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!!

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.

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.

Can’t sleep…

A family member died last week.  He was only 45.  It was an accident.  The wake was today.  There was over 100, maybe 200 people there.  It was so sad.  His wife, kids, parents, sisters, brothers, family from who knows where, friends…there was so many people there, it was hot. Unfortunately, the a/c couldn’t keep up.  They had a video/slide show going on.  Just sad.  We paid our condolences.  Said hello to a few people I haven’t see in a long time.  And we left.  But not really, my heart is there with them.  I cannot imagine what they are going thru.  The last time I saw him was June at a party.  He looked so different now.  He just looked thin and empty.  May he rest in peace. 

Yet, we keep moving on.

Hello world.  This is my first attempt at blogging.  Never thought I would do this but it just seems a good way to release my mind.  I have to thank a friend for the inspiration.  Thanks manda!
