It's a little childish of me, but I'm writing this on company time. This is because yesterday, one of my co-workers was out and I ended up not only working late, but working through my lunch hour, and because they had me sit through an hour-long presentation about what my own department does, complete with statistics and facts, during today's lunch hour. Note to management: Giving me pizza does not affect my judgment. I'm not fooled into thinking I've had a break from work!
So, I've been doing a little looking around at what other people blog about, and it's come to my attention that I am in the minority as a blogger because I don't write about God or babies. Seriously, click through the 'Next Blog' feature at the top left. It is almost certain that you will run into a blog about people's babies or their opinion about God in less than 3 clicks. That got me thinking about who exactly reads people's blogs. I happen to know exactly who is reading this one (hello Chris, Mom, my father-in-law Peter, and Mary!). Maybe all blogs are limited to people's close friends and families, which explains all the baby news. But the God blogs? Who's reading those?
This blog won't venture into the topic of God or babies. Wait, I will mention that my mom did remind me to start taking Folic Acid if I want to have babies soon, and my dad recently bought a set of children's books 'for the future'. And while I'm sure that any babies Chris and I have will be quite literate, I'm also surprised that the biological clock's tick is loud enough for my parents to hear, too. That's all on that!
Since I last wrote, Chris and I have been out to Scotland for his sister, Alison's wedding. It was an incredibly beautiful ceremony and was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me. I would post some pictures, but once again, I am at work. Alison was a beautiful bride and I'm pretty thrilled to have her husband, Martin, as my new brother-in-law.
Chris has kept his employment at Wunderlich-Malech. They like him a lot over there, and he doesn't hate it, so it's a win-win situation. I am also still employed, as you know (since I'm writing this from work) and it's pretty OK. Meh, I don't want to talk about work. Plus, what if they have some kind of 'Internet spyware thing' and they read this? Trust me, you're not missing anything interesting.
Chris, my mom and I ran a 10-mile race on Saturday! I keep thinking back to my college years when running 2 or 3 miles felt like a big deal. I also think back to my mom's first run, when she ran less than half a mile and announced she didn't want to run anymore, ever. We both kept going and then we did this, and it's pretty amazing. Also, I'm amazed at how awesome/unfair it is that Chris can just decide to run 10 miles and be done with it, while I have to really give it some effort and train for it for months. Lucky duck...I acquired some bruised toenails during the race, which I've been told are a badge of honor for distance runners, so I feel legitimate now. The day after the race, I managed to step on a rusty nail and had to get a tetanus shot. Between the nail mark and the toenails, I've had to accept the sad truth that I will never be a foot model. Sigh.
OK, that's it from me for now! I hope you're all doing well.
