About Me
- Carrie Guerra
- One of my favorite lines in Alice In Wonderland is "and WHO are You?" That is a great question to which I would have to answer -I am a mother, a wife, a sister and auntie, an accountant, runner, friend, cook, consumer, reader, photographer, and daughter. I live in the life of a farming family, I love to travel.... too many things to try to pick just one and I would never want to try, these are the things in life that make me tick. I am who I am, you get what you get, and I love my life. In other words... "It is what it is".

Remind me to look at the back of my hair....
Can women not see the back of their hair - when the grey grows out? I am sorry but I should tell you all right now, if this is ever me - please tell me! I sat behind a woman at the movies the other day and I was just amazed that her daughter (I imagined) was sitting there enjoying the day with her mom (I imagined) and the poor woman just had awful hair. It makes me wonder, it is easier to just ignore some situations when we get older than get in to a conversation about something that really doesn't mean anything - except to those of us that wish not to be in that situation some day. Note to self, continue good personal hygiene.

Carlsbad 5000 & Christine
No April Fools - just 10,000 of them :)
I ventured south this weekend to Carlsbad for a weekend visit with Christine and to run in a 5K run deemed one of the fastest runs in California. I loved the way they ran the events, it was easy to watch near the end, they had amazing runners, and lots of them - I am always happy to run early in the morning, it's the time that I practice so it seems more like a routine than something special and I seem to be getting better about getting nervous. I still pray that I have fun, don't fall down and am not last, as I do each race - you may laugh, but people fall all the time and I sometimes envision the domino effect - THAT would be awful.
I had a personal best of 28.22 which is 10 minutes better than the last 5K I ran at Disneyland a couple years ago. I am happy with my time, I am still competitive and wish I could run with the Kenyans in 18 minutes, but then I wish I were rich instead of beautiful too :)
Christine and I had a great time, stayed in a hotel right on the beach and listened to the waves, talked until all hours and as usual I found myself falling in love with my daughter all over again. It's been almost 29 years now that she's been around and I can not believe the love I have for her, we had a great time.
We walked the little town of Carlsbad and shopped, ate and had some wine - laughed and laughed and it really couldn't have been much better. It's the small things that mean so much - thanks for a great weekend Christine Ashley - I love you.
