This is happening!!!!

I need to go outside. It’s way too nice out for me not to go out running. In fact, I’m heading out after work (it may be a little dark, but I don’t care) to do my 4.5 miles. 

I love warm weather. So very much. Spring can come early, I’d be very happy with that.

Me, today. 

I actually quoted this card to my boss today after he kept needling me to “stop being mad.”

Um, no? You’re the one who yelled at me for something that isn’t my fault and then you want me to get over it instantly?

Have you EVER met a woman before? Not gonna happen.

Gah.

Rude.

Whatever dude. I’m gonna go run it out.

Weekend Update:

  • Life is a Marathon. Not a sprint. And this weekend was no exception. I worked nearly 5 hours at Corky Friday night…after a full day at the TV Station. So I worked from 8:45am to 11:15pm. Long Freakin’ day. Tips were good though!
  • I worked 2-11pm Saturday at Corky, and was on-call at the station. I ran 1 mile before work and was glad about it. I planned to run my long run (it’s a step-down week so it’s only a 10k this week) after I got off work at Corky on Sunday night.
  • I went to Church Sunday morning, hit the outlets with my bestie and then stopped by the grocery store for a few essentials before high-tailing it to Corky for another 4 hours last night.
  • I got home at 7 and could not face running 6.2 miles on the treadmill. I skipped my long run. I repeat. I skipped my long run. I just don’t know who I am anymore.
  • But it’s okay. I start my marathon training early so that I can have some cushion time. Also, I’m pretty well conditioned. I ran 8 miles last week. I think I’ll be okay. The Lincoln half is May 4th. 
  • I worked about 20 hours in 3 days at Corky. I’d like another weekend please. Thankyouverymuch.
  • A woman saw my Canada mittens from Brooke while I was shopping at the outlet mall this weekend. She asked if I had been to the Olympics and talked about some snowboarder. I told her my dear friend sent me the mittens and I liked them because they were from her and warm. No, I have not been to Sochi. And no, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Sorry!
  • The above photo is not from this weekend. It’s from New Year’s Eve. But it’s of me and my bff’s dog, Ella. I like the pic. So you get to see it. 

Happy Monday friends!

This is happening.

50’s this weekend, and then we’re looking at UPPER 50’s next Tuesday and Wednesday.

Oh, I’m sure it will be cold again. In fact, it’s supposed to be in the 30’s tomorrow. But right now? It’s gorgeous. As in, the newsroom door is propped open and its fantastic in here.

I want to leave RIGHT now to go run. Stupid 5pm news.

Come on Spring!

A little book love

I am a bibliophile. I have had a love affair with books since I was a child. My favorite thing to do is get lost in a good book. My library has become quite massive.

On that note, can we talk about how much I’m loving Rainbow Rowell right now?

I read her first book Attachments a few years ago. Then, I read Eleanor and Park last month. Last night, I bought FanGirl for my Nook. I was devouring it. Reading it at such a pace that felt frantic. Like I couldn’t get enough, and it was going to go somewhere. You know that feeling? I love that feeling. That’s the sign of a good book to me. I’ve read all of her books at that pace. So.freakin’.good.

It doesn’t hurt that she’s from Omaha. Her books are set in Nebraska. FanGirl is set at my Alma Mater, the University Of Nebraska-Lincoln. I love the references! 

In summation: read the books, if you haven’t already. I’m sure some of you have!

Who has 2 thumbs and fixed her treadmill ALL BY HERSELF tonight?!

THIS GIRL!!

I called customer service at NordicTrack. Apparently, they have their own and Sears won’t come fix it. Long story short, I needed to be with the treadmill before the lady would help. She thought it was a roller issues. Before I opened the motor, I worked with the belt one more time and VICTORY WAS MINE!

The treadmill works. I did run tonight at the gym. I hated every single minute of it. I don’t know why. I feel like everyone is staring at me. I’m too paranoid.

Tomorrow, I run at home again. Hurray!

In other news…why have I been dreaming about TrivialBob and Sheila lately? I just don’t know. I find it odd too. 

Good news! Tomorrow is Thursday! The weekend is in sight!

Well, THAT was weird!

I got the cutest dachshund puppy. I was playing with it, and then all of the sudden, all of my co-workers came over. Soon, we were all fighting with each other. Like punching and screaming and yelling at each other. I screamed for everyone to stop it, but they didn’t listen.

Then, President Barack Obama was there, and he had this wire and kept shocking me and everyone else with it. I kept running away, but he would find me and shock me again. It didn’t hurt though. So strange.

Then TrivialBob and MrsTrivialBob came in. And Shelia had her gun, and to gain control of the crowd, she started shooting it into the air.

Well, THAT escalated quickly!

And then I woke up.

(had ya going there for awhile, didn’t I?) 🙂
