Zoomy reports good traveling and reasonably well-behaved little boys, despite getting stuck in traffic a couple of times in Chi-Town... did

Thanks for the update Did!

Did, sounds like unfortunately *cough* luckily *cough* you're not making the trip.

Are you kiddin' me? I have the house to myself for a week. There's beer cans everywhere, strippers passed out on the floor, and I'm using a sawzall to cut anything harder than butter. Guy Land doesn't happen often, so I gotta make the most of it. did

RA just isn't the same without Zoomy!! Tell her parents to join the rest of the world and get access to the Internet!!

The Zoomstress today reports that the didlet was up at 5:30 in the morning and refused to sleep more, so he went out and rolled loud toys around on the wood floor. I refrained from making comments about how I woke up with a purring cat next to my head. did

Hrmmm.... Anyhow, I'm back!!! And let me just say that I am REALLY dreading tomorrow's Jiggly Joggers weigh-in...it's not gonna be pretty. There's a reason that WI always ranks up at the top of the states with the fattest people. Ample cheese, beer, fish boils, fried cheddar cheese curds, fudge.... And, of course, since I no longer live there I had to stuff as much of that calorie-laden goodness into myself as possible--often to the point of feeling ill. I don't think I ate much in the way of green foods, either. Now I am craving a salad! I had a great time...didn't get nearly enough sleep, but had fun showing off my favorite childhood locales to my son. Also got to meet the children of several HS classmates--THAT makes me feel older than just about anything. Even got to go out for a couple of drinks with two of my closest childhood buds, too. We closed the bar down! I only managed to get one run in and it was sorta miserable. Now that my right outer arch pain has all but subsided it seems to have traded places with what I am pretty certain is "runner's knee" on my same troublesome right side. Great. Only was able to do a single 5.5 mile run...the first mile of which was pretty uncomfortable. I ran a 15k race 2 days before heading to WI (with no physical issues whatsoever) and didn't run for the following 3 days due to driving and weather (HOT, humid, ghastly). I am having pain, difficulty fully straightening my leg if I am bearing weight, and going down hills is no fun. Also have a popping/snapping sensation while walking and some popping/cracking sound quite frequently (my knees have always done this, but without pain up until now). I almost wonder if all the time sitting in the car contributed...? Think I might be looking into some sort of knee brace on that side.

Welcome home Kirsten!!!

Welcome back !!
