Baseball is here!! and other quick updates

1. Both the Phillies and Yankees are playing their home openers today at 1:05 pm...which means i'll have two gamedays up on my computer at the same time and accomplish very little at work today. I'm so excited for baseball season!

2. Prom Dress Update - I have been informed that I must match Jim's choice of Royal Blue as a color scheme. Less than 2 weeks to go shopping! Putting that on my list of errands to run this Saturday.

3. I got to see my dear friend from High School Melissa perform as Rizzo in Grease over the weekend. She rocked (as usual). It's been years since i've been on stage. As I watch my friends in shows, I imagine the little conversations they are having while acting in the background of a scene (a popular one during our high school musicals was "are you going to so and so's cast party tonight? and how are you getting there?"). Good times.

4. The tri training group workout Sunday kicked my butt - but it was good. Started out with one-legged drills on the bike, followed by fast cadence drills (quick leg turnovers at 110+ RPMs with low wattage - under 100 watts). Finished with a 30 minute pace line simulation - lots of fast cadence followed by high wattage and lower cadence shifts ever minute or two. After all that is completed, we were to go on a 5 mile run outside. I felt good (even though my legs were wobbly getting off the bike) and as I was about to run out the door, my coach stopped me and told me to only run for 30 minutes and not do the 5 miles with the rest of the group. I almost had a clean getaway! But I know it's for the best - still, that 30 minute run was great (minus the shin splints and achilles flare-up). At least my ankle didn't hurt.

5. I've been trying to find a carpenter up in NY to replace the cabinets I have in my kitchen - I've spoken with this one guy my super recommended and my super will let him in. I just want an estimate from the guy and he keeps putting it off. Arghhh! It's so frustrating - I NEED to get rid of this place!
