sup people, i'm back

So I guess I have to maintain this blog better! I guess I got hooked on the myspace bug for a while, but I'm back!

Ok, to bring you up to date, my house is all settled and wonderful, I'm totally enjoying it, it's absolutely amazing having a house! I'm working down in Clifton Park and it's going well, the commute is actually kind of pleasant, I actually get to enjoy my sirius subscription and catch up on plenty of news. Oh, and the best part of the job switch is definately GETTING PAID!! No, you can't underestimate the power of a predictable paycheck.

I've gotten back on a running kick, I did a 5K in the state park on Sunday, and it was a blast...tough...but envigorating. It was a cross-country open, and the course was all off road on trails through the park. Saturday I'm going to attempt a 10K in the park again, but this time on pavement. I'd like to do the Las Vegas half in December, but we'll see.

I'm *totally* psyched for next weekend when the ladies from college are coming up for some halloween shinanegans in toga, I'll be sure to post some pics...

over and out, 10-4 people.

floors

If you haven't already heard, I bought a 95 year old house in Saratoga Springs, NY and I've been working on it all summer. This past weekend Eric and I finished finished stripping and hand sanding the floors and began applying polyurethane and they look fantastic!!!

lake george triathlon 2006

Sunday, September 3rd was the first annual Lake George Triathlon and I competed in it as the runner in the Team ODI relay team. It was a rainy, miserable day, which is perfect running conditions for me. The course was rather hilly and shaped like a chicken foot, but I somehow managed my best 10k time, 57 minutes (9:17 miles). Team ODI consists of Jennifer BStone, the swimmer, Michelle the biker, and several support members--Bike Mike (thanks for the canopy over the van!), Suzanne (thanks for getting your butt out of bed at such an ungodly hour on the weekend!!), Eric ("I peed on my cell phone" all round support the ladies coach). This is actually an annual event, I can't wait for the tri next year (which I think I'm actually attempting individually instead of relay somehow)!!!

End of the Wurld

So today is my first day back from vacation and besides catching up on email and reminiscing with co-workers about my trip, I decided to quit my job. So here I am, tanned, tired from becoming reacquainted with a work day, and drained from giving my notice. I guess all endings are difficult, and new beginnings scary.
