    Is there a Flickr group for people reenacting their own Threadless shirts? Because Snookums needs to be in it. http://twitpic.com/2a6j17


    @knitdra Yep, the whole cake board was iced like a picnic tablecloth! Total sugar explosion. 🙂

    Finally got to see my dad’s new house. It’s amazing. Like a B&B!


    @Ascasewwen Spike was awesome in season 2+3 (and part of 4). If you want to keep him as Bowie, I advise you to stop there. 🙁


    View from the porch of the lake house. The serenity is overpowering. http://twitpic.com/2a181x


    I got a present for @tytana_! http://twitpic.com/2a1zfr


    Discovered the store in Syracuse sells 750ml cans of Fosters. Ha! No, we didn’t buy any. http://twitpic.com/2a20n0


    @DianneKing Nah. I’ve tried e-readers but I prefer paper books. It’s my indulgence. 🙂


    @davez1000 I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in Australia. Only seems to exist for the foreign market. Definitely not the best!


    OMG. My Dad is now on Twitter: @campcommander1.


    @kcm74 You have no idea. 🙂


    Preparing for Snook’s birthday party. My Dad got him a “Mini Bomb.” (Seriously. Out-of-state fireworks FTW.) http://twitpic.com/2a4p7n


  • RunningBlog: Week 30

    Saturday’s race wiped me out a bit more than I expected, so my runs this week were rather slow and laboured. I was sore! Tuesday the Snook and I went for a run on country roads near my Aunt Deb’s house, but it was so hot and humid that we gave up halfway and finished the run on a treadmill in her basement. Thursday (today) was less humid, but I’m still feeling quite a lot of soreness in my lower back. My right foot has started to ache again too. I did my four miles, but it was awfully slow. The Snook joined my brother Joey on bicycles and they lapped me again and again.

    July 25: 5.04 RACE
    July 25: 3.22km run
    July 27: 6.4km run
    July 29: 6.72km run
    Total this week: 21.38km (13.36mi)
    Total in 2010: 566.74km (354.2mi)

    To meet my goal of running 1000km in 2010, I should be at 576km. I’m only 10km behind pace!

    Hooray! Massive thanks to @kunaal84 for getting Joss Whedon tickets for us. 🙂


    Phew! Thought the rental car stereo bricked my iPhone, but a hard reset seems to have fixed it.

    @carbocommander Is that CarboCode? Because it made no sense.


    My favorite restaurant has wi-fi! http://twitpic.com/29fa4g


    My love of Amish cooking is being sorely tested by the kid at the next table wearing the Creation Museum t-shirt. Ahh, Middlebury.


    Storm came through again! Lots of rain. http://twitpic.com/29j1rc

    Today the Snook and I hit Old Navy. Hard. Good thing we brought an extra suitcase! Now all cosy in Uncle Ron’s guest room / man cave.


    The red pants were $8 on sale. He got them because, yes, he’s actively TRYING to dress like Sheldon Cooper now. http://twitpic.com/294zdi


    Nostalgic trip through the old haunts today. Visited my old high school, the grocery store I worked at, our old house in Wolcottville…


    You can really smell the serenity out here. Gorgeous day. http://twitpic.com/297yan

    W00t! Finished 6th out of 16 in my age group! Top 50%!! http://timetorun.net/Results/2010/Elkhart%20County%20Parade%205000/agegroup.htm


    Neglected to put sunscreen on my legs. I look like I’m wearing red socks. Oops.


    @imdominating @UrbanGmaChic @carbolicious GAHHHH! And he’s even wearing a Pacey shirt! So awesome.


  • RunningBlog: Elkhart Road Race 5K Results

    I think this will go down as the HOTTEST race I’ve ever run. The storms that went through over the weekend lowered the humidity, but it was still a very sunny day (probably mid-80s). Nevertheless, I am thrilled to report that I successfully met my goal of finishing within 35 minutes with no walking. The Snook made a valiant effort to catch me in the last half-mile but I outlasted him. Mom also finished strongly near her goal time of 40 minutes. The official results are here. And hey! I actually finished in the top 50% of my age group! That’s a first. 🙂

    Heading to the fairgrounds for the Elkhart County Fair 5K Road Race!


    On the bus to the starting line! Feeling keyed up. http://twitpic.com/28lkfs 90% of the field looks to be high school track stars. EEP!


    Finished! Snook and I both met our 35min goal! SO HOT. Mom did 40min, and Joey finished 3rd in kids race!


    Hahahaha… Snook just won a door prize! 2 trackside seats to the country concert at the Fair Wednesday night!
