i didn't have any pictures of my craft room
i spent an hour cleaning off the desk
picasa album
hard to believe this is clean huh.
i also wondered if it counted as cleaning if i moved stuff from one desk to the other.

run
I ran a 5k today
about 31 min. i started late so many people. it took me about 30 seconds to cross the start line (I thin it was actually 31:24 but i said about 31 because of not starting right). i was so mad i didn't have a watch.
it was so hilly
i hit 2 miles at 20 min
my shins killed me.
it was entirely on roads
so it was the first i ran on roads and the first i ran on hills since the surgery. actually since i lived at deauville park
I beat haley by over a minute
i didn't walk at all.
i didn't push myself or sprint at the end. i feared messing up my knee.
this 8 yr old or so sprinted by me at the end. she had someone there cheering for her.
pb wouldn't go to cheer for me.
i finished and went back to before the finish and cheered for haley.

I had a stmapin' up party tonight. It went long. It was fun. We had chicken salad first. Dave made the chicken. it was very good.
My craft room is too messy. i almost can't work at all under these conditions.
I have been busy this week so far. I didn't even bring my work computer home the past 3 days!

i don't understand how i can use an ice pack. go for a run and totally misplace the ice back.
today i stretched and forgot to stretch my groin. well then after 6 laps my groin hurt and i had to limp . shows ya how stretching helps
my knee hurts today because i did the body pump class and i think i went down to low on those squats or something and we did so many of them.

today i ran must faster early on but still only ran 30 seconds faster than yesterday (for 2 miles)
but now that i analyze it last time i wote stuff down every so often and still had the timer running. so yesterday was probably better. sigh
dave made fun of how i write what i did down. he said can't you just do # of laps and overall time. nope. i need to improve all my splits. sheesh.

today
i took a 20 min walk during work (2pm)
went to the gym around 3:45 and was done walking to the car after at 5:15 so i got probably an hr and 15 of weights
then i got home and we went to the track. 2.5 miles in 30 m in. the track was rough because i had upped all my weights at the gym so i couldn't open my stride as much as i want. like i ran an 800 in 5 min instead of 4 min
i did an 800, 1200, 200 walking, 600, 200 (walking), 600, 200 (walking), then cooldown. = 10 laps

instead of buying a wedding card timmy bought a smypathy card for the wedding that we went to yesterday.
and i let dave pick the amount we were going to give.
he gave something that ended in 26 cents. i laughed so hard. i fell over. i said that was something timmy would do.
then timmy said that his was ending in 64 cents.
oh man

shoes
i wore my new shoes today . well one of the pairs.
they are pointy.
i felt like a witch.
but the heels were comfortable. they were bigger than i normally buy but actually the size my foot measures. they have ankle straps so then i don't flop around
i think they were a 4" heel
so now tomorrow it's back to my flats but at least i got to be tall for a day.

i try so hard
i try so hard to count. i really do. i just can't seem to do it. just like in cross country when we did those fartlick (sp) things where you run, walk, and jog and repeat. and i could do the 1 min of this 2 of that 3 of that but i couldn't tell you how many sets of those 3 things i did. i never could.
today we were at the track 30 min. counting walking to and from the car and taking 3 min to stretch
i really didn't know if i did 7 8 9 or 10 laps
we decided it wasn't 7
and it wasn't 10
i ran a 400. stretched
ran a 400
walked 100
run 100
a laaop of stuff (i can't even remember that)
then i started running a mile at 16:02
26:40 i finished running said mile (that's 4 laps there and i ran straight through so that i could count. the first 2 laps were at 5 min 1 second so it looks like my pace slowed)
then walked the last half lap and to the car and that took almost 4 min.
so 14 min = 4.5 laps
how many laps were there in 13 min (stretching was 3 min). i ran faster at the beginning i learned when i walk between things and walk 100 m that i do that in 1 min so if i walked it all i'm on pace for a 16 min mile.
first lap was liek 2 min
then i stretched
then 2 min 10 seconds for the next 400
so now i have 6.5 laps accounting for and 9 min left.
i'm guessing i did 9 lap. who knows though
i listened to the ipod today. the arm band fits now. i guess i got a fat enough arm now.
today i ran a 200 somewhere in there and i did that in 53 seconds. so that's pretty good. faster than half my 400 time but slower than double my 100 time.
it was raining today and 50 degrees.

progress pictures
i took progress pictures (but don't post them)
i showed them to dave. he said my ribs make it look like i have a 6 pack.
stupid poking out ribs are so annoying.
i took measurements and when i flex my bicep my measurement 10.75 instead of 10 in resting. but i did the measuring myself with my other arm so i'm not sure how exact that is.
the progress pictures actually make me feel less like i'm making progress.

no gym for me today. it's late already.
i think i will read and use the exercise bike and then i'll get out my work computer to do a few things. I didn't get everything done that I wanted to today.
The stampin' up party went alright. I think 2o f 5 that were here are ordering. 2 people cancelled at the last minute. 3 or 4 people who didn't come are ordering.

i have 2 canvas bags and 3 small boxes to go through of papers and junk that i accumulated.
i found this one sheet of my exercises but don't know the date
i think last summer

35 min total
6 min walk
1 min 6.0 mph
6 min walk
1 mn 6.0 mph
6 min walk
1 min
5 min walk
2 min
3 min walk
rest was cooldown 3mph or something
i remember when i would try to use the treadmill there my knee couldn't handle more than a min or 2 of running so i tried breaking it up to get more cardio in. and i think on the "walking" i would read a book.

today
today we went to north park and walked the loop around the lake. i thought it was a 3 mile loop. but it was a 5 mile loop. took an horu and 53 min. the first 3 miles we did in 20-21 min each but then slowed up. it was hot. or got hot. i was proud of dave though.
then we went to cheesecake factory at ross park mall.
then i came home and finished pumping up my athletic ball i forget the official name.
then i mowed and did some yard work. an hour and 20 min worth.
the day flew by.

tonight
yardwork sucks and takes too much time
i was going to mow the back half of the yard to make it even. 2 nights ago i mowed the front half
instead we aerated the dirt in the patches without grass. dug out patches of rock. found a patch that had dry cement and when we watered to make the dirt easier to work with it was hardening up. it was heavy and not fun. we filled big holes with top soil but not them all because our 2 bags of soil weren't enough. then we put grass seed down, and then this stuff that makes it grow better/faster. i added more dirt around the plant we planted. we added mulch to that entire area. then i put mulch around our one tree. do you know the fabric is still around the tree? you can see it. i thought you get rid of the fabric when you plant stuff. guess i was wrong. even though i added mulch to the tree our neighbors (206) still have much higher mulch beds. i'm pretty sure this took from 6:30 until now.
guess we have to save mowing for another night.
i'm filthy.

painting
spent 3 hours or maybe 2.5 hours today painting.
i got the first coat on the other 2 walls and then the 2nd coat on the 2 walls i painted last night.
pb came and helped at one point. only the one part. and i think it's all messed up. there are distinct lines where the roller went because he didnt go over it in multiple ways.

i was told today that i can meet my deadline; i just can't sleep until may 6.

shopping
ann taylor... i had a coupon that i forgot to use last time. 20% off. so i went tonight. the lady even remembered me from last time and remembered what i bought. was talking to me while i was checking out and i didn't pay attention to the total. even when i signed the thing on the screen i thought that it was probably wrong since i didn't pay attention and then i thought how i'm always pessimistic so it probably was ok. well i did not get the 20% off. i didn't get any discount. ugh.

update: Kelly's Wedding, Dresses
i danced to 1 song on because they forced all married couples. then about halfway through my knee did not like the pounding/movement in the heels i wore. so my knee hurt the rest of the night
dave was willing to stay at that wedding longer than any wedding it seems. i actually was the one that said to leave (at 10something) because i wanted to get home and ice my knee. but i got home and never iced it.
the mother of the bride was trying to get everyone to dance to this sq dance. i said i had knee surgery 2 months ago and she left me alone. i would be dead if i did that.
today is orthodox easter. we call it russian easter. to help with my super busyness. i canceled my one plans today with coworkers even though i've been waiting for the start of people to hang out outside of work.
so my dress was too big yesterday and i was mad. after i got home i tried on all my dresses. the one that fits (the only one that fits right) is from 10th grade. all the rest are way too big around the waist. i have a wedding to go to in a month so i may be wearing an old dress instead of the new one. unless i can talk my mom into altering a dress or 2 for me. she did comment that they'll fit later. i don't know how my waist got small since it was before i really started working out. i was just doing different knee exercises. i keep running out of time so i don't do them ALL and i'm not sure which exercise even helps make my waist small.
maybe i should buy a sewing machine myself. i sewed in 8th grade and then that summer, i sewed some of my own stuff. but i forget how to do stuff now since it's been so long
some creepy guy sat next to me at the wedding. we had 2 empty seats and this guy was a helper to the DJ. he kept talking and what he said was creepy. a coworker was also the photographer for the wedding. i wish i would have known him when we had ours because he's good and cheap (cheap because he doesn't advertise much or anything so he doesn't have those costs.
yesterday morning we also surprised my mom for her birthday. timmy came home for a week. then we went to lunch right at 11 to texas roadhouse.

some creepy guy sat next to me at the wedding. we had 2 empty seats and this guy was a helper to the DJ. he kept talking and what he said was creepy. a coworker was also the photographer for the wedding. i wish i would have known him when we had ours because he's good and cheap (cheap because he doesn't advertise much or anything so he doesn't have those costs.
yesterday morning we also surprised my mom for her birthday. timmy came home for a week. then we went to lunch right at 11 to texas roadhouse.

i spent an hour and 50 minutes at the gym today
i spent 2 hours at the beginning of work today not getting any work done because i was mad
now i stayed up too late
and i forgot to post that post earlier. and i forgot to finish typing it.
i spent 2 hours making a wedding card for a coworker from our entire group. i couldn't come up with a design that didn't suck.
the first card i made opened backwards. oops. i had to disassmble it and fix it.

i just made 2 scrapbook pages of my different weight graphs.
with lots of journaling
not all graphs. only 5 of them.
1 of which is my monthly weight average starting December 2001 (some months only had 1 weight early on).
i had to print them small. i have some in a book so that one is under the other so i could print them bigger. i should take pictures. i cant think of anyone else who would ever scrapbook a weight graph.
i do know a few people who keep weight graphs.

rooms
we just moved all the furniture out of our spare room
we're going to paint
then move dave's office into the room
and put the spare bedroom furniture into his office.
the lighting is better in the spare room.
i'm mad that his office didn't have a ceiling light though. now we need some form of a lamp in the spare room.
i still have to get junk out of the spare room closet.
my craft room is a death trap. i've been scrapbooking and it's awful.

sleep
i stayed up too late.
i'm still scrapbooking
i didn't even do that many pages tonight. i did sort through some pictures and look up certain dates.
previously i had said that typed journaling is better. but then it's so hard to print it all at the right size. so i have been hand writing all my journaling. so at least it's done.
i still have 2 scrapbooks that i gave dave for gifts and all the journaling in them isn't done... oops.

i seem to have weird dreams every night
last night in my dream i went to the doctors as follow up to my 1 knee and then he sees my good knee and says i need surgery.

lots of stuff
today was a busy day at work.
i got invited to some training. 500 people in all of westinghouse (counting in europe) got invited. i have to go april 22 so now my dinner plans won't work.
we bought paint tonight to paint dave's office. i have a feeling that he wants to paint this weekend even though there is a lot of other stuff that should be done first.
i went to the gym today and only worked out for an hour and 20 min because i had to hurry. very few people were there because it's like a fake friday since no work tomorrow.
i have to do so much work this weekend.
i've been getting comments from numerous people (who aren't my manager) that i'm working too much.
yesterday i made the coolest graph ever. i'll upload it later when i'm on my laptop and then link it. timmy refuses to look at it.
i did tae bo yesterday. it was hard work. my knee couldn't keep up and some of the jumping things i wouldn't do. it's too much pounding.
i still have to do more cardio tonight since i had to cut my workout short.
i didn't like my chicken tacos at on the border. they were too blah. i asked for the spicy sauce on the side. that's probably why. i put some on but it wasn't the same. i would dip my fork into the sauce and then scoop rice though.
i was mad i asked for a side of queso and the side cup i got was less than half full and it cost me a buck.

Steps
Sunday Dave and I built steps. I forgot to post about it. I don't want to change the date on the entry because you might not go down as far.
I'll have pictures posted soon and include a link.
We bought the wood a few weeks ago at Lowes. We didn't stain or seal the main wood. We talked to the people at the store and we have 5 years worth out of them w/o stain based on the finish on these premade things. we only need 1 year. we have 2 2x4s and we put stuff on them so the weather won't ruin them.
so we were doing such a good job. pb decides he'd like to call his dad and tell him. just as his dad answers, i broke a drill bit.
then a few minutes later i broke the other drill bit. these drill bits are the cheapest ones that walmart sales because we bought the drill in college and we didn't have money then.
I got the bit out of one of the holes but couldn't out of the other. it doesn't stick out though. but perhaps if a bare foot went on it just wrong, your foot could feel part of the bit.
we tested it out and if pb stands in the middle and i also stand in the middle of a step, it doesn't break so i think we're in good shape.
so i did all this fine, but then after we were done, i went to pick up the chair and broke a nail. it's a folding chair (for inside) and it had sunk into the ground a few inches. pb got tuckered out so i brought him a chair while I put the steps (horizontal slats) on the rest of it.
i'm mad the 2nd board is off center by a quarter of an inch. i must have bumped it before putting it on. i then put the 3rd step off by an 1/8 to try to make it blend.
it took us roughly 2.5 hours to make the steps.
we had some trouble getting in all the screws because the drill would end up stripping the head. we couldn't find a good bit. tried about 3. the screws were labeled with which bit # to use but our bits are too cheap to be labeled.

dreams
every single day i've had weird dreams in the past week.
Last night Dave and I bought a house. Well it was like a townhouse but all on one floor. and I kept getting mad that there wasn't a basement, then we discovered the basement entrance in the kitchen floor. All of the townhomes shared the same basement so you could spy on your neighbors areas. Then there was an underground tunnel to the other sets of townhouses.
The layout of the house was weird. Also right before we bought a house we had rented 1 for a few months. The layout was the same but in the one we bought there were additional walls up instead of things being open. I remember commenting that now you need more TVs because you can't watch your 1 TV from multiple rooms.

dreams
i had a weird and crazy dream again.
it involved work and having to be downtown and not remembering until i happened to get a phone call from someone at work asking if they could meet me during dinner.
and then it took me all day to get downtown. for some reason i couldn't drive and others had to give me a ride. then dave was there and was getting mad at me because i was walking too fast to get to all these classes/seminars that i was missing.
there were all these "assignments" that i missed because i missed everything for the day.

dream
I had an awful dream last night. i was working at Pizza Hut. I had to train 2 people how to do the dough in the morning. They were awful also the nice step by step sign was no longer up so i couldn't point them to that. Nothing was working out right. I woke up a few times and tried to get out of the dream but then i'd go back to sleep and i'd be back at Pizza Hut.

can't win
recently i've been wondering why i havent' run and stuff for about 5 years instead of only 2. since my knee has only been hurting me for 2
well yesterday and today i realized. it's because of my plantar fasciitis. it's back in full swing again now that my knee isn't bad i've been trying to do more.
i can't win.
my foot is all swollen.
i can suck up the pain a lot more than i could with the knee pain.
