Out with the old...

2008.08.13
pixel
...In with the new! FINALLY....I got new running shoes...and they are pretty sweet if I do say so myself...but...gasp...they aren't Nike...this is my first pair of non nike shoes I have bought in the past 10 years...not even kidding...and my wallet let me know about it...these puppies were.....ugh...$120.......GAH!
pixel
And that gray part on the midsole is why....I have messed up feet...high arches, so when I walk, my arch collaspes causing me to over pronate...(I.e...run on the insides of my feet) So, I need that extra support (the gray part) to keep my foot straight...And they are Saucony..which makes really great running shoes...they are a running company...so I put all my faith in the running guy that sold me these, and I will continue to put one foot in front of the other! And I shouldn't need new shoes until the spring :)
pixel
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH (that is me singing "AH") El Mexicano!!! Again...YUM CITY....We both got Taco Salads today...me, chicken...Ed had a fajihita or however you spell that. This is the same thing we got last time too...haha, we need to find a new thing there :) But..it was just as good this time!
pixel
This guy was "baaa-ing" at us! He was funny!
pixel
Ed's favorite animal in the whole world...a cow..but not just any cow, he likes the brown and white ones! haha!
pixel
We were laughing at this for a good 10 minutes...this sheep had grass on it's head, and he kept looking around like he couldn't figure out why there was grass in his eyes!
pixel
I took this picture, because look at the cute curly tail! Awh!
pixel
He wanted a close up!
pixel
Ducks!!!! We love ducks!
pixel
This guy was fanning all out, he was angry at some kids that were walking by! haha....oh, how animals make us laugh!
pixel
THE Duckers...we have these exact same kind of ducks that live by us...There is a huge ditch all the way down the road that we live on, and these guys are always by each other...a boy and girl...we call the "The Ducker Family" ...there are a bunch of different ducks that hang out in the same spots....We can always count on two boys and a girl hanging out beneath this one tree in someone's yard...We feed them bread when they are in the ditch....and everyone always waits for them to cross the road....they all pretty much own our road!
pixel
This horse had an outfit on...haha!
pixel
This was SO FUNNY...this little monkey took change out of your hand and then tipped his hat to you! SO FUN! I gave him two quarters two different times...Ed took the picture! hehe...I'm a sucker for a change grabbing monkey!
pixel
Ahh, the fair...where teenage love is in the air..haha!
pixel
This is the stupid game that we spent 12 dollars on...haha, no kidding...but it held our interest for awhile I guess!
pixel
We bought these journals today to...we are going to start writing down our racing times, and put our bibs in here, and writing down different things about the race....I know, I'm a documented freak...we document everything! haha!
pixel
Oh my gosh...let the Heaven's open up and the light shine down...I have had the biggest problem EVER trying to find earphones that fit in my ear. I am in awe of people who can wear the earphones that come with the ipod...and the ones that are little buds that fit in your ears...I have went thru 4 different kinds of earphones, and can't get any of them to work...so I am almost crying thinking I have the weirdest ears in America...why can everyone else wear those and not me??? Am I alone in this? So when I found these...I about jumped up and down....well...I think I actually did. I tried them on and it was like Heaven on my ears! So, they only had one pair left when I found them that were grubby and all tried on by everyone, so I've been dreaming about them, and today while we were in Target in Midland, I FOUND THEM.....And the rest is history! No more worrying!
pixel
Our favorite new no-sugar drink was on sale at Target...we got two of them :) Hooray!
pixel
August 13. Today was such a fun day. Ed had the day off, so we did a bunch of running around....

Cashed his check, paid his credit card, and loan...then ate at El Mexicano again (I told you we'd be back soon!) I bought some new RUNNING SHOES! FINALLY...Then, headed to Midland to go to the Midland County Fair....checked out all our favorite farm animals....gave .50 cents to a monkey who removed his hat for me afterwards..haha....ate some ice cream, played some cheesy carnival games, went to Target, got new ear phones and more water....then headed to the gym, ran....lifted....got home at 11:30pm...watched some olympics, headed to bed :)

merin1011 Yay for new shoes and powerade zero - love both of those! Oh, and I also love farm animals and monkeys, so I pretty much adore this post, haha.
And earphones never work right in my ears either!! It's not just you!!!

mandylouwho The fair pictures look like fun! I'd totally pay $120 for shoes, but they wouldn't be running shoes ;-)

julieh4813 Great new kicks-- hope they do the trick for your feet. Nothing worse than sore piggies. Love the picture of the sheep "why is everyone staring at me? Is something on my head?" Classic.

neffijer This sounds like a great day...the monkey looks adorable ( I think that I would have given him the $12 that the game got, but just a quarter at a time!)

sweetT5 I used to have that brand of shoe...I have high arches that are falling now and they were good for my feet. You will probably like them. Hope they work for you.
