Thoughts from the Archangel

Homemade, but out of a box, cupcakes for breakfast.  I mixed these little dollops of strawberry goodness with cream cheese frosting up late last night to share with the group.  Originally, it was to celebrate my boss hitting her 50-mile mark in her quest to run 100 miles in one attempt.  Well, with the heat (an amazing 88-degree day in late April) and some other snafu-age, it didn’t happen.  I didn’t know about it until this morning, after I had already baked.  Oh well.  So, now the office is having cupcakes for breakfast.

I’m not a runner.  I don’t enjoy it like some do.  It pounds the crap out of my joints and gives me an immense headache when I try.  Maybe I don’t have the proper form or whatever, but I guess I don’t care to learn any different.  We’ve been working out on our program since early November, and I haven’t had to run once.  I like the elliptical, and we have these nifty CrossRamp machines, but I avoid the treadmills.  We’re coming up on six months and the trainers like what they see out of me.  It’s harder for me to see the results, but I do feel better overall.  I just need to keep pushing myself so I can be feeling good about myself when we’re on the beach this Labor Day.

Let’s see:  Sports – the NFL draft happened.  Woo!  The DH and I made fun of it while we were at the gym.  People really go and sit to watch this?  Hmm.  There was a big wreck at Talledega (well, duh.  I think there’s a big wreck there every time.), and Jacoby Ellsbury stole home in the Red Sox’s sweep of the Yanks.  Kewl.

Better – on Saturday that there’s hope that Joe Mauer may return to the Twins earlier than Friday’s anticipated return.  Not that I want any skill back with the Twins, I don’t like to see such hotness wasting away in the minors (where there aren’t a lot of photos taken).

Worse – the ChiSox lost to Toronto.  They still have a team?  Oh, yeah, they have Roy Halladay.

Meh.  I have a lot of work to do today.  But first, I might go snag one of those cupcakes…
