Friday night shenanigans

[taratru]

What's everyone up to?  I'm doing my long run on Sunday (boo!), so I'm taking advantage of the night off and drinking heavily.  I also ate  a 10-piece nugget meal from McDonald's from dinner.  Ew.  But soooo good.  

My aunt died yesterday, so I changed my already existing flight to Chicago Monday to go into Minneapolis.  I'll go to the viewing that starts at 5pm, then drive to Chicago after.  My training starts at 8am on Tuesday.  Super.  I wanted to spend Thursday exploring Chicago, but I think instead I'll be sleeping.  

My massage today was SO PAINFUL.  But my legs are starting to feel better.  I can't believe how tight my calves and hamstrings were, too.  Hopefully my long run doesn't lock my IT up again.  We have next Friday off from school, so I think I'll get another massage.  

That's it...I'm feeling sad, which means I need to ramble.

I'm sorry about your aunt. I'm drinking a beer (home brew) and watching a dr. Phil rerun.

I'm jealous of everyone racing and running this weekend. This is such a great time of year to run! I'm sad to miss it.

My sister just got into town. We're going to a winery tomorrow, should be nice.

I'm sorry, T. Sending you hugs.

I'm lying in bed chilling in our hotel room. We drove the bike course today, and at about mile 40, there's a coffin on the side of the road.

taratru, I'm sorry about your aunt.
We are watching stand up, and had merlot and buttery popcorn for dinner.
I need to wake up at 430 tomorrow to road marshal at a local 50 miler, then do a 5 mile trail race after sunset, with glow sticks and post-race beers. The prizes are by raffle only, so I stand a chance!

I just had some really spicy enchilada soup. Good, but spicy! I might have to wash it down with ice cream:D

Watching amazing race and then early to bed for my run tomorrow...

[itsme]

We landed a few hours ago and are headed to eat then home. I'm tired and ready to be home. I may post a race report later.

I received really bad news about my cousin the first day of my vacation and found out how bad the situation is yesterday. I have to figure out when I can make it to see her. I feel horrible for my aunt and my cousin's kids.

I'm sorry taratru.

Today's my anniversary. DH and I splurged on an amazing dinner at a local craft brewery. Now we're just vegging on the couch watching the hockey game. Kidless. A perfect night.

Sorry about your aunt taratru.

I'm sitting at home icing my fat ankle, swelling has gone down a good amount, now bruising has come in. But I can walk without issue, going to bike a little tomorrow.


My H bought some keebler fudge graham cookies I'm going to eat the shit out of shortly!

[kams]

I'm so sorry T. I know it's been a tough stretch lately. Thinking of you.

I'm on day 9 of B being gone, and at this point the earliest he will get home is Sunday pm. I really miss him and I'm going a little bit crazy.

I did take this pic of dd2 tonight that has me in fits of laughter. Sorry for the fb/ig repeat.

Also, I think I'm going to have a cocktail once the girls are fast asleep. I'm wound up after the week I've had.

Happy anniversary libbygirl!

Not much going on here. I picked up my new Chevy Traverse today. I signed the paperwork yesterday and saw the actual car for the first time because it came from another dealership in a trade. The guy who showed it to me asked how many kids I had. I'm still in shock that I look old enough to have multiple children lol.

Probably going to bed soon I have 8 miles in the morning. Everyone around me is getting sick so I'm laying low most of the weekend.

Why aren't we watching the VT football game, you ask? Because we are apparently bad luck. And the Hokies are up without our viewership, lol.

I'm actually watching this game (at my dad's in MA). We decided to watch it since I should learn about local state college football. VT is looking pretty good though.

I'm sorry about your aunt taratru.

BIL and his family are here this weekend and they are awesome. I love having great family visit!

I am so sorry for your loss, taratru.

My work did a parents' night out tonight where you could drop two kids off for 3 hours for $20. Yes please! So H and I went to a new brewery down the road for dinner.

Now I'm laying in bed with DD, hoping that I don't wake her up when I go to get in my own bed. I just read the washcloth thread on CEP and want to scrub my entire body.

kams, that picture is killing me! Lololol

My H just yelled at me that I was eating too many servings of his cookies. I called him a sucker and grabbed another fistful

[mrshandy]

What happened ?!? cole

Hugs taratru.

I am watching the NL playoffs on TV and trying to figure out when I am going to pickup my number tomorrow. I'll probably go to bed when soon cause Mr. GT is getting up early to go to the Penn State game.

Im so sorry about your aunt taratru

I'm so sorry about your aunt, taratru.

We are in Taipei for the long weekend, but H has a man cold and won't stop whining. The weather is lovely though-it's in the mid-70s and the kids think it's freezing. Haha. Heading out to see pandas soon.

Sprained my ankle playing soccer Tuesday night, boo! Last week I was talking to a teammate about switching to turfs because my cleats seem to catch too much and I almost never play on grass anymore, and of course this happens the next week. Caught a cleat on the turf and came down with my weight as my foot rolled in. Luckily just a sprain and nothing compared to what you have been going through!

As soon as DS is down im pouring myself a large glass of wine and baking some pumpkin cupcakes

I just made some of these for work the other day. First time that they were all eaten at work, and now I'm craving one like crazy.

I'm sorry about your aunt taratru!

I had dinner at my favorite vegetarian restaurant. It included a piece of chocolate cake. I haven't had dessert in two weeks other than about 4 bites of chocolate ice cream last weekend.

I'm sorry, taratru.

It's Saturday now, but I spent last night solo parenting and eating way too much pizza and too many cookies. And wine.
