A Whole Lot of Not Running…

I can’t believe it is Monday again. It feels like the weekend just flew by! I don’t feel like I sat down at all this weekend. Well, sat down in my own house. We were on the go the entire time!

Friday night’s trip to the grocery store, followed by dinner at Chuy’s with the family left me not feeling so well on Saturday morning. I actually crawled back into bed rather than head out to the east side hills for my Saturday morning run. Crazy, right? It’s like I don’t even know who I am anymore.

It was nice to just not run though. I might regret the decision in two weeks when I am on the hills in Tulsa, but oh well. You only live once, and it’s less fun if you feel like you have to do it.
That brought my weekly mileage to 6. I don’t know when the last time I ran six miles in an entire week was. I might want to get back on the ball this week. I know I am not racing Tulsa, or planning on any kind of a spectacular PR, but I still am going to log the 13.1.

Josh and I headed to my first OU home game in a couple of years. I can’t even remember when the last time I sat down in Memorial Stadium was.

We were hoping to see a good game, but what we saw was a lot of disappointment. I hate to leave early, but in the third quarter when we had had enough we headed over to meet some friends that were tailgating. Best. Decision. Ever.

Rochelle’s sister Shaundra was in town for the weekend, she got to tailgate and she gets to head back to Arizona before it gets crazy cold around here tomorrow.

The cold wasn’t bothering Avery at all on Saturday. I don’t know how kids can run around in no coat and no shoes when I am bundled up in a coat, scarf and boots!

11 am kick-off makes for a very early bed time for me. I was up and ready for some baking at 7 am yesterday. On the menu, a birthday cake. Sarah said she loves all things sugar related and said I could experiment with her birthday cake, so I made her a funfetti cake. The whipped frosting was amazing! And who doesn’t love sprinkles?

Rochelle’s birthday is on Thursday so there will be more birthday celebrating coming up this weekend. How is it that everyone I know seems to have been born in November?

OU Softball Game...

Softball season for Longfellow is now officially over. Camy gets to clean out her stinky locker on Monday, so for now middle school slow pitch softball is over.

We met her team at Hideaway Pizza for dinner. On the way over, I asked my girls if they were going to sit with me and they basically told me no. Once we got there, though, they sat with me with some of their friends.

Micah, Carson, Cassi and Camy. These are four crazy girls. They were laughing the entire night. Cassi had me take this picture on her new iPhone 5, so she let me text it to myself. We are now friends on facebook. Camy and Carson had to keep reminding me how they don't have iPhones all evening. *sigh*

Did I say that we met there at 4? Earliest dinner ever. I think you can barely even call eating at 4pm dinner. After I had half a Pizza of the Gods, Camy nibbled on a couple pieces of her cheese pizza, and Carson ate an entire small pepperoni pizza all by herself, these crazy girls loaded into my car to head to the OU softball field.

There was an open moon roof, load music, singing and some screeming during the very short drive to the softball field. Those girls crack me up.

We got the team inside and all the girls got free backpacks and OU shirts, and then we headed to where we were going to sit. This was our view from our seats in the outfield. In case you are wondering there were two balls hit all the way into our section. You would think sitting with a whole bunch of softball players would mean you would have someone who wanted to catch a home run. You would be wrong.

The girls did have a good time.

The game was rather boring. The Sooners played Iowa State, and it was pretty sad.

It's pretty small, but the Sooners scored 11 runs in the first inning, and 12 in the second. The final score was 24-1 at the end of four and a half innings. Thank god for the run rule.

Cassi and Carson wanted a picture with the mascot.

Of course, there were fire works at the end. The girls had a great time. Camy even got some autographs, and I was starving by the time we got home.
