I think I have been inadvertently, and incidentally, learning to hate my own mattress.

I slept at my place last night and, from the moment I woke up through the present moment, my back has been hurtin' like a sum-muh-muh-bitch! Gf has one of those fancy Sleep Number beds. Maybe there is something to that whole notion. Or maybe this is just a "bad" morning...

Went to birthday party/cookout Friday. Had an argument with gf that evening. Don't worry, ladies -- it WAS my fault!! And I told her so.

After family time at the community market Saturday morning, we went to my place and took a much-needed nap before watching a movie.

Gf brought over cupcakes to celebrate her birthday with my boys Sunday afternoon. We all had a...

you mean I'm not the only one who'll admit fault? wink
stcyr:
Yeah, it'd be good to have someone to bounce ideas off of; you know "Dude, you can't call that one 'Earth-brown #2' . . . let's name that one 'Jackalope.'"

I took the afternoon off yesterday to run some errands.

Bought some darkroom chemicals, mix up the master batches, and should be ready this evening to process some film.

Spent some time (and a considerable amount of money) in Target getting some things that I wanted to have: a cooler, a picture frame for gf's birthday present, swim goggles for the boys, etc.

Went to...

You process color or b&w? I miss having a darkroom.

Which version of Army of Darkness? My favorite is Bruce Campbell vs AoD bootleg cut.

Really? khoos is all over the place here.

Fuck Nike + iPod. The last several days I have had to go through a process of deactivating/powering-down/reactivating/powering-down to even get the frigging iPod to recognize the sensor in my shoe. Today the process included an additional power-cycle, the work out started. I checked it at the halfway point -- 3 miles in. It had recorded a total distance of 0.00 miles despite the 31...

Dinner and a movie last night. "Salt." Very entertaining. We were going to stay in our seats and watch again, but it was getting late, so home we go.

4 miles this morning at a good pace (9:something per mile).

It seems as if the ex and I will have lunch together Thursday or Friday. I suppose to talk about child support and/or gf being...

just breathe during lunch...always keep your cool biggrin
stcyr:
As always, good luck, but it's nice to hear that you & the ex are at least able to talk about things. Tiptoe through these minefields my friend, and you will get through them.

Ran 10 miles yesterday. Gf and I pushed ourselves a bit. 7 more weeks until the ten mile race. Our run yesterday was mostly flat, the race is almost completely hills!! THAT ... is gonna suck!! We took today off from running. We will probably keep the distances this week in the 4-6 range, but run more and walk less. Come the weekend, though, I...

Feeling pretty good today. Yesterday I wrote a new post on my dating advice blog. Went home and ran three miles on the treadmill while a major storm dumped rain on the area. Met one of gf's good friends before going to pick up the prints from the "intimate" photo shoot I sat for (will scan during lunch and post). Watched "Superstar" -- I had...

Beer, pizza, and silly TV last night with a good friend. Slept alone at my place -- slept late, no run. I think my body feels worse without running than it does with it!! That's okay, tomorrow gf and I will tack on a few more miles.

I haven't written in my other blog all week. I just haven't felt ... good(?) enough or sure(?)...

Am pleased that I got Nike + iPod to coordinate last night. Granted the friggin' thing "owes" me 11 miles worth of credit, but at least it is working. Had an inside workout today, but will run again tomorrow. Got my Camelbak at the end of last week and ran with that Saturday. I can handle the slight additional weight, though the sloshing of the...

Annoyed. The ex is showing off her passive-aggressive b.s. again. She thinks it is "sad" that I would want to share my time with the boys with gf around. She will also have to "think about" recalculating the child support amount. She will probably be a bit of a bitch about all of this -- falling back on the "agreement" as it is convenient for...

i agree...she doesn't have the right to 'sign off' on every decision you make anymore...sweet dreams wink
kellenthirteen:
it's only natural for her to be playing the 'mama bear' role...however there's a mature way to go about doing that that involves mature communication and compromise...i'm sure if she had requested that you wait a month, you would have been more than willing, but there's probably a little bit of her being scared that she'll be replaced or that the boys will like the gf better than her...we women can get nuts occasionally wink xo

Well, it is Friday. Over the last couple of days my iPod has developed a gremlin -- significant power issues. Hopefully a "restore" will correct it. Otherwise....

Nothing much planned for the weekend yet. Tomorrow morning will be spent with gf and her family at the community market. Then maybe she and I will do some underwear shopping for her!!

I get to spend the...

It's good to hear your boys will be back from their vacation. Enjoy it man. "Underwear shopping?" you are either very brave, or very lucky. I'm not sure which way to go with that.
