I should go shopping
WTF is it already 8:00 where did the whole day go? I do not care for how fast my Saturday is slipping through my fingers, my favorite day of the week and I really needed it this time and it's already evening now even though I can't tell because it's still light outside, weird.
I did a mile and a half race on Wednesday and broke my record time and won the race, the next guy behind me was like 45 seconds behind. I didn't even feel like running that day when I got up and I was just going to half ass it but when I got out to the track a few people said stuff to me like are you going to win, etc., and I decided to go for it. Then I walked around like a bad ass all day and I was super cocky. Later that night I had to go on another run for my training and I thought I'd be too tired from the race but it turned out to be another good one.
Then I made the mistake of going out for drinks on Thursday night. Normally I won't drink at all during the week but this week was such a killer and we were all feeling it and we figured we could have a few beers and then make it through Friday without too much of a hassle, wrong. Friday sucked so bad, and I owed three miles but didn't have the strength to get them in. I had people over to study Friday night and we didn't get done until nearly midnight, I was so tired. Yes that is correct, we studied on Friday night, by choice.
I slept in today, then skipped my coffee and went straight out for my long run. It went pretty good and I felt strong again, and I had a nice pasta lunch when I got back. Since then I've been lounging around enjoying the weekend by watching cooking shows and I even read some of my book that I've been ignoring lately.
Tomorrow would be a rest day but I need to make up the three miles from Friday so I think I'll go out to the beach at sunrise do my run and then hang out for a while after the sun comes up. Oh yeah and that reminds me of the lesson I learned, the reason I mentioned all that, I learned the lesson (again) that I can't drink anymore at all during marathon training, no fitty. So I guess as of now I am officially a non drinker until the race. Sucks because I have beers in the fridge.

Finally. Glad you did so well. You should kick butt in the real race. What did you win?
I am at the dinner having a good time. We are about to leave and party for real.

Is it a formal dinner? I bet you look so beautiful and I bet the food is good too. How are you going to party for real if I am not there?
Thanks for saying I should do well in the race, I hope so. I don't want to be boring and write too much about running, I will try not to do that.
Are you taking pictures, I want to see. No pictures of Roy though.

It was a formal dinner. Had a great time and lots to drink. I am finally home. Back to work tomorrow.
We have a black tie wedding to attend on Sunday. What is that? That means I have to go out and buy a formal dress. I do not have time for that. Why can't people just have regular weddings? Should I buy a prom dress for this? Ugh. Another thing to think about.
And work tomorrow....and the new place....and new furniture I have no money for....at least I will have a beautiful brand new never before used kitchen and bathroom. One good thing at least!
Going to bed now. Good night K.

It will be so nice to have a new place, how do people even live in used houses, that's gross!
Did you take lots of pictures last week? I'm going to go stalk your myspace now and find out.

welcome back

You are just too funny. No pictures from this weekend that I know of. I will find out tonight. Stop making fun - it's not used houses that bug me it is nasty dirty kitchens and bathrooms that I have a problem with!

I agree, I have the same problem. Then when you move in you have to go through the cabinets with gloves, pleeease don't find an old spoon or something and you have to bleach every surface in the bathroom and it burns out your sense of smell.
Are you having a great day at work? I just put in for a vacation next week, I'm not going to go anywhere, just relax and sit home and refocus, aahhhhh I need it bad baby.
BTW I totally won at the grocery store the other day, the cashier guy said, "what kind of orange is this?" calling everyone's attention to my healthy choice and they all felt bad because they had frozen things and I had fresh fruit in a bag and I said, "It's a grapefruit," and he was like, "ahhh, I always do that, it looks like an orange," and the bag guy said "it looks like a grapefruit to me." Then everyone knew I bought a grapefruit and they were duly impressed and then he got to my cheesecake and he said, "mmmm those are SO good," and I looked and everyone was jealous of me because I had the foresight to pick a delicious dessert as well. HA!

I went to see Les Mis last night (again). Drew was playing the lead. He is amazing. How was your week?

Glad you like.
My week was so crazy, we had so much work to do and the running schedule uses up all my free time, but I'm on leave now and I don't have to go back for another week! I am going to enjoy this.
More importantly, how was your week?

My week was good. Busy and hectic, I am on deadlines that I can barely meet!
I am also hungry and thristy and ready for the weekend. I want pizza for dinner. I want some odd spicy pizza, I think. Big formal wedding this weekend and I have nothing to wear. I can't even affords to buy something to wear. Now I am depressed.

I will make you a homemade pizza with ham and mushrooms, you know where to find me. For drinks I will be serving peach and strawberry smoothies. As for something to wear, that's why I invented credit cards. Go ahead and splurge, it feels good.
Posted on August 10, 2007 4:33 PM
You are too funny. No credit card charges, thank you. I am buying an apt, remember? That is why I am poor and cannot afford anything... I really do need a dress for Sunday. Maybe I will make one tonight.

Good luck draga, I am going out for my run now. It is very hot and I might melt.
Posted on August 10, 2007 5:27 PM
Enjoy yourself. I am still at work. I think I will order pizza when I get home.

I am back, I saw dolphins! I thought they were sharks for a minute and I got scared.
I think I'll make the Spanglish sandwich and soup for dinner.
Posted on August 10, 2007 7:22 PM
I am finally almost home. I have to clean when I get there and I am starving. It is cold in NY and I am freezing! Roy ate dinner so no pizza for me.
I love dolphins. I wish I could see them. I wish it was warm here.

Oh no lipota you have been hungry and thirsty since four o'clock I can't believe you still haven't eaten that is terrible. I refuse to allow you to clean before you get something to eat tonight, L will eat with you.
Posted on August 10, 2007 9:17 PM
I ate donuts this morning to make up for lack of nutrition yesterday. I am cleaning my house today. Finally. I haven't cleaned in weeks. L is off working on her pitching. Roy claims she is really good. She has pink baseballs and a pink bat. Her new bedroom will be pink too! We will go watch the icky Bratz movie tonight. Yuck. Those girlz are B-tches! And we are having a big High School Musical 2 sleepover on Friday. Busy week ahead!

That sounds delicious, but not very nutritious. I'm afraid nobody is taking care of you properly. I just ran eleven miles, now I must eat.
