The other thing we did this weekend was purchase Diego’s costume. I originally wanted him to be a monkey but when I saw this one in the store, I decided to have Diego try it on. It was clearly the winner…

Weekend Recap…
Friday – It has been a long time since I had gone out and partied. We went out for the end of the year softball party. I had a little bit to drink, danced, and had adult conversation (well, if you consider yelling a “conversation”). Then we went to eat at a 24 hour diner. We then went to Becky’s birthday party for a little while. We left at 1:40 am. We were in bed by 2 am.
Saturday – Got up at 7:00. Diego was my alarm clock. 🙂 I had to get Diego ready to go to My Little Gym. Eric and Diego had breakfast, I had none. Then we left. Diego and Eric went to the gym and I went to catch the bus. It was a beautiful day to go running. The race started at 9:55. There were lots of people there so the beginning of the race of a little bit crowded. But once everyone spaced out it was fine. I ran the whole thing. My time was 37:18. I was very surprised because I thought my time was going to be over 40 minutes. I saw Diego and Eric waiting for me at the finish line. That made me very happy.
Sunday – We basically just hung out at home. Saw the Bears beat the Lions 34 – 7. Go Bears!!
Remember 9/11/01…
My office building lit their windows in commemoration of 9/11.
We shall never forget. RIP
He’s walking!!!
Diego started walking today. We are so happy! He had been taking a few a steps for the past month or so. But today he actually took more that a few steps. He went around in a circle. We went to the store and he walked there too. Diego looks so cute because the more he does it the more confidence he gets. Before you know it, he will be taking off!
I can’t believe this…
Today there was a family fair at the park next door. We had gotten an postcard from our alderman,Daniel Solis, inviting us to this event. So we went. When we got there, I signed up for a free raffle. They were raffling off four bikes and a pair of roundtrip airplane tickets. Just as I finished entering, they raffled of a bike. My number was #239 and the number they picked was #240. Bummer! So they announced that at 1:30 they were going to raffle off the rest of the prizes. So we went home since it was getting cold. I told Eric I wanted to come back to check out the drawing ‘cuz you just never know.
So I went back. They raffled off the prizes. I won the tickets!!! They are two roundtrip tickets within the continental US from Southwest Airlines. Now I have to call the alderman’s office on Monday to see how I pick the tickets/vouchers. I am so happy! I have never won anything like this. Now we need to figure out were we want to go!
AIDS Run Walk Chicago 2006
I am so excited about doing this. I am going to do the 5k run. I haven’t done this running thing for a while so I figured this is a good way of motivating myself in doing something good. Not just for me but for this cause. I am going to try to raise some cash. My goal is $50 but I may just bump it up to more. You just never know who may be interested. Here is the link to my page so you can get more information for this fundraiser. Hope you can help out.
Went running…
This is so exciting. I went running today. A whopping 1.5 miles in 20 minutes. I know it is not a big deal but it is for me. I haven’t done this running thing for two years (or more!!) so I was very nervous. My goal was to run one mile non-stop. Once I got to that point, I felt like I could run another half mile. And I did. I think I could’ve done two miles but I did not want to push myself. Let’s see I wake up tomorrow. =)
Happy Labor Day…
Well, it is the beginning of the end of summer. I know we will probably have a few more hot days but it won’t be the same anymore. The mornings and nights will be cool. And the days will get shorter. Alas, once we were complaining about the hot weather, now we will start complaining on how cold it is getting. A never-ending cycle. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
