Weekend in Review

What a weekend! It's tiring having a full house but I'm a little lonely now that everyone has gone home. In between the entertaining and eating I was able to get a 7 mile run done on Saturday morning before all the troops woke after their crazy night of debauchery. It wasn't super early seeing as I stayed up later to catch up on my DVR and then my intoxicated sister thought it would be fun to jump on us at 2:30 a.m. Friday night it snowed 3-4 inches and while the sidewalks were a slippery mess the lakefront trail had actually been plowed and was mostly clear. It was freezing and my shins started to ache a few miles into the run but it felt good to get it done.

Yesterday before everyone left we all went to Slumdog Millionaire. We got there late and had to sit unbelievably close to the screen but if you haven't seen this movie - go! It is an incredible story and uniquely shot.

Ooh...I still have yet to see that movie! Pathetic, I know. Anyway, good job in braving the cold and getting that 7-miler in!

Loved Slumdog Millionaire! I saw it on Christmas and I'm so glad my brother recommended it. (If it was up to me, I would have seen Twilight again - haha)

It was also the only Oscar-nominated film I've seen so I was really happy that they cleaned up last night!

I hate that lonely quiet feeling after guests leave, even if I crave it sometimes amidst the madness!

I haven't seen that movie either but I really want to. I've heard so many good things about it. Nice job on the 7.

When I've been home alone and get that "lonely" feelin', I turn our tv to Radio Margaritaville (24 hr Jimmy Buffett). Turn it up loud. Insert cold beer into digestive system. There. All better.
