Wallpaper

I have good intentions of blogging more often but I just don't do it.  Sorry.  As it turns out, I sit at my computer all day working and when I get home I'll go for my run or head to the gym and I'll think about all the things I want to tell you (no idea who reads this).  My random thoughts on people driving in the neighborhood, the folks walking their 4 Greyhounds (!!!), thoughts on safety, strangers and running in the dark.  I have a fantastic story about a gym experience that contains the word "Roid-a-riffic" but it happened so long ago that is seems irrelevant.  But, at any rate, I get home and I'm tuckered out.  Eron and I will jump straight into making dinner, showering, perhaps running off to hockey or social outings or just hunkering down for the night to watch the shows we didn't have time to watch earlier and I just don't want to pull my computer out.  

I've been running.  I blew off my Thursday run last week because I stayed late at the office late and it was cold, rainy and dark when I got home and I just didn't want to pull on my running tights.  So there.  Instead, I ran on Friday... with a miserable headache and a not so happy stomach.  I really didn't want to go.  I was tired, wasn't feeling well and I slightly grumpy.  It happens.  But Eron was on a business call when I got home so I couldn't  sit and whine to him, so I sucked it up, changed, laced up my shoes and hit the pavement.  I fully anticipated walking most of the route but I was determined to no be down on myself about it.  At least I was getting out there and as it turns out, I ran the whole thing and PR-ed the mile.  I guess the cold and looming dark were good motivations.  I also realized that just because I don't want to doesn't mean that I can't. 

Eron and I had a fantastic date night on Friday, slept in a bit on Saturday and hit up the gym.  I'm still getting comfortable in there and I'm trying new things.  I think I finally decided what machines I need and want to do and the order in which I generally want to move, it's only a struggle when people are camping out on the machines I want and having their own little social hour.  I plan on posting what I'm doing later.

The rest of the weekend was dedicated to stripping wallpaper from the living room.  Granted, it was just a boarder but it was a good introduction to wallpaper removal.  Heaven knows we have enough of it in the house and it has all got to go.  Right now the focus is the living room.  We have a new couch being delivered in two weeks!!  I'm so excited about this.  I did manage to wash all the laundry, well, except for the pile on the bedroom floor, I just haven't bothered to fold it yet.  Oh well.
