CARNIVALLL!
It was Quadmania this weekend at UMBC!
I am NOT a roller coaster or any kind of a ride person. Prior to last years event the only ride I had ever been on was the merry-go-around…..
With the convincing powers of a certain friend that is a boy I managed to ride the Ferris wheel and the Zipper. I am pretty sure I lost two years of my life.
I also rode something else for the very first time!
Another thing that I am also not is an animal person. Not sure why, but I am pretty terrified of them.
Sooooo I decided to ride one!
Note the VERY terrified face!
Many shenanigans later it was time to make Banana Bread!
Jpizzle and his epic bread pan making skills!
I was seriously impressed, I even managed to break his master piece. I decided I was better off with just standing around and looking pretty.
I however did get to enjoy some super yummie whole grain banana bread!
We rounded off our weekend with a walk to the campus tennis courts
And a mile run around campus with some butt kicking stairs!
Meet Baby G! My 21st b-day gift to myself. Now I know I am not a long distance runner but this baby may be the COOLEST thing ever! I have no concept of how far or fast I am going outdoors, so I use it to steadily increase my time and mileage!
Question: Do you ever buy birthday presents for yourself? If so, what are they?
YAY I am so happy that you like it!
I am so jealous!!!!!! I always wanted to ride a elephant!
I love your face when you’re on the elephant! Too funny! I would freak out too! In India, I had a random guy come up to me in the street with his elephant. He asked me if I wanted to ride it for 20 rupees haha! I said no, but I wish I had said yes!
Happy Birthday!! When is it?! I buy myself gifts all the time 🙂 I’m a brat!
I’ve never bought a bday present for myself, but I totally gifted myself the same Garmin for Christmas!
So jealous of Carnival AND your GARMIN. Super exciting.
That elephant looks so sad 😦
But that Garmin is just beatiful…I think I am going to cave tonight…hahaha
I’m not going to lie..carnivals freak me out, especially all the rides! Looks like you had fun, though!
I would love a Garmin..hope you enjoy using it. I’ve heard great things from other runners. It’s really a useful training tool.
