\"finish<\/a>There’s an item that’s been on my wish list for a long time. I needed a pick-me-up a couple of weeks ago, so I ordered it. It arrived last week.<\/p>\n

Behold! The finish line doormat!<\/a> When I put it on my wish list, I thought it would be great after a run. Now I think it’s just great because it is a reminder that yes, I am done with the many many tasks of the day and I am home. I have made it through another day. I win!<\/p>\n

Sorry, kid. At least the cat enjoyed it.
