Well it's now morning. I've been awake since 3. The little guy does all this weird grunting in his sleep that keeps me awake. Of course my husband is passed out cold. What did I do last night? I ate cookies and went to bed early (we are talking 7:30!). The only Christmas present I've bought is for my niece.
We went out to eat and to a bookstore last night, then I painted my nails with the fun nail polish from the H&F traveling box. Today I'm going to try to get a run in before it rains/snows, then make a bunch of vocab flashcards.
chw57 I'm so, so sorry. Wishing you guys all the best during this transition.
coconutbug - remember that cold i was trying to fight off before Tucson? It pushed its stubborn way through! And the course is the academy and my legs are still a little wobbly! This may be the first nonPR of the year. Writing this all down makes me wonder if I should just bag it
kams - argh, stupid cold. At least it generally held off til after Tucson. There's no shame in just running it for fun and not for time, if you do it. Hope you feel better soon!
kams, I doubt you'll PW, but I'm sorry you're sick. It's tough going into a race knowing you won't PR. I had that thought about the Albany marathon in March. It will ruin my over 3 yr PR streak. Lol
coconutbug, yay!! I'm glad you liked the polish. I think it's such a fun pretty color. Now our toes match!
hannahb, my DH will be the same way when we have kids. I dealt with it even when we just had a dog. He sleeps through everything!

It's supposed to rain all weekend here, so good excuse for us to hole up inside and do Christmas stuff. I'll bake some cookies and DH is going to help DD build a gingerbread house. That has been their special project the past couple years.
Eliza had a stomach bug yesterday but thankfully Josh had already taken the day off of work so he was able to take care of her. Insurance is being a dick about paying for my morning sickness meds and it's been a rough two days around here. Rationing out pills makes me feel like a junkie.

I feel like a phony, have had a chest cold and sinus infection for two weeks now (with a stomach bug thrown in). I thought I could start running on Wed. and no dice. Have at least been walking the dogs at a fast pace but it's going to laughable how much fitness I lost once I finally can run. I am going to start slow and short. The only bright light is that I lost weight because of no runger and little sense of smell. My appetite was down (that's how you can tell I'm sick for sure.)
Went to a Christmas party last night and loved the company but hardly anyone else brought appetizers so I was starving and had to eat too much of the one I brought.
We have another Christmas party tonight and I am trying a new cocktail. Cake flavored vodka, white grape juice and Prosecco with a garnish of a mini champagne flavored cupcake. I think it's going to be a hit.
My son and I just watched Freaky Friday together (what a blast from the past.) My eight year old and I loved it and now I'm going to soak in the bath before I get ready for the party.
Happy Birthday runaways and congrats clseale. Sorry to hear about the layoff. That's terrible!
Spent this afternoon caulking our house, prepping for insulation.
Now baking a Cheesecake-Stuffed Dark Chocolate Cake for a cake fundraiser tomorrow. And figuring out another dessert to bake for a neighborhood party.
I feel a little lost without a training schedule...so I really need to ramp that up for 2014. We also really need our house finished so we can move back.
I'm late to this party, but ran a jingle bell 5k this morning complete with post-race bloodys....ever since I've been snuggled up with the couch and tv and now wine too and pretty soon pizza! Total crap weather out there now so I'm looking forward to bedtime ?
