Waiting around

Our condo association does a yearly check of all smoke alarms. This year I accidentally forgot about it. I thought it was today, Friday, but it was Tuesday. I wondered where I got Friday so I reread the announcement. On top of doing the smoke alarms they were also doing radon testing. They have to leave a little kit behind and they were picking them up on Friday. DOH! So I'm sitting around this morning waiting to see if they'll come anyways to check the fire alarms.

I'm a little po'd because the letter they sent said they would charge anyone $300 if they couldn't get into the unit. I really hope it's an empty threat. I guess I'll wait and see.

We had a couple come see the place yesterday. We were supposed to have another couple come but they never showed. I don't even have to clean my house today, I am so pumped!

It's snowing out so I can't run outside. I only ran 3.5 on Sunday. That stinks, hopefully as the weekend goes on, I'll be able to sneak in a few more miles. I have to prep for my race!

Doing the Dew

W back again. E and I were at Dunks the other day. We see only 3 cars in the drive thru and since we were all sweaty coming back from the gym, decided to spare our fellow people our pungent nature by ordering at the talking box.


We order our coffees pull up and then we wait.. and wait... and wait. A good 10 minutes goes by with the person 2 cars in front of us sitting at the window. Now I'm sitting there trying to figure out what you can possibly order at a Dunks that would take 10 minutes to prepare. I can't imagine what the poor guy in front of us was thinking. When he finally gets to the window all they hand him is a Mountain Dew... That's it, a bottle of Mountain Dew... which can be purchased at any of the 3 convenience stores that are with in 100 yards of the Dunkin Donuts. Poor guy gets to the Dunks drive up and just like that he's trapped. One car in front, us behind, and no where to go. He would have been in and out of the store in less than 2 minutes. Instead ten mintes of hell. Which is what he was probably thinking the whole time we were waiting. "2 minutes if I was just willing to get out of my car" Then again maybe he was all sweaty from the gym too.

So much for that quick drink. Well at least my ice coffee was good.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Aaah, the memories of eating green chicken and potatoes. All while wearing the corsage my Mom would make us wear ever year. Would I do such a thing to my own kids?? Heck ya!

There will be no green food this evening but there is a six pack of Smithwicks getting cool as I type. It's usually frozen pizza night but perhaps I can stir up an ole Irish meal instead. Oh, who am I kidding. This is E were talking about.

The weather is gorgeous out and I'm well on my way with training for my first road race of the year. This week I'm hoping to get in 16 miles total.

Any one have any good memories of St. Paddy's day?

They don't make 'em like that anymore..

W back again and I got a big scare this morning. The talking Tick action figure, that my friend T got for me way back when we were roommates in college, didn't work this morning. For the first time in over 12 years I pressed the button on his back, and none of his witty sayings came out. I open up his battery case and one of the batteries had leaked all over his insides. Luckily a little baking soda and some elbow grease cleaned him up and got him working again.

Can't believe that those batteries lasted 12 years. Can't believe the toy has lasted 12 years and E can't believe that she has to hear Tick quotes as often as she does. (or has to see it sitting on our computer desk) Oh well, boys and their toys.

So do you have any toys or mementos that you just can't let go?

Slackers!

We promise we'll start writing more.

With this lovely weather I've been able to run outside more often. I did 5 (very slow) miles on Saturday and 3 miles on Sunday. I have a 10k coming up in April I need to train for.

I had plans to run on both Monday and Tuesday but because they were plans and plans were meant to always change, I didn't. I worked instead. Yay! 10 hour days, woo-hoo! (insert sarcasm here).

I have a thought about running today after work but that is a mere thought so who knows if it will happen.

Eek! Two weeks!

We've been busy. Busy doing what, I don't remember but I assure you, busy is what we were. Still are. I've been pulling long hours at the office. I'm not pleased because it's getting nice out and I want to play.

Someone came to see our place today. I think they hold the record on how quickly they ran through. And when I say ran, I mean ran. The realtor was very rude. The guy who was looking probably wouldn't even look at the kitchen had I not mentioned it.

Game night was last night. We got home at 2:30 and woke up at 7. I need a nap.
