It's Cold in Oklahoma!!!

I am so excited! I am sitting here at work (don't worry...I'm at lunch) freezing and sipping on a hot cup of chai and it is awesome! The cold..not the chai. Well, the chai is good too.

I love this weather. You get to dress in layers, eat comfort food, not shave your legs. Well, you don't have to. I'll do it at least once a week. You know. Just because. The only drawback to the cold weather is that there is less to do outside. But, give me a warm fireplace and I won't mind.

I have tossed sanity to the wind and signed up to run a half marathon in a couple of weeks. Am I ready for this? Uh...NO! Am I going to do it anyway? Uh...yeah. I'm getting a lot of encouragement from friends and loved ones. You know, stuff like, "Are you crazy?" and "You're running HOW many miles?". Makes you just warm all over doesn't it?

I'm still working on fundraising for the marathon I'm going to attempt in January. Who knew $4000 was going to be so hard to raise? Any ideas out there? Let's keep it clean. I hope everyone is having a Happy Monday. Well, try to anyway.

Running and Singing (not necessarily in that order)

My fundraising efforts for my marathon did not go quite as well as I thought they would this past week. I have been very blessed by the people God has put into my life at my church. We had a good turn-out for the pancake breakfast and everyone gave generously. I am still less than 1/3 of the way to my goal. It's a tad disheartening. As for the running itself, it's going a little better. 26.2 miles still seems like a long way away.

I will be performing in my first concert with the Singing Church Women on Thursday. I'm so excited. I love to sing and the music that has been chosen is beautiful. I wish "Battle of Jericho" had been left in, but that's just my opinion. I went to three of their concerts last year (as part of the audience) and the sound was amazing. I'm glad I get to be a part of it this year.

My sister started her own blog today. It already looks like it's going to be very fun and interesting. I've included her in my links (Taminee). You should really check it out. That's all that's interesting in my busy, little life right now. Have fun. Good night. And God bless.
