Quick Weekend!


We had a really fun weekend but I feel like I blinked and it was over. Yesterday we went on what we thought was a long run......ended up being 3.2 miles. Oh well I was happy that I was able to run the whole thing without walking. I think R and I are doing great with our running and I'm really feeling much better and I have so much more energy. We clocked around 10 miles this week. Today we work on foot work, which if you haven't ever had experience with, it's so hard!!!!!

We headed up north yesterday to hit up the mall. I wanted something specific from Neiman Marcus, but they didn't have what I was looking for. I ended up with something different for R for Christmas and will get what I actually wanted in a couple weeks. Before hitting the mall we actually got our mid morning snack from Jamba Juice (yum!!!!). We had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen (another yum!!) and went to Whole Foods for our weekly supply of Clif Bars. I've been eating one everyday as a mid morning snack and it helps me so much, not to mention tons of vitamins and protein!!!! Ended the trip at Sports Authority to get a watch to time our runs and 2 pairs of spandex for R to wear under his shorts for running. It was a lot of fun just hanging out with Little Man and R but it was an exausting day!

We came home and apparently Little Man wasn't going to nap anymore so I tried my best to keep my eyes open to play with him. R had to go and return an absolutely ridiculous pair of Tiffany earrings that he thought would be a good idea to buy for me for Christmas?????? They were $3200, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We can bearly afford gas and groceries! It makes me so upset that he goes so freakin overboard at the holidays! It really actually pisses me off. Thank God he grew a conscience and returned them! I know he still bought WAY TOO MUCH! I don't know how to get through his head that just because he grew up with nothing doesn't mean that he has to spend every penny he makes. The man is incapable of saving a penny, let alone a dime!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are moving back to MI in about 6 months and we have NO money saved. I'm trying to save but it always ends up covering bills and his spending. Sometimes I wonder how I ended up with such an opposite husband to my own personality???

Today we went and did foot work and ran a couple laps, I was so tired when we were done. I like running in the evening much better than running in the morning. We watched MSU play basketball until about half time and then took a nap. I got up at 2:30 and went to Super Walmart to buy groceries. That took 2 hours!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate that place!!!!!!!!!!! When I got home I started cleaning and then now I'm online tutoring for an hour. Oh I forgot last night we tried to take Little Man downtown and get his picture taken with Santa, needless to say, it was a family portrait because he flipped out!!!!!!!

So R and I finally talked since our issues and thoughts and things are much better. I feel like every so often I just need to vent and plead my case and of course listen to his thoughts and then things are better. I'm still very upset about the tobacco chewing and I'm not sure what to do? I've tried not saying anything and that doesn't help, I've voiced my opinion and that doesn't help, I've been a bitch and that doesn't help, I am so pissed off that just because he didn't get that job that he was counting on that it upset him that much to start this shit again? I could kill the university that he interviewed with!!!!!!!!! Well I've got to get present wrapping and watching holiday cartoons :o)
