and we're off...

I am officially done with most of my Christmas shopping and we're not even in November yet! Yippie for me! I'm so excited to be done, that I want to start wrapping all my gifts already. I love the holidays, and I want to enjoy them without having to deal with the crazy shoppers that turn into grumpy, evil shoppers during one of the best seasons of the year. This year I'm making some of my girlfriends go with me when I volunteer to wrap gifts and deliver them to underprivileged families in San Antonio. They don't know that they're doing this yet...but once we do it--we'll have lots of fun and then we can go out and have holiday drinks afterwards. Geeze, Halloween hasn't even passed and I'm already thinking about Christmas! I can't wait. Woo Woo!

OK, so today starts the official training session for the half marathon. I have gotten some very interesting comments regarding my new endeavour. Some of my friends are very supportive and happy for me, some of them have said that they want to train with me, and of course we all have the negative nelly friends... yeah, you know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that I don't want to claim as friends who said "ah you're not going to do that... its too far to run, what are you thinking!" When I finish my race... I'm going to want them to be the first I see! I'm so excited. I don't think many know just how excited I am to do this, but I think when its all said and done it will be a wonderful feeling.

So, my uncle is coming back into town today for a doctor follow up tomorrow. Thank goodness that my dad has volunteered to do the brother in law duties that so correspond to him on this one. I told him and my mom this weekend about how awkward it was having to explain some of the medical procedures to my uncle last week, and my mom just thought it was the funniest thing...yeah I so didn't see the humor in it. :)

Alright well I'm off. I will blog again tomorrow.
