Just in Case You Were Wondering

I'm not dead yet! Things have been hectic around here this week. We ran the Cookie Dash 5K last Saturday . . . well, I say ran but really I walked most of it. I made the mistake of trying to run too fast - uphill - at the beginning. I have issues with my knee (the one that got dislocated several years ago) and it started hurting too much for me to keep running. So I walked most of it, but at least I finished. I got a list of things to do for my knee from my doctor, so I'm hoping that will help me go faster next time.


Caradorn has been in Tucson this week, and so I've been trying to get as much done as possible around the house while he is gone. I've even been rearranging furniture! He will be home this evening, so I am frantically trying to finish everything I wanted to get done before then. In a few minutes I am going to attempt to move the elliptical machine. I want it to to go upstairs in the computer room, but I'm not sure I can get it up there by myself. I intend to try, though, so if you hear muffled screaming you should send help because I've probably been flattened.


Tonight after Caradorn gets home we will have to watch lots of television - our DVR is almost full (really - it's at 97%!) and since most of the shows on there are things we watch together I can't delete anything until he's back. We'll have to clear off some space before next week though, and since we won't be watching anything this weekend then we'll probably be up late watching stuff tonight!


This weekend we are going to watch my sister run in the Nashville Half Marathon. We'll also be going to one of my favorite places to play trivia and we'll get to spend some time with my family. And there's this cupcake place that I've been hearing good things about, so we might have to swing by there.


Next week is The Kidd's band trip to Walt Disney World. We are looking forward to it, though I think some of the people on the trip are going to be disappointed. They have only a few hours in each park, and as bad as the crowds have been lately I don't think anyone will be able to do many rides while they are there. They all seem convinced that they will be able to finish everything in all the parks. I will not say "I told you so" if they complain about it afterward. Really, I won't. I'll think it, but I won't say it.


I feel as though I've been neglecting my blogs lately, and I'm sorry about that. Partly it's because I've been so busy. And partly it's because I don't necessarily want to blog about everything that's been going on lately, but I'm having trouble thinking of other things to blog about. Mostly, though, I blame it on Twitter. If you aren't on there, you should check it out. It's strangely addictive and I really enjoy it. It's so easy to update that I post on there more often than anywhere else.

And now it's time for me to start dragging the elliptical machine around. I've put it off long enough. I know I could wait for Caradorn to get home and help me with it, but I really want to surprise him. I guess he'll be really surprised if he gets home and I'm flattened like Judge Doom after the steamroller incident! Of course, not being a Toon will put me at a serious disadvantage in a case like that, and so I'm going to try my best to avoid that. If I look like a pancake the next time you see me, you'll know what happened.
