A Weekend with the B$@ch

Another weekend, another night passed out on the couch.

I was a good girl on Friday. I was not in the mood for happy hour, schlepping all my stuff to Piedmont Park, not knowing who would be there, had all the makings for a grumpy Martha. Instead, I got a hair cut and color so I would be ready for the wedding next Sunday. Good thing I gave it a week to grow out, she cut my bangs a little short but I should be fine by Sunday. I did a little yard work before darkness fell and got ready for the weekend.

Saturday morning I got up early and headed out to Yellow River (yes, Yellow River) to meet Barb for an early morning ride. The weather was beautiful and we explored trails I hadn't rode before. We bumped into several riders on horseback but they didn't seem to mind us on there trail. After an hour plus on trail and we headed back to the cars, I needed to check if BWANA wanted me to pick him up or if I was going to get to go to lunch with Nancy and Barb.

Yeah, lunch with Nancy and Barb it was. We headed to Jason's Deli in Tucker, which worked out great, I had a yummy spinach wrap and I had the chance to head to the craft store to pick up some notions for the final touches on my Halloween costume.

A quick drive across town, landed me in the lovey area of MLK and I285. After being warned by a security guard that is wasn't a safe area and a mad dash for flashlights we were off! Trail was well laid and interesting...I don't usually say this but it seemed a little short. BWANA had somewhere to be and needed time to make himself pretty so we wrapped up circle and headed back to EAV for dinner at la castia, a pitcher of margaritas later I was on my way home. I arrived home to find one section of my fence gone (the neighbor is putting up a new fence) and the a fore mentioned neighbor and a friend hanging out in the back yard. I pulled up a chair and had a couple (4) more beers with them before falling a sleep on the couch.

Day 2 of Bwanafest

Sunday morning was unremarkable, a trip to the store and a much need cleaning of the kitchen took up most of the morning. I communicated with my Black Sheep carpool buddies and arranged to meet at my place at 12:45 for the long trek to Alpharetta. At exactly 12:45 Paul showed up about 30 minutes later, a very emotional Betsy arrived. I loaned her an extra CamelBack, we loaded up the car and took off north to the land of the Soccer Mom's and Big SUVs.

It was a large turn out for the 450th running of the Black Sheep Hash. We all wandered around saying hello and giving hugs to those we haven't seen in awhile and those we saw just yesterday. The hounds took off (TLS, BWANA & 2 Crabs) and the pack followed 5 minutes later. I'm not one for remembering much of trail but there was a swamp, some creeks, one 'river' crossing...I was up to my neck in ice cold water, I look to my right and I see Pussy Pilot only wading waist deep!! Oh well, I'll get him back in the next time we enter a tunnel.

From Davey's hash trash...I never thought those 4 names would ever be seen in the same sentence: with Martha and Bone Hole and Blue Ball Special following P*ssy Pilot
I'm running with the big kids now!

Actually, there was a first time Black Sheep Hasher, just Bobby, also with us then. He is a cutie and did flirt a bit with me (Davey was going to flip me for him)...I needed that after the events of last week.

We packed out bags, checked our passports and headed back ITP. As shocking as it may seem the evening ended with pizza and more beer at Bwana's house and then me asleep on the couch.

I'm a bad mom

As I said earlier, one section of my fence is missing. If part of your fence is missing you might as well not have a fence.

Well, I'm use to having the back door open and the boy know how to get in and out by themselves. I had a little mental hiccup on Sunday and left the back door open. When I woke up an hour or so later, I found I was short one DOG!!! Crap. At least it was Toby, I knew he couldn't have gotten too far. I found him after a couple of frantic minutes in my neighbour's yard.

Busy Week Ahead

I need to enjoy the down time tonight, I have a busy weekend planned. Tomorrow night Donkey Punch will return to Charlie G's to defend our unbeaten record. Wednesday night...I can't say, it is a surprise. Thursday I'll be heading back to Gorin's and the Thrashers Game. Saturday, my first 15K and then the hash and winding up the week with a Sunday Run and the wedding of two good friends.
