So I guess I will post a "real" post since no one is posting and I keep looking back to the blog only to watch "Foux De Fa Fa" again. And as fun as that is I think I'll try to give the blog a jumpstart.

Let's see. Last week I waited with bated breath for Alyssa to arrive. I stayed at T&T on Thursday night and watched the kids when I wasn't at work on Friday. I got to see Alyssa on Sunday and she is very cute. A newborn, so mostly she was just sleeping and making odd faces the whole time but she is very cute. The best part is watching Danica sulk. She will just walk a few steps away, turn away from everyone and bow her head in silence. Poor girl - she stills get plenty of attention though!

Not too many exciting developments for me. I got my hair cut again last week. Went for a shorter bob-ish style. It is longer in the front and short in the back. It is much cooler - temperature wise and nice to not have hair on the back of my neck. It is also a lot easier to style so that is nice.

I have been a total slacker this last week with training for my race. I always have the problem of going after work right now because I am tired, I have to go somewhere/do something else and/or it is just so freaking hot! It was like 90 degrees outside when I got out of work last night and I just don't do well running in heat like that. So my possible solution was to try to wake up earlier and go in the morning before work. I tried this morning and the waking up actually wasn't too big a problem but when I did wake up I looked out the window and it was still really dark (at 6am). I live on a really busy street and the places where I usually run that are close by are kinda wilderness areas - so all places that I really wouldn't feel comfortable or safe running when it is dark outside (I'm sure Dad will appreciate that). I can't go any later in the morning because I have to be ready to leave for work by 745am. Any ideas?? I know it will cool off in the next few weeks but I really need to continue training in the mean time. I am definitely feeling it that I haven't been going.

In my free time I am packing my stuff for my short move. I will be moving my stuff slowly starting next Weds through Sept 7th (when I have to be out of my current apt). So right now my apt is in disarray - boxes, shoeboxes, bags, piles everywhere - so that is kinda throwing my routine out of whack too.

This weekend I am going up to LA to see a play that my friend Matthew is in and next weekend I have my 5K at Disneyland, which I am very excited to do again. I'll also be doing the other 5K that I did last year in October. It is in Balboa Park on a Saturday night which is a fun change. I think I might drag Tom to do it with me.

Mom comes down next Monday to help out Tom & Tracey and Dad is coming Labor Day weekend so it will be fun to have them in San Diego again if only for a little while.

Tonight I am going to dinner with my old roommate Sandy. We are taking the ferry from downtown SD to Coronado and having dinner at a restaurant on Coronado. Should be fun!

Would love to hear from all of you! Especially those we haven't heard from in a while...coughBrentcough... Love you guys!
