Weekend Recap: "i LIKE dirty"

That's my quote for today, and will probably end up in the quotes sidebar w/ my others. It came up in a conversation about Mariah Carey.

I want to apologize to all my friends for being so lame lately. Believe me, I would much rather be going out w/ you guys like usual, but I'm trying to be a little more responsible. You know I haven't been getting much work done, and now w/ going on vacation, I really need to step it up. Plus, I've just put a big chunk of money, about $5,000 so far, on my credit card to get my new apt. and plane ticket, etc. I could use to save some money too. If interested, I will go out this Wed. night since I'll get my presentation over that day. I just need to run 9 miles first.

On Friday I went to Whole Foods straight from work to get something for dinner. Got more meat for burgers and some Wisconsin cheddar, sweet potato fries. Had a good dinner before I ventured out to get some laundry done. Could be my last time doing laundry at the laundromat. Why can't I remember what else I did? Oh, I think I caught up on Lost and Survivor. Had to diss Jos several times and felt bad but I couldn't help it.

Got up early Sat. morning to go running w/ CRC but it was raining pretty hard so I texted Tara to ask if she still wanted to go. I didn't really want to run for 2 hours in the rain and then have to work all day. By the time she called me back she was almost at the run already. I could have met her on Charles St. since they were running by my place but I backed out. Did go to my new apt. since it was the 15th. Brought some stuff over too. Found that the guy that was fixing it up left a note saying he'd be back Monday to finish. I got all depressed because it was much smaller than I thought and some stuff wasn't so good. Left wishing I never went because I had to go to work and all I could think about was my place and the reasons why I was such a loser. Yes I have a bad, negative attitude and quickly go to my 'i wanna kill myself' place. I'm all too comfortable there. Finally made it to work and did get some stuff done. Yay! Got a call from DB in the outback :0) I like when he calls me, I get a little bit happier, though I doubt you can tell. Had to leave work to go to S&S for Jennie's bday. Got to hang out w/ my fellow postdocs and their significant others who I felt like I knew because I hear so much about them but hadn't met any of them, and met some of Jennie's other friends. Had some blueberry pancakes and then ice cream at Christina's: burnt sugar. Got a ride home and was going to go to bed kinda early, had a race today, but got talking to my roomies. Yes, rr and I were talking for the first time in months. Maybe we can still be friends after all. Talked until almost 2am.

Got up at 9am today for my 5k in Davis Sq. Decided to run there so I'd get in more miles. It was only 4.5 miles from my place in Beacon Hill to Davis Sq. You'd think it'd be longer but nope, you can basically run anywhere around here and it's probably quicker than the T. Got to the meeting spot early and then started freezing because I was sweaty and just standing there. Tara was having trouble w/ parking and she had my chip and number. I got it on maybe 3 minutes before the start and Paulie, the race director, was yelling at me to get to the start and I got mad at him and he told me not to bark at him so I had to settle him down w/ a pat on the arm. Race started and we took off. I wanted to run fast. The race was pretty fast, a couple little uphills and lots of downhill. I did okay, sub 8:00 minute pace so not bad but no PR today.

655 out of 2999 overall
15 out of 117 filly
24:32 for 3.1 miles
7:54 minutes per mile

Went to Joshua Tree after the race and had french toast, a mimosa and FREE beer! It was a good time! Made it home around 3pm. I was going to run home but not after all the food and drink. Took the T. Talked to my Mom, she's on her way home from my brother's in Michigan and she's coming to help me move on Friday, and my Dad, he was watching the North Carolina game. The selection show is on right now. Another year of no Syracuse. How can my March get ruined again?? What will I do w/ myself? Root for Kansas State? Maybe. Showered up and packed some stuff to take it over to the new apt. I liked it a little better this time. Found where the washers and dryers are, just a couple doors down from me and they have front-loaders!!!! I HATE top-loaders!!!!!! and I stopped in the City Convenience right next door, it's only open until 11pm but it has Diet Coke, not good candy, but it also has alcohol! Yay!! I saw some pretty good wines, and beer. Was maybe going to go back out tonight but I'm tired and maybe could get more work done. Plus I don't want to be hungover tomorrow. I don't have much time left to get my presentation done for Wed. and I have to run 12 miles tomorrow.

Will have a quiet night instead.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day
