Running Commentary

bye bye June 23 2005

Sooo the movers come tomorrow and they’re going to take my computer away. EGAD! What the hell? No posts for a couple of WEEKS I guess. Egads again!
Might be less than that…who knows.
In the mean time…who wants to be quest poster? Zoot? You’re always good for a couple of posts.Zeno? Shall I put your name down?
You guys have got to keep the home fires burning.
Dragged Chris and Noah out for 10k today…Chris and noah on a bike with a trailer …me running of course.
Ahhh that felt better.

What to do….

Hmmm what do to while the house is showing and I am at my wit’s end with packing AND trying to leave the house in showable shape??
Oh right!
RUN!

Oscar the Bum June 22 2005

has it occured to anyone else that Oscar the Grouch my actually be a homeless monster? Who else talks to worms and eats out of garbage cans? PLUS he’s always bothering people (or monsters) walking by AND he very obviously smells.
Sesame street has a homeless problem.
WHO KNEW!

Hypothetically Speaking June 21 2005

Say that you brought home a teeny tiny froggie for your science minded little boy to ogle. Say you spent the evening watching in and deciding where to free that little dude the next day. Say you (a real flake most of the time) thought said teeny tiny froggie was not getting enough air and you lifted the screw top off it’s clear plastic prison. Say this morning well looking to exchange salutations with the mini amphibian you noticed the cover was not even ON the bottle anymore and the frog? AWOL. Say your rescue mission has turned into a recovery mission both of which have been utterly fruitless (not too mention frogless). Do you think the stinking rotting carcus of a dead tree frog will slow down the sale of this house more than the bottle cap inadvertently left on the carpet last week?

Sell DAMMIT! SELL!

So our house has still not sold. It’s been less than a month…but we really really need to just flipping sell. On saturday the people that looked, liked it but apparently there was a “smell” which confused us for a bit until we remembered the vomit covered duvet in the washing machine. Great.
We had a showing last night but haven’t heard any feed back yet. I mean it’s almost GOT to sell soon right? RIGHT!
I’m horrible at keeping the house clean, I HATE it. It’s constant. I’ve taken to cleaning it in the morning and then LEAVING with Noah for as long as possible. I come home in time for Brendan to arrive. I clean again, because in the 15 minutes we are home it’s a huge mess again. We hang out till Chris comes home. I pass him the broom torch and I head out for a run.

Running has taken on a whole new use for me now. Not only is it for my physical well being, it clears my mind of course, I see my precious running friends AND NOW it gets me away from cleaning my FREAKISHLY MESSY HOUSE! How can I need to sweep 50 times a day? Do we shed sand? How can I sweep up a dogs worth of fur every single time I touch the broom? How can she still have any fur at all? I cannot wait until I can resume my regularly scheduled slobbiness. Or at least not have to clean 10 times a day. ugh.
