To say this past Saturday was a crazy morning is like saying Pee Wee Herman is a nice man. It all started at 5:50am when my alarm went off. Yes I could be sleeping in, but no I'm an idiot and want to exercise. So I proceed to go to the gym at 620am hoping to get in a fast 11 miles and be home by 8am. Well, I pull up to the gym and it's dark. Not a good sign at all. I pull up by the door and they don't open til 7am. Great. I'm not going home b/c I don't want to wake anybody especially the kids so I proceed to my parents house which is only a couple miles away. I sit there until 650 and go down to the gym. When I get there I hang my coat up in the same area with my keys in my pocket and go and run. That's when I hit the treadmill wearing a white drifit tshirt. About mile 8 my nipples start to hurt and I think nothing of it. I remember in the back of my mind my uncle saying at the ends of some marathons he would see people with bleeding nipples. I was like whatever. Well I run the 11 miles and get off the treadmill only to look down and yes it's true, my tshirt is red with blood. Great, I'm at the gym with a white tshirt and thank god I had my fleece to put on. So I run/fast walk to get my fleece and go out to my car. I reach into my pocket and no keys. Are you shitting me?! At first I thought, I never leave my pockets open but maybe I forgot to zip them. I go back into the gym and go by the weights where I was for about 10 min before running and nothing. I then go to the desk & ask if any keys were turned in. The lady says no and I go back and look around the gym foe about 15 min and still nothing. Everyone is looking at me at this point b/c I'm walking around in a fleece when it's 1000 degrees in the gym. I go back to the desk and ask to use their phone b/c my phone is in my car of course! I call home and no answer. All I can think is, shit I just ran 11 now I have to walk about 3 miles home now. Well I walk about 100 yards and think, I'm never going to get home so I run home with this heavy fleece jacket on and sweating my ass off! I finally get home around 915am and my wife says where have u been? The gym called and said some guy is bringing your keys back. So I pick them up later at the gym and I am still wondering how someone 'accidentally' takes your keys from your coat pocket when they drove there in their own car? You need 2 different sets of keys for your car? And that's the craziest damn 3hrs I've had in a long, long time!!!
This is the 1st and only time since 1999 when I started at Fedex that we have closed because snow. I still haven't received an official call from work, but have talked to 2 drivers that have gotten the call. Now I can spend all day shoveling. Maybe I wish work was open then......NOT!
Most of you know that I work for Fedex. Well let's just say I hope this week goes fast and gets done with smoothly. About 99% of you reading this will say to yourselves, "all these guys do is drive around all day. How hard can that be?". For thinking that, you should be kicked in the head 10 times. I would pay someone to come ride with me for a few days right now and see how their body felt after "driving around all day." Let me tell you it doesn't feel good at all. Well good luck to me this week and everyone else that has to listen to me bitch about it. :)
Christmas...there is 1 reason I love it this year and 1 reason I hate it. The first being the reason I hate it. My neighbor April just put her tree up on Nov 13!!!! Does she or her family know that Christmas isn't until Dec 25th and not Nov 25th?!!!! It's like Frankenmouth the 365 day Christmas city! LOL. The 2nd being my wife came to me and said ' you won't believe what I'm going to say'. She says ' I think I'm ready for a fake Xmas tree this year. I almost fell over. Thank God!!!!! I'm so sick of picking up needles. It will be the best thing this house has seen in yrs!!!!!
Ya I'm turning into a lazy bastard posting right before I go to sleep. It's 10:30pm and my wife is sleeping and all I see is the glow of this phone in the bedroom as I type away. I had to return a Scooby Doo movie tonight, so what better way to do it (other than drive) is to run down there!! Great idea when it's pitch black and leaving to go running at 8:25pm! Well it went fine. I borrowed my cousins Garmjn Forefunner 305 watch to use and it was the best thing in the world. That way I didn't have to lug this phone around. You can see your pace per mile, distance, total time and u can even set a goal of let's say 8 min miles and it will tell you how many feet behind you are (if you fall behind) or ahead you are in your goals. Pretty sweet. Well, peace out. We will talk to ya all tomorrow.
Well it's about 940pm and I'm actually sitting down checking out some apps for my phone! Checking out a new RSS app, but don't know if I need it because I get A LOT of info and news from Twitter. Also checking out a new browser called Atomic. We will see! Also, my wife went to bed at 9pm tonight to get a little sleep because she is getting none at night right now with the little one. She's just going to our bedroom and says 'wake me up in a couple hours.'. I say ok. Ya right. I'll wake you up in about 4-5 hrs so you can get some sleep. Well gotta go for now and check out some new apps!!! :)
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but with the new addition I finally have 10 minutes to write a quick blog. Well, Leah is now 1 week old and doesn't want to sleep at all at night. Lindsay (my wife) is already going to kill me because I go to bed at night and she stayed up last night until 3:30am with her because she is wide awake. Not crying, just awake. Ya I guess I would be pissed also if my spouse was going to bed and I was staying up. Don't blame her for telling me that I suck for sleeping. Well that's about all around here for now.
