In the last 24 hours I've had a few really great ideas in concept, but when they are put into action the results are not as I had hoped they would be.
First I took an allergy pill last night around 11:30, it was one of those great first generation ones that not only cure your symptoms for a few hours but they also put you to sleep. It was night time, so I figured win win! I will not have a runny nose, won't sneeze and sleep like a baby! Well it was correct, allergy symptoms gone, sleep great, few hours not so much. More like all day I was in the zombie state of allergy free heaven. Good thing I didn't have to drive around all day or it could have been dangerous. Funny how just around the time that work is almost done I'm all of a sudden more awake....
My second one has seem to disappeared, as I can't remember it? I know that Canada Post screwed me over and is now holding my shower invitations that I procrastinated so hard on hostage. I am slightly worried that the sparkly star stickers I put all over them will make them a target for first ones to get forgotten or burned.... So plan b is coming into affect, no more cute invitations of the classy matter and going onto the calling of family and friends I don't know to tell them all about my lovely friends Tiki Shower happening in less than 3 weeks.
Then I am planning for a bachelorette party too, in less than 3 weeks for the same girl! I like a little challenge, some research and heart and tears. This party is going to be rocking, with its theme song already picked out, I think 80's sweet assed sweat shirts and tight pants are coming up next and then some dirty looking food.
So what I have learned? Don't sit on your hands with party plans, put them into affect! And don't take first generation allergy pills too late at night, best to take them earlier.

A little of a lot....
Where to begin? Well after my half marathon, I continued running... and then my running buddy got better and then I really got into the running again! Yay! I love running, and having a buddy to do it with makes it so much better. She is training for a half in July, I don't think that I will do that one with her. What I will do is train with her!
Want a little more? City Chase 2011, Edmonton, May 28th. Edge and I = The Blisters (yep by the end we had some new ones that took up residency on our feet and toes) The short of the story is that we started strong and ended weak! The plan we had was not executed as well as we hoped. There was a lot of running, Edge questioned my ability to run as I was super slow with the backpack on, as soon as he took over backpack duty 3 hours later I was like a little deer ready to bound through the streets of Edmonton and Edge turned into the sloth that got loose from the zoo. We had our ups (like the cute puppy that tried to take us down) and our lows (rock climbing blind folded, weak arms and 5 hours of running around = me almost crying). We had lucky times like the car pull mule thing and then we had our unlucky times like the university fiasco (where we did a lot of running back and forth a few times). We had happy times like singing in the car to the beach boys to our extremely rude bus driver that drove away from us and we ran two blocks, caught the bus behind it and then ran a block to catch up with the guy. Blood boils just writing about it. At the end of the 6 hour day we had finished 9 chase points, we needed 10. What we learned? I can't think while Edge talks, we don't read directions well at all and sweat head bands do work! I hope that we will do it again next year! We will kick the Chase Point Sheets ass and finish!
Now on the plate is A's birthday party and planning a bridal shower for my dear friend Fufu. I'm actually really excited about Fufu's wedding, it will be a blast and i get to see J and M!
So tomorrow is a 5k day, with a side of parade and house work, maybe a little lawn mowing. Sunday is a 16k run day and boy that will not be fun but with G it will be great!
Summer... not really here yet, as it snowed up north today, but I know it will show up soon.
