I spent the better part of the weekend at the pool, which opened Saturday. Actually Saturday I went with Rachel and Jason to the outlet mall and went on a shopping spree where I splurged on some new clothes for the season. It was fun. I'll have to admit I am not a big shopper, but it's nice when you can get a lot of stuff all at once. And there were some great deals for Memorial Day weekend.
Friday night I went to the baseball game with the only surviving bachelor, Bachelor #6 I think, from the Match.com virtual experience. And he's not far from the path to elimination. Maybe my expectations are too high. Maybe I am too picky. I don't know. I seem to find fault in everyone I meet. I think I still do too much comparing to Simon. Damn him! At least he'll be moving to Ohio soon and maybe it will be easier to get over him. He just sucks though... I wish things could have worked out. The Nationals played a really great game against the L.A. Dodgers. Too bad I'm not a Nationals fan.
No skydiving this weekend. It's probably good I was able to cross that off my list of things to do in life because there were a couple of accidents this past weekend. In Kentucky, one 33 year old man died after two skydivers collided and the parachutes deflated. Also a 44 year old first time skydiver slipped from her harness and fell to her death on Saturday in Ohio.
Yesterday we got up for our long run around 6:00 AM and were already running before 6:45 AM. It was HOT! I could only make it running (and at a very slow pace) about 2 miles and ended up walking the better part of the last 4 miles. My vision fogged with the sunscreen dripping into the eyes as sweat rolled down my face. We're going to have to start getting up earlier... maybe 5:30 AM this weekend. Especially if we are really going to run the Survivor Harbor 7 race in Baltimore in only a couple weekends, which is 7 miles. It's been in the high 80's and even 90's the past few days. There's only one place to be...
Sunday and Monday were spent at the pool. I've never lived anywhere with a pool, so I am really excited for the summer season! Growing up, my family had a membership to one of the private swimming pools called Sundowners. We'd always beg my mom or a babysitter to drive us there and spend all day in the sun. We'd also annoy the teens working the concession stand all afternoon long. Haha! Unfortunately the pool doesn't have a concession stand or anyone serving fruity drinks under palm umbrellas, but it's only a short walk down the breeze way. And that is good enough for me! So now you'll know where to find me this summer season...
