{April 13, 2014}   Let’s get down to it!

You know whatFriday Was like, crazy, yesterday wasn’t much quieter!

Friday night we spent at a Hampton Inn, a few miles from lake Lanier, where the race was going to be held. This made it nice Saturday Morning, getting up leisurely, having breakfast and heading to the run.

I don’t I know if you remember me talking about participating in the Dirty Girl run last year. We had a great time and by the second obstacle we decided we were going to do this race again. This year let’s just say, we had a good time because we did it together.

There were some things that were frustrating with the organization the setup and part of the race itself but, we still had a good time. After the run and those in off I’m putting on clean clothes we checked out some of the merchandise walk to run a little bit and then walked mile back to the car. ( one mile walk to the packet pickup, 3.1 miles run/walk, multiple obstacles, & one mile walk back to the car, not too shabby)

We headed to Cracker Barrel for a bite to eat, our new tradition then on to pick up CKM’s car at the hotel, mala Georgia area to a running store to pick up some new super feet, Justice in the mall to pick up a gift for JK, just in time to head to Mimi’s to meet the gang for dinner.

Our waitresses name was DJ and when she asked what the occasion was I said “because I was here!” I told her about the races and how we all get together when I come to town.

We had seek CKM, DL and her hubby ML, SDL was there with Miss A & I got to snuggle and hug and kiss and jump with one of my favorite 4 year olds, her sister DJL. We had CC and JC and they’re adorable son, MC and rounding out the group was JBM, AL and their son.

When we got our checks, DJ gave me two of their fabulous muffins as a welcome home gift and I gave one of the muffins to Miss A because I know how much you love blueberry muffins.

After some good conversation, lots of laughs, and smiles, we went outside to take a picture and talk some more and then everybody went on their separate ways.

I’m always so moved and touched and amazed at how awesome my friends are that can make it out and take the time to come see me when their schedule permits.  I know how lucky I am!

After Mimi I headed out to LK’s house, JK had had her birthday party and was now having a slumber party and I joined!

She had two friends over so they were for kids in the house and me and LK. We talked for a few hours caught up shot the breeze and had a great time. Then she gave me a Benadryl and I passed out on the couch.

I have to tell you one of the things I do not miss about Georgia on my allergies, when I moved I stop suffering when I got back to Georgia on Friday I started sneezing within 5 minutes.

I have to tell you about these couches, if you have been to an AMC and experienced the recliners this entire couch is made of those recliners, let me just say wow! I fell asleep in that spot and then wake up until just before my alarm went off. I might still be there at this moment if I didn’t have a plane to catch!

I got cleaned up headed to the airport got my flight, got to Boston where my dad picked me up brought me back to the house and I hit the ground running. I had a nice surprise, BR was in the kitchen with my sister cooking and I jumped right in.

We stop cooking when it was time for pizza, no I didn’t have any, boo hoo, I was good and had salad. After dinner and everyone else left EJS and I started baking. We made matzoh brittle and coconut macaroons.

After cooking it was upstairs with DJs for two books that she read to me, spelling, math, I’m exhausted.

Tomorrow there’s some more cooking, then people come over, and we will start the seder.

I gotta get some sleep or I’ll be no good to anyone tomorrow! Have a great night and

A very happy Passover to my friends who are celebrating.
