Beating Your (Skinny) Arch-Nemisis

 Is such an awesome feeling!!!

  Please allow me to digress a little bit. My son goes to a very strict christian day care / pre-k. The head administrator of said day care is a runner. She and I have had some issues since he has been there. One of which, last Easter I tried to bring in an " Easter Bunny" cake for his class. Now there was nothing with bringing in the cake, parents bring in treats and such for birthdays and other celebrations. However, she stopped me in the hall and told me that because it was an "Easter Bunny" cake I could not have it there, as they teach Easter is about Jesus dieing on the cross. I for one = believe the kids there are smart enough to understand the true meaning, and celebrate with eggs and bunnies. Anyway, we had words in the hall way, and I finally marched out of the school, cake in hand. ( I wanted to ask her, " What if I yanked his 'efin' ears off and made him a cat, could they have it then?" But I did not want to go home and explain to my wife how it was my fault that our darling son was kicked out of Pre-K because I couldn't control my mouth...) BTW, did I mention that she is a runner?

Yes, and she has finished several 5 K's just ahead of me. But this past weekend I entered a 5 K. I actually had signed up for the 10K but just wasn't 'feeling it' that day so I changed to the 5. Just after the first mile, she passed me, but this time, I kept her just ahead. during the last 1/4 mile there was a pretty steep down hill run, so I used my "greater mass" ( I prolly out way her by 2.5 times) to blow by her, going down the hill she had no chance!!! A co-worker of mine, who also knows this person was at the finish line giving congrats, as I passed her, I did a loud whisper, or silent scream, " I BEAT CHERYL!!!" The co-worker busted out laughing.

Yes I know it's very very petty, and you all are prolly way above this, but damn, it feels good to beat your nemesis, especially when she's a skinny lil b witch!!!
