Likes and Dislikes

So I have been texting my sister lately of a few of my recent thoughts of likes and dislikes. The one I sent her the other day was hilarious. She even mentioned it to me today when I was talking to her that it made her laugh. It is one of my dislikes. I never understood it but why on earth people like these things I will never understand. Every Easter these things come out in full force. But as far as I am concerned they are the most disgusting candy ever known to man. Behold . . . the Marshmallow Peep. I went to the store yesterday and found two whole shelves dedicated to this wretched candy and then I turned around and found another display full of them



As for some of my recent likes I have come across two albums which deserve a worthy listen . . . the first I know all the stereotypes. It is Kris Allen from American Idol. Yeah yeah totally over produced. But the other I heard one of his songs on the radio which made me curious so I went out and downloaded the whole album and it became an instant favorite of mine.



The next I also came across by listening to the radio, but I also fell in love with it after a few listens and had to download. The band is named The Script. They are from Ireland and have such influences like U2, The Police, The Neptunes, Timbaland, & Van Morrison. Ha ha ha, gee it's no wonder I found a liking to this band. . . they swear a little in two of their songs, but don't let that discourage you from listening to their other stuff. They are a good little Indie/Alternative Band.

Progress

Okay so it's been about a month since my last post, so much has happened. They totaled my car. Which wasn't so fun, but at the same time I wouldn't really want it back after how much damaged had been done. A week later I bought my new car. Which is a story in and of itself. I bought a 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid. It is silver. It has 28,000 miles on . . . then again it is now probably 29,000 seeing that I've had it for about month. ha ha ha gotta love commuting to work. I'll post pictures later. But for the most part I love it . . . . I miss a few of the luxuries of my accord. But I don't miss the $180 I spent on gas each month vs my $120 now. Wahoo!

It took them about a month to finally get the police report but almost all is said and done. 100% his fault. We already knew that though. I have already settled my Bodily Injury Claim and now I am just waiting on my reimbursement for my deductible and the car rental.

All of this accident stuff put the training for a 5k off a few weeks, but I am back into training full swing. I just finished my 3rd week of training and I was thinking . . . wow I can do this. Then today knocked me back into humble pie. This weeks training consists of 5 min warm up, 3 min run, 1 1/2 min walk, 5 min run, 2 1/2 min walk, 3 min run, 1 1/2 min walk, 5 min run, and 2 1/2 min walk. After the first 5 min I thought okay that was a little challenging but not too bad. 2 min into the last 5 min I thought I was going to die. I finished . . . I had to stop a little in the middle, but I did it . . . but I guess that is how life is . . . . in the beginning something may seem a little challenging. But after a while you build your muscles (spiritual, physical, emotional, mental) and things seem normal then another challenge comes a long and requires us to work a little harder and flex our muscles a little more. I am really grateful for my many challenges in life. They allow me to grow and learn. Thanks all for your support. More updates later. =)
