So, I ran my third 5k. In 28:30. I checked out this pace card I received in my "goodie bag" and it turns out that I ran something like 9:10/mile. That was better than the estimate Jenna and I came up with! (Thank you for the comment on my myspace, Jenna! :D ( Read more... )

"I don't use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough." - Mauritis Cornelius Escher, 1898 - 1972

My brain has a knack for taking a horrifying idea and running with said idea.  Last night was not pleasant.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day! :D  I will be wearing my Guinness sweatshirt, a green shirt, with my green vest, and a green bandana.  I AM part ( Read more... )

PRODUCTIVITY!

Worked like a dog today.  We set the front room -- which changes according to season, we are now summer/yard central -- in three hours this morning.

I got some RTVs done.

I cleaned up what I could of my back room.  I was lucky I got lunch.  Tomorrow is going to be Nikki-gonna-be-cleaning-house day.  I LOVE that day because that means I ( Read more... )

I managed to take Friday off of work.

Guess who is sneaking up to Albany TOMORROW night? :-D

I was so excited when my boss said yes that I almost went skipping off to the back room.  I was thisclose to calling or texting or somehow getting in touch with Jeremy to tell ( Read more... )

This is just lovely.  I am thankful I do not work at a clothing retailer.

While I am here, here is today's tidbit:

"United we stand, divided we fall."  - Aesop

Bet ya didn't know who coined that one, did ya?

If you did, I am impressed and just feel silly.

Oh, my yoga DVD's came today! :-D Going to learn me some yoga this afternoon.  Then pack ( Read more... )

"I lied. The house is alive. We're all gonna die." - The House on Haunted Hill

I think this is the first movie quote in the series.  It will not be the last, I am sure.

So, tonight we are supposed to get snow, ice, and rain.  It is supposed to be gone from here by noon, but Albany is supposed to see worse weather for longer.  I am still planning ( Read more... )

I graduated this weekend.  I worked very hard for 4.5 years to get to this point, and I made it.  My sanity is in tact (for the most part, I think), I did not kill anyone along the way, and all that is left is waiting for the mailman to deliver me that thick piece of paper that says "Master's of Arts" and my name on it.

Now all I want is a job that ( Read more... )

Ah, vacation.
