Weekend Recap: Independence Day 2008

This post-holiday fog requires minimal cognitive effort...so I bring you the weekend recap...in bullet form.

Thursday:

• Ran 2 miles for July-a-thon
• The family decided to be in the 4^th of July parade, so we hired some dude to make us an "old woman in the shoe" float (Grandma is old and has 11 kids. Appropriate, yes?)
• We put the finishing touches on the float and had fun in general
• I did some "carb loading" by drinking 5 Fat Tires (Mmmmm...beer)

Friday:

• Ran a 5k (did 9:11 miles, not too shabby)
• Parade (I handed out candy. Kids loved me)
• Grandma's 90^th birthday party (Mmmm, cake...)

Saturday:

• Ran 2 miles for July-a-thon
• Attended a massive family reunion
• Grandma is one of seven children
• All the seven families and their families came to celebrate (~200 people?)
• Played some serious Flippy Cup
• And then we played even more Flippy Cup
• Went to bed at 4:30am
• Ouch, man. Very ouch. I was NOT in good shape.
• Killed off 1/3 of my entire population of brain cells

Sunday:

• Got up at the crack of 2pm
• Didn't form coherent sentences
• Blarrgghh

Monday:

• Felt human
• Ran 2 miles for July-a-thon
• Hung out with the aunts, Grandma, and Mom
