I hope y'all had an eco-friendly day! I sure had a blast and got some new reusable bags (compliments to Henry's Market and Southern California Edison) to use when I go grocery shopping... gotta love the new tax that is being placed here! If you haven't heard... California just passed the "Bag Tax" and I guess it comes to effect next year. So when it does begin we will be charged $0.25 per bag at the grocery store!
I worked yesterday from 8-8! Yep, I pulled a Jeremy shift, but mine was way funner! We had an Earth Day event at our Fontana project site. Their was a DJ from 99.1 KGGI and he did a bunch of trivia questions... none the less I won a princess tank top with my jeopardy skills. I also had my face painted and ate food from the caterer and also ate some creations from Chef Aaron from the Fox TV Show Hell's Kitchen.
I did make a fool out of myself on winning the tank top. Remember first of all I am a #'s person and not a letters person.... the trivia question was:
What 4 states start and end with the same letter?
My first answer was: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas (LOL)! :::: BEEP WRONG:::: mind you they made sure everyone was aware of my answers with their mike and yes being teased was in my future for the evening!
With the help of others I said the right answer: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Ohio (duh, I knew that!)
Happy Belated Earth Day and Administrative/Secretary's Day! Tomorrow we are celebrating Admin Day and the April Birthday's for our coworkers... lots more food to be eaten. I am very thankful to be running 16 miles on Saturday and then dancing then night away... hopefully the extra pounds from this week will shed too :)
Blessing,
Mel

Hoppy Easter
Today is a day of celebration to Jesus and I am so thankful for all he has given me and my family/friends. Unfortunately I overslept church this morning! I really wanted to go but my body was so tired from the mentally exhausting week I had and long days that I didn't get up until nearly 11am! We have plans at 1pm with my in-laws today and then at 5:30 I have my bowling league.
I do need healing prayers right now with my left knee. I am going to be off from running this week and will be calling my doctor on Monday to get in their office. I am having some left knee pain that has been occurring in mild doses but yesterday it hurt more than normal. I have a goal to complete a marathon next month and one in June. I have decided to not run these marathons to my potential but more for fun and bling. I know I can complete them in the allotted 7hr time frame but I would like to do it without knee pain.
Yesterday my knee hurt from miles 10-13 and then both knees hurt for about 2-3 hrs after the run. I did take a nap yesterday with two ice packs wrapped around both knees... mind you I did run as fast as I could and doing this made me realize that the faster I run the longer it takes for my knees to start hurting. I know Jesus is a healing God and will heal my knee(s) so if you can be in agreement with this prayer for me I would greatly appreciate it!
Besides the knee pain and being on the sidelines this next week I am doing great! I plan on donating blood on Wednesday... I hope my hemoglobin is 12.5 or more so the American Red Cross will take me! I will make sure to eat a hamburger before going in to give me a boost.... as that usually works. I get a hamburger once every 56+ days on days I donate otherwise I stick to boneless skinless chicken breast and turkey breast because it is easier to digest, I hate bones, and healthier for ya....
Be thankful for what you have today! God is good and his mercy endures forever!!!! A healing God to all who believe! AMEN.
God Bless!

Last weekend water stop fun!
Waterstop #1 Take me out to the ballgame theme from our Temecula Team
Mardi Gras theme from our Team
Crossing the yellow brick road through the wizard of oz theme from the Inland Empire Team
Paul says ready set GO... TEAM!
Honored teammate Emma Borders, Lymphoma SURVIVOR training with me to run San Diego RNR Marathon!Happy GOOD FRIDAY
It better be a good Friday after my really really bad Thursday, lol!
Lets just say yesterday began with a stressful morning and I came in at 7am then by lunch time I dropped all of my lunch over the carpet next to my desk (in hopes to work through my lunch) instead I cleaned up the mess with my friend/coworker who was super helpful... By afternoon a copy job "in numerical order" left me with much of the originals all over the floor because I left the copy room for a few minutes... hit many roadblocks at work from morning to afternoon and ended up at home exhausted by 5:30pm and that is just a brief overview of how it began and ended.
Today is going to be much better... I can feel it :)
I will post pix when I get home of some fabulous waterstops we had on our training run on Saturday!
God Bless
