Miscellaneous Monday
Yep, it's that time again:
- My 2008 goals are going quite well, if I do say so myself. We went to the little Lutheran church yesterday morning and it was very cute. Nate felt comfortable because it was so similar to a Catholic mass, and I was comfortable because it reminded me of my Lutheran grade school days. The pastor was a female [gasp!] and I really enjoyed her message. Plus the whole shindig [including communion] lasted only one hour. Not to mention that it started at 10:15 am so we still got to sleep in. It was definitely a great way to start the week. I'm so proud of us!
- I've also been running again. Here is my secret motivation: I spent hours, literally hours on I-tunes this weekend creating a new workout playlist. I even dusted off my old CDs from back in my Spain days. I forgot how much I love European techno [flame on if you want, but it makes you run faster. Seriously]. So with my new playlist I even ventured out into the cold, wet weather on Saturday and ran outside. This is not something I plan on doing regularly. Even though it was 40 degrees there were still plenty of ice/snow/water puddles to make my run especially pleasant. Frozen toes and a runny nose are definitely two musts for a great run, right? I've also sucked it up and hit the gym after work, even when I can think of a hundred reasons to go straight home. So while I'm not logging a ton of miles just yet it feels good to get off my lazy arse and get going on this running thing.
- Nate started the first of two part time jobs today! His hours are going to be pretty random but hey, it's a job. Meaning we'll be pulling in two incomes! He also officially accepted a second part time job at my hospital, in my department as a therapy aide. This means I get to boss him around even more when we work together. Good times for all:) Seriously though...this is very exciting for our household. But I'm a little worried I will lose my "dinner is on the table and the apartment has been cleaned" privileges now that my little chef is working. Maybe I need to rethink this whole thing....
- Guess who got called for Jury Duty? Even though I've only lived here for 6 months. Yep. How fun. Anyone have to endure this extremely boring sentence? I'm still trying to figure out if I'll get paid time off at work in addition to the generous $19/day from the city. I seriously hope so or I'll sabotage my chances of being a juror by faking hatred towards the poor or something. Besides, I'm sure my work is really stoked to find someone to cover my load on those two days.
- I really like seeing all of the new commenters around here! Even if I don't respond to the comments know that I love reading all of them and it's especially fun to see some newbies. Keep it up ladies!
- Fess up. Who watched the new American Gladiators yesterday and today? We were so excited about this show only to be let down by it's incredible cheesy scripted lines. I mean it's way worse than the original 80s version. But there are two awesomely bad Gladiators who deserve some credit:
