ZOOtastic!

Maholla peeps-

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Friday night Vanessa and Nick hosted a fun game night fiesta, complete with steak fajitas and Taboo. We must do game night more often, it was really SO fun. I forgot how funny Taboo can be, funny and FRUSTRATING, haha.

Saturday morning I woke up with a head cold =( . I was sneezing, blowing my nose like crazy, and I only started feeling better as I sat on the deck and drank my coffee. I knew I had to be outside, away from the dust and mess of the house, to get rid of this cold. SO- Alex and I walked to the ZOO! A perk of living in Greenwood, you can walk to the zoo, its that close. It was a sunny day, great zoo weather. We spent a good few hours eating popcorn, and making our way around to all the animals amid heaps of small children. My nose stopped running and it turned out to be a great day. The Flamingo exhibit is being promoted like crazy right now, and I have to admit that they are pretty cool birds. How can they sleep on on skinny skinny skinny leg??? A mystery of nature.

Happy Friday Everyone!

Have a great weekend! Enjoy the sunshine!

In my mind, I am a Kenyan

Alex and I have been trying to go running at least 4 times a week, and its been really nice so far. Yesterday after work we headed down to Greenlake, and as we started our run I felt shooting pains up and down my shins. Having been accused of being a cheap arse more then once by Alex for not replacing my year and a half old shoes, I kept my complaining to a minimum. I paid for it later that night. My calves were spasming and cramping like crazy- I could barely concentrate on Project Runway it was so bad. BTW- I like Project Runway again, last season I was totally not into it, but this season has brought me back (that, and I caught a marathon while unpacking last weekend).

Good news- I got new shoes! Asics Gel-Speedstar- and they are PRETTY!! Hopefully I didn't do any permanent damage and will be out this afternoon jogging around.

Whenever I get a phone call late at night, I immediately think someone has died . . . . . anyone with me on this? Am I paranoid? Last night my mom called at 11pm and I was positive something was wrong (don't worry, she just had a COMPUTER QUESTION!).

I am a ninny!

Tennis anyone?

Inspired by the US Open, Alex and I hit the court this labor day weekend for a few friendly games of tennis. Not having played competitively since I was a KJH Colt in 8th grade, and with Alex's skills based solely on childhood outings with his dad, we were a tad rusty. Never the less, it seems that you don't actually have to be good to have a good time playing tennis! And- I think it was more of a workout since we were constantly running after the ball-GO TEAM!
