Max capacity

After clearing out our office for phase two of the flooring installation, I am officially declaring my house as filled to max capacity. We have so much shit and clutter it makes me sick. I just want to throw it all away. I've been able to pare down old textbooks to stuff I would still use in my job, but the hubster is not there yet. He's going to be an actuary. Does he really need to keep a chemistry book? Did I say that he has one quarter left on school? When we finish the office and move stuff back in, I have a feeling that a lot clutter is going to end up in the trash.

What does one do with old textbooks? Donate to good will? Do they even take them? I would feel bad if I just threw them away.

At least the office is cleared, must need the baseboard and carpet tacks out and I can start laying more boards.

Owwwww

I'm such a baby.  I just had my first lacrosse related injury in over 6 years.  My left hand pinky is swollen and scraped up.  I keep looking at it making sure it's actually swollen.  It hurts, but not a lot.  I'm just a big old baby in my old age.

I also have to say that I love lacrosse and I love that the post collegiate team is prospering.  So stoked, it's totally worth all the time and effort to organize these games.

Totally screwed

I've lost all motivation to train for my upcoming half marathon in 24 days. I also screwed myself by overbooking myself for lacrosse. Looking at my schedule, I have only 5 days scheduled for a run. I'm doing lacrosse every other day between now and may 5. I don't even know if I can even do long runs on any of those days either. My legs get so tired recently and I don't want my reffing to suffer because of my running. My longest run to date is 7.5 miles :(

I've already accepted that I'll be walking some of the race, but I'm not sure how much. I don't want a repeat of the last race either. Maybe I should just drop out. So disappointing :(

I think if I can get one 10 mile run in before the race, I'll be ok. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Easter candy overload

I need this like I need another hole in my head. I spent $15 on Easter candy at Kroger yesterday. It was 50% off! I couldn't help myself. In my defense, I bought 2 bags of Reese's minis and 2 bags of Rolos for baking purposes only. It was way cheaper to buy these now than when I would plan to make these cookies. I also bought the hubster some other Reese's candies which I know he loves.

On a side note, I saw an Asian women toting around a giant cardboard peeps box with like 20 boxes of Ferrero Rocher or whatever they are called. So Asian!
