I don't understand...I really don't. A boy says he will call you and doesn't...so you question him and he basically says he's been too busy. Okay fine, then say that, quite lying to me.
What the hell is wrong with them? They all just seem it is okay to lie, use and take me for granted...when did I get 'use me' tattooed across my forehead? What did I ever do to deserve to be treated like this?

Five Days Off Work and I'm Exhusted!!
Yes, 5 whole days off work. I haven't had that much time off since I started this job 2 years ago. It was great but coming into the office today was not easy.
No Donkey Punch for Me
For a multitude of reasons I did not attend trivia last week. I heard they ended up splitting into two teams and took first and second place...great job gang.
Instead of playing trivia I was running around getting ready for Thursday/Turkey Day. In my mad rush I forgot to bring my bike inside. When I awoke on Wednesday, she was gone!
Extra Time Off
Between being a bit pissed at myself and the asshat that stole my bike and feeling like I was running behind schedule I just took the day off on Wednesday.
I got a lot done, mostly mundane tasks such has shopping and cleaning house. I skipped George's and headed to bed early. I knew Thursday was going to be a long day and I was right.
Turkey Day
After a relatively decent nights sleep, I woke up at 5:30 am to head to Turner Field to meet friends and run my first half marathon.
While driving from Turner Field (the end) to Chamblee Marta Station (the start) I said to myself, "this is a long way to drive...and now I going to run it"...if I had been by myself I might have turned back.
We found a parking place and as I got out of the truck I noticed a flash of lighting, it was going to be an interesting run. We all decided on a pit stop before the race, that was the last I saw of my companions until around mile 6.
What can I say I ran for 13.1 miles, mostly in the rain...I never thought this was something I would ever do. I finished in 2:05 and I was very happy it was done. It was great to get to the end and see all my friends waiting for me (okay not just me, waiting for everyone). I guess I'll see you all at ING in the spring.
Okay I've looked better but I had just ran 13.1 miles and I was well on my way to a great buzz.

I hung around waiting for the Marathon runners to arrive...I finally left just before noon to be home it time for Stacy to get a good seat for the Packers game.
The evening was really nice, lots of friends and even a few people I didn't know well. In total I think about 22 people, 1 baby and a bird came through my house that day. Thanks Everyone!
Oh the Colts won too...YEAH!!!
For Me Friday was a Day of Rest
Friday was a slow day, I made a half hearted attempt to put my house back in order and I went for a hike along the 'hooch with a new boy. He was nice, seemed pretty into me...but something is just a little off? I can't explain it, I'm not giving up, I'll just keep my eyes open.
I bailed on the hockey game that my friend Stacy gave me tickets to...Sorry Stacy. I got home from my hike and crashed hard, did I mention I was going non-stop from 5:30 am to midnight on Thursday? My exhaustion and lack of anyone to go with made a last minute rally unlikely. I just stayed on the couch and got a little more rest.
Saturday - when things started to get interesting
Saturday deserves its own entry!Sunday - Hypothermia Hash
I really wanted to take the new bike (aka Gretel) out for a spin, Urban Wheelhopper seemed as good as option as any. The wind, rain and cold kept me from getting much of a work out...4 miles and I was done...I didn't warm up again until late Sunday night. I was still glad I got out.

Weight Loss Update
I've raised my weight loss goal to 25 pounds this is up from the original 15 I was hoping to lose.
I REALLY need to go shoping for new pants...most of them are just about to fall off of me. I'm starting to look like an 'urban youth' with my pants done around my hips.

What I've been up to...
Sorry it has been so long since I have written a proper blog...I will try to catch you all up with the last week or so.
Donkey Punch is No More
Only the beer has disappeared not the trivia team.
Donkey Punch the trivia team as secured a place in the trivia finals to be played in December. So we are now playing under a different name so we can try to get a second team into the finals also. Teams are limited to six people and we have a group of 8 or so that show up regularly and others who come now and then. We are going to try to make sure that everyone that can and wants to play will.
Tuesday night "Let's Be Frank" came in second place...we would have won if we had only listened to our team's namesake a couple of times
Lesson learned - don't doubt Frank when it comes to baseball or political parties.
Date Night
Yes, the shocking news of the week was not that I had a date...but that I had 2 dates.
Date #1 is a guy I met on Match, come to find out we are also both members of the same community forum. So while we hadn't met, we came close several times. At the EABF in May we were working only 2 tables apart.
We had spoken on the phone several times and decided to meet last Wednesday. He was going to call me that evening to set the time and place...this is where things got a little rough.
Long story short I realized it was 8 o'clock and I hadn't heard from him. I was a little miffed...but I also knew that he had been under the gun at work and was leaving town in just a couple of day so he may have been running late or just a little scattered. I sent him a text (too chicken to call) asking him what was up? He called immediately, apologized and asked if I would still like to meet up. Sure why not. So we arranged to meet at the newly reopened Gravity Pub. He was very cute, funny, easy to talk to...and I have to say we would look good together (both short red-heads). He said he had a good time and was looking forward to doing it again (per the email the next day). He is away this week, visiting his family for the holidays. I hope to hear from him when he returns.
Date #2 is someone I've known for a while. I'm not sure about this one but he had the guts to ask me out so I figure I would give him a chance. I went to his place last night where he cooked me dinner...I haven't had a man cook for me in a VERY LONG TIME. It was a nice evening and he got me good and drunk...we will see what happens.
Count Down to T-Day
So I'm host Thanksgiving dinner for 20 (at last count) of my friends (and others) this week. That is after I run my first half-marathon. What was I thinking?
I made it to the Farmer's Market yesterday to get the turkey and fixings for my meal. What a mess!! The place was packed with other, just like myself, getting ready for the big day.
Besides shopping and getting ready to run I've also been trying to fix up the house a little. I got the kitchen painted over the weekend, new light fixtures installed in the kitchen and some new hardware for many of the interior doors. I don't think I will have time to do much else.
As many of you know I participated in an activity this weekend that took up much of my time. I will post a recap in a separate entry.

Sorry
I just realized it has been a month since I have last posted...
I've been all over the place this past month, emotionally, physically, etc.
I don't even know where to start.
The holiday blues have started early this year...I just wish I could fall asleep for the next 6 weeks and wake up when it is all over. Last year was so bad, I was hoping this year would be better but it isn't working out that way.
I'll write more when/if I get things sorted out...
