Really Wednesday?

This day. Ugh.

  • I didn’t get up and run this morning. I think I’m going to try and run after work. In fact, if I don’t that’s okay. Running that half on Sunday was crazy. I can take a few days off.
  • I found out this afternoon that I can’t go to Minneapolis to see Brooke and Susie (and everyone else) run the Twin Cities Marathon. My station is running a postgame show from the Nebraska-Illinois game at 6pm, and I produce those.
  • That also means that my weekend is split up and I have next Wednesday and Sunday off. That’s annoying.
  • As Brooke said: “sometimes life gets in the way of having fun.” Too true.
  • I got my flu shot today.
  • I was a grownup today. I turned in my Credit Card Rewards for account credit instead of a gift card or merchandise. 9,000 points got me $46.04 in credits. Every little bit helps, right?
  • The good thing? Tomorrow is my Friday!!!

Sometimes, you have a Day. The kind that needs a good run, a good cry or a good friend or family member to talk to? One of those days? Nothing is really wrong, but then again EVERYTHING is?

Had one today.

I had already did a good long run this morning, and want to run again in the morning so a run was out. Instead I headed tho my parent’s house where they recently got a trampoline! You can’t jump on one of those and still be sad. Combine that with two of the best nephews in the world, add in some dachsie snuggles and kisses and life doesn’t look so bad.

I’m a hot, sweaty mess after an hour spent jumping on the trampoline. But I feel better!

Night friends! Sweet dreams!

That one hurt a little

I was just scrolling through my Facebook feed when I saw a photo of my first serious boyfriend and his current girlfriend. Yes, we are still Facebook friends. We don’t talk and frankly I don’t care. It’s been years since I last saw him so it’s no big deal. I’ve also seen pictures of the two of them on Facebook before. They’re cute and I’m happy for them. He and I just weren’t a good fit.

That being said, the photo was tagged by someone else and she said “only a few more months until Tyler and Erin are married!”

That stung a bit. Especially since he is 3 years younger than me, and the way things ended was with him disappearing on me. (why does that seem to happen to me a lot? He was the first to do it, while I was sick in the hospital, no less! He came to see me and then that was it. He quit calling or answering texts. When I finally did get ahold if him he was ‘busy’. Jerk.)

I’ll admit it just makes me sad. Sad that I’m alone. Just sad.

Sigh.

Also, my lower back is killing me. It’s also making my hips hurt. This sucks. And I haven’t run in 3 days and I think I’m going crazy! Ugh!

Enough complaining! Night friends!

How did life get so busy?

I started working at the Corky Canvas this week. I trained a bit Monday and then observed and did some bar sales last night. It was fun. I think I’m going to like the job. And the extra $80-$120 every 2 weeks should be pretty awesome.

This was last night’s painting they did:

My boss and I were changing out some of the display wine on the wall, she gave me a bottle of Pinot to take home. I, of course, promptly forgot it at the studio. I don’t work there again until Thursday so who knows if it will still be there. Oh well. I’m not a big drinker anyway.

I worked Monday and Tuesday nights there, had a late dinner with a college friend Monday, have tonight off, and work at Corky Thursday and Friday nights. I feel like I don’t have much time to catch my breath this week. But its ok. It’s good. It’s distracting me from the fact that the one guy that I like that I went out with a few weeks ago hasn’t called in several days. Distractions are good.

In other news, I told Brooke last night that I was going to get up early and run before work this morning. Do we think that happened?

Nope. But, I’m going to run 3 easy miles tonight when I get home. Promise! Then I have to run Thursday morning and Friday morning. There’s no other time to do it.

Tonight, my roomie and I are going to make guacamole, relax and watch tv. (after I run, promise!) I need a ‘me’ night.

I want to write a Fargo weekend recap. Because that weekend was too awesome not to recap. Perhaps tonight? We shall see.

Have a good day friends!

I’m 0 for 2

Today’s date cancelled on me too! We were supposed to meet up before the annual Nebraska Spring Football game for a drink. I texted him to find out if he still wanted to, and he replied back that his friend had ditched him so he didn’t come down for the game either. (he lives in Omaha as well). Its pretty much just par for the course when it comes to my love life.

He said he comes down to Lincoln a couple times  week and if I go to Omaha I need to let him know. We exchanged a few other texts and that was it. I’m not holding my breath. 

On the plus side? It’s 70 degrees here, sunny and gorgeous! I’m going to head out in an hour or so for a 10-12 mile run. Its also crazy windy, and that’s supposed to slow down soon. Fingers crossed. 

Also, thank you for all your sweet and kind comments on last night’s post! My ego has taken a beating this weekend, that’s for sure. But you guys made me feel better! And Bob and Victoria are right: they wouldn’t tow for license plates and I totally did dodge a bullet! Seriously.

But to the jerk who reblogged my post and added their own comments about me nursing my bruised ego and how I must be “such a keeper:” because I obviously don’t care about this guy and his car being towed… No one asked you! I never heard back from him. I’m fairly confident if he was telling the truth he would have tried to reach me by now. Just sayin’. People can be so cruel. 

In other news, today has been a decent day; I slept in, ran some errands, bought a new comforter for my bed when I move, and ran into an old friend at the mall. Life is what you make of it. And I’m going to make mine great! I also discovered a turkey in the driveway when I walked out the door to go shopping. I chased it into the backyard where it panicked because it couldn’t get out due to the fence. I snapped a photo and it finally found its way out. I live in the middle of town! I didn’t think I’d see wildlife here! 🙂

Happy Saturday friends! 🙂

Life and Stuff

Exciting things are happening right now!

Here they are in no particular order…

  • I ran 5.35 miles tonight…same route with a little more tacked on from last night. That same hill? My fastest time was 7:15/mile down the hill! It was fun to run that fast!
  • I have a date tomorrow with the texter, and I’m meeting another guy on Saturday for a drink. It’s fine. I just have to keep their names straight.
  • I’m moving! My roomie’s boyfriend moved in with us in early March. It has been kind of awkward for me, so I’m moving in with one of my co-workers and her roomie. AND I don’t have to live in the basement! So excited about that! Plus I got a new (bigger) bed! 
  • It’s supposed to be 70 degrees here tomorrow and Saturday so I’m super excited to go for my long run on Saturday. 
  • I’m going to Denver next weekend for a 4 day weekend with my BFF. I leave Thursday night and don’t come home until late Monday. I got a super cheap flight on Southwest a few months ago. It’s only costing me $93.30! So freakin’ excited. I foresee a new Coach purse in my future! 🙂
  • Tomorrow is Friday!!!! So happy about that one!

Hope you all have a great night friends! 🙂
