Five For Friday

I called it "Four Things Friday" last week, but I'm changing it up and calling my Friday posts "Five For Friday" - reminds me of Five for Fighting, one of my favorite bands from the last year.

Anyways, hold on because HERE. WE. GO! Five For Friday:

1. Emily had 5th grade trivia night at school yesterday. She wore a dress of Aunt Lisa's. Emily looked MUCH older than her 10 years. Their table's theme - Prom - meant that the girls were dressed to the 9s!










2. Adam just told me that someone on Bus 5 found a pair of undies on the bus floor that had SKID marks. GROSS!!! When asked if they were his undies, his reaction "NO! They were not my underwear. Do you think I'm joking?"

3. I have a confession. Paul had a meeting in North County at 9, so after he took Emily to band at 7:10, he came back home and took Adam to the bus stop. After he left for his meeting, I crawled back into bed, jammies and all. I read a book and took a nap. Well, I tried to nap. Chester (the dog next door), along with the 3 dogs two houses over, conspired to keep me awake with their incessant barking.

Anyway, I digress. I finally got back out of bed at 11:40, took a shower, and was presentable by the time Adam came home at 12:10.

I talked about crawling back into bed since the kids started school in August. This is the FIRST time I actually did just that. I chose today because I'm incredibly sore from yesterday's run and personal training session.

Well guess what? As it turns out, I didn't get a good nap and wished I had just sucked it up and went to the gym. Bah! Oh well. Lesson learned. Next time I will go to the gym since it's obvious that I can't get a good nap at my own house.

4. I'm planning on running 3 Half Marathons this Spring. The first, the Abe Lincoln Memorial Half Marathon, is the race where I'm going to try to get my personal record for the half (2:17:24). Paul is going to pace me at that race. The other two races I'm planning on running with some friends. The 3rd half, I'm planning on running with my college roommate Lisa. I can't wait!




5. My mom is coming in 12 days for a visit. Fun times ahead!
