<p>Barely slept at all last night. If i was not so busy today at work i may actually have considered calling in sick for the first time ever. LOL. It is freezing cold out. Fun times. Already dreading my long run tomorrow. </p>

<p>Morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorry about the lack of sleep Meri.  I am back into a cycle of great sleep.  For me, it runs in cycles.  I just wish I knew when the next few days of ugly sleeping were headed my way.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>It was all Zoe's fault! As soon as I fell asleep around 9:15, she hurled herself ontop of me (i was sleeping on my side!!) and went back to sleep. And this is pretty much how the entire night went. Obviously something is bothering her. I hate giving her meds, but will probably give her some motrin before bed tonight. She talks so much, I just wish she would tell me what is bothering her </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Glad you're sleep cycle is spot on, Todd.</p>
<p>Any prediction for tomorrow's game? <span><img alt="icon_bounce.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_bounce.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Meri,</p>
<p>Sorry you're tired and zoe's not feeling well.</p>
<p>(I didn't sleep well either~~~> went to bed at 8, due to my headcold and exhaustion; woke at 2, 3, 4...finally up at 5, since I was awake anyways.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>eric,</p>
<p>I always have to remind myself that, in the dead of winter, kids in your area are still doing outdoor sports other than skiing and hockey. <snort></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>no plodding or impact-type workout today.....my foot is killing me...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>now it is not the bottom of the PF, but seems to be radiating across the top of the foot.</p>
<p>WTF? I don't want to be working on a stress fracture!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My goals today are to do domestic chores, work on report cards [OY!], possibly snowshoe if the foot allows it, and to not get any more grumpy than I already am, <span style="display:none;"> </span></p>
<p><em>CTFU, Karen!</em></p>

<p>This evening we have my staff's winter party at a local Italian restaurant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DH is a curmudgeon and social-phobic, so he's grumpy about attending with me.</p>
<p>I would like to attend, but may pass on the drinking and bingeing since I'm actually sick enough to stay home, <span style="display:none;"><span><span><span></span><img alt="mad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/mad.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span><img alt="sad.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/sad.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span> </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><I'll call this one on the fly, and see how I feel later today></p>

 

[altoids]

<p>'morning </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We finally hit the negative temps this morning.  Yikes.  </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We're going to be going to Pittsburgh later today to go see a Penguins game!  <img alt="icon_cheers.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheers.gif"></p>

<p>'toids,</p>
<p>Have fun!</p>
<p>be sure to give Sid-the-Kid an "atta boy" ass slap for me </p>

 

[wherestheportojohn]

<p>speaking of sports:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>the Badger mens [duh, there isn't a womens team] wrestlers beat Nebraska in a home dual last night...WOOT!</p>
<p>Yeah, I kinda like wrestling. <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>and mens' hockey beat Minnesota-Mankato in the first home game of the weekend series</p>
<p>Yup, I'm a hockey fool too <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> In other news:</p>
<p>I'm pondering the purchase of a Samsung 46" LN46C550 46"1080p LCD HDTV<span style="display:none;"> </span> from Best Buy....as a b-day gifty to me, and a reward to us for deciding to retire. <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh heck!  I'll need to get a lovely black table or stand too...tee-hee... <span><img alt="rolleyes.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>A huge-ass TV is required for hockey fanz!</p>

 

[ToddEP]

<p>Tomorrow's game will be close.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am hoping the Pack pulls out a win.</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>as an owner of a huge ass tv, yes!!!! LOL. (I think our big one is 52inches). We have a Vizio in the guest room (34?) and it is by far the nicest of the three tvs we have in the house. If you belong to Costco, check them out too.</p>

 

[Hanging Jury]

<p>I have Sony Bravia 46" LCD and endorse the purchase of a big tv!  Go for it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We just watched "Grown Ups" on our tv, and are now getting ready to head out to DS's basketball game.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Good morning/afternoon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got up at 5:00 this morning to do a 20 mile group run at Riverside Park in Roswell at 6am.  Temps in the 30's and it was a cold run but other than that not too bad.  Finished right at 4 hours. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a good thing I run with a group on Saturdays, because I would never have crawled out of my nice warm bed with the dog and cat lying beside me otherwise.  And probably would never have gotten the 20 miler in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Got home, took a shower and then dressed for work (1pm to 10pm) tonight.</p>

 

[merigayle]

<p>Home from work. Hoping Zoe will nap soon so I can run out to Kohls and Walgreens. It is not looking hopeful (the nap part).</p>

 

[wherestheportojohn]

<p>Woo!</p>
<p>No time to shop for TVs today; instead, I went 'shoeing with sis at the farm in almost perfect conditions:</p>
<p>dusting of new powder [would have liked more], bright sunshine, slight northerly wind, air temp of 12, windchill of 2.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also managed a pitifully slow 4 miles on the TM this morn.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>*meh*, what's a little foot pain <span><img alt="cwm10.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cwm10.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></em></p>

<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>meri,</p>
<p>what are you looking for at Kohls....the store with the perpetual sales...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Reb,</p>
<p>Well done on the long run. Hokey smokes!</p>

<p>I just wanted some new work clothes, I got a good selection I also got some clearance stuff for Zoe, some for now, some for next year. I also went to TJ Maxx and got her some AMAZING deals on kid's books and some clearance clothes and got me a new kitchen aid peeler for $2 I also saved $30+ at Walgreens with my coupons. Whew! And Zoe is still napping </p>
