Gary Oldman (Sirius Black in HP) is on his fourth wife.  Every time he gets married, his wives get younger and younger.

Wife # 1 - Leslie Manville (87-90)  born in 1956.

Wife # 2 - Uma Therman (90-92) born in 1970

Wife #3 - Donya Fiorentino (97-01) born in 1967

Wife #4 - Alexandra Edenborough -(08-present)  born in 1977

#3 is a bit off, at three years older than wife #2.

Anywho - not that this has anything to do with me, I just found it interesting.

If it was me, I think I would say, “You’ve been married HOW many times?”  And I probably wouldn’t continue to date them.  Much less marry them, thinking “Well, maybe I’ll be different than the other three.”  Yeah, right.   I’m one to think that marriage is for life.  And you should work at it - and you can’t just say, “Right, well, this isn’t working.  See ya!”

But is expecting to be married only once suddenly old fashioned?

We heard you were feeling a little…..

And walk places, don’t drive!

This one is by far my favorite.  I mean, what the hell IS that thing?  It’s seriously like a plate on a headband.  The sad thing is that it costs 20 pounds, and the hat hats cost 50!

I wanted to talk about this again, cause I think Gravatars are awesome.  You should all get one.

I just recently learned about a Gravatar.  No, it is not an awesome monster/alien hybrid or anything cool like that… it is a Globally Recognized Avatar!!!

I had always wondered why I left comments on blogs, and I just showed up as this stupid little shadow, but other people had pictures!  I didn’t know why…. but, thanks to Roni’s Weigh blog that I read daily, I now know that I just needed a Gravatar!!!!  So I went to their site, and I got one.  I’m very excited because now when I leave a comment on someone’s page, they will see a cute little picture of me.

And so, go to the site so when you leave me comments, I can see your cute little mug, too!!!

This photograph shows everything that I want in life.  That’s it.  That’s all I want.

I am currently on some park in Boston sitting against a tree reading a book. It is quite glorious and a beautiful day.
I got into Boston a tad later than expected and when I looked at the train schedule my two options were 1:20 or 4:40.  Steve offered to drive me home at 5 when he got out of work, but I didn’t want to wait that long. Now that I know the train leaves only 20 minutes before, I think I’m going to take him up on his offer! It will save me $8, and it will be nice to catch up.  But more importantly, I’ll save $8.  Heh.

Megan bought our tickets to Brussels! £29.50 ($42) each.

The best thing about rearranging my room is that now my X-Files posters are all visable.

Saturday was a dreary and rainy day, so I didn’t want to do my 11 mile run.  I would wait and do that Sunday.  It would be sunny, but slightly chilly.  Instead on Saturday, I went for a quick 2 mile run, just to do something.  As I started running, my right ankle starting to hurt.  I hadn’t even gone half a mile when it started.  I almost decided to turn around, but I did not.

After I got home, it still hurt, which was unusual.  I had felt this same pain before, and had even pointed it out to Larry, who is an expert runner, back in February.  Usually the pain went away after I was running for a bit, or at the latest, once I was done running.   It is now Sunday, and it still hurts.  I’m not sure if it really hurts, or if I’m just thinking that it does, and psychologically making it hurt.  The pain could very well be psychosomatic.  I could just be worried about being in pain and not being able to run my marathon.  Especially with a $50 race fee that isn’t refundable (another reason why I hate  money - it makes me worry about things).  Nevertheless, I went out today and bought an ankle brace, which I will start wearing while I run for extra support.  I also bought Salonpas which a woman at church recommended.  They are Japanese and they “relieve aches and pains in the muscles and joints, particularly those associated with backache, arthritis, strains, bruises and sprains.”  In Japanese, the pain or stiffness in your neck or shoulders is called katakori. I currently have them on my neck and shoulders, and it feels GREAT!  I got 40 pads that stick on for only $4!

But anyway, I’ve been icing my ankle on and off for two days now, and elevating it when I can.  I took the day off today, and also plan on resting tomorrow, too.  I will go back to running on Tuesday, to allow myself with enough time to rest.  Shauna said that if I’m up to 10 miles already, I should be ok taking a week off on my long run.  I have four weeks left until my half marathon, and I think that’s plenty of time to get up to 12, and then work my way down again before the big day of 13.1.  They say if you can do 12 in training, you can do 13 in a race.  But I feel like if I can do 10 in training, then I can do 13 in a race.  After 10 miles, another 3 would be nothing!  Especially if the race is pretty flat, as I hear this one is.

So now, I’m using a heating pad to see if that makes it feel any better.  I’ve been trying to do some research on what to do, and even IF my ankle is sprained.  I can walk on it just fine, it just feels weird.  I’m not even sure if it hurts or not, it just doesn’t feel right.  I will elevate it tonight while I sleep, and I’ll wear my ankle brace all day tomorrow.

Here’s hoping that it will be in perfect condition when I wake up tomorrow.
