I'm Kind of Embarrassed

Okay, when am I not kind of embarrassed?  I usually do or say something to embarrass myself on a regular basis.  Like wearing my Zensah compression tights backwards AGAIN today!  Yep, not once but twice folks.  Noticed the bulging pocket on my crotch about half way through the mommy and me gymnastics class with my son.  This was AFTER I'd already climbed the rope and done a few balance beam tricks.  Good grief.  But they feel good and that is what matters.  Makes my sore legs (not sure why they are sore) feel good.  


About the questions I answered this morning on my post, I am not done yet so if you don't see yours answered then I will get to it!  I promise.  


Kate, you asked:
If Oprah Winfrey, Ann Coulter and Kara Goucher were all running for president and you had to vote for one, who would you want the first female president to be?
First of all, I think a woman would make an excellent president and I hope it happens soon!  Oprah is amazing but I think she might be a little too emotional but that could be good too.  She is full of compassion and love.  And justice.  No way on Kara Goucher...she can run though.  I'd have to read more about Ann Coulter.  Can't wait to see it happen.  For the record, I love Oprah!  She has done so much and made such an incredible impact in the world.  LOVE her! Don't watch her show (don't have time) but have watched it in the past and seen her in action.  


You also asked:
You're so wonderful but there are always crazy people out there that love to hate on happy people. Have you ever received hate mail or a mean e-mail or comment in response to one of your blogs? 
Knock on wood....I've never received mean mail or comments.  Lots of good ones though.  E-mails that make me feel loved and cared for.  E-mails that make me realize I've impacted someone in a positive way and that me feel really great!  However, when I wrote my post about Obesity in America and how it is killing us, I knew I was writing about a sensitive subject.  I did get an e-mail from a reader that expressed (in a loving way) her feelings about the misconceptions of overweight people in America and how it is really not that easy for some.  This I know.  And I did address her e-mail in a post called Dear Blog Reader.


So, the real reason I'm embarrassed is that I made a Runninghood sticker.  Megan from Build a Sign (I'll be writing more about her and her company soon) did it for me. And she's great! I really wish I would have taken more time on it and put Motherhood, Running, Life on it somewhere.  Not sure why I'm embarrassed. Probably because I don't really see a point in making it...it was for fun really.  And I wanted to do something with my mom's art.  In fact I will probably go and remove it from my car in just a minute now that I've taken the picture.  1. I have never put a bumper sticker on my car and 2. I really don't care to have all my neighbors knowing about my blog...that seems weird. I purposely didn't put the web address because I figure if people are really interested then they will google Runninghood. And not that anyone would really put this on their car but some of you might put it in your running journal??? A book?  A Trapper Keeper??  Or on your toilet or garage wall? Your car? Or????  

Yes, those are scratches on my car.  

So, who wants one just for fun??  I have 50 of them. And where would you put it??
