Need help

So today I went to yet another funeral. The owner of the company's father passed away after just a week of knowing he had cancer. Over the past 2 years Daniel and I have lost a lot. This evening I was given the news that my Grandma Beth is sick. I ask for your prayers for her. She will need them over the course of this situation. Im not saying much because I have not been told personally. Val told me.
Tomorrow morning I need a good run so Val and i are going on the dreadmill at 6am. I am then meeting Kathy for weights. Im looking forward to venting my frustration and anger out.

what a week

So I cant believe its been a week since I last said anything here. It has been super crazy emotional at work. There were such highs and such lows. I am not going to say much because... well its work. I will say that everything turned out fantastic though. I learned a lot about myself and others this week and am better for it. I am t minus less than 2 weeks til St Martin so its time to get my game face on at the gym and nutition wise so I can relax while we are gone. This week (today and yesterday) i have already accumulated 12 miles and plan for many more later in the week. We had an ice cream party at work yesterday and my sweet tooth just cant get enough of that ice cream. Thank goodness i left it at work :) We had a lot of extras.

Best Chef

Daniel is the best chef ever!! Thank goodness or else we would starve.. anyways he grilled veal burgers, fish, and steak for dinner... mmm mmm mmmmm. It was a good end to my super long day of work. I just couldnt keep my eyes open today. On top of it being a monday at work, my storm door at work locked me out so I had to go to a neighbor to call my coworker for her to then call my super to get me into work. Never again will i leave that office without my phone! I was so lost! And then later in the day another homeowner's daughter forgot her key at home so she was locked out. She stayed with me until a parent could come by. Tomorrow is another super long day starting with bootcamp at 515am then a morning meeting at 9am and then off to work til 615. Afterwards I think ill run since I will go to bed early that night I might as well just give it all I have tomorrow night. But then again, who knows what could happen between now and then.

Not much in the peanut gallery

Not too much going on here. Just getting back into the swing of things. I think the most exciting thing has been harris teeter tripples this week. I have gotten quite a few good free deals of stuff that i love to eat but there havnt been any coupons recently kind of thing so i dont get it. Anyways, I have a 6 day work week, im on day 2 and the worst part is that its raining so most people dont come out at all. Anyways.. off to get a few things done before work and get some food in my belly.

yesterday and today....

Well yesterday was a total bust on fishing! We saw plenty of fish jumping out of the water but none were hungry apparently. We started the day at the beach (I ran to Val's place 3.4 miles away and met her there and we ran back to my place 3.4) then laid on the beach and decided to go to bengamins in the afternoon. Well.... of course we ate our heart out and felt miserable afterwards. I was like.. if i see any more food im going to bust! Our waiter was super awesome, prob the best that we have had in a long long time. Afterwards we headed to the outlet malls where i ended up getting some exercise apparel for a super good price. We then went back to the condo and watched Pure Country (super super good movie) and called it an early night (11pm).
Today I started off my day like I do most at the beach by running on the beach. I ran to Val's again and when I was almost there I saw all these people on the beach and I was like what the heck is going on! Well it turns out that there was a triathalon today! (i wish I would have known... i may have participated) Anyways, She was talking to this lady when I was running to her and all i thought was that they were not going to let her by. The lady ended up being a spectator so there was no hold up. We ran back totaling my milage for the week at over 30!! YEAH! I dropped val off at her place and came back to then help Daniel take his fishing stuff up from the beach. He ended up catching 3 whiting and then some really big thing that broke his line (and was totally upset about because it was so big) He said it made him feel like quitting. We went to the flea market where we got a belt each and then came back to head to the beach again until 4ish. I got ready to go out and hit up walgreens, cvs, dollar store, foodlion, and riteaid. Apparently in SC all the sales adds for Sunday start on Sat night after 6 so I did all my sunday shopping early, which now gives me more time to sleep in tomorrow.
Tomorrow I am getting up and doing some more running. I read in this magazine how this lady just really loves running and cant understand yoga. Running makes her calm and relax and puts her body insync and yoga only makes her mind wander... I read that to Daniel and told him thats how I felt about running and yoga. Anyways after my run tomorrow Randy and Jean should be here so we can go and fish with them. (I will be comical relief as I will not fish because it would cost me over 11 bucks for one day. ) Later tomorrow I will head home by myself to then work on Monday from 9am til 615, then a work meeting/get together til at least 10pm... it will be a long day.
Until next time............

beach again

So we are back at the beach for a long weekend or short week... however you want to look at it. Nothing too exciting except that we saw some dolphin super close to the coast today. It was amazing. It reminded me of the time I went to Edisto Island with my family like at least 10 years ago and we saw some super close.. it may have been 12 years plus. I guess time flies when you become an adult and have resposibility. Anyways... i think im a bit toasty but no sure knowledge yet. We have no plans for tonight but surly we will go do something... maybe get a cheeseburger!!!!!!! My fav! Daniel caught one Whiting today but that is it. The wind was so strong. I hope the next few days are better for him. We plan to go to the flea market on Saturday.

side note... it must have been a slow night at Kings Pizza or something because I swear I have never been hit on so obvious in my life before by 3 guys in a row. I mean I just looked like i got back from a day at the beach.... who knows

beach beach beach

So off to the beach tomorrow til Sunday. I am really hoping it goes better than the July trip. I was totally sick then. So I am super excited. I have so much to do tomorrow. First off I have the gym in the morning til about 7. Then I have to get home to pack to then get to the library, to the main office, then cvs to pick up some stuff, then to my office. In between there are more things I have to do too. Such is life... o yeah like get gas! Anyways, today was super crazy busy at work and tomorrow should be about the same. Im not complaining... Im very pleased and happy about it. Tonight Daniel's friend Lee is coming over for a movie so im going to bed eary!!

so much fun!

Yesterday was a very crazy busy day. It started off with a run and then a contract at work. After work I went over to Alex's parents house for dinner and cards. Alex's mom ended up making these cosmo's which were way too strong. We had to dilute it to make it drinkable. There must have been a misprint on the bottle. After eatting pizza we started playing cards. I have never been a big card player so I had to be taught how to play the game of spoons.
Well HOLY COW! Those Zolot's sure are brutal. Im surprised I have no battle scars. While trying to grab the spoons we torn the table cloth. Oppps.
Today was an ordinary Sunday. Nothing special except Daniel cooked dinner that was of course amazing! We had chicken, steak, and veggies...mmmmmmm. Thank goodness he knows what he is doing in the kitchen.

fingers crossed

So today was my "monday" but it was a very very busy day and went by super fast. I had a showing at 12 and by 1, I had an appt to do a contract on a home for the following day. So with it being my first purchase agreement with my new job, I had a lot to learn and the process took all day to get together. Normally it would be a sinch but the first one is always a doosie. Im excited to make a happy homeowner. Its is a joy I have missed for several months since I was laid off. The buyer is super nice and will be moving in by the end of the month! Yippie! Also at work we just started buildig 8 more homes that should be done by the end of November.

What a day!

So Alex and I have been meaning to get a longer run in for a while but with the weather so stinkin hot and work and it getting darker sooner... nothing has seemed to go our way... until today! It was such a great brisk morning and we ran 11.5 miles. Last time we ran that course we were just starting out training for our marathon and needless to say did not run ANY of the hills. Today we ran ALL of the hills and in a good time too. We did take a super quick snack break at mile 6 and then had to stop for water at mile 9 but besides that we were just trucking along. The best part is that my legs do not hurt one bit, not even my knees. I feel like I could go for another run but I think im going to pass on it today. I did however mow the grass, sell a washer and dryer, lay at the pool, go to olive garden with Alex's mom and grandad and do some housework. Im debating on taking an abs class at the gym today but I think I will just go on a walk with Valerie and Diane if they are avalible. I know that Daniel will be a the gym and wont be home til about 8 or so.
Sweet tea is currently begging for my affection... so I shall go.
