number two...

No, I'm not going to go into any details about the bowel movements of anyone in our household! Instead, I'm going to brag about my awesome husband, who got a second place trophy in a 4th of July 10K run! He ran the hilly course in a little over 49 minutes....not bad for an old man!! I had planned on doing a 5 or 10k walk while Jerry was running. But my walking partner bailed! I ended up walking about 2 kilometers with the the wife of someone I know, which was really nice. Even if it wasn't the workout I was expecting.

Unfortunately, the intense running ruined Jerry for the day. He was really too wiped out to do anything else. I was pretty tired out myself as we had to be up pretty early for the run, after staying up a little too late the night before. We spent much of the day napping and only left the house for some gas and wine (the essentials!).

The night before the run, we had people over for our first ever poker night....and my first ever poker game. And while I didn't get a trophy, I made out pretty well :-) We played low stakes poker, since none of us really had any desire to lose a lot of money. It's more about the fun of the game. I bought in for ten dollars and if I had lost it all, I would definitely have felt that I had well over ten dollars worth of fun! But I didn't lost it all...at the end of the night I had over $40, which I can only assume is beginner's luck. Aside from the game, it was nice to have people over and a nice excuse to bake some chocolate cinnamon bars, which were a hit!
