Good morning everyone!
My parents are coming to visit today! What does this mean exactly? It means I get another weekend of quality family time, along with food from the farm. It also means my hands may permanently have the smell of clorox and windex from the amount of cleaning I’ve done in the last 24 hours.
Since I’m on official “race rest” until Sunday morning and my roommate is saving her energy for a big bachelorette bash later tonight, we spent last night getting in some roommate bonding time. Much like every other night of the week. I’ve been told we’re like an old married couple. So what? A quiet night in with a wholesome dinner, a movie, and early bed time is a rockin’ good time on a Friday night.
If there was a little wine spillage on the bib number, it totally means good luck, right?
Wait… what?
We decided on watching Young Adult. It was either that or Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. But we both felt the need for something light.
Or so we thought that’s what we were getting into. “Light” is what the trailers for Young Adult portrayed it as. Definitely not what it was. It ended up being a “grass is greener on the other side” sort of movie that ended with the same feeling as it began with. I’ve had better.
Alright, time to break out that windex one last time and finish my laundry. When the ‘rents give an estimated arrival time, it really means they’ll show up about three hours before then.
You think I’m kidding.

Enjoy time with the fam. Remember, rest > cleaning
I love fam time and the excuse to visit lots of restaurants and do fun and somewhat touristy stuff. Good luck on Sunday!!
Yay for family time!!!
My parents are always notoriously early as well. When I was in college we’d make plans for them to come visit me around noon on Sundays sometimes and they’d show up at 9am and I’d still be hurting from the night before…Enjoy your rest day and I”ll see you tomorrow!
I really want to see that movie, but that’s lame that it wasn’t that good. I hate when they turn out totally different than what you expected. Enjoy the family time and I can’t wait to hear how much ass you kick on Sunday!!
Have fun with your parents and enjoy the rest day! I can’t wait to see what kind of goods they bring you that we’ll eventually need to use up at family dinner.
Have fun with the padres, enjoy the free food, and have a great race!
I am supposed to run tomorrow, but alas, I am injured. So please run for me and have an amazing race!
I loved Young Adult. Saw it twice and own the dvd. I knew what it was about going in though. Sorry you didn’t like it
[...] even though I’m not running tomorrow, I’ll still be at the race cheering on this girl, this girl, this girl – and everyone else who is competing tomorrow. Because you are all awesome. And [...]
How was Young Adult?? I saw Girl with the Dragon Tattoo yesterday and it did not disappoint, it followed the book perfectly! So good!
Run fast (you always do)!!! Enjoy the fam. Can’t wait for the race recap!!!
My parents are always early! I’ve learned to tell them to come 45 minutes later than I really want them here. I get you on the Windex thing.
Good luck today! And I hope you are having a fantastic weekend so far.
A wine spattered bib number is ALWAYS a good sign in my book
Can’t wait to hear about the race!
Haha nights like that are sometimes my favorite type of night. I’m totally ok with a night in when it involves a bff and some dinner. Mmmhm.
Good luck on the race! (Well at this point you’ve already run it… but… I hope it went well!)
Hope you had a fabulous time with the parents. I’ve definitely been thinking about you this weekend. Dying to hear how you did!!
I hope you had a fun family weekend and enjoyed your race!
