to all of my readers (who I think are getting few and far between.....COME ON over and check out my blog, people)!!!!!!!

Super Bowl Eve!
Pacers game in Indy the night before the Super Bowl? Yes, please. I'm not scared to battle a crowd for a night of basketball and celebrity watching! It wasn't as nightmarish as I thought it might be. We left REALLY early but it all worked out! We got to see the hordes of people in Super Bowl Village. And we got to see the big crowd at the game! We had a great time!
The Pacers lost to the Magic, which wasn't so awesome. But the game was SOOOO much fun. Pretty much the...Best. Game. Ever. The fans were really into it. The game was really close. There were lots of technical fouls called on the Magic. There was a small fight (which seemed way bigger than it was when we were there). I got to see Earl Clark (Louisville star who now plays for the Magic). And finally.....there were several celebrities sitting pretty darn close! Who? Well, boxing champ, Floyd Mayweather caused quite a stir when he arrived with his posse of about twenty dudes. He brought along his friend, rapper, 50 Cent. They were sitting courtside right in front of our section so we were pretty close to the action. Lil Kim was sitting about two rows over. And finally, my favorite, Adam Sandler was sitting in a suite across the arena from us. Of course the pics aren't great, but I still took them. I'm slightly obsessed with ALL things Adam Sandler. So even though he was pretty far away, he was in the SAME building with me. And that made me happy! :):):)
A big thank you to our awesome friends, the Mowreys for a GREAT Super Bowl Eve!

| My guys, warming up! |

| Had to get a picture of Earl Clark (used to be E5...now he's E3)! |
 |
| One more of Earl! |
 |
| Floyd Mayweather in the white shirt (bending down) and 50 Cent is in the blue NY hat. |
 |
| A couple more of Floyd. |
 |
| Hard to see him, I know. But Adam Sandler is right above the security guard. He has his hand on his chin. |
 |
| Lil Kim is next to the guy in the orange shirt! |
 |
| 50 Cent finally stood up but I still couldn't get his face. Blue shirt and blue hat! |
 |
| Fans finally discovered Adam Sandler in suite 105. He is the one getting comfy! ;) |

NFL EXPERIENCE!!!!
A couple reasons why Indianapolis is a pretty cool place to live right now???? 1. The Pacers are AMAZING and super fun to watch! I wanted to include the picture below from a couple weeks ago because I forgot to blog it back then. Oops! Oh, and the other reason it's kinda (super) cool around here? Two words. Super. Bowl. And let the madness begin!!!
We had the chance to head down to the NFL Experience and check out the Super Bowl Village on Wednesday! We were able to go with our good friends, the Mowrey family! We had a blast! Lola was a little (VERY) rambunctious. But I survived. And poor Alan got stuck with stroller duty through the MASSIVE crowds!
Anyway, I didn't get to rub elbows with any famous celebrities like I wanted. But we did see Plaxico Burress signing autographs. And we saw some other famous football player with an entourage. I didn't know who he was, though. Oh and of course, Blue (the Colts' mascot was there).
Blake had tons of fun! He played the Kinect, he kicked extra points, threw footballs, caught passes, ran a 40 yard dash, and......wait for it....went ziplining at the end of the night! I can't believe he went through with it. He wasn't really as scared as I though he would be. He even let go for a brief second to do a fist pump! I'm including the video but after 30 seconds, his bit is done. I didn't know how to edit that out! Sorry! When he was done, he said he wanted to do that every day. Since I can't afford to set up a zipline on a daily basis, I guess that won't be happening for him. Rats.
So here are a million photos showing how much fun we all had! I guess there are certain perks to living in Indiana after all! Happy Super Bowl watching. What's that? Who am I rooting for? I can't believe I'm saying this....The Patriots. I just threw up a little in my mouth. The reason (and ONLY) reason is because I want Chad Ochocinco to get his Super Bowl ring and then get the heck out of there (New England), Oh, and I kinda think Wes Welker is funny. And that's it. Oh wait. I also LOVE Deion Branch. How could I not? He is one of my very favorite Louisville football STARS! So there you have it. I'm silently cheering for a team I generally despise. But for my fellas on the team.....I'm gonna do it! Here's hoping I see someone around town in the next couple days! I can imagine, right? :)
