I need to get my ass to the gym this weekend. Or out for a run. Or something. I haven't worked out all week. :/ DD is going through some sort of sleep strike and I just can't drag myself out the door when I'm trying to function on 5 hours of interrupted sleep.

Monday we're going to our first Braves game of the season, and DD's first game too. I have no expectation that we'll last more than a couple of innings but I can't wait to have a hot dog and a beer!

I meant to respond to your post on mmm about the baseball game. We take A to twins games without issue, we put him in the moby or tula and he sleeps through the entire thing. I hope you have a similar experience!

H works most of the weekend and he is on call 24/7 until September so I am mostly on my own. Today I'm shopping. Tomorrow, I'm meeting my group for a long run and then since it's opening weekend for the pool, I'll probably hang out there for the day. If H doesn't get called in, we'll get lobsters and cook out, but otherwise I'll clean the house. Sunday will be another pool day and and finishing whatever cleaning I didn't get to do. Monday I have a 5k and then probably still more pool time, haha!

This summer is going to be rough with H working all the time. I'm trying to get used to being alone and learning to make the best of it!

I signed us up for a 5k tomorrow. I haven't done one in such a long time so this should be interesting... I picked up the race packets yesterday and the shirts are camo. I like what it stands for and all, but oh my, these shirts are hideous.

Besides that we're laying low this weekend. I also had to take our two dogs to the vet yesterday, and let's just say I've spent more on their healthcare costs this year than me and H combined.  Sooo laying low and spending no money is the goal!

Here's another random for you:

A group of coworkers got together to set up a "hot dog bar" in the break room for lunch today. (I've never been so happy to have packed a salad that I can eat at my desk). I just heard ask if there was more mayonnaise for the hot dogs   

[mccallister84]

We are headed to the Poconos tomorrow. I am so excited!

Ggaaggggg!!! My hot dog quota is only one per year usually - if it's grilled and kinda burned. Then after 3 bites I'm done.

I'm guessing these hot dogs at your office have been nuked in the microwave or, even worse, boiled in a crock pot. Yuck!

Crockpot full in case you want a warm hot dog later....

Lol! You would all probably run screaming if you knew how I liked my hot dogs. And how often I would eat them.

[emuni04]

My parents are visiting! Hooray!

Other than that, hoping to get a few runs in, enjoy some time outdoors, and probably POAS at some point (even though it would be super early to do so....but I'm obsessive and crazy like that).

[jene]

FIL has decided that he is coming up this weekend to meet A instead of next weekend. We are going to the twins game on Monday. The weather is supposed to be nice, so I hope to get some walks in.

[mrsjthompson]

We're going to DH's niece's HS graduation tonight 2 hours from here. Except there was a horrendous tractor trailer wreck on the major northbound interstate bridge yesterday and traffic is still being re-routed, meaning we'll probably be sitting in traffic most of the afternoon. At least I get to leave work early. Tomorrow get to clean house/grocery shop so we can have my sister's 30th birthday get together Sunday. Poor girl is hating turning 30, so I'm rubbing it in every chance I get like a good big sister. She's been counting down the years until my Lordy Lordy look who's 40 birthday party since the day I turned 18, so turnabout is fair play!

[mrs.jacinthe]

I'm teaching a lifeguard training class all. freaking. weekend. Tonight - 5 to 9. Tomorrow, I have to swim 3k and then teach lessons for two hours and THEN teach LG training, so I'll be at the pool from 8am to 9pm. Sunday, I'll be there 12pm-9pm. Monday, I have a special "try it out" masters class at 10:15, then I *finally* get to rest.

Haha, I'm not above eating most foods, including hot dogs. This set-up is most unappealing though. And what sicko puts mayo on anything? (One of the maybe 5 foods I can't handle).

I was looking for an appropriate gif to describe just how un-American all of the hot dog hate is, but then I came across this and almost had a heart attack for you.

It's OK, (well maybe not OK, but it's not mayo). Turns out this is Mexican in origin, and that is queso. 

[runblondie26]

Ok, so I *had* to go in there and take a picture for y'all. I give a nod to the effort that went into printing out and posting the possible hot dog combinations.

Edit: It should be noted, I would eat a hot dog that looked like any of those posted on the wall.


How could one resist this?

Awww, this is kind of awesome. Awesome, yet terrible. I love how fun someone thought this was and how passionate they (clearly) are about hot dogs. LOL I bet a lot of people loved it.

[CallingAllAngels]

I'm with y'all on the hot dog hate, but I would totally eat a hot dog bun filled with guac and queso. Mmmmm.

We're going out for dinner tonight. Tomorrow, I'm going for a bike ride in the morning Mid-afternoon we'll head to my mom's house and stay there until Monday. To make this H&F related I'm really excited to do my long run on the (paved) trail in her city. My brother and SIL will also be in town. They have kids my kids' ages, so it's a fun time.

We fired our cleaning lady and decided not to hire anyone new until after the summer since I get off work at 11:30 on summer Fridays. Dumbest idea ever.

I have no idea when tri bike transport is bringing my bike back, and at the moment I don't really care. I haven't exercised at all since IMTX. I might drag my ass to the pool this weekend. We'll see.

I went to masters this morning, but all I really did was chat with my friends who raced it too, lol.

I did yard work...that counts, right?

[kams]

And lol at this hotdog chatter! H is so fired up to grill up his bacon wrapped hot dogs this weekend.

I have a 40 question Econ test standing between me at the holiday weekend. As soon as I take the test then we're getting together with friends tonight, 5K in the morning (goal is 24:00), pancake celebration after the race, and game day food on Sunday for Indy 500. I'm pumped!

Yay Econ!!
<--- Econ PhD

And gl on the 5k!!

I've got 2 BBQs with good friends, an appointment with my stylist and some pool time with the kids. I'm resting my groin more after a little easing-back-in run today and I've got an ART session schedule Tuesday AM. God it feels good to be out there again !

[Wines Not Whines]

I'm on vacation in FL, which is great in many ways, but it's 95 degrees which is waaaay too hot for me. I can't handle being outside for more than 5 minutes. I've also eaten more ice cream in the past 3 days than I had in the past 3 months. I think I'm going to gain 5 lbs by the end if the weekend.

[gncorman]

Low key evening tonight with DH and three dogs! Leaving soon for a walk. I just went and got 4 growlers of beer filled for the weekend!
Tomorrow I am hitting up a local farmers market, do some errands, clean, and go for a short run. We are having friends over tomorrow night for grilling, drinking and planning our vacation next month.
Sunday is the start of the Transylvania Mountain Bike race. DH and I are working at the event on behalf of the LBS he manages. We are feeding spectators, riders, etc. who comes out for the first day of the race.
Monday hopefully will be a road ride or run with day drinking and grilling to finish up the day.

I like jalapeño hotdogs.  I try not to think about it while I eat them.

OMG I want one of those. Like right now. All I've been thinking about since this started are the ones at this local place that have cream cheese and green olives on them.

It's totally okay if you're giving me the shocked icky face right now, my wife does too so I'm used to it.

This weekend is the "training camp" weekend on my HIM plan.  3 days of omg:

Sat:  3:00 bike + 1:00 run
Sun:  :45 swim + 2:30 bike + :30 run
Mon:  1:00 bike + 2:00 (or 13 mile) run (whichever comes first)

It will be almost 11 hours of training in the space of 3 days.  I'm a little nervous.

[taratru]

Doing as little as possible. However that includes graduation (oh yay) and the Bolder Boulder on Monday.
