I'm very exhausted right now. My 13 miles in the blizzard, not blizzard, blizzard was very draining but I'll try my best while I wait for the last Grey's Anatomy episode to download from iTunes, why's it taking so long and how did I miss this episode, I hate having to buy it when it was online for free at some point.

Friday I had to go to a conference all day in Waltham. That meant I had to take the T to MIT as usual, then pick up the work van to drive out to Waltham. It wasn't so bad but I never drive so I hate it, especially when I have to drive something big just to transport me, and it had snowed some that morning. Conference was okay, food was great and I got to see some people I've met previously. I know I'm supposed to appreciate the networking thing, especially when I'm done w/ my program and need a real job, but I absolutely hate it and suck at it! Made it back to MIT around 6 and was checking email and planning a very boring, rest-up weekend when Jos called.

Uh oh! Can't say No to dinner at the sevens and beers at bhp. met her at sevens after quick going home to change and she was w/ val and val's roomies. had a fine dinner, turkey wrap w/ potato salad and 2 stellas. jos was staying w/ me to finish my beer and head to the atm, val and roomies were meeting us at bhp but on their way out val started talking to this guy and at some point introduced jos and i when he started telling me he had seen me earlier and wanted to talk to me, blah, blah, blah. we soon left, hit the atm then bhp. val and roomies were not there. turns out roomies went home and val ditched. never heard from her again. lucky us, this guy from the sevens comes to bother us, mostly me, at the bhp. he said and did lots of cheesy things, even calling his phone w/ my cell, asking me about my current boyfriend and then describing himself, asking what my roommates will do when i bring him home, etc. eventually we started talking to a seemingly harmless doctor on the other side of jos which pissed off 'my current boyfriend', yay! my plan worked, and he took off. doctor man talked to us the rest of the night, buying us beers, very bad! because jos had to run long in the morning. she left to catch the train and doctor man walked me home. i thought he was very harmless until he stole a kiss on the check. could have been worse i guess but i wasn't offering and he didn't ask. found out later jos lost atm card, t pass and didn't make the run. sorry! i don't want to be a bad influence, but she did ask me to go out :0) guess we should have left by 11, our original plan. got to talk to db when i got home and complain about my night. unfortunately i usually only remember bits and pieces of our conversations because i mostly talk to him when i've been drinking. that's not good.

had to get up on saturday morning for snowshoeing. i didn't sleep well friday night and woke up feeling kinda sick. wished i didn't have to get up but glad i did. good thing i had time to shower. kate picked me up in a zipcar, neither of us have cars and no one was going from boston. we went out to weston and met 5 other girls from TE and went snowshoeing. more snow would have been better but at least there was snow. it was a fun time and i was tired by the time i got home. i had so much laundry to do and i was so tired so i just did it right away when i got home so i wouldn't fall asleep. i was too tired to do multiple loads so i still have lots left to do. i love doing laundry but i hate having to go to the laundromat so it ends up piling up. hopefully my new apt. has laundry in it! after laundry i think i napped a little bit. i finally finished watching 'The Da Vinci Code' and 'Saw IV.' Both movies took me multiple sittings to get through for some reason. Not very good I guess. Then finally I had time to catch up on the latest season of Lost. I haven't been watching because I have track on Thurs. but I can catch it online. I don't want to like the show anymore but after watching all the latest episodes yesterday and today, I'm again hooked! Tara called last night at 10:30 to hang out w/ her and Chris. I hated saying No because of course I want to hang out w/ them but it was already kinda late and I wasn't ready to go out so it would have taken some effort. I declined and watched Lost until just after 1am when I couldn't stay awake any longer.

Slept good last night, until after 10am. Chatted w/ db for quite awhile until Tara called to go running. we had to do 13 miles, ugh! so we got all ready to go, i took cleo out real quick, called tara to say i was leaving to meet her, we meet in the middle, 3 miles to bu bridge, and she says it's snowing and stuff. i say no way! i was just outside and nothing. i look out the window and nothing. so we leave, i leave the house, and it's snowing and really windy like a blizzard. i run back in real quick to see if tara called to say it's too bad out but she hadn't so i just left her a message in case she did and took my phone. it was so crappy for the first mile or so but then it stopped snowing and cleared up. by the time we met each other we were too hot and the conditions were fine. i started to feel crappy sooner than usual today on the run. not sure why. snowshoeing yesterday, not enough energy? so it sucked! especially having to run over heartbreak hill. we are silly and run on the boston marathon course. so we're on our way back, maybe 2 miles to go and the blizzard starts again complete w/ thunder. we were trekking up heartbreak hill in the crazy snow, wind and thunder. we made it eventually and by the time we hit tara's apt. it had cleared up again. weirdest weather on a run, maybe not ever, that would probably go to some of my runs in kansas, but still weird.

chilled at tara's, literally, i started shaking because i was cold, so showered up at tara's, got all clean and made it over to s&s. since we had just burned about 1300 calories and only eaten maybe 300 so far, and it was about 5pm, we had big thoughts about eating lots of food. we tried. we had hummus for appetizer but didn't finish it. then i had scrambled eggs w/ toast, homefries, sausage, and fruit. i ate most of it and we hung around talking for awhile. long enough that on the way home i said i wasn't full anymore and tara said the same. i was kinda hungry again. never ate anything else when i got home, now it's 10:30 so what's the point? as we were driving down broadway in kendall sq. we hit some ice and lost control of the car. there was a red light ahead w/ 2 cars in front of us. we slide into the right lane, good thing no one was there, and somehow we eventually stopped right before hitting the car in front. it was so weird, like slow motion, just sitting there bracing for impact, not saying anything. good thing it turned out okay. close one.

so i got home about 8. finally talked to my mom to wish happy birthday. she got 2 calls from alzheimer's grandma, haha! then i finished watching Lost and now I have Grey's Anatomy if I can stay awake.
