material girl..

I got some lululemon in the mail today. Sky stole the pink run/cycling vest immediately. I told her to give it back, pronto, and this is what I got:

A view of her little tonsils. And then she stole the shape jacket, which I stole right back and wore to work. And then on my run, and then again, all evening. I'm still wearing it. And I think I smell just fine.

I love all my new stuff! Thank you Kirsten, for taking care of me.

Since it's the beginning of taper time for Oceanside 70.3 next weekend, I have been taking it a little easy. Perhaps too easy.. Friday will be a complete day off, and I rarely do that. I at least ride my bike to/from work most days.. but the coach forgot to send a schedule and I'm rolling with it. Friday feels like a good day to rest.

I'm learning things during the taper. After work this evening, Katja was headed to Murphy's to watch the Duke game, so I went with her. In my run gear, ready to roll out the door and run an hour.. but then I accidentally drank a Tom Collins. After forgetting lunch in the crazy busy work day. One cocktail and I was spinning. I said good-bye to Katja and friends and headed out to wobble through downtown. Luckily it was a state holiday so the roads were pretty empty. I don't run so good drunk. I tripped twice, but no blood was shed. I stretched at Kewalo for so long I started wondering if someone might loan me a surfboard.. aloud. Spring break is teaching me things too, with conversations that go like this:

Hey Sky, how did you get that tape in your hair?

From a credit card.

From what?

I asked Wyatt if I could use his credit card, he said sure, and put the tape in my hair.... But don't worry, I'll cut it out.

And with that, I learned to re-hide the scissors.

I'm expecting a present in the mail today, one that will look a little something like this!

Kristin at Betty Designs whipped it up in a day, from an email, in which I pretty much asked for something pretty, because that's the extent of my artistic description ability. She did pretty! And then Dawn and Ira at Splish made it up and send it my way. I can't wait to try it out in a little sprint this weekend..
