The Ghoulie's: We Are Doing What We Are Loving December Challenge (Page 32)

kcarroll - 2009-12-11 8:01 AM Hi Ann.  What do you have on tap for today?

I am working until 10 this morning, then I'm off to take the Microsoft test I've been studying for forever. I'm not the best test taker so I hope I pass. Then I'm doing a bit of Christmas shopping while I'm out. And the best part of my day is I am going to dinner with 2 of my favorite people in the whole world. I haven't seen them forever so I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I may also end up at the doctor's office with my son. He has a sore throat and the white blotches on the back of his throat. I told him and my husband last night that he should stay home from school today. My husband is going to call this morning to get him an appt. Because of my test my husband is going to take him, but I will meet them there if I can.

Then tomorrow is a trip to the pool, and run some missed miles from the week. When I go home I'll bake some cookies with the kids. Then tomorrow afternoon we are expecting about 11 kids at our house, it's the night we volunteer to take all the kids so the parents can do their holiday stuff. We are taking the kids to a Christmas hayride. A family from church puts on a hayride every year where you ride and along the way you stop and talk to Mary and Joseph on their way to Bethlehem, you meet some angels, wisemen, and other groups along the way. Then we'll come home and play like maniacs.

Sunday is a 9-10 mile run in the morning and then in the afternoon we are going down to MD to see my incredibly pregnant sister and her family.

Monday will be here waaaaaaayyyyyyyy too soon!

What do you have going on?

Wow, busy weekend ahead for you.  Have a great time tonight with your friends!  The hayride sounds like lots of fun, but 11 kids????  You are now Saint Ann!   I'm jealous that you have a 9-10 miler!  I'm still re-habbing the knee, but am hoping to try some easy runs next week on the treadmill.  I'm signed up for a half M in February in Ft Lauderdale and need to start training.  I'm going to have a semi-slow weekend.  I'm planning to swim, either tonight or tomorrow morning.  Going to a friends for a casual dinner tomorrow night.  Looking forward to hanging out with some folks I haven't seen in a while.  Only things planned on Sunday are another swim and a holiday open house.  I may try to get some shopping done....but if it stays this cold I will probably just hang inside next to the fire with some hot chocolate.

Good luck on the test today!  I'm available (and I bet Neal is too) to taste test any new cookie recipes you might be trying out.

Yes, hello Katie. We've missed you.

kcarroll - 2009-12-10 6:53 PM Evening everyone!  I had a tough swim this morning.  It was my masters group and after 1000 yds of stroke and kick we had to do 9 x 100 at 2:30/2:20/2:10 for each 300.  Needless to say, my slow swimming self could not keep up. In fact, I thought I was going to toss my cookies at one point.  I'd never try to re-write my life, but boy do I wish I'd learned to swim as a kid.
