Movie Update, Dinner, 5K and Pictures

Isn't my baby brother just adorable? He is adopted into the family, but don't tell him that, it might hurt his feelings!

Well, I saw one request for it, so guess I should give some kind of update. Thankfully I got that run in cause I was then in a much better mood and frame of mind for going to the movie. Roomie got home about the same time J got there to go to the movie, so technically she could’ve gone too, but opted to stay home. J hadn’t seen the first one (we went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2) so I was explaining a bit of it to him, and I was laughing a lot at it because of references to the first one, so if you haven’t seen the first, I’d recommend seeing it before the second…it was quite enjoyable though. J even ate popcorn which I hadn’t thought he would due to the transfats (it’s funny knowing a guy that is watching that kind of stuff, he even insisted on organic turkey for Thanksgiving, I don’t go THAT far!!). After the movie we went to the place next door and had a beer…well, I had a beer, he opted for O’Douls…we chatted a bit, and it was after 11 when we left, but that’s OK. I’m tired today but we had good conversation and it was decided that we will go to dinner on Friday at Vesio’s, my favorite Italian restaurant, although it has been a bad luck streak for me and dates that go there, I’ve gone there a few times on first dates and nothing has come of it, although this time I guess it’s not really a first date, if anything I’d say our run on Saturday would be more the “first date”…and we’ll see anyway. I am just still on that not really caring about dating kind of thing so don’t really feel that excitement, we’ll see what happens though. He is doing the Reindeer Run 5K on Saturday, which I think I’m going to bandit. It’s $25 and the t-shirt is just a t-shirt so I don’t want to pay for it, but they do a toys for tots drive and I am planning on bringing a toy. Other thing is the race is packed so it’s not easy to get a good time anyway, so definitely don’t want to pay the big bucks for it!! (Plus it is put on by a local gym that is way overpriced already, I’m sure some of the proceeds go to toys for tots too, but you just never know!!) $25 is just too much for a 5K. Anyway, I did tell him that I wanted to run probably 10 on Saturday and that I thought about running down to the race site and then running the race, which would get me close to 10 miles…then figured I could bum a ride home and he did volunteer to drive me home, so if I can get out of bed soon enough for it, I might do that. Can always bum a ride home with my roommate too. This means hauling stuff for going out after as well, but suppose I could stash stuff in roomies car…

Anyway, doing a treadmill run most likely today, unless I decide to run after work instead of during lunch, I didn’t bring stuff for outside and it’s cold now…was 55 yesterday, looking at a high of around 23 today…yikes…I do need to run some errands after work too, so I’m thinking treadmill and then some strength again today is best option. I hate the mill though…

Here are a few pictures from turkey day...Max, mom and dad's dog, well, actually I call him my furry brother, was very diligent in making sure the turkey didn't go anywhere...I'm sure he was just hoping against hope it woudl fall off the counter for him though. I think if dogs could have telekinesis (sp) this dog would have that day!!

This would be my furry nephew Beaux and his mommy...he looks so sweet and innocent there...but dont' be fooled. He's a bit of a spaz most of the time.





Poor Max was so tired after the day and had to curl up for a nap on dad...actually was kind of funny, he was missing during lunch, mom went and found him in the bathroom, kind of hiding behind the toilet slightly on the scale, we decided he must've weighed himself, freaked out and decided he couldn't eat Thanksgiving dinner.




And here is me, today at work...you can see how hard I am working this morning right??
