Run, Lola, Run.

JT, my sister and I were gathered around the den eating homemade peach ice cream at my aunt's house tonight. My aunt, Michelle, found an article in a runner's magazine about a new half marathon in Disney World in October. The interesting part about this half marathon is that it begins at 10 p.m. and once you complete the run, you and your friends are invited to a special Disney after party with free beer and wine.

Kallie decides she wants to run this half marathon, so it's decided that we'll all do this next year as a celebration of her 21st birthday. We begin to make various plans and talk about the many "what ifs" involved in this adventure. We discuss training programs and other 5K or 10K events in the Birmingham area we could do to train for this. Then we start talking about our favorite rides in Disney World and where we would stay. Some of the things we are saying actually have the potential to come true, but most of it is complete nonsense. 

At some point, Kallie says "Whoa, we gotta stop. We're being too unrealistic here"

And JT responds, "No offense, but we asked Kristin to run a half marathon, so it was pretty unrealistic from the beginning."

Sweet, guys. Thanks a lot. -KMac

In case you thought i was being a baby

when I complained about Yates having it out for me, you'll now surely change your mind.

The proof is in the pudding, people.

Lemon out.

A rhyme

KMac: "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier."

Yates: "I got toes, but I'm not a toaster."

Nice. Happy bachelorette weekend, Sayo!

Not funny unless you're me.

I keep thinking about how funny this was. Last Friday the Law School put on an all-day Crawfish Boil at a 3L's house. One of the events was the infamous "Mullet Toss," where one holds a dead, limp fish in one hand and chucks it as far he or she is able. Due to the somewhat disgusting nature of this challenge, many abstained. Riley Key was one of these folks; I was not (big surprise).

Anyway, shortly after I accidentally hit a poor girl in the leg with my wildly thrown fish, the boys' competition started. There were good throws, bad throws, people gettin' hit, cars gettin' hit, etc. At which point Riley looked around and loudly stated:

"Am I going to have to throw a fish here?"

No, not that funny on its face. But it sort of is. Especially when you consider the atmosphere of the event, the glory of competition, and the weirdly determined look on the Keymaster's face.

Spoiler alert: he didn't throw the fish.

I never thought I'd see the day

"I'd barf and then run out with my hands flailing in the air." -Anna

Sometimes, little Anna Pendy uses her English degree to paint the most vivid images. How sweet. I can only hope I get to see this happen one day.

Sweet Dreams, KMac

Wish list

1. Animals like koala bears or hippopotamuses were appropriate pets

2. Instead of water fountains, there were Coca Cola fountains

3. The weather would always be 60 degrees so that I was never cold but always wearing long sleeves

4. Traffic didn't exist

5. We were all going to live in the same city forever so that we'd have an endless amount of joy, love and most importantly laughter to share on this blog.

Just trying to keep the spirit alive.

maybe i should just let this die

"is it so much to ask that i find someone to date

who doesn't totally annoy me?"
