This means i'll be celebrating my b-day in ATX. We are going to stay @ the Austin Motel and doing the Four Seasons brunch on Sunday morning. This is not how i thought i would be ( Read more... )

When i woke up this morning (6:30am), it was already ~43F and the wind was calm.  I decided to run in shorts, a short sleeve shirt and (of course) my trusty visor. I was dressed perfect for this run - it got quite warm out there. The web site said they were trying to get 10,000 runners; they had a record turnout this year with a little over 900 ( Read more... )

So, i wore tights, 2 shirts (one short and one long -sleeved), gloves (thanks bets!) and a cap instead of a visor.  I didn't feel over dressed, which is good. we did a little over 5 miles (10 min w/u, 45 min m/s). i'm really liking my new group.  one of the guides/coaches caught up to me and we ( Read more... )

We have a contract on the G-Town house!!!

And i said, "i NEVER get sick!" and wham-bam-ugh! i went home and proceeded to get sicker as the night went on and woke up with a full blown cold on Saturday ( Read more... )

ok - working in the "Home Support Office" for a grocery store does come with perks, generally in the form of free food.  I am going to help "field test" a new brand of "food bars". I'm not really sure how to decribe them, but basically they are trying to emulate Lara Bars which i love.  hopefully, this goes well - for my sake ;}  because i've come ( Read more... )
