This weekend flew by so quickly, I totally {almost} forgot to post. I'm trying to post at LEAST once a week, if not more often, but shooting for at least weekly.
There isn't too much visual progress on the house. Nothing worth taking a picture of at least. Supposedly the electrician was over and did his job. I just trust that he did.
It seems that everyone is back at work and school... or at least where they are supposed to be. Only means that there is no more slacking to be done. Crap.
The weather out here has been very rainy and windy and cold. I don't typically mind it at all... actually really like it... except when it's time to run a marathon. The OC (Orange County) Marathon was yesterday. I drove up to OC on Saturday, went to the expo, picked up my free sneakers (which I actually got for Tony, I'm a strict Asics girl), got some work on my latest project done up in the hotel room, went back down for the pasta dinner they arranged for the runners and went back to the room to watch a movie (over-priced on payperview) and went to bed. Woke up the next morning at 3:30 a.m. to have my coffee and breakfast and layed back down until 5 a.m. IF you want some TMI... the early coffee thing is to get "stuff" moving so I can unload BEFORE the race, thus avoiding the "football squat" in the gross porta potties later. Yes, TMI. Anyway... I was registered for the full marathon and let me just tell you now... I was not prepared to do the full. This year just was no conducive to training for a marathon. The 2 weddings, getting pregnant, becoming un-pregnant, and then getting bronchitis... those are my excuses and I think they are pretty good ones. Anyway... at mile 12 ish, I stopped the race and was taken to the end. DNF. That's right people... a big Did Not Finish. I'm OK with it too. I cannot waste any more energy worrying about that DNF. Really... who cares, right? There are plenty of races to be run. The weather was miserable and it's not like I was going to run a PR. I'm not typically a quitter... but this race just wasn't meant to be for me this year. I do want to try it again, next year or the next. It seems like a really good race overall...
The Chargers won their first play-off game... so Tony is happy about that and all is well in the world until next week.
