Hiiiii!!! I'm back!!! What? You didn't notice I was gone? Well, hmph.
*****
We whisked ourselves away for a week in Louisiana, driving from one end of the state to the other, visiting both of our parents, various friends, and even squeezing in a wedding. I'll do a more thorough recap soon, but I just had to write a crap post to get myself back in the habit of blogging.
*****
I've been training (somewhat half-heartedly) for a 10K, working diligently on my 30 Before 30 list, and trying to decide if I want to start doing work in exchange for money on a part time basis. Running is so boring.
*****
I hate the day after returning home from a vacation. Piles of laundry are overtaking my front room. I have a million errands to run and can't do any of them because I have a flat tire. I've got loads of blogs to catch up on. My DVR is overwhelming me with options. I can't even count as high as the scary number on my Google Reader. So, I think I'm just going to go sit on the porch and stare blankly at birds.
*****
I don't even have any pictures downloaded off of our cameras to attempt making this just moderately engagaging. Close your eyes, imagine me feeding a giraffe. Isn't that CHARMING!!!
I just got back from vacation too, so I completely empathize with the laundry and how overwhelming things are when you get back. Glad you had a good time!

Oh I hate that feeling once returning from vacation. It's like I need a vacation to recover from the vacation to get back into my routine without feeling like life is super crazy!
Once I got so busy that I couldn't check my Google Reader for two weeks and my post counts to read was over 1,000. I immediately hacked away at what I subscribed to....thought about going through your list? Just don't delete me if I'm in there, pretty please, don't delete me! :)

Glad you are back, and yes, I noticed. Giraffes have those weirdish slurp-everything-up kinda lips, don't they?

Way to train for the 10K! I wish I would make time (or find the energy) to run. I'm still using the weather (which has been in the 60s & sunny this week) as an excuse. I should probably try to come up with another one soon.

Yeah! Glad to have you back in the blogging saddle :)

No worries, you're not going anywhere ;) I did delete a few blogs, but they were of the jokey variety like Damn You Autocorrect and Failblog. Just too many updates per day!

Very wise words ;)
Posted by: Angela Noelle | February 23, 2011 at 06:53 PM
Yeah, I hate running. But it's effective. And a 10 K is a good challenge. I don't see a 1/2 in my future, but MAJOR congrats to you!!

They doooo! And they're surprisingly gentle!

Haha, yep, the weather has been perfect for running. I hate running when it's hot and I hate running when it's cold, so I only have about a 2 month window where running is even slightly bearable ;)

I just signed up for a 10K and I'm scared. It involves mud and obstacles. Maybe I should start training soon? But I've misplaced my motivation.
