That's a keeper

Is this what I actually look like when I run?  FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, that's awful.

I'm having a fat day

Figured I would remind myself that I am, by no means, fat.

This is good motivation to go to the gym.

Yep.  Heading straight to the gym in the morning.

I can't believe people still are attempting emails like this.   

This is interesting...

In researching for my law paper I'm writing tonight, I came across this little gem that I wish I had known about earlier...

Parental Involvement Leave, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 95-28.3.

This statute requires employers to grant four (4) hours per year of unpaid leave to any employee who is a parent or guardian of a school-aged child so that the employee may attend or otherwise be involved at that child’s school. The leave shall be at a time mutually agreed upon by the employer and the employee. The employer may require an employee to provide the employer with a written request for the leave at least 48 hours before the time desired for the leave. The employer may require that the employee furnish written verification from the child’s school that the employee attended or was otherwise involved at that school during the time of the leave. The statute also prohibits employers from discharging, demoting, or taking other adverse employment action against an employee who requests or takes this leave. The statute further provides a private right of action for any employee who has been discharged, demoted, or otherwise retaliated against. There is, however, no explicit private right of action to redress an employer’s refusal to grant the leave. 



OK I'll admit it, business law is kind of interesting.

Confession

I love it when I see pictures of girls I went to high school with who were TOTAL BITCHES back then and they are so fat now.  Like REALLY fat. 

HAHA - karma is such a bitch!

What the f---, Universe?

I just happened to click on the wrong button in my Instagram app tonight and I went to the "suggested friends" section and this is what it gave me:

Very fucking funny.

30 day squat challenge

Beginning on May 1st, I am starting a 30 Day Squat Challenge with my friend Misty.  The idea is that you perform an increasing number of squats every day for 30 days, starting with 50 squats and working your way up to 250 squats by the end of the month.

Um...  I better have an ass of steel by the end of the month if I can do 250 squats a day.

My tush hurts just thinking about it.

Wish me luck!

Can't. Stop. LAUGHING!

I came across this little beauty last week, but this Real Actors versions of this is CLASSIC.  Enjoy!

Ten is Perfect

Ten is perfect was the catchphrase for the TarHeel 10 miler that was going on in Chapel Hill this weekend.  Being that this was a race all through Chapel Hill, I signed up for the wussy version - the 4 miler.

I got up at the crack of dawn to drive myself to Blue Heaven to be ready for a 7am start.  The sun wasn't even up yet when I got there!  Oh and it was FREEZING cold.  Why is it always freezing when I run these things??

I lined up with the other 4,000 people who decided to participate in this, and I was reflecting back on what this race supported - the UNC Lineberger Cancer Center.  What a great way to give back!

The race started at the Bell Tower on campus and wound it's way through back roads and neighborhoods.  It was a beautiful route, but I was disappointed we didn't actually run around campus more, or even down Franklin Street.

At least there was encouragement everywhere you looked!

The race was fairly painless for most of the way, until I hit the 3 mile marker.  The race coordinators thought racing the 3rd mile up Laurel Hill Drive would be a great idea.  For anyone that doesn't know Laurel Hill Drive in Chapel Hill, it's the steepest incline I've ever seen.  It actually reminded me of San Francisco!  There was a Laurel Hill Challenge worked into the race, where the person who got up the hill fastest won a crazy prize.  Let's just say I didn't win.  :)

The finish line for this event was in Kenan Stadium and there were tons of people cheering as I crossed the finish line!  It was very cool!  Imagine my surprise when I looked down and realized that the race route was not an even 4 milers, but rather 4.29 miles!

I was so proud of myself that I finished this race.  I honestly felt like I could have run 5 miles!  That's the next goal!

The best part of finishing this race was the awesome medal I got this time.  Check it out!
