The last couple weekends have been very different and fun...
October 16th - was the Italian Night at the Library.
October 22nd was the start of my Army Ten Miler weekend. It was a long day of flights - 10am Pacific to 10:30pm Eastern. I flew from Reno to Salt Lake City to Memphis to Washington D.C.
October 23rd - I got up at a reasonable time, showered and headed over to the Armory to pick up my race packet. Ie to watch the MSU game. The game was horrible to watch, but we won in the end and I got to memet a lot of interesting people along the way. After the expo, I caught the metro to Capitol Lounget more fun people at the bar. That night, I met with with the rest of the 88th band runners and we had dinner at a Tapas place.
October 24th - Race Day! I got up early, got ready and met the group down at the Pentagon. I started the race with Kim, but couldn't keep up, but I did better than last year by over 7 minutes - my new PR for the Army Ten in 1:45:57 After the race, I watched the award ceremonies - the mens and womens teams took 1st place in the Reserves. Then, I made it back to the hotel, showered, packed up and waited in the Lobby. Jamie and Rachel came and picked me up and took me out to a nice lunch. It was so great to catch up with them! Afterwards we got coffee and then they dropped me off at the airport. I watched TV on a very bumpy flight to Salt Lake City and I slept the rest of the way to Reno.
October 29th - Nevada Day! I spentthe day cleaning and running errands. I didn't get everything cleaned up before Grandma and Grandpa showed up. Oops! It was great to see them! I took them to El Superior for dinner so they could have the sopapilla. Then we watched episodes of How I Met Your Mother.
October 30th - we got up pretty early and I made Kieshe for breakfast. I took Grandma and Grandpa on a tour of Yerington. Then we came back to my place and watched the MSU vs. Iowa game. That was sad.... Afterwards I made dinner (baked chicken and mashed potatoes) and went to a Halloween party at the Drapers. I had a great time and met alot of new people!
October 31st - Happy Halloween! I woke up a bit worse for the wear in the morning and I made Potato pancakes for breakfast. Then I slept while Grandma and Grandpa went to church. I felt a bit better when they got back and then I took them to the museum in town. It was a fantastic museum - they loved it! Then I made dinner - Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding - for Grandma's birthday dinner. It turned out really good! Trick or Treaters started showing up around 5:40 pm. I gave out way too much candy to begin with and then had to switch to granola bars and fruit snacks. After the trick or treaters we watched Two Weeks Notice and had grandma's birthday "cake" - Strawberry Pie.
November 1st - started NaNoWriMo!
November 5th - worked all day long and then drove myself to Dublin, CA for army drill. I had dinner at Rubios. I Sent a picture to both Mom and Caroline and I got the same response from both of them within seconds of each other: Bitch. Got to Dublin around 10pm.
November 6th - woke up early and had a long day of Army. After work, I went out to dinner with a couple of people from the unit. I stayed up late working on my NaNoWriMo.
November 7th - The next day was more Army training. I was getting a saxophone out of supply when a spider as big as my face waltzed across the floor. I shrieked and the supply guy wasn't phased at all. My girlyness has reached all new levels. We got out early so I hung around for a bit before heading out to Emeryville to see David! (Who saved me from having to drive through snow in the middle of the night!) David and I went and saw MegaMind and had Rubios for dinner. Then we went back to his place and watched Up before I fell asleep.
November 8th - I slept in and then David and I had IHOP before I drove home to Nevada. Long drive and haven't accomplished much since I got home...
Tomorrow, I head to Las Vegas with the army to march in a parade on Veteran's Day.
About time!
