Apparently I'm "It"
So today I found myself tagged and since there is very little to report about my truly sucktastical day here in Chicago...I figured I'd play along. Because really...who wants to hear me bitch and moan about my awful day?
Yeah. Not you.
That's what I thought.
So here you go...8 Things...which I'd venture to say you couldn't care less about :)
8 things to which I'm looking forward
1) Tonight's tempo run. Even though it'll likely be lightning and pouring down...it'll be one of those therapeutic, suck it up, pound the pavement as hard as you can, spin the earth off beneath your feet, dig deep and run runs. And home girl needs that right now more than anything.
2) Seeing my parents this weekend. It sucks that we live so far away...I get to see them 3-4 times a year (if I'm lucky).
3) Doing some carnage on Mass. Street in Lawrence on Saturday. The jury is out on whether the carnage will be on my liver or my wallet.
4) Seeing my lil' Bro-in-law Graduate on Sunday.
5) Moving out of our postage stamp-sized condo. Seriously. I need more space. These walls are driving my slowly insane. No idea when this is going to happen...but I can counting down the days in my head.
6) 11.22.09. I hear that day is going to be LEGEND...wait for it.....ARY!! (for those of you clueless folk out there, that'd be Ironman Arizona).
7) 11.23.09. I hear that it's going to involve a lot of margaritas. And maybe even a mechanical bull. Incriminating photographic evidence will likely follow. Don't think I haven't forgot about this, Molly.
8) Retirement. Yes. It's a lame response. But it's true. I am quite looking forward to the day I no longer have to work, thank you very much.
8 things I did yesterday
1) Swam 2600 meters.
2) Biked for an hour.
3) Ate 2 breakfasts...and 2 lunches...and a bunch of snacks before and after dinner.
4) Noted how I was still hungry despite all the food consumed.
5) Bought a crazy amount of food for next to nothing at the grocery store.
6) Tried to go to bed early. Failed.
7) Boo'ed at the TV when Tara lost on the Biggest Loser (but yay for Helen nevertheless).
8) Burned the burgers while grilling.
8 things I would like to do
1) Clone myself three times. One Barb to train. One Barb to work. and One Barb to conquer the world.
2) African Safari with a detour to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and a visit to Victoria Falls with a dip in the Devil's Pool. This, hands down, would be my dream vacation.
3) Find a way to kill my pre-race anxiety.
4) Get more sleep.
5) Find a money tree and horde it all to myself.
6) The Great Wall Marathon.
7) Find a way to make Edward real and not a fictional character. (Ooooooh yes, I really just admitted that.)
8) Pack up and move to the islands...specifically Peter Island.
8 shows I watch
1) Ghost Hunters
2) How I Met Your Mother (what took me so long to realize the brilliance of this show?!)
3) American Idol
4) So You Think You Can Dance
5) Biggest Loser
6) Saturday Night Live...and almost any show with one of their veteran comedians.
7) Friends. Yes. I still watch this. And may even have every episode memorized.
8) And pretty much anything else that my TiVo records.
8 people I tag
Okay...rather than tag specific people...if you fit one of these descriptions, consider yourself tagged.
1) If you're born outside the country...consider yourself tagged.
2) If you're training for something...anything...even the donut olympics...consider yourself tagged.
3) If one of your redeeming qualities is sarcasm...consider yourself tagged.
4) If you believe that the toilet paper roll should point toward the back...you're correct...and subsequently tagged.
5) If you know a secret handshake...you be tagged.
6) If you are (or were) one of the Knights that said Ni...consider yourself tagged and receive the gold star of awesomeness.
7) If you've ever blamed it on the dog...yer it.
8) If you've ever started the night in NYC and woken up in Cancun with your pants around your ankles in bed with a goat and a questionably-gendered little person...then you're definitely tagged because the world at large is looking for an explanation on your shenanigans.
Yeah. Not you.
That's what I thought.
So here you go...8 Things...which I'd venture to say you couldn't care less about :)

Damn, at least 2 of those criteria qualify me as tagged. Stupid goat...
Don't ever feel like you can't bitch about your day. We're going to have a lot of *those* days this year - better to get them out than not. You can always bitch to me, I promise!
I hope you had a good run and I'm sure as hell not forgetting about post-IM drinks!
Great post. I am going to have to do this one...
Who are you rooting for to win American Idol this season!? Just curious :)
