And This Is Exactly Why I Tore Off Herman's Face

The voice on the Will Vision and Laser Center radio ads sounds like Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock... Another reason I will never have laser eye surgery... Now all I picture is some Chris Parnell looking dude standing over me with a laser pointer... 

I am feeling kind of blah this week. I think it is carry over from last week... Wow, was that really just last week. Crazy how the passage of time can play around with your mind. We didn't run on Monday because I wasn't feeling well. Today we were only out for thirty minutes; we still did over 1.8 miles, but I had intended to do three... Oh well. I will get over this gloomy rut and back on track. 

This last weekend was pretty freaking good. I didn't get the time with the family I had been hoping for; each of them for their own reasons. BUT I did get some super awesome quality time with K and G (K's boyfriend). It is always so therapeutic and relaxing to get to visit with her, and meeting G was an added bonus. G gets my stamp of approval for making K happy. She seems so happy with him, and the happiness looks so natural between them (I know you are reading this, and it is 100% true!). As any best friend I only have one word of caution to G (I don't even know if he will see this but it's good to have it out there): Should you ever cause my girl any grief, I will be there in a heartbeat... With a baseball bat. Or some other blunt object... Like my truck... I don't see this ever needing to transpire, but it's good to make sure this kind of stuff is clear and in the open. :-)

Sunday was a mellow and laid back day. Collin finished his chapter test for the week and we ran a couple errands before watching the NHL All Star game. It was a great game, and (to make it even better) the team my boy, Pavel Datsyuk, played on won! 

Tuesday, my most hated and despised day of the week... My birthday landed on a Tuesday this year. Luckily, the only truly terrible thing that transpired was my left thumbnail broke while I was getting dressed. And it broke low. Thankfully it wasn't too low, so there was only some mild discomfort. Otherwise I think it was a fairly decent day. I got many birthday wishes from my friends, I got a nice card from the crew at work (means a lot more now that they actually know who I am... LOL), my mom sang happy birthday on my voice mail, and I talked to a very good friend for about twenty minutes. And then of course there is my husband. He got me another extremely sweet card that made me tear up a little (especially given the circumstances of the last couple weeks), and he got me a new CD and one of my favorite movies. Plus, apparently, the rest of my present will be here Friday or Monday... The bastard won't give me any clues as to what it is or where it is coming from... He won't even tell the color... THE FREAKING COLOR... o.O Oh, and he bought us a piece of German chocolate cake to split (good way to avoid unhealthy over indulgence). 

I didn't plan on this but I am going to go watch American Idol... It's the Portland auditions and you never know when you might catch a glimpse of someone you recognize.
