I woke up at 6am on Saturday morning to run my very first road race. It was the Circle of Friends mini 10k. It was sponsored by the Legacy Foundation and they're all about NO SMOKING. It was an all women's race and at the end we got medals, a rose, bagels, plums, and water, and then Shannon Glennis and I got pancakes.

And then we bought Luckys and SMOKED ALL DAY.

I MEAN - we got lucky because we smoked out the race competition. That is exactly what I meant.

After the pancakes, I met Brigid who looked at my apartment and I got a new roommate!

Then I got an assignment

COMMENTS:
Murphy is an adorable two year -old beagle.
I do not want a dog.
Dogs require too much attention.
We met so many friends at the BULL MOOSE dog run outside the Museum of Natural History, and Murphy can run for longer than an hour without tiring!
Sometimes junkies decide to nap in dog parks and it is hard to persuade a chipper pup that junkies are down for a pat on the head, even though the junkie might have a singluar and remarkable scent.
Some dogs are skilled at trying to wake you up in the morning by actually pulling the covers back and nudging you out of bed.

Later that evening, I went to a rooftop birthday BBQ and I got cake, sausage and too many chips.

Things I got today: a workout, a medal, a rose, plums, pancakes, a roommate, a dog-sitting assignment, hormone crazies, chips, sausage, and birthday cake.

Thanks for all the stuff, World!!

What is it, Christmas?!


PIRIOTS 6-11-06:

Erin Rose Foley: Okay, this is my final listing for her unless I see her outside of my hood. She is obviously stalking me.
Nick (Mat's friend from Evansville who went to grad school at NYU ) Saw him outside the healthly ice-cream place. He's one of those gentleman types who kisses a lady's hand for greeting purposes.
Zach Woods: He didn't see me, because I was in a cab and he was in a pizza restaurant.
