Wanted to drop in and say hello again from sunny Florida!!! My legs are definitely feeling the ramifications of running 13.1 miles at 5:30 in the morning, I heard Michigan is having a warm spell... But do they have chip n dale hats?

Hahaha, other than that it's just lounging in the sun until cruise time!

Alright folks I did it! I just finished up the Walt Disney world half marathon! I'm pleased with my finish and now am ready for some fun in the sun!! So enjoy Michigan bitches! Bahaha! ;)

Once again I am heading back to Florida for the Walt Disney World Half Marathon. I officially earned 2000 dollars for the AT-Children's Project, and it appears that, that was the easy part of this adventure. The hard part will be racing 13.1 miles! I'll keep everyone up to date on how good, or awful I do. The cool thing for me is after the race I am going on a cruise! YAH!!!

The title of this says it all really, but I love cats! I am like a crazy cat lady except I only own 2 cats as opposed to hundreds. Honestly though if I could own hundreds, I would! The other night I was out at a bar up north with some friends and they had a back yard that was fenced in for smokers. Well in that yard was a beautiful cat! It was orange and adorable!
