what a stellar weekend...

So yeah, the weekend, it was good.

Friday night was Run Like Hell. The weather was absolutely TERRIBLE all day long. Luckily, it sort of stopped raining for the race. I jogged the race for fun with Jessie...it was good times. There was a costume contest. I won sexiest costume. It was sort of an afterthought. I ran the race in a hoola skirt and a coconut bra. I had the coconut bra over my long sleeve shirt and jacket. After the race, when they were doing the contest, I thought to myself...hmmm...sexiest costume... I can do this; so I stripped down to my sports bra (which is how I normally run when it's not freaking cold) and I put the coconut bra on over the sports bra. I won! What did I win? $100 gift certificate to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Sweet. I was sort of shocked when I opened the envelope...

Check it out...here's pictures from the race on Tuxbro's site...and I'm in the mix...

I also made a slide show of this grand event...

Saturday morning was Pleasant Run Run. This was a 5 mile race that I actually ran hard in. Run Like Hell was just a fun run...sort of like a warm up jog...Pleasant Run Run marked my 2 year anniversary in the little running road races, so I was particularly excited about this one. Plus, they give you free lunch afterwards. It was crazy windy, and that had a negative effect on my time. I was a bit dissapointed, but oh well, it was still 6 minutes faster than last year's Pleasant Run Run. I got 1st in my age group, so that was cool. That's a far cry from where I was two year's ago when it took me 55:15 to finish this race. It's nice to see that I've improved A LOT. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep it up.

Saturday evening...

LORI came into town...and we went to Jessie's Halloween part. Oh goodness...it was great times. AND I made cupcakes. They were super. I put apple sauce instead of oil in them. It made them better for you...so you could eat more. Of course, I took lots of pictures...and they sort of can do the explaining. I made a slide show of them too. Yeah, it was crazy. I laughed A LOT.

Then, yesterday was the Colts game. 7-0 baby!!!

good times...

girl drama girl drama

OH! The drama. I hate drama. So much. Especially girl drama. It also sort of makes me chuckle. It's kind like watching a soap opera. You don't want to, and it's terrible, but for some reason, you sort of still watch it. Then, you're mad at yourself when you do.

I'm busting on out of this joint. October 31st. I leave Pennsylvania St. It's gonna be a sad day. I like this house. However, things have gotten unbearable!! Absolutely crazy unbearable. No more I say! No more.

So here's the plan...I'm downsizing. I'm not sure I even want my bed anymore. I'm going to move my stuff down to Lori's. Then at this point, I'll be wandering around. I'll probably sleep at my grandma's a lot. When I'm not wandering up here, I'll be down at Lori's in KY...or climbing of course.

So yeah, the drama. Where does it start??? Hmmm...woo...sit down...maybe grab a drink or two...this is going to get good. Ready???

I may have to break this into two parts. It gets pretty crazy.

So, should I start with Leo? Leo is a pug that was brought into our house. This pug was uninvited. It was sort of one of those things that Lindsey decided on her own and hoped that Lynsey and I would agree with. She told us it was ok with the land lord. It turns out it was not ok with the landlord...it's still not ok, however the dog is still here.

This dog has not been potty trained. Lindsey is never home to do anything. The dog has ruined all sorts of stuff. Most recently, it has ruined my head lamp. There's a huge list of other stuff of both mine and Lynsey's that has been ruined.

She also has another dog. This dog used to be well behaved. It now barks all the freaking time. All night long...all night...all night. Drives me nuts!

Let's see...what else?

Oh yea! there's the fact that she went freaking crazy!

and then...she drank my Patron. You don't do that. You don't just drink someone's Patron. That's special. If that's not bad enough, she let me know she wasn't going to give me any money for it. On top of the Patron, a bottle of my wine was also consumed.

So there's a party here tomorrow night. I wasn't really asked if a party could be had. I do believe it's my place. Oh well, I'm not that worried about it.

Lindsey flipped out on me tonight. First of all, she came into my room without knocking while I was in it. She then informed me that she wanted to put stuff in MY room. It's MY room. Even if I'm out by the 31st, it's still MY room till the 31st, right? She wanted to put stuff in there because of the party tomorrow.

Ok, then she turned the internet off because I'm not paying for it. No biggie, I don't really care. I told her I would make her a deal. If she paid me for everything her dog destroyed of mine, I would gladly stop using the internet. She said deal, don't use the internet.

I then proceeded to make a list of everything that has been destroyed (including my head lamp). It was a quick list and and a low ball estimate equalling $238 dollars.

I took it downstairs to her, she said I'd like to see where you got that figure but it doesn't matter, I'm not giving you shit. I yes, yes you will pay me. She said fine, I'll pay you the day you move out (right.). I said ok, until then, I get to use the internet. She said no you won't it's not yours. I was tempted to tell her she couldn't use the gas or the water because they weren't hers, but then she would take away my right for electricity, and that would just be too much drama for me. I said, ok, maybe I can just be like you, and just take things because I think I'm justified in having them. I picked up her make up brushes. She said, remember, your stuff is still here, and I may just take a shit on your bed. (WTF???)

This is where it gets good. She said, Rose, if don't think I won't kick your ass. If you want me to kick your ass, I will. I said I will gladly take every single punch you will throhw at me. I will not retaliate, but as soon as you're done, I'll call the cops. She said, Rose, nothing you can say will scare me. I then called her a bitch. I don't think I've ever called anyone a bitch before...you know I was fuming. I think steam could be seen coming from my ears. She said, I know I am.

Well, at least she knows.

Anybody want to crash a Halloween party tomorrow?

There's so much more that could be said...but I'm not as fuming now...so my thoughts are losing steam...so I must go to bed...

I love my friends...I really do.

So, this weekend was quite the weekend.

Saturday, I ran a half-marathon. It was good times, except for I'm limping around now. I stepped in a pothole at mile 5. The guys below, from my work, did the half-marathon too. I'm proud of them. The guy in the middle cut 15 minutes off his may mini-marathon time. That makes me happy. I hope that come this may...he cuts another 15 minutes off...




wow...that was interesting to nobody but myself...and I'm ok with that.

So, right after the race, I had to scoot on over to a wedding. My friend Jessica got married to a wonderful guy named John. I've never met anybody before that you could just tell so easily that they belong together. When you talk to John, it's like talking to Jessica...and it's kinda weird. Anyway, Jessica is an amazing amazing amazing person and I lover soo much! She moved away from Indy earlier this year. She moved up to Wisconsin. That made me sad because I miss her. :( Anyway, they just had a small reception at a church. It was cute. You could tell that Jessica's artistic ideas were present. So, after that, a small group of people went down to the Cladaugh. After contemplating whether or not I should go and chilling out at home for a bit, I decided to make my way down there. I'm glad I did because I got to love me some more Jessica!!! Also, the sister of a priest that I miss very much (because he moved to Austria) was there. I had never really gotten the chance to talk to her much, so that was really nice. It was good times all around, and I ate good food, and had some good drinks. Then, I headed home and crashed because it had been a super long day.

Here's Jessica and John! They are wonderful together! Oh how I love my super Catholic friends!


I love my super non-Catholic friends too...

Sunday,

Colts!!! 6-0!!!!

YEAH! I got to watch the game with my favorite Colts game watching people...

We drank some wine. It was odd to drink wine and watch football...but that's what we did...

see...


As you can see, Rocky also joined us for the game. He even let me take a picture with him. It was a highlight of my day... :)


He helps me when I run.

I may have gotten a little over zealous with photos in this post. I'm cool with it if you are...are you? Sorry if you're still flippin on dial up. :)-


Then, I went over to my friend Dustin's house, where one of his friends also came over and we had a sort of chick flick marathon...

I'm sure Dustin was way happy to get to watch two chick flicks with two girls.

Good times.

Jessie's Halloween party is on Saturday. You should go.

a night post...what?

I don't think I've written anything at night in a while. Maybe that's why all my posts suck these days. For some reason, I got in the mood to write on there.

Maybe it's because of a few things. First off...frozen grapes. I ate a whole bunch of them tonight. They bring to mind a pretty funny incident from last fall...I think I wrote about it. Let me check.

Yep...there was someting...in this post....saying this:

Speaking of that whiteboard...last week I was showing this girl how to prove that a limit is equal to whatever. (If you want to know how to do this yourself...just see this post) I told her i was going to do it on the whiteboard because it's "pretty much the coolest thing ever." The girl was kind of weird...and a little rude...and she said. "you think that it is the coolest thing ever?" as though I was being serious or something. I looked at her and said "well I mean...it's not the coolest thing ever..." Then she asked me if it was better than sex. WTH? (that's what the heck...I stole it from Laura Hash...I thought it was funny)

Ok, so now you're wondering...hmm...that doesn't say anything about frozen grapes. Well, after this conversation, I was conversing with Amy. (she's cool). She pointed out that frozen grapes definately were better than sex. Ha. It was good stuff. We laughed a lot. I don't think I helped her out much in Calculus. Did I Amy? :) Have you guys ever had frozen grapes? Try them and see for yourself. Also, try writing on a white board the size of a wall. I still think that it's the coolest thing ever. Yeah...well...moving on.

STAR WARS!!!!

Oh Thom...do you remember Srini? I mean, of course you remember Srini. For those of you who don't know this guy (Srini), he was funny. I don't think he liked me much. I told him knock knock jokes, and it would make him angry. Ha. I haven't talked to him in a long time...I wonder if he would like to hear a knock knock joke. Anybody have a good one? So yeah, Srini was completely shocked that i had never seen Star Wars. He even asked me how I could call myself an American.

Well...ready for it? I have now seen one of the Star Wars episodes. Man, sort of sad...now I can't say I've never seen Star Wars. That day is over in my life. It's a monumental moment. Ok, maybe not that monumental...but lots of people have tried to get me to watch it with no success...

I like this guy:


He makes funny noises.

****

Lemon Poppyseed Cliff Bars...no good. Don't eat them.

****

I'm running a half marathon on Saturday. Should be good times.

****

After that...my dear friend Jessica is getting married!!!! I love her. The guy she is marrying...John...he's nice too. They have a cute story.

****

Guess what day it is???

No silly, it's not Thanksgiving. It's Friday the 13th.

Jessie let me know yesterday in an e-mail. What is one to do on Friday the 13th? Have a scary movie-athon?

Who knows.

I have the urge to eat caramal apples.

However, this morning, I was driving, and it was still dark out...I sort of felt like it was Christmas.

That's because it's so cold.

So Thom, I think I'm going to do that Lara Croft thing. You're the only one who gave me any ideas...so I think I'm gonna run with it. :)
