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.  =)

On the other hand…

We had a great weekend though.  This is how the weekend went: 

Friday night: we went to pick up Diego’s pictures from JCPenney.  We also went to exchange some clothes at GAP Kids.  He recieved some fall stuff that probably won’t fit him when fall actually arrives.  We also went to Whole Foods to look for Yobaby yogurt.  They had a ton.  Bought enough for a month.

Saturday:  Diego had his class at the Little Gym.  He seems to get the class now.  He is more interactive with the class.  He is always a trooper.  FIL called Eric later that day.  He decided to do a cookout.  That was nice.  The food was a lot better than last time we went.  Eric bbq’ed the chicken which was delicious.  Diego had a ball playing in vegetable garden.  He was playing with dirt, green tomatos and some apples.  Then he rediscovered greatgrandpa’s cane.  It was cute, he traded a green apple for the cane.  At least he did not make a fuss when we gave the cane back.

Sunday: We went to Brookfield Zoo.  We mostly hung out at the Children’s Zoo.  Diego was able to pet a minature horse named Whisper.  We also saw the BZTV show.  We saw some animals doing tricks.  I think Diego understood some of things that were going on because once in a while he would point at something.  I was thinking about going to the parent’s house but Diego fell asleep so we just went home.

Still sick…

This really sucks.  I hate being sick since I been feeling like I am in a bubble for the past few days.  At least I have been sleeping at night.  I have been taking some Tylenol Cough & Cold so that has helped a lot.

Light workout…

I went to the gym for a little bit.  I did some weight training today.  I feel like I did not do much because I did not sweat much.  But I have a feeling I will be sore tomorrow.  I hope so!

I can’t wait for tonight.  On Diego’s birthday, we had someone come over and take pictures of Diego, Eric and myself.  We are picking up the proofs tonight.  I hope I look okay.  Eric was upset because I did not fix my hair to his standards.  I had taken a shower and my hair was pulled back wet.  That was okay, I think.  I truly hope I look okay.  I don’t want to ruin the pictures.

Tipsy…

Well, it is 11:45 and i just finished a chocolate martini.  Yummy!  I feel a bit tipsy. Ok, more than tipsy.  I think I am buzzing big time.  I know I am not drunk.  It’s my only drink tonight.   I just hope I don’t tip over on the way to bed.  =)  Haven’t had a good buzz like this in a long time. 

I just hope Diego does not wake up tonight because I don’t think I’ll hear him.  Isn’t that horrible????  I’m sure Eric will get up.  I hope!  Good night!
