Speed Racer go! gO! GO!

i've been running since the half marathon over a week and a half ago. mainly, because i've been eating like a pig, but also because NC and I are doing the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon in Chicago. Even though I have no clue what my time was for the ING - I know it was slower than I could have run it so lately when I've gone running, I turn up the speed. I can't run as far with the speed turned up, but it makes me feel better that I'm running faster. Yesterday I doubled my mileage. Hard - but worth it.

In other news, I'm looking forward to having a Coke this Sunday. I gave it up for Lent (among other things) and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to it. I'm also looking forward to Easter mass then brunch at Shaun's Social Club & Restaurant with Sasha. It's always good when you have something to look forward to on the weekend.

Speaking of things to look forward to, I am date nighting with my Yones at Five Guys tonight. I'm looking forward to a lot of eating! I can't help it. This is why I'll never be anorexic. I guess thats a good thing?

I've been listening to Pandora all week and Doves radio is THE BOMB!
If you haven't heard of or listened to the Doves - CHECK THEM OUT! THEY ARE AWESOME!
Also, listen to Lola Stars and Stripes by the Stills off their Logic Will Break Your Heart Album. Very good and recommended by Cray-Z.

Lola out...or at least until I have something to say...

oh you know what? I just thought of something to recount....

So my coworkers and I get together every first Monday of the month to play trivia at the wing place down the skreet (oh yeah, i say skreet now) from my house. Well one of us, the lamer one, got dumped last Wednesday, which also happens to be the same date she got dumped last year. Apparently, she likes to date dudes with a really cool sense of humor. Anyway, she's not over it and let's be honest, I wouldn't be either, but I also wouldn't talk about it to people I work with. Nor would I cry in front of them. I have been known to cry at my desk, but never publicly. Thats just embarrassing. So anyway, she walks into trivia on Monday night BAWLING. BAWLING. Seriously having a FIT. It's about her breakup and how she's angry that her ex-boyfriend charged her for things she thought he was paying for on their recent trip to Vail. She then starts to ask anyone and everyone seated on the outdoor patio how much they'd pay for lift tickets, flights to Colorado, rental of an Expedition, meals, everything. She basically ruins trivia night. Then she starts talking about how she doesn't make much money, but he did...wah wah...in front of coworkers! I mean you don't discuss salary (no matter how general or specific) with your coworkers. UGH! This continued all through trivia.

In sum, when someone comes to an event crying....
TELL THEM TO LEAVE!
