Saturday I spent four hours cleaning the house and doing laundry, all the while trying not to lose my mind tripping over dogs; filled out all my Christmas cards; ran to Target for gift wrapping supplies and toiletries; and got mad at myself for forgetting to pick up beer. Yes, beer. When did I become a beer drinker?
Sunday I wrapped gifts for three hours (impossible to do in the same room as the dogs, unless you are trying to go insane); ran to the grocery story; made banana bread (which NEVER turns out as good as Kari's); did some more cleaning and laundry; and packed.
What did Pippi do this weekend when she wasn't annoying the crap out of me?

Tomorrow is the big day...my brother and I turn THIRTY!
Apparently my brother is taking it pretty hard, which I just don't understand. He's married, owns his own house, and is doing pretty well for himself. I...have a dog? And yet, it really doesn't bother me. I just love my birthday. Bring on the cake! And the celebrations! It's just a freakin number. You can't make yourself any younger, so you might as well just go with it.
So anyway, I'm going to get back on track this week with running. I will I will I will! I've decided I need to work on my training plan again, balancing out running and cross-training better. Today is spinning. Wee!
After spin tonight I'm going to my friend's until tomorrow. She's got some crazy awesome surprise planned and I can't wait!
Thirty is going to be good. I can feel it in my bones.
Hope you have a great night tonight!!
ReplyDeleteYour weekend makes me feel tired. Can you come wrap my presents for me please?
ReplyDeleteAlso, half marathons don't run themselves. Chop chop on the training already. :)
Happy Early bday...mine's on thursday! we're december babies! I turn 29 :)
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday! Eat extra cake for me please!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I'm not completely looking forward to turning 30. But you're right, I should just look at it as another excuse to eat cake!
ReplyDeleteYour birthday is going to be glorious. I hope Pippi got you something awesome.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! My thirties have been way more awesome than twenties, and I hope the same for you! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I think you and I are on similar wavelengths, at least in terms of running. I did run, but it was mostly because I wanted to hang out with my friends. You were amazingly more productive than me, though. I suck at thinking of ideas, so I have no gifts to wrap yet. Slacker. Happy early birthday! 30 is just a number, and birthdays are always fun!
ReplyDeleteWooHoo! Happy Birthday fellow birthday girl! 30 is fabulous! of course it was light years ago for me but you're right: who cares?
ReplyDeleteAll the years following are fab as well. Enjoy!
Happy almost 30th birthday! I hope that Pippi decides to give you the birthday gift of no longer exploding poop. And your 30s will be awesome since you will build a Noodle Hugger empire!
ReplyDeleteMy 30s have been the best - you will love it! I remember turning 30 and assessing where I was at and being happy. Men seem to think the number is a big deal - my Dad always did. Terrible.
ReplyDeleteHave a great birthday!!! Sorry I am a slacker and didn't read this earlier.
