1. Last night we got a call during dinner that someone wanted to see our house at 7:15. Muscle Man and I sprang into action, making the house is tip top showing shape. Trouble is that Little Stud #1 was feeling sick.. UGH!! Turned on all the lights, opened all the windows, and headed out. We killed time running errands, then drove back half hour later but they were still there... hmmmm?? Could be a good sign. So we drove off and Little Stud #1 proceeded to upchuck in the car, LOVELY!! We went to Fred Meyer to get out of the car and I got a text from our Realtor. They LOVED the house and will be sending an offer tonight!!! Wish us luck that the offer is good and that we can FINALLY start our house hunt.
2. My lovely older sister Jayne has always been sizes smaller than me. However, through running and weight loss I have bridged the gap. She kindly gave me a size medium dress from her closet and I am happy to report that I am wearing it PROUDLY today. THANK YOU RUNNING!!
3. I am finally feeling better. Yes I still require cold pills but I have not coughed in over 12 hours :)
4. I am EXCITED to run the Mercer Island Half on Sunday. My Race Plans are still a little TBD, but you will find out more on Monday after the race report..
5. This weekend will be Gonzaga Women's NCAA Basketball Game, House hunting (hopefully), 1/2 Marathon, and lunch and b-day celebration with Bloggies and buddies.. Oh sounds soooo good!!!
