Little Letters

I really need to do a "re-cap" post on my birthday weekend, but that will come later. Instead, I am stealing my sister's post idea from today - called "little letters".

Dear Miles (our 15 week old puppy), I take one rest day a week, where I sleep until 6 am. Could you please get it right, and sleep in as well? It sure would be lovely to have one day of the week where I sleep past 5. :) Sincerely, Tired Pet-Owner

Dear March 11, Please get here soon. I have 7 work days left, and it is so tough to be present when not just my foot, but my entire leg is "out the door". Your truly, Tendered Resignation

Dear March Weather, In opposition to the rest of the county, I would like you to linger. Soon it will be 90 degrees on my 5 am runs and 100 degrees when I get home from work in the evening. I'm savoring these pleasant 70 degree days. Sincerely, Runner Who Doesn't Like Rhabdo

Dear Cubical-mate, Please go see your ENT doctor and get those hearing-aids that he's going to prescribe you. Your yelling into the phone, and then stating, "I feel like I have to talk loud because I can't hear the other person" is difficulty to work around. Sincerely, Thank God My Last Day is March 11.

Dear Legs, Thank you for staying strong and injury free through all the craziness I've been putting you through lately between Ragnar, getting back into trail running, backpacking training, and biking. I am so thankful for you. Hence why I give you rest days. Sincerely, Runner Girl

What are your current letters?

Have your tried giving Miles Benadryl? Just a thought, as I know how great it is to sleep in once in awhile! And 6:00 is not sleeping in for me!
Anxious to hear all about your new job and what it all entails, so will be looking forward to that!

Oh no I hope Miles starts sleeping later soon. I don't ever remember Chloe waking us up early (other than when she was potty training and had to pee - the first month or two we got up at least once or twice a night to let her out) but now she sleeps as late as we do and sometimes I even have to nudge her out of bed! I could just be blocking out the early morning wake ups though ;)

My letter would be:

Dear April 2 (the day we leave for Maui!), please get here already!

The time between when you resign and when you are done always seems to crawl by. Plus I know you gave an extra long notice. I hope that March 11 comes VERY quickly so you can start this new chapter of your career!

My letter would be: Dear subzero temps - please go away. It's way too cold for March.

One Confused Lady

Yesterday morning was packed with a session of cross training.....rushed home to shower and get professional-looking....headed across town for an interview.....kicked butt at my interview...."bopped" over to our house to see the progress of the build......headed to the "design center" to sign more paperwork.... (Side note: I cannot get over just how much paperwork is involved in building a house. Holy Hannah. And we haven't even closed !!! Iy-yi-yi....Those lovely people in history who got law-suit-happy.....God bless 'em.) Yesterday was a good day! So here's a little humor for your Thursday. A little thought. A little depth.....( A little cynical rant ) Afterwards, I decided to head to one of my favorite places to peruse.... Target. But my experience at Target was far from fun, relaxing, or pleasant. Just confusing. Loud. Crazy. Despite many screaming children-temper tantrums.... Which is common and un-escapable. Although screaming chi...

Winter Storm hits the desert?!

Happy New Years Eve to all. I hope everyone is able to celebrate with family, friends, or loved ones tonight! And -- I hope everyone has a safe evening!! Be careful out there! We are finally experiencing some "weather" here in Tucson. I use "quotation marks"...because this "weather" the Tucsonan's are FLIPPING OUT over is just a "chilly October Day" in North Dakota (where I came from) Yesterday morning...I was getting off work. I could hear the wind blowing, and the rain falling throughout the night. There were moments where...I kind of want to crawl into one of the hospital beds and take a snooze. When 7:30 am rolled around, I was very anxious to go home after 3 nights on. I was ready to BOLT out the door.... ...when I was stopped by an oncoming shift coworker, who stated, "Abby, maybe you should stick around until the weather clears up. It's pretty bad out there...." FEeling concerned, I asked, "Really? Are th...

St. Anthony, Where are you??!!??

So. Let's talk about my day so far. And why I suck at being organized. Do any of you know these people who always have it together? They never lose ANYTHING. They have a spare set of every important document, item possible. Every document has a file, every item has a place, every place has a label. They are always collected, have every duck is in the row. They live in perfection. This description is my husband: Ryan. My second question: Do you know anyone who's life is an absolute train wreck? They are always running in circles. They cannot be responsible for an important item if their life depended on it, because the strangest things happen to them. They never seem to be at the right place, or never seem to be on time. They cell phone often ends up in the refrigerator. There is always a giant debacle occurring. This description is me: Abby. Well this morning two people of this nature got to mingle a little. Well, they happen to be husband and wife--so they have to mingle withi...
