Not. Good.

Alright, so I FINALLY did my tempo run last night.

You how so very often you dread a run and you moan and groan about how much you don't want to run and then you finally get up the gumption to run and you're so glad you did because you feel so much better?! You know, the runner's high?

Yeah, well, I didn't experience that last night. In fact it was the very opposite... I felt worse after I ran.

Blah!

That's how I feel.

It's been a boring, lazy, turd of a week.

No workouts.

No running.

No nuthin.

Just eat, sleep, work.

Show me the money!!!

Well kids, sorry I was MIA all weekend but its because I really was MIA.

I worked Friday, Saturday, Sunday and last night. Thankfully I don't have to go back in until Friday. I need to get caught up on some things. Particularly my exercising and eating right.

I slept right through my alarm clock today so needless to say, I did not do my tempo run. I'm planning on doing it tomorrow. I just haven't decided if I'm going to do it in the morning or after work...

Where's the snooze button?

Well folks, the week's almost over. Praise the Lord! However now I'm thinking that I'm not going to be looking forward to weekends as much as I used to.

I think I have officially eliminated any chance of me ever getting caught up on my sleep for a long time. What am I getting myself into?

Did you save room for dessert?

Ohboyohboyohboy!

Who's sick of the snow?!?! MEEEEEE!!!

It took me an HOUR AND A HALF to get home from work last night! Usually it takes me 40 minutes - and that's on a bad day!!

Well, crap.

I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. Which to start with first??

The bad news, you say? Alright good, that way I can get it out of the way...

Get outta my way!!

Anybody else ready for this week to be over because I totally AM!

Yesterday I kept thinking it was Tuesday but today I keep thinking its Friday. Oy! I need a vacation. Preferably somewhere warm and tropical.

So we got more snow Tuesday and yesterday. Yuck. I.Hate.Winter. Why, oh why, didn't we move to Savannah when we had the chance?!?! I'm still kicking myself for that one.

Thank goodness for my parents, though. Not only did they give us a place to shack up all weekend, due to the lack of power, but also my dad has let me borrow his B.A.T. (Big Ass Truck) with 4 wheel drive that will go just about anywhere. This thing is seriously a TANK! (If I think about it, I'll take a picture.) People just kinda move out of your way when you drive that thing. Its kinda nice. I feel so powerful and badass! haha

And then there was light...

So yeah. The snowstorm that swept across Ohio? (and most of the northeast for that matter) Left us with no power for most of the weekend. It sucked. I'm officially SICK of being cold.

There are still people in our area with no power and some may not have it restored until later this week. I feel bad for them.

We are fortunate, though, because my parents live right next door to us and my dad has this big ass generater that he hooked up to his house. So, while we weren't running on all cylinders, we at least had somewhere to go with heat and running water.

My dad has an older generator that he was planning on hooking up to our house but, while it would start and run, it wouldn't produce any power. We were starting to get worried that our pipes were going to freeze.

Fortunately, though, our power came on yesterday around 10:00 - almost exactely (haha oxymoron) 24 hours from when it went off. Talk about relief! I was jumping up and down cheering!

But by that point, the whole weekend was pretty much a waste...

To veg or not to veg...

Btw, I had my WHOLE FREAKING POST done, clicked publish and it deleted all of it below the break line. My blood is boiling.

So I've been attempting to go vegetarian, vegan where possible, since Saturday. So far its going alright. Yes, only alright.

At the moment, I am throughly annoyed due to a botched attempt at making vegan almond biscotti. I just wasted a cup of organic sugar, half a cup of olive oil, and two cups of whole wheat pastry flour. That shit's expensive!!!


Lacey is currently not a happy camper in the vegan department but I do have a pot full of sauteed sugar cooling on my stove at the moment. Anybody want some??

Never fear, I'm still here!

Wow, so I hadn't realized that Wednesday was the last time I blogged. I really haven't been that busy, I suppose I've just been lazy in the blogging department.


I suppose I'll do a little day by day recap. I promise to keep this as short as possible...
