Ah….isn’t this the way life is?
You want you want you want…but when do you really get what you want?
Either way, I know I will always want, I think it is human nature.
Here are the things I want this week:
This Team Sparkle Skirt:
Along with these Team Sparkle Race Legs:
OR perhaps, these Team Sparkle race legs:
I basically plan on dressing up in this skirt and some race legs for my marathon in April. If I have to be slow at least I can look fun while I do it!
Speaking of the marathon…I am making Jeff and the kids go…at least near the end so they can see me on the race course and I am going to make signs with them to hold. I need some really good sign ideas for kids…aaaaaaaand GO:
I am going to get Jeff this shirt to wear:
I love klassy t shirts.
I really want my long run this weeekend to end up better than my long run last weekend. My knee swelled up and was beyond painful to straighten. I skipped both of my short runs this week in order to rest it because I know my long runs are the most important part of the training (to me). I will attempt 6 miles tomorrow as planned and then 12 miles on Sunday as planned. My knee is my #1 issue and the #1 thing I have to baby when I run. I really want to accomplish this goal to run a marathon. I just want to finish. I know I’ll never be fast and I’ll probably want to punch everyone at the finish line in the face, but I really want this. Badly. So, my knee better cooperate more this weekend…
I am revisiting the notion of buying myself a new laptop. I mentioned before that my current HP laptop is 9 years old now, it was one of the first computers with wireless internet. I am on the laptop hunt. I want speed, storage and I want it to be pretty. I am thinking of a Dell. Thoughts?
I am also totally unsure of what I want or need.
What are your plans for the weekend??
Give me laptop help…please!

GET AN APPLE! And because you work at a university, you get the education rate. Switching from PC to Mac was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. Also, it will defo help you with school. Macs are so reliable, easy to tote around, fast and have LONG battery life. OBSESSED.
Also, keeping your knee healthy is prob more important than running a marathon. Knee replacement or 26.2 miles? Its good that you keep talking to your doc about it. My friend’s husband once roller bladed a marathon. Maybe if your knee doesn’t hold up, you could do it that way!
I have never heard of roller blading a marathon, how clever!
Don’t get a DELL!! From my my Hubz says Dell has gone down the crapper. I know like 10 years ago Dells were all the rage. No more.
I would check Consumer Reports or even ratings on Best Buy or something.
I have a Mac. It depends on your needs though if you want or need one. They are great for desktop publishing.
I’ll take your word on the Dell, Jeff used to have one and it was crap, I thought it may have just been his…I’ll keep searching. Thanks!
Seconding all of this! I gave up on Dell about 3 years ago because they aren’t made to last. I also love my Mac, but not everyone wants to switch OS. I’d definitely check Consumer Reports and see what they suggest. That’s how I’m picking most of our big baby items.
Ugh…Mac’s scare me a lot.
Too funny – I want to get that shirt for my husband when I run a full!
We’d have to hide it from our parents though 
I’m getting the ‘traveling’ Team Sparkle skirt for my 25K in May – and am SO excited! I may be a running skirts convert…
‘Traveling’, what is that and why can’t I find it!

OOOOoooohhhhhhh! I didn’t see that part!
But then you ship the skirt on to someone else?
Interesting…I would want to keep it!
I love my acer laptop. I also used to have a dell and hated it…acers are on the cheaper side but work perfectly for me
good luck on your runs. I hope your knee behaves!!
Thanks! My knee was mostly better during my run yesterday!
I can’t help you with the laptop, but I can say, “Get a Team Sparkle Skirt!” I have 2 and love ‘em. I think most will agree that they have “special powers”. Many a PRs have been set with them…not just me. Others too!
I already have one team sparkle skirt, I went with pink, love it!! I just want to get ANOTHER one!!!
I am going to Team Sparkle right now. I love your Friday wants! And I love the classy shirt!!
I love my current team sparkle skirt! It is so comfy!
I LOVE that t shirt. I think I need one for me and the boyfriend!! I’m soo pining for a team sparkle skirt! I can’t really justify it because I found a great skirt on target on clearance for $3 after halloween and it fits great and doesn’t bother me at all while I run. But, the team sparkle ones are soo adorable.
The team sparkle skirts are TOTALLY worth it. In every way. I have a pink one and wore it during a race and go SO MANY compliments/comments about it! Your target skirt is nothing like a team sparkle so I think you HAVE TO get one….hehe.
