These Boots Were Made for Runnin'

I've really never been much of a runner. As a challenge to myself, I recently began training for a 10K. To assist me in this endeavor, I have enlisted the help of an Olympian, an iPhone app, and a spirit coach. Sidenote: I was born and raised in Texas and have not owned a pair of cowboy boots since 4th grade. These seemingly unrelated ideas of running a 10K and owning cowboy boots will soon collide. As a reward for completing my first 10K in a few months, I will acquire these lovely Old Gringo boots! I'm keeping my eye on the prize!!!

Sorry, kids...

Watch Out Wednesday

Just in case you were wondering, Casia is quickly gaining popularity among the 12 year old crowd.

T.V. Talk

After an incredibly mundane Monday post, I feel inclined to provide some entertainment to all my fans. (Yes, all three of you.) Also, the third day of every week shall be henceforth known as "T.V. Talk Tuesday."

This season, I've become a devoted enthusiast of a few new shows. As far as the wide world of television programming goes, my favorite night of the week is, undoubtedly, Wednesday night. In my humble opinion, the lineup on ABC is by far the best: The Middle, Better With You, Modern Family, and Cougar Town, each of these showcasing the same type of satirical humor. I am well aware of Modern Family's popularity; it's the obscurity of the other shows that concerns and perplexes me. After considering this conundrum, I have come to only one possible explaination for the lacking adoration: the people of America have not truly given these shows a chance. So, this week I urge you to forego American Idol, and tune in to ABC instead. You won't be disappointed!

I leave you with a clip from Better With You, and I hope you ENJOY!

Dear Casia

Dear Casia,

Thank you for giving me the courage to pursue my dreams of blogging. Without you, I may still be paralyzed by the fear of success. I am so very proud to own you.

Sincerely,

A Day in the Life...

... of a Casio Calculator Watch

06:17:00 Alarm.
08:36:27 First calculation of the day. (1290 + 378)/4 = 417
09:14:49 First compliment: "The calculator watch puts the fun in FUNctional!"
12:07:10 Biggest answer of the day: 15000 * 325 = 4,875,000
12:07:58 Most confusing calculation of the day: Find 25% of 106 *325 = 8,612.5... We think. PEMDAS?!
12:21:14 Two people commit to purchase Casio LDF40-1 and LDF40-7
01:40:00 Timed 1 minute class penalty for excessive talking.
03:28:35 There are 4 checklists per page. 146 checklists will be needed. How many pages should be copied? 146/4 = 36.5 Answer: 37
05:56:17 Taco Villa: green, bean burrito + extra cheese + sour cream + medium sweet tea = $4.19

07:15:08 Per request: 6754 + 789,456 = 796,210

Needless to say, Casia's debut today was a great success! I can't help but wonder what I would do without such a versatile watch. The Casio Calculator Watch is not just a luxury, it's a necessity!!

The Chronicles of Casia

A pink, little bundle of joy arrived by mail today. Her name is Casia. This 16 button digital dream machine is not only capable of keeping time, but can also perform simple mathematical algorithms. It is truly a masterpiece. I will wear my Casio LDF40-4 on my wrist and keep it close to my heart.
