Run, Lucy, Run

October 6th, 2007

Before I say anything else, head over to my friend Charlie’s blog to check out his latest Pick of the Week.  Although I am disappointed by the omission of this gem, it is still an excellent collection of some of the finest entertainment You Tube has to offer.

The remodel of our back room is almost done!  They are out there putting on the baseboards and window trim as I write this and expect to be completely done by Monday.  Hooray!  I will be sure to post some of the “after” pictures once everything is cleaned up.   Now we just need to figure out what the hell we’re putting in there.  Most likely the piano and a guest bed but my dream of a pool table and a bar still lingers.

No running stats to report this week as I keep forgetting to take my watch with me.  It’s probably a good thing for me to take a break from looking at it every five seconds actually.  The Mud Run is quickly approaching and although part of me is pretending that it’s not really happening, I also realize that I am in much better shape than I have been in a while.   I have been trying to do some long hills as there is a portion of this race called “Suicide Hill.”  Great.

Ashok has had quite a bit of excitement these past few weeks.  He turned one last week and we threw him a little party in a nearby park with lots of friends and their kids.  Here he is applauding his cake:

He also had some fun trying Indian food for the first time-specifically South Indian food, the food of my people.  He had some idli and some masala dosa and they both went down easily.

(I don’t know why that picture is so blue and funky.) I’m so happy he liked it.  Let’s hope he stays this open minded about food for a loooong time.  At least until I’m not responsible for feeding him anymore.  Then he can eat whatever the hell he wants.
