Note to Self

So I have been in my houe coming on two years. Yes that is right. And here I thought I knew most of its deep dark secrets. So a few weeks ago I decided to put up Christmas decor, which meant I had to clean everything first. So Erick starts with the ceiling fans adn something, something that i've never felt before, makes me take the vent cover off the wall vents and clean them. Oh I remember, I saw a pen stickign out. Whatever it was, I reach my hand down the vent and think, Oh there is something down here....little did I know that a fake snake, a few tires, a necklace, a gumby toy and the entire Big Wheels collection were all, I'm sure, 'in safe keeping' for some 4 year old that got suddenly moved before he could take his stash. Lesson learned..You should always check your vents.
I swear that all came out of ONE vent.

Santa Run 2011

My first 5k! ANd it was probably the funnest....I was needing some motivation to get me back to the gym so I decided a public display of my running prowess might be just the thing. So I found this 5k for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It was hilarious. The suits came with the registration adn there were over 900 Santas!! I finished in my first, and personal best time, 33:54. It was cold, fun and a great motivator. I'm thinking if this doesn' texist in Washington, when I eventually make it back...I'm bringing it with me. Good times.
