I am just sitting here on one of my couches watching a bit of TLC awaiting the race results from the race to be posted, when a very odd commercial comes on - and you are NOT going to believe this.
Follow me here - it is a Barbie doll called Tanner, in which she has a dog, she feeds it, and it poops. Yes, you heard me right - they are selling a Barbie doll called Tanner complete with a pooping dog. What. The. F---------- wow.
Why would you buy a kid a pooping dog and Barbie?
Would you call me obsessed because I am refreshing the results page every 5 minutes? No? Ok good - *wink* I just really want to see how I did. Note to self - bring the Garmin to the races now!
On an unrelated note, I saw on Discovery about a month ago a story of a woman who is in to Adventure Racing (AR)and it looked really cool. The particular AR she did was running, biking, orienteering, rope, obstacles. It look like so much fun!
Well - looking through the race calendar for the upcoming month, I saw that there is an organization in Grand Rapids, MI which is the GRAAR and hosts many ARs throughout the year. OMG - how excited am I? I really REALLY would like to do the one in October 2007. It is Canoeing, biking, orienteering, and possibly ropes. I think that this would be fabulous to attempt atleast once in my life - so I added it to my "Wish List" off on the right hand section here on my blog. This particular race is the Salomon/Mousejaw Adventure Race and is geared towards beginners and those in training for longer AR distances. Bonus... I now have a year to prepare. This year I will be going to Middleville, MI to watch it happen to determine what all I will have to do to prepare.
Anyone in MI that wants to check this out - let me know. (Stoney Creek on Saturday adn MIddleville, MI the 22nd) I am facinated!

i've ran a race early this year and the results still aren't up lol that's so aggravating! i hope yours are up soon.
(i think kids are strangely fascinated by poop, it might be a big seller haha)
I've seen that Barbie dog. I'm not sure playing should be that realistic. Of course, it might save some parents from having to get their kids a real puppy.
I never looked at it that way!
I noticed on the Buff Betty's website (an AR site for women only) that there was some missing information like results and pictures from earlier this year -
Neese - I hope you get results soon!!!
