short sales suck ...

so ... we put a bid ... on a kick ass home last week ... and we are still waiting for the bank to accept the offer ... it blows our minds that they don't have any sense of urgency to make a decision ...

here are some pics ...






















so ... for now ... we are willing to wait ... as you can tell ... this house is ROCKING ... it's a large home (3000+ sq. feet) ... nice and open downstairs ... with a deck off the master bedroom ... pool with fiber optic lights ... outdoor bbq/kitchen with granite counters ... hot tub.

the waiting is torture!!! we want to be in the pool now!!!

skateboarding barefoot is stupid

skateboarding barefoot is stupid, originally uploaded by brrtha.

So ... last month I decided that I'm going to run with some fellow Yahoo!'s ... in the San Francisco Marathon. Fortunately ... they give the option of running a 1/2 marathon ... which is much more to my liking.

I started in training May ... and felt pretty good about my progress ... until last week ... when I totally bailed on my skateboard ... and tore up the tip of my big toe.

Not a pretty site.

So ... it's been nearly two weeks now ... and my toe is still pretty cruddy looking. I'm afraid to hammer it with a long run ... so ... i've totally been slacking on my training.

I ran four miles yesterday ... but ... at this point ... I should be up to six miles. Of course ... my poor toe was bloody and macerated afterwards. So ... what's a girl to do??? Should I sacrifice my big toe just for training??? I don't think so ...
