I am fortunate to have never seen first-hand damage from a bomb, but I wonder if our kitchen resembles that...
We're renovating our kitchen. My brother-in-law is doing most of it (the women are supervising). After finally finishing cleaning and my project (and I even got ahead on tests, vocabulary lists and handouts!), I ventured into the kitchen for a snack. Upon glancing at the kitchen, I realized it was just not in the stars. The tile was ripped up yesterday, the refrigerator is now in our living room (meaning the margaritas are closer to the couch), cabinets are missing, the stove and oven is now in the backyard (awaiting trash day, they will not stay there long - we have some class), I can't find the plates and flatware because those are the cabinets that are no longer in existance, the ceiling is ripped apart where top cabinets were removed... sawdust is everywhere. We're going to be eating takeout for a week because we can't cook! Either that or we'll be doing a hell of a lot of grilling...
Tomorrow is my long run day. On my own, I will do 6.1 miles. After 6.1 miles, my sister will be joining me, since I am training her for the Houston half. She's a walker but we're going to do 5-1 intervals (5 minutes walking, 1 minute running). This is the first time we're incorporating a minute of jogging, so we'll see how it goes. Oh, she is a chronic asthmatic, so we're taking it REALLY easy. Her goal is just to finish. And I'm going to be the good sister and I will accompany her the entire time (which is fine with me; maybe I'll do better in New Orleans, two weeks later). Hell, maybe I'll walk faster with her (I tend to stroll during my walk breaks and could use some speed then). So tomorrow is a total of 14.4 miles - 6.1 on my own and 8.3 with her. Granted, I'll be walking most of the last 8.3 miles, but it's still mileage... right?
Hey, I need help. Who can tell me how to add links to my blog, such as other blogs I read or sites I visit? Keep in mind, I'm not very technologically savvy...
