Post-Schna-ulations

I did it (and other bad Dave Matthew's songs)

So, I got my lazy butt out of bed at 7:15 Thanksgiving morning, took the bus downtown in the ass-cold, with the light rain and cold wind, and ran 5 miles (along the rivers, no less) in the city's annual Turkey Trot (I had a 2 mile option, but went for the glory). I finished in just under 55 minutes, which was my goal (i'm really not much of a runner, so this is a GOOD time for me).
Later that day, we went to a friend's place for dinner, where six of us proceeded to polish off the better part of a 12 pound turkey. First, we gorged on dinner. Then we sat for a few hours and watched football (and some people tried to play football outside in the dark). Then we gorged ourselves on four different dessert options. Then we sat for a couple more hours, watching more football and finally switching to "Family Guy". At this point, people started to drift home. When it was down from 9 people to 4, we had the brilliant idea that turkey sounded good. So, we made leftovers. Yeah, you'd think it would be obvious that this was a BAD idea. So, Jon and I were finally able to roll ourselves home aroudn 10:30 that night.

We had company for the weekend - a friend from St. Louis was visiting. So, naturally this meant we were eating out often, and when we stayed in it was just to order pizza. Good times were had. We also bought a new coffee table from IKEA that I continue to love more with every passing glance, AND we FINALLY got a dining room table/chairs which will be picked up this Wednesday. Pending delivery of our office couch today, that makes our apartment complete!! woo hoo!!!

So once again, it's back to work. I'm suffering from vacation hangover today. But, I was able to roll my lazy ass out of bed, squeeze into my clothes after a weekend of gorging myself, and get to work on time. The countdown now begins to my days off around Christmas - 24 days and counting!
