Let the Record Reflect
I've never been a runner. But last summer I had the crazy idea to work up to the point where I could run a 5k. I ran pretty much all summer, but never made it. This summer... mission accomplished! My time -- 31:34.2...and I'm still running... and I'm loving it!

No One Likes to Change their Underwear - Part II: I Postpone the Innevitable
I spent Memorial Day weekend in Omaha with my family. On Saturday, I went to Target with my Mom. While there, I checked to see if, perchance, they had my favorite type of underwear, which I'd previously failed to locate at the Super Wal-Mart in Ames. (See previous entry -- "No One Likes to Change their Underwear.") Lo and behold, they did -- but only in a larger size. This discovery provided a glimmer of hope, however, that my beloved style was still in the process of being phased out.
Next stop: Kohl's. No Hanes in sight. But I wasn't about to surrender.
Onward to ShopKo. Victory! I grab the package off the rack with a shriek of delight. Hurriedly, I search for more. There's another! And another! I hug five packages of the same size and style to my chest with one arm while scouring the racks for more of the same with my free arm.
Once convinced that all available merchandise is in my possession, I stop to think. All five contain the same variety of color and design. No matter. This may be my last chance ever to live in comfort. All five go into the cart and through the checkout lane.
$37.40 later, one thing is certain -- I have succeeded at postponing the inevitable.
