4 Folder Copy Cat

I'm copying Chia's homework today:


1. Pick the 4th folder on your computer

2. Pick the 4th Picture

3. Explain the picture

4. Tag 4 more peeps. (you know I will skip this part)


I had to go to my shutterfly folder because I don't keep pics on my work computer.



Sooooo, this is from my Vegas trip with Spicy Latina a couple weeks ago. Remember? The trip when we made out with Kidd Rock (ok, not really). We were in the penthouse suite at the Palms for a cocktail party (yeah, that's how we roll). After a few martinis we thought it would be fun to lick the ice sculpture and take pics. I was hoping her tongue would stick because that would be a good story. At least we didn't fall in the pool in the room - some drunk girl did.


(Note: My dress is not very flattering in this pic, but I swear it's cute in person. It looks like I'm pregs.)

This was a super fun game. For me at least. I suggest you do the same. Maybe next week we can chose another folder and another number. Maybe this could become a fun Thursday thing - maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.

Going to a grand opening for a new restaurant/bar in town. Hopefully will have some interesting blogging material para manana. It will be the total "Newport Beach Scene." I'll explain tomorrow.


One last thing... I made up a fun recipe last night - it was kinda like a shrimp & vegetable quinoa jambalaya. If I can remember the recipe, I will post it. I just made it up. Healthy and delish!

Skirt Chaser 5k Report



The moment you have all been waiting for is near.

Never Fear.

The Denver Skirt Chaser 5K Race Report is here!

First things first. We got down to the race area a little early (I'm never one to be late) so of course, a "pre-race" drink is in order. I'm channeling Jackie O with the glasses. Denver Running Gal always has a big ol' smile (especially with a beer in her hand).




Met up with my guest blogger, Clinton and his friend T-Bone. (I just made that up.) According to Clinton, we were the best dressed there. Actually, everyone was dressed the same.



I also experienced my first "blogger met up" with the darling Running Duff and her hubby. It was his first race ever and he did great. They were so fun (thanks for the beer).

I never saw Vanilla, although I did look for him and his dirty hat. I hope this doesn't mean I have to send back all the money you guys sent me to sock him. Cuz that money is already spent.

The race starts with all the ladies in their skirts up front. Then 3 minutes later, the guys (skirt chasers) get to start and they try to catch us. Well, they almost did, but a girl ended up winning the race. The atmosphere was fun and festive and I really had a great time.

The skirts were surprisingly comfortable to run in. The "undies" part didn't chafe or rub (at least on me). BUT... let me tell ya - this race could have easily changed it's name to "ASS CHASER 5k." I saw more ass than a political convention.

Some of the ladies must have purchased the "g-string" version because when the skirt flipped up a bit while running, the cheeks were hanging out the bottom. Lots of cheeks, floppin in the wind. It did make the run go fast and was fun to pick people off. By the last mile, my lungs were burning from the altitude and I did get a little dizzy for a minute, but "legs keep moving" is a great mantra to get through that.

So, how did I do, you ask?

Besides totally rockin' the knee highs, here are the digits:

Time: 25:35 ( A PR by 2 mins)
Pace: 8:14 min/mile
Place: 99/609 women
