and that's why i don't say anything for nearly a month. it would be so handy if i had kids and i could blog about how i am hand sewing their matching halloween costumes or about their disgusting poop stories, but my arsenal of anecdotes only has stories of me. boring. but that is ok. here are some boring things that have happened since mexifest.
1) ran a 5k. and when i say "ran" i mean "very slowly jogged...in fact it was so slow that i probably could have walked it faster." and i beat my previous time. not by a whole lot, mind you, but 14 seconds is still an improvement. one day i hope to run a 5k in less time than it takes me to watch an episode of the office. i even won a prize. (no, not for slowest runner) everyone won a prize. i won a water bottle and a t-shirt. the t-shirt was a size small and i am not, but i put it on anyway. it fit about as well as a sausage casing fits a sausage: snugly.
2) survived parent teacher conferences. that is a major feat. i hate those things. and to make it worse, i had a cold. i made sure to blow my nose very loudly while conferencing with parents who bugged me. luckily, there were few. the pta made us a nice dinner, which i ate tons of and couldn't taste at all.
3) planned and then cancelled my first trip to new york city. it was everything i hoped it would be.
4) went to our local oktoberfest. turns out not all fests are created equal. it was lame. not enough lederhosen and too much snow. where were all the blond germans and their walking sticks?
5) bought a condo. just yesterday, i signed my life away. totally worth it though: they gave me a gift basket. AND the realtor took me to dinner. AND i got to leave school early. it was a pretty great day for a monday.

Congratulations on your new home! That is wonderful. And, if it means anything. I have kids and I don't blog for months and months on end. And funny stuff happens all the time but I'm just lazy that way. :)
hooray for the 5k. i've been talked into doing one in november, i am in big trouble.
i also survived pt conferences. teachers scare me. i know the kids won't be in too much trouble but i might get in trouble.
i want to go with you on your first trip to NY. i've never been there and it's one place i've always wanted to go.
Oktoberfest is about getting drunk, if you did that you would find it fascinating.
congrats on the gift basket and free meal. i love presents, too bad you have a monthly payment. hey, look at it as a tax write off.
I am bringing you a hug from Clayton on the 5th of November.
I can't wait to see the blue wall!
Love ya!
first of all, it's good to have you back. i finished the wittiness and good humor that is gina's blog.
so, you were gonna come to new york, eh? i hope that when you plan, and carry out, your next trip to ny, you will include me in your plans. because, i live there. well, not in the city, but close enough.
and yippee for buying a condo! i'm thinking josh and i will never own any such thing. so it's nice to know it's happening to other people.
and, if you ever need kids to blog about, you can borrow mine.
sausage? do you really need to refer to yourself as a sausage? I have NEVER run a race. HATE running.
Congrats on the condo purchase! When is the move in date?
dear geehnuh,
next time i run away, i'm coming to your place.
p.s. bless you for not blogging about poo. yours or anyone else's.
you completely crack me up
