Tur-Tur-Key-Key Day

Ah, Thanksgiving. My favorite holiday of the year, followed by my favorite non-holiday, day of the year, Black Friday. You all remember the things I love about Thanksgiving, right? Well this year, I'm super excited as always, to celebrate another year of delicious food and the tryptophan hangover. But fortunately or unfortunately, this will be a somewhat untradtional Thankgiving for me there. Let's review the good and the bad things about this year, shall we?

At it again

So last week I decided that I was going to run another half marathon and I signed up for the Thanksgiving Day Half through the Atlanta Track Club. I probably should have touched on this last week but with the blog make-over and the dates I just had too many other things on my mind, but it didn't stop me from signing up for the low price of $48.48! So yeah, I've started running again (twice this week!). And you better believe I'm going at this with full force. Deep down, I really am a runner - and I love it! But dammit if my knee won't NOT cause me problems again. Seriously, it hurts to walk down stairs because when I step down with my right leg, my left knee bends kind of back and pain shoots up my left leg. It's not fun. Yesterday during my 3 mile run I could tell that it was giving me problems but I powered on because I really wanted to hit that 3 mile mark. I was wearing my jumpers knee strap but as soon as I slowed it down for my "cool down" my knee was in more pain than when I was running. Why oh why did I have to jack up my ankle last year and ultimately weaken my knee in the process!?

Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun!

Watch out folks, you're getting a double dose of me today because I'm simply THAT busy at work. I just thought I would share with my loyal readers another fabulous surprise activity I got to partake in about 4 hours ago to make this week even better than it already was going to be! At 11:45 this morning one of my bosses called me into her office and asked me to grab one of my co-workers. She didn't say what it was in reference to so I kind of started sweating profusely. I get really nervous when I don't have any idea what to be prepared for when I have to meet with my boss. It makes my neck hurt and my forehead sweat, among other things. So I grabbed my co-worker and told her that the boss wanted to see us. I walk in to see 3 other co-workers standing there in her office. ok, now I'm really starting to sweat. What did I do wrong that my boss felt the need to call everyone in to her office to scold me about? Shit. This cannot be good.
