Problem: The final results of the corporate cup run were posted online today . Chris finished in 58 minutes , 32 seconds and I finished in 47 minutes . ( Our previous times from 1999 were 1:01 for Chris and 55 for me ) .

Why was Chris happy with the final result ?

A: Chris had gone faster than last year .

Problem: Much much . One of my co - workers got a free soft drink along with her kid 's meal today ( well , I guess it was n't free , since it was figured into the cost of the meal ) , and she did n't want it so she gave it to me . YeSssS ! Scored a free Dr. Pepper today and I ' m feelin ' good about it . Also , one of my bosses called me into his office and tried to talk about my plans for the future ... a la " career talk . "

What does it say about me that it made me this excited to get a free soft drink ?

A: I love Dr Pepper , they 're my favorite drink !

Problem: Plus it 's much better than continuing to reach for the diapers on the top shelf at the grocery store . I also met a mom at my breastfeeding support group who also uses cloth and gave me some extra covers that her daughter had outgrown . We met a few other couples that night too . It 's sad that I know the hostess 's name and all the children 's names and ages , but most of the other adults are just " so and so 's mom " .

What will happen after the mom gets settled into the room ?

A:
She will talk with other moms .
