Day 142, 223 To Go

May 22, 2013

Today was a long day.  I worked late and Honey wasn't feeling good.  The babies were cranky and it was almost impossible to get my work done, which is why I worked late.

That may be a lie.  I don't remember, but that is kind of a normal day in my house.  The work part is almost definitely true.  Almost every day is like that.  The baby part is probably true.  They spend their day in the other room, banging on the walls, screaming, crying, laughing and generally being babies.  Most of the time, I can ignore it.  When I am on a conference call, occasionally it makes for interesting calls.  I'm sure people can hear them, but most of the time, they don't say anything.  They probably think we beat our children.  I suppose as long as they don't tell HR, I'm ok with it.

I finally received a new pair of running shoes (maybe it was today...who knows...but I did get them this week).  I recently spent $100 on my other pair, and about a week later, I got an email for the same shoe (with velcro instead of laces) for just $39.  So with shipping, it was about $45!  Half!  So of course I bought a pair.  According to Honey, I had to because it was such a good sale that I would be saving money.

I didn't really attempt to explain to her that if I didn't buy them, I would be saving more.  Instead, I just took her advice and bought a pair.

They feel similar except that they are a bit tighter.  I barely need the velcro strap.  I figure they will loosen up.  I'll wear them all week to break them in nice.

Honey was absent today.  I don't know why.  I'm sure it was because she is a lazy bum, and you can tell her I said that.  Maybe that will encourage her to get back out there tomorrow.  Oh, wait...maybe she did come with me and she used her rollerblades.  I don't know...let's go with that!!

Run for Life!!
