This coming week is going to be really crazy. EVERYONE knew that. So when do they want to schedule interviews? Yep - this week. I asked them to wait two additional days, so that we can meet our deadlines, and then people would actually have time to concentrate on the interviews.... They just shrugged and ignored me. (Actually, I got a pretty hissy reply, but that's another story.)

Plus, they changed the interview committee. The people originally named made sense to me. But now it's all different. The result is that I'll be the only one there who understands the technical side of the job. (Although, I now hear that only two applicants have the required qualifications. Maybe the committee will opt to just flip a coin.)

This place USED to make sense to me. Now, it's just gotten.... strange.

Well,

I found about 20 houses to go drive by and as luck would have it, 4 of them are having open houses tomorrow

so - I'm off to do some drive by's (my oldest son advised me to 'not get caught' - lol)

I was thinking long run and core endurance today but my back is tight so it might be a medium run, core endurance and HOT TUB time. Lots of  errands to run and the house is FILTHY.

Biking tomorrow to take advantage of the sunshine!

Kristen, do you want to meet up at West Creek or something?  Other option for a closed loop but lots of hills is Petersburg Battlefield which is convenient for me but way out of your end of the world.  We could also do the race loop for Shady Grove, it just isn't as nice when its open to traffic.

I have a confession to make here: I am a running snob.

I got on the treadmill today and hated it. In fact I hated it so much that I walked away after a 1/2 mile run. I have gone from tready w/ ipod to outside with ipod to just let me outside in the past 6 months. Very interesting observation and progression...

Hiya Nibbs! Our net connection has been broken all day. For some reason, the wireless router still isn't working. It's weird.

We went to a wine festival today. Bought about 6 bottles. Lots of time in the sun. It makes me tired. I need to ride the trainer tonight to try out the new saddle more.

D001 - 2008-04-26 7:08 PM Six bottles of wine???? I'm betting that Kristen will be knocking on your door any minute now.

kns57 - 2008-04-26 5:27 PM I have actually ended up with a new pair of New Balance. We shall see how they are. I know I like them for tennis (well not the running shoes, but the tennis ones.) Frank did get a pair of Minuzos. We also both got a shirt from them. Yahoo.

enders_shadow - 2008-04-26 7:22 PM Pshaw...six bottles of wine is what we keep in our mini-cooler...and then the couple in the fridge, and then the reds in the pantry... So whose wine did you buy, Jen? (We heart the Virginia wineries - have visited most of them in person (more than once)!)

I think that's a polite way of saying she's a regular

D001 - 2008-04-26 7:32 PM So I'm thinking that next month, I will need to incorporate a flower into my Carol Ann Peep avatar.

D001 - 2008-04-26 7:35 PM No, what happened with Pam's adventure run?

I walked in on a couple making cheesecake in one of the park restrooms. Whoops!

D001 - 2008-04-26 8:37 PM




Hahahahahahahahahaha. That's funny.

Um, but what did you do after that? Did you use the restroom or walk out again? 'Cause I probably would have walked out -- unless I really really really had to go.
