“GOD computers are SMART”

time 9:19 pm feeling hot wearing pjs ready for another great day! next bedtime

Today was such a great day. Thus I feel the need to record it.

I got up and rode my bike to the gym. It was absolutely beautiful this morning and the ride was very calming. Lifted and scurried back (late for work as usual; luckily few people mind). I hope I am getting stronger. Got to work, played Tea Xchange with Angela, and Brad showed us his Webkinz. It is SUPER awesome and I TOTALLY want one (hahahahaha) seriously those things are way cool. No wonder it’s addicting. Luckily for my parents the internet only existed as PRODIGY MESSAGELISTS when I was 10. Hah!

Spent a bit more time on ff0000.com (yes the hex for red) messing around with my work buddies. That site is so sweet, you gotta check it out. Cruised around for HAM and Groovy Girls stuff and explored RCady’s giant font library. Had a great review and Greek salad lunch that was very helpful (the former) and tasty (the latter). Then I got a message from Alyssa and a comment from Sarah and found out that we get Special Stephie Time on Friday. Yay.

Tiffany and I took a trip to rescue lemon bars from the coffeeshop and then laughed over the hilarious Onion article about EMPOWERING WOMEN lol! Later in the afternoon we went to see Shrek 3 as a company (our reward for…something). It was probably the least strong of the three but I still totally loved it (except the weird princess parts relating to EMPOWERING WOMEN). Raced out of there and headed to softball.

I was secretly hoping the game would get cancelled (who am I kidding, when do I not wish this - maybe not after this week), and it was totally dusty and windy, yuck, but it was an awesome game. Angela and Carolyn BOTH caught fly balls, Jamie caught a really good hit/got an out too, and Rachel hit two triples. (EMPOWERMENT lmao.) I got on base three out of four at-bats and got two runs. Good thing I am super fast because that really confuses people, LOL. I even scored the winning run and I didn’t NOT catch any foul balls (because none came to me, ha). It was pretty amazing. Jeff was a super first baseman and everyone was very happy after the game.

Came home and had a tasty eggplant-onion-garlic-pasta dish. Watched Al Gore and, again, people, he IS running. You heard it here first! Emailed my landlady because I totally destroyed my window trying to ‘patch it up’, so while it’s hot and stuffy in here, I don’t have any bugs and I know she will fix it somehow because she’s like that.

Now it’s bedtime which will be lovely. I was super duper crabby on Monday so this day was a welcome treat. HURRAH! Happy Tuesday!!!

time 12:35 pm feeling clean wearing whatever ready for a clean apt next procrastinate

Soooooooo yeah. I guess it’s not just ease of updating that holds me back but a remarkable lack of anything interesting to say. Yet here I am, writing…heh heh heh you are all so lucky.

Anyway other than knowing I really really should clean the rest of my apartment today (and not just little cleaning, either; I’m talking top-to-bottom, throw-stuff-out clean. I did this to my kitchen and bathroom last week and it was awesome. But now of course I just don’t wanna waaaah LOL.) it’s been a pretty nice weekend. Heck, a pretty nice past few weeks, for that matter, since I haven’t updated in a zillion days. WHATEVS.

So in the past few weeks, we did my mom’s 60th which was wonderful, went to Vegas which kicked so much ass, had HAMJAM which was superfun but BAD NEWS!, my cousin Michael broke his leg which sucked, and tons of other stuff I’m sure. Oh yeah Katie’s wedding shower. That was pretty great too. And last weekend kicked off outdoor running. I’m sure we could have started earlier but Jeff and I were in varying amounts of weird knee pain (unrelated).

Normally we start by running the 3 or so mile route around my apartment. Not so this time! We ran to, around, and back from the lake (Nokomis)(this is almost five miles I think). I felt great, and totally made it with even a sprint at the end. Wow! Until the next morning and the days following. I hadn’t been in that much post-workout-soreness-pain since….well since a few weeks before when I did some weird leg thing at gymnastics, but nevertheless! Yesterday we ran once more but this time it was like 85 degrees (we can only run about once a week without getting hurt, I think I’ve decided). HORRIBLE. I am in less pain today but yesterday was quite difficult. Death by sun!

Yeah so that was that. Then we took Jeff’s dad out (excuse me, JEFF took his dad out, I was just along for the ride) for his bday dinner and then met up with our UMN design friends for a few drinks. Everyone was so excited to see us that it was kind of pathetic, because they were only excited since Jeff and I hardly EVER go out, ha ha. We’re homebodies, people!

Oh yeah last week was pretty great too. Work’s been calm which is weird, but nice, because it affords us plenty of time to do things like go to the library and research and look at super cool old books, and it allows me time to drink and bowl with my little developer friends (not that they’re little). And I got a free lunch as a bribe to go to a meeting, and I had MJDWLX lunch which was lovely. They came to M&S and even as a director MJ made time for us! Yessssss.

Wow this is a really stupid entry about my weekend. Sorry guys.

I just realized when working out this morning that I am one of only two of my HS buddies (the “TGs”) to not have received or to be working on an advanced degree. Ha! Ha! That cracks me up.

Ummm what else. Next weekend is Katie and Bill’s wedding in Madison. It’ll sure be nice to have a long weekend in Madison; maybe we’ll do some MADISON TYPE THINGS like farmer’s market for example. We shall see!

I have a whole list of stuff I want to accomplish/do/eat (ha!) this summer… I should put that up if I ever find it again. Suffice it to say once I clean my car and apartment there is much fun to be had.

Oh yeah and now for a quick public service announcement…I no longer eat ground beef, and, quite likely, any beef at all. This is not meant as an affront to those of you that do, so please stop taking/do not take offense. But yeah, um, that’s that.

Happy Sunday! OH yeah and happy b-day Chloe!
