a new adventure everyday
That is how long we have been married. Amazing how time flies!
We did not give each other gifts, but we did go and pamper ourselves. We went to the Urban Spa Chic. We loved the place. It was small and quiet. And the atmosphere was perfect. We both had a soak, massage and pedicure. It was very relaxing. I can’t wait to go back.
It was a good way to celebrate our 10th anniversary. 🙂
*sigh* They lost. Oh so many excuses: the field was nasty (it really was), it was cold (it was around 56 degrees), blah, blah. The team just did not look like they had it in them today. The final score: 11-2.
Although there was good news: Eric finally was able to play. His right wrist has been hurting for the past couple of months. We think is was carpal tunnel syndrome. But he got a brace for it and he had been nursing it for a while. He put himself later in the game. He did have a base hit so that is good news. 🙂
Hope next week will be a better one.
Here is my report for this morning’s race:
It was a beautiful morning! Cloudy up until I hit the finish line. We ran right thru the middle of Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a little crowded in parts of the zoo but I was able to manage to run thru it. My time was under 32 (or 33) minutes. 😯 I can’t remember which because I was so focused on crossing the line before the timer hit 32(33):00, that I truly can’t remember the time. I want to say under 32 min though. I will check tomorrow for my official time (we were wearing championchips).
ETA on June 5: I finally checked to see my official time. 31:31!!! OMG! I can’t believe it!!! Yay!!!
Afterwards, Diego ran his Kangaroo Hop race. Came in last! But he got a really cute medal so it was worth it. 🙂
Wow, it is the first day of June. We are almost half way thru the year already. I can’t believe how fast the time is going.
Well, we have officially started planning Diego’s party. The date is July 29, 2007. The venue will be at the Labagh Woods, grove 2 to be exact. This is the exact spot that I had my family baby shower two years ago. It will be nice to go back. The theme will be Blue’s Clues. Need to get my booty moving to get this planned.
There is only a problem with July 29: I have my 10K race that morning at 8 am. I am not going to think about how tired I will be at the end of that day. Eck!
Another win by the Beavers! The score: 8-3. Yay! It is always great when they win.
This is the Chicago Advertising Co-Ed Softball League. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been updated in over a year. Hope the new folks running the league this year will update it soon.
It was fun. My brother and his family moved there last year. This was our first outing to his new house. It was a blast. My parents, my other brother and his kid and my aunt and her family also went. It is a two hour drive from Chicago. It is a nice drive.
My brother had told me to bring a bathing suit but did not mention that they had a pool. Very nice!
Diego was prepared. I had gotten Diego some swimming trunks and swimming diapers. He looked really cute.
Diego also enjoyed his time on the trampoline. He loved jumping on the trampoline
And he loved running on the trampoline, too.
The food was yummy! Grilled skirt steak, hot dogs, salads, roasted corn, cookies and cake.
We had to bail out early. Diego did not and would not take a nap. The minute the car was started, Diego knocked out. We thought he was going to sleep thru the drive but no luck. After an hour, he was awake. We got home sometime after 7 PM. He did not go back to sleep until 8:45 PM. Now it is my turn.
Night, night!
It has arrived and gone by. If you remember, my goal was to run it under 40 minutes. Guess what? I ran it under 36 minutes. 😯 That was a shocker to me. The official clock at the race was 36:55 minutes but since we had to keep our own time I adjusted accordingly. So it was more in the range of 35:52 minutes. I am just very proud of making this time. I will have to post pictures later. I am just too tired to do that right now. Night, night.
Softball season has finally begun. Eric is the coach for this co-ed softball team. They play on Tuesday nights. This is his 4th year. He wanted to retire last year but his team really likes him so he didn’t.
They played their first game today. They were down initially but they were able to get out of the hole and won, 10-8.
I went home and picked Diego up so we can go watch the team play. Diego had a grand old time as always. He was filthy by the time the game was over. The dirt on the field was all over him. His hair felt like he had a can of hairspray in there. Not giving him a bath tonight but definitely tomorrow morning.
Overall, it was a great first afternoon of softball.
This was an email that was sent to my good friend Jen who happened to miss Sofia’s 1st birthday party. If you don’t know my husband, well, this email said it all.
Used with permission.
Jen,
You missed it this party was off the charts!!! It was the bizomb!
The birthday girl partied so hard she passed out towards the end of the party. I mean the girl was down for the count. All the while wearing, are you ready for this?, a peek-a-boo dress. But her bodyguard was keeping an eye on the sitch-ee-a-tion. Nobody was a gonna get a peek at her boo while big daddy is around.
The celebrated brother was king of the dance floor. This kid’s got some real Happy Feet.
Now for the part Devin probably “forgot” to mention. The Divine Miss Em was riding a motorcycle. Oh, and the kid is a real swinger. A chip of the old mommy block. She loves to swing. Spin? Not so much. Reminds me off that old eighty’s tune. “you spin me round, round, baby, round, round, like a record, baby, round, round. (man those were lyrics back then)
The Divoky kids never showed. They must have been watching the Cubs trounce the Sox.
Diego Mateo was dirty! Naw, really, the kid’s bath water was brown on Sunday morning. Yeah, the plan was to hose him down as soon as we got home but as soon as we put him in his car seat it was like someone clapped their hands and shut him off for the night. Man, I love the clapper. Not the kind you get from cheap hos. Sorry, honey, I don’t mean you. You’re not
cheap. (no he di’in, yes he di’id)Speaking of Angelica, she totally know who you are. She just remembers you as the thriller girl. check it out…
As for nudity, I’m holding out for the day when we all get our private island. Or next time we go camping.
Have you ever had that feeling that you need to do something before the day is over or else you regret that you did not do it? That was me tonight.
I was supposed to go running at the gym today during lunch. I was just plain lazy and did not do it. But right after I left for lunch I regretted not going.
For the rest of the day, I had the nagging feeling that I needed to go and take a run. But I was just making excuse why I should go running: it will be late, I need a shower, blah, blah & blah!
After Diego went to bed (about 8:30 pm), I told Eric I was going to go for a run. I put on my new running skirt (I needed to try it out), a t-shirt, iPod and out the door I went. I figured the safest route was down Halsted St. Click here to check out my route.
It was a fantastic night to run. Light breeze, cool temp and just a nice run overall. Almost 2.4 miles in 26 minutes.
Now I feel like I accomplished something and can go to sleep with no regrets. 🙂
see angie run
