James River Blues
I know I've been looking forward to Fall, but I really really really really really don't want the days to get shorter! Summer, don't goooooooooooooooooo!
Labor Day Weekend was a lot of work! (heh heh heh).
Went to DC/MD to see fam and friends, and show off the new boyfriend. It was awwwwwwwwwwweeesssome.
Came back and spent Monday with BT (boytoy) and then had an impromptu dinner with his family (first time meeting all of them).
All in all it was a great weekend. Unfortunately, though, my training suffered (so did my waistline).
Today I was still exhausted, so I didn't work out -- it was also gloomy and icky out, which didn't help.
I HAVE to get my butt back in gear. Tomorrow morning I AM getting up early and doing the brick I put off.
Then I WILL go to rugby.
Then I WILL celebrate Liz's birthday, with cuppycakes in tow.
I WILL go to bed at a reasonable hour.
Hmm...what else...
A neighbor stopped by today to tell me to get my car inspected before I get a ticket. He used to be a Chesterfield cop, so he knows the ticket is hefty if you get pulled over for it. It was superduper nice of him -- he's my first neighbor to stop by and say hi to me, and he gave me his number and told me to call him if I have any other questions or need any help -- also recommended that I take my car to a shop across the street that his friend works at. I really appreciate it. It's so simple and played out but its so fucking true -- a little kindness goes a loooooong way. He also came over when my house was a PIG STY, so he motivated me to clean up. The downstairs is officially respectable again -- Thank you doubly, Neighbor Jules (and yes, he's black, and yes, I immediately thought of SATC and Jules and Mimi and chuckled to myself)!
Tomorrow will be another marathon day, so i need to go to bed. The plan: up at 5 to brick it for 1:45..that will put me at about 7 am. Lunch time I go up to RVA to get money to give to BT at work so he can go look at/purchase a moped for me (!!!!!!!). Back to worky, home at 4 pm to bake & decorate cuppy cakes. Rugby at 6:30 pm...just conditioning. Post Rugby is team bonding...I'm hoping to leave around 8:30ish and then hop over to BTs house to shower and go to Empire for Liz's birthday bash. Ack. I like being busy, but DANG. I wonder if i can bake cupcakes from 7 am - 8 am...that's enough time, right? Eh, if I'm late for work, whatever.
I'm falling pretty hard for the BoyToy. Spending the weekend with him was great, and his family is amazing. I think I just might love the little booger, go figure. =)
