When your in Dog house


"It is Better to Ask Forgiveness than Permission."
This is my HUBBIES favorite quote......Now it might be mine..
 
"Anita, you are never going to change." I knew I was in trouble.
I KNEW a FEW things.
 
Tuesday, at work, Andy called me.
"Hey, I am running to the bank...." He continued to share his plans of the day with me.
I got a bright idea. "Hey, since you are going to the bank, will you stop by my work and get my deposit too?" I knew I may have opened a can of worms, I don't make deposits usually.
Andy confused replied, "What do you have to deposit?"  
CRAP, CRAP, Double CRAP, I knew he didn't remember. Of course, we had only talked about it once and it didn't go over well. This was a lot more then hiding a new pair of running shorts in the back of the closet and getting busted.
With my heart pulsing, I tried to flirt my way through my explanation. "You remember, I am registering for the Goofy Challenge.." I had my cutest voice I could come up with. I think I was even battering my eyes, not like he could see me of course. My hands were sweating...
SILENCE.
I threw up in my mouth. I could tell I was in BIG trouble. I ran to the backroom to try all my verbal moves to get away with new running adventure.
 
Andy came to the salon (still angry) to pick up the 375$ I had saved for this race in Disney.

 
"It is Better to Ask Forgiveness than Permission."
We didn't talk to much about it. I am no dummy. The fire needed to fizzle out. Later that night he said "Nita, we need to talk, You are so stubborn, you are never going to change, You know, maybe I will just right you a letter."
 
My thinking: I am actually running this with my sister in law, Leeanne. Leeanne and my brother live in Florida. I am going down by myself for the weekend to run and visit them.
I am so excited. This is something that was on my bucket list. I honestly wanted to do the Dopey Challenge but it was almost two hundred dollars more. That would have been the straw that broke the camels back! I would be sleeping in the barn.

    Half Marathon time: 1:57:49

    1. You'll have a blast! I'm so jealous, but no way I can justify paying for that weekend twice. Since it's split, it's no worse than a full :D

      1. I stayed at the All-Star Sports resort on-site. The All-Star resorts are the cheapest ones, and by staying on-site, Disney provided free transportation to and from the airport, and the expo and races.

      2. PS: In 2014, it was maybe $135 a night, and there was a big cafeteria with surprisingly good food choices for reasonable prices. Also 2 pools. The only time I left the hotel area was for the races :)
