Yesterday, I wore this really cute BCBG shirt that is somewhat flowing, but you cinch the belt that is attached, and tie in front. It could be maternity wear, but clearly is not. Anyway, a security guard at the courthouse, with a completely straight face asked, "when are you due?". I responded with the obvious "I'm not!" She explained that she heard I was pregnant. The only plausible conclusion is that there is another blond attorney/former prosecutor that is pregnant and she mixed us up. Nonetheless, I never ask anyone something like that! Even if the baby's head is crowning...I still DON'T ASK, because I don't want to risk making the same mistake. Needless to say, I may not wear that shirt again, and I dragged my tired fat body to the gym last night where I did major cardio and pumped a lot o' iron. I may go back tonight after Bunco and in the morning!

Me, thaKing, and LA ran in the Midsummer Night's Run this past Saturday. It was so much fun! I highly recommend running with the Nike+. When the Nike Lady said "1 kilometer completed" it was so great to know exactly how far I'd already ran and that I wasn't using that much effort yet. Also, she helped me keep my pace and not kill myself with running two fast, like my last race. However, near the end the Nike Lady told me there was only 464 feet remaining. That seemed impossible at that point. The finish line was in sight, but yet so far away. I walked for about two steps then thaKing passed me, running. I would have none of that so I took every last bit of energy I had to catch up and pass his ass. We finished with the same chip time, but technically I crossed over in front of him. He's a great husband...I think he let me pass him. This was my first 5K. My main goals were to 1. finish, 2. beat thaKing, 3. finish in under 30 min. I achieved all my goals but the last...I finished in 30.15! Oh well, maybe next year.

I don't recall ever being as excited about the Olympic games as I am now. China's communist government violates human rights and stifles basic freedoms....but you must admit, they have poured maajah mad money into the 2008 games! Other nations have constructed monolithic stadiums for when they played host to the games, however, China's architectural endeavors literally crashed computers during the planning phase. The Water Cube, referred to as the Water Cube for its translucent, bubbly design, is absolutely amazing.

Please keep Ms. Ripley in your prayers. She has not been herself for quite sometime. After lots of testing, we finally found out what the problem was, yesterday. It is such a relief to at least know what's wrong. Ripley has a mass in her intestines and it may be cancerous. She is having surgery on August 21 to remove the mass, and hopefully, that will be the solution to all her problems. It is quite scary not knowing how old Ripley is, whether we should put her through this or not. We are guessing that she is 9 or 10 years old. Nonetheless, I want to keep her as comfortable as possible and I think the surgery is necessary to maintain that comfortable quality of life, or at least give her the best chance. With everything we have been through with our pets, I don't know why we have yet to purchase pet insurance.
This weekend thaKing and I traveled to Nashville to wish my OLD friend Darren, happy 30th birthday. We had a blast! I thought about taking his parents a host gift of moonshine and forgot to round up some homebrew. But no worries, they had their own 'shine that they purchased from the local Shriner's Club. I didn't know birthday parties could still be so fun at our age. Darren's parents promised to come see us for Keeneland. If they make it, all I have to say is, I hope we can keep up!
