Randomness


Okay, OKAY, I haven't posted in a while. Back-to-back business trips (which always, always suck) and then a week-long vacay with the fam for our Annual Disney Extravaganza have left me tired, sick, and hopelessly uninspired. So enjoy some random stuff while I pull myself back together:

---

There is a roller coaster at Sea World called the Kraken. This struck all of us as uproariously funny and we used it all the time in ways that often made no sense:
"Holy Kraken!"
"That guy's Kraken is showing!"
"Hold on to your Kraken!"

---

Room service at Disney World makes homemade chicken broth stuff for sick guests. This stuff saved my kid's life and my sanity on Disney Barf-o-Rama Day.

---

On the plane, I sat next to a relief worker returning from Haiti. Now I have an awful cold and I blame him and his third-world cooties. Does that make me a bad person?

---

My husband snores SO LOUDLY. I just cannot take it any more. I started sleeping with earplugs about 4 months ago because it hurts his feelings when I move to the guest room. But dear God, now I can hear him through the plugs. It is so loud that last night I still had to wear earplugs IN THE GUEST ROOM. I need a decibel-o-meter or whatever to measure the amazing sounds coming out of this man.

---

I don't care how sophisticated you think you are, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review show at Disney is one of the funniest things you will ever see. Go. Eat. Laugh.

---

The Runners World Smart Coach plan is a wonderful thing! Sunday's long run was 8 miles, with no ill effects on Monday. I could hardly believe it.

---

Every single day, my mother and my husband tattle to me about each other. One day soon they'll notice that I. Do. Not. Care.

---

A running buddy like the fabulous C. makes the miles go by very quickly!

---

The Polar Bear run (two races: 3 miles and 5 miles, and I signed up for BOTH) is on Saturday. Today is Wednesday and I have a bad cold. Worry, worry, worry...

---

I have the greatest dog ever: Sarge, that handsome devil in the photo above.

---

This week's epiphany: my kids are 10 and 14, wonderful gals with personalities, likes, dislikes and lives all their own. How did they get so big s0 fast?

---

I secretly resent the fact that my 14yo is a couple of inches taller than her mother.

---


I'm off to curl up with some NyQuil and a trashy novel. Fingers crossed that I'll make it to the Polar Bear run on Saturday!
