Random thoughts

I was trying to decided whether to even blog today. I was too busy to post yesterday and I didn't want to go two days in a row with nothing...but is it better to say nothing at all today? I don't want to be insensitive, but at the same time it has been 12 years. I know the pain for some people will never go away, but for others it fades over time.

I was in school in South Carolina that day 12 years ago. My roommate's dad was in New York on business though and I remember the hours and hours she and her family spent waiting to hear from him. Cell service was so bad that they did not find out until that night that he was ok.



So while I will never forget and always take time out to remember those who perished on September 11, I think that it's ok for me to post what I want.

Last night was Track Tuesday. Looking at the workout, I didn't think it was going to be that bad. 200, 400, 600, 800, 600, 400, 200 with rest varying from a jog back to the start to 2 minutes. It ended up being not that fun. I really do need to start running more than three days a week. Things would be so much easier.

It was pretty hot out during the work and I was sweating a ton. Well...I noticed when I got home that all that sweat did weird things to the sunburn on my chest. TMI, I know, but it made the skin bubble(?!) and then peel. So that looks awesome. High-neck shirts all week for me. It also itches, but stings at the same time. Must never forget sunblock again. 



Deb gets here in nine days! Oh, the planning. What are we going to do? The Emmy Awards happen while she's here. And I would LOVE to have an awards show party. But we have plans for 6:30 that night (even though that shouldn't take long) and I don't know that my friends would really be up for a Sunday night thing.

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event

Weekend

I love weekends. I wish they were longer...doesn't everybody? It was quite the lazy weekend too, being that it was so hot out. I ran Sunday...kind of. It was so hot, I hadn't had enough water, or food for that matter, so I cut my run short. And then we opted to eat out instead of cooking. I really need to cook this week. And maybe not drink. Except I have half a bottle of red left over from last night's Bachelorette finale fiesta with E.  Monday. Oh Monday. Cancelled my run once again when the car told me it was 102 outside. Can't wait to be able to run in the mornings. Last night was the Bachelorette season finale so E came over for dinner and some wine. I now love sweet potatoes and I may have had a little too much to drink. And then decided it was a good time to update my iOS on my iphone. I'm still trying to get my phone back to where it should be. It made me do a complete restore, then I couldn't restore from a current backup and when I was f

Insurance process

Ok, so who has ever had their place broken into? First I filed the police report. Then after I actually had a handle on what really was missing I amended the police report. I gathered all of the documentation I could find for the things that were missing - it's amazing how often I just throw away the receipts - and sent that along with an itemized list to the insurance company. Now what? How long will this take? The one guy I spoke to said that they have 15 days to process the claim, but that it usually gets done sooner. Will I hear from them in the meantime? I called my new apartment complex yesterday. I am supposed to be moving on August 31 but naturally I want to get out of here as soon as possible. They told me the current tenant moves out on the 19th and that they may be able to get me in that weekend - the 24th or 25th. They were going to check on a few things and let me know. That would be fantastic. I'm not necessarily afraid to be in my current apartment. But I
