RUN: 2 miles @??:??, Home <-LL-> WM

Tonight after work I went to meet my friend Emily for dinner at Island Pasta Company. We ate outside and exchanged gifts. She gave me a cute mini lava lamp, a penguin photo/letter holder, and a set of colorful KNIVES! (bwahahahahah). I gave her the 2008 Studs 'n Spurs Calendar (she had given me one for 2007).

She had the cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, while I had the "special" spaghetti with meatballs...

Just look at the size of my meatballs!
Anyways, it was really nice to see her. I'll see her again next month when the Henegar Center's production of Nunsense opens (Em's in it!).

I had take-home (tomorrow's lunch) but was stuffed. I knew that it'd be my last chance to run before the trip, so I did... a mile to Wal-Mart to pick up some Tussin and Cepacol... then a mile back home. At work, everyone else on my hallways has gotten sick, so I guess that it's my turn... which kinda sucks, but I'm fighting it with a lot of vitamin C and liquids. I just have to hold on for One... More... Day...!!! Here's the/a kitchen pic of me and my preciouses:

*cough* *cough* :(
Anyways, gotta take a shower then seriously pack. I don't think that I'm going to get around to those holiday cards until after I get back. Tomorrow, I will also need to mow the lawn one more time before I go. So much to do, so little time.
