Weekend Wrap Up!

Before I tell you about our weekend, let me brag about my dad!
On Saturday, he ran the Knoebel Lumber 5k and won 1st place in his age group!
22:56- that's a 7:24 pace!
GOOOOOO DADDIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up at 4:26am on Friday, right to take on the day! Not to brag, but before work, I ran 5 miles, lifted back, and cleaned the bathroom. I should get up in the middle of the night more often!

Around 11, things started to go downhill. I had rehearsed a dance in the gym with the entire 4th grade. It made me hot and sweaty. But then when I went down to my classroom I got cold. I thought it was from the sweat, but actually I was starting to get sick again. WHY COULDN'T I SHAKE THIS? Not only did I feel lethargic, but I had a runny nose and sinus pressure. Paul thinks it's allergies but I am not sure...

After work, Paul and I had errands to run. While we were at the grocery store, we ran into my dear friend Clarence who I haven't seen in years! He's a retired music teacher I used to work with. It was so wonderful to see him and catch up. He's the same old Clarence.

When we got home from errands, I cleaned the entire house in just under 45 minutes! What a relief to have it over and not have to dread doing it on Saturday. I think I will clean on Fridays more often! Oh, I saw the biggest spider I ever saw in my entire life crawl behind our dryer. It was terrifying. I am glad Christmas didn't see it because he would surely try to eat it and then get sick.

Then the cats got into a pretty bad fight... don't worry, they are okay.

Did I mention they got a new cat condo?

Saturday morning was my first official run of HALF MARATHON TRAINING! I did 10 miles and it went really well. I will update you about that tomorrow, as well as post my goals for all the internet to read. (Gulp.) But here is the short story...

I was pretty wrecked after my run so I just relaxed until it was time to go out with Paul!

We headed to Lancaster to see a really funny comedian- Mitch Fatel. We also had dinner at an Italian place called Pasquela's. The portions were so big we have gotten 4 meals out of it so far and there is still a little left! All for $28. Can't beat that!

Chicken Parm!

Lasagna!

Mitch Fatel!

We spent the entire day with our friends Bob and Rachel at the best amusement resort ever- Knoebels!

First of all, I didn't have to drive us to Knoebels. It was sooooo nice to sit in the back seat and look out the window for once! (Paul doesn't drive, so I do allllllll the driving. I freaking drove us from Denver to San Diego!)

Paul got to drive us all on the Antique cars.

Rachel!!!

 You will not believe it. I scored 350 points at skeeball!!!!!!
This was my prize.
Paul tried to get them to announce my name over the loud speaker but they wouldn't.

Then I won 70 tickets on Deal or No Deal! Boy, it was turning out to be my day!

If you have been reading my blog for awhile you know I LOVE Deal or No Deal!

Then Bob won 60 tickets at Deal or No Deal!

We gave all of our tickets to a little kid.

Paul can't ride much but he can do the carousel! Luckily, I love the carousel!

We ate our faces off. The cherry on top of all the yummy food was

an apple dumpling with vanilla ice cream! My fall is complete.

 My little prize chilled out in my purse for the rest of the day!

What's your favorite amusement park?
