Running Commentary

Still here October 29 2005

Still not running much.
Still hating that.
So much so that I had the sudden urge to run today, while walking home from work in my work clothes and dr martens. Not good running attire. I was walking up a steep hill and I could feel it in my legs and my WHOLE BEING wanted to run run run. Don’t worry though…I totally over came it and continued to walk.
Hoping to run tomorrow
My little sister (not feffie) pitched a fit had a seizure at work the other day…and is in the hospital. She had 2 seizures about 14 years ago over the period of a couple of months and then was medicated for it for years never ever having another one. They took her off all meds about 6 or 7 years ago and has been fine since…until yesterday. Poor thing. I feel badly for her. Her meds back then really affected her badly. She gained weight and got really really stupid (sorry…true story). Now that she totally has a life it would be a giant leap backwards for her.

The Puppies October 24 2005

So yeah…she had 9.
And now there are 8. One poor bastard died Saturday night…his head was deformed. We buried him in a little box in the back yard. The boys are quickly falling in the love with them all. It’s going to be tough when it’s time to say goodbye.

!@(images/puppies.jpg popimg: “puppy-wuppies”) < -- this photo was taken when they weren't 24hrs old...they are now 3 days old and are at least twice that size...the seem pretty big to be miniature poodles but what the hell do I know?

So I am working today…only until 3pm because I have the luxury of part time hours in a mindless job. Anyway…I am running home from work today..I should be able to add enough to it for it to be about 6km….which is good since i haven’t run in a while. I am only typing it so I feel commited to doing it.
I am hoping for Around The Bay next spring and have to start somewhere…may as well be here and now.

Hold me to it please.

Out Of The Mouths …. October 19 2005

You know, we try to be good parents. We TRY to teach our children right from left wrong. We try to teach them to respect adults and to have lovely manners and not be serial killers etc. GOD DAMN that’s a lot of work. And although most of the time we have lovely little tyrants boys sometimes, sometimes we have demon spawn with sugar on top.
Take, for example the incident in the grocery store yesterday afternoon. Chris and Noah had gone to the grocery store to pick up just a few things for dinner. No need for a cart Chris let Noah walk. The quickly lapped the store and grabbed the ingredients we needed for our feast. On the way to the cash Noah spotted the Popsicle cooler and decided it was a necessary detour, since he had received a box of kool-aid man shaped Popsicles just the other day and he NEEDED to show them to Daddy. Anyway, they visited the Popsicles and Chris took one step away from him towards the cashier lines when this crazy old woman with a cart cut Noah off and trapped him in the corner. Trying to push him out of her way by nudging the cart closer and closer to him. Chris was appalled and opened his mouth to say something to her when suddenly it happened.
It happened loud and it happened clear.
Noah shouted at the top of his lungs “STOP IT STUPID LADY!”
And the stupid lady stopped.
Noah was able to get around the offending cart step right up beside the stupid lady and shout, looking straight up in her face, “You are a stupid lady!”
Chris, absolutely speechless at this point touched Noah on the shoulder in hopes of steering him towards the check outs and eventually the freedom of the parking lot. So under the silent watchful gaze of the entire town grocery store Noah took Chris’s hand looked up to his face and said “Daddy? Did you see that stupid Lady? That was a stupid lady daddy! That lady had a stupid cawt”.
