It's been 2 weeks since my last blog, but it feels like 2 months. So much has happened. Mainly the holidays. Christmas was spent with my family...and pretty uneventful. Then the BIG plans. New Year's Eve!

Normally my New Years is spent in front of the TV watching the ball drop, then off to bed. But not this year. Jane, Carol and I planned our Inaugural Midnight Mauraders Year-to-Year adventure. We has so much fun planning this. All the evil deeds we hoped to put our friends through, Loving put our friends through. It kept getting bigger and bigger and bigger, more checkpoints, more tasks, more ideas. People RSVPing, then having to cancel, others RSVPing that day, more undecided, more bringing friends. In the end, we had 13 people participating in the race and a total of 17 in all. We figured (I was actually a bit worried this might be too short) that the fastest people would finish in just over an hour, most in about 1 1/2 hours. Opps. We were a bit wrong with that one. The first finishers were in about 1 hr 15 min. The last team was in about 2 hr 15. But every minute was fun, full of laughs, comraderie, bonding.

We already have ideas going around for the end of 2009, and it's only Jan 2nd! HA!

This morning I woke up thinking about a Summer Solstice run. Maybe from our house, if we get the back pavers put in. Otherwise we don't have anywhere to put people. Right now if we get more than 12 people, we have to take numbers to sit in the backyard! I can have Dave string lights across the driveway and we can put tables there, just provide something to level the tables since the driveway slopes downhill :)~

I would love to post a picture of the event, but I've become so bad in taking pictures. Bummer!
