Growing up and having fun!
Well, the weekend is over - boy was it a GOOD one! I ran the Moon Pie 10 miler in Bell Buckle on Saturday and it was a complete blast. Saw so many good friends...and remembered how fortunate and blessed I am to have so much. The race was HOT but I faired well. Coach Keith said hold 9:30's but I was able to hold 8:30's except for 4 mile hill. I finished 1:27:23 - only less than a minute off last year's time. The fact that I had a coach from November 04 to June 05 and felt like crap last year amazes me. This year, I walked away stronger than I've been in years. Guess Coach deserves a raise??
Father's Day was not the same this year, as I have put the relationship in my Father's hands. We had a disagreement about my Grandpa, "Gpa," dying a few weeks ago. Gpa was an alcoholic and Dad put him in a home. Gpa went cold turkey on the drinking, ended up in a coma and died they day he labeled DNR. I was not told until the day he died...actually 1 hr from when he died. I never got to say goodbye. I will forgive my Father for this, yet I am very hurt. Gpa and I had a special bond. We always forgave our faults and have full life together. So, I have not heard from my Father since before Memorial weekend...and I probably won't...ever. Very unfortunate.
On a happier! More lively note! I am soon to be a homeowner!! I found a 1930's Bungalow in East Nashville today. I went to the open house and there was one of my best customers from my store. OMG!! So, I asked them, no matter what happens today...let's still always be buddies. We chatted for a while and then I checked out the place room by room. It is for sure the home I've been searching for (after looking at 30 some houses!)...hot tub, deck, big shaded yard, 2 blocks from the Family Wash (my favorite local pub), in the heart of "transition" as I like to call it. East Nashville seems to be where us young at heart singles live in "transition"...until we decide to really grow up and be serious. NEVER...I refuse! ha ha I cannot wait...to have my own cool little place again.
Scares the crap out of me though, knowing if something falls apart, I'm learning to fix it...ugh.
Liam - check ...got the house, plan the trip! Bring friends...(but not too many...I only have 2 spare bedrooms!) Cannot WAIT!

Jill, sorry I haven't had access to the Blogs for a week, due to work at home. But I'm back now. Great show on the race firstly, it strikes me that you are really getting there.
As to East Nashville, it sounds like a place I will have to visit next year. Correct me if I'm wrong but the CMM is at teh end of April isn't it, as I have to be careful as I have exams in mid-May (I may have to study as I enjoy your hospitality) - Let's just say, can I make a provisional booking for one of those guest rooms :)
