Well, I was getting ready to write a blog post when our electric went out. It’s cold, rainy, and so very windy with gusts up to 50 mph here in Ohio. Then I remembered that I could write up an entry on Windows Live Writer and then post it when the electric comes back on… as long as my laptop battery lasts long enough!
Right now, my whole family (minus my youngest sister who is away at college) is sitting around in the living room with candles lit and we’re enjoying talking, eating ice cream, and spending time together even though its midnight! It’s a lot of fun! Brings back some memories :)
It seems like everyone around here is registering for 2011 races… Guess I’m in the “in” crowd… Lookie what I did Friday night!!
I’m so excited!! Half Marathon #2 is now paid for and on my calendar!! Anyone else running The Capital City Half Marathon?!
Also, I will post my race recap from this past weekend hopefully tomorrow or Thursday… I was hoping that the organizers would post some pictures but I’m not sure if they will or not and I wasn’t sure my parents were coming so they didn’t have my camera.
Last, but not least, I am hosting the 2010 Christmas Card Swap!! :D If you haven’t already joined in on the party, head on over and sign up!! It’s going to be loads of fun and I’m positive you don’t want to miss out!! ;) You can click on the picture and it will take you to the official page!
Ok, well… I’m getting tired and I don’t think the electric is coming back on anytime soon, so I’ll have to post this in the morning! Goodnight all!
**The power is now back on… It was out for about 1 1/2 hours
Oh my gosh - your time with the power out sounds like it was so much fun! Too cute!

ReplyDelete50 MPH winds, holy cow! I am so excited for your next half marathon you are going to rock it! That is fun that you whole family is hanging out and even better eating ice cream. Glad the power came back on and I am so excited about your card swap idea!
ReplyDeleteColleen - AWESOME!!
ReplyDeleteHungry Runner - It was fun! I may have stayed up a little too late tho! lol... I'm so glad you are excited about the card swap! At first I was afraid that everyone would think it was a stupid idea!
You made the most of the power outage! Glad you have something on the 2011 calendar...always fun to start looking ahead.
ReplyDeleteI actually like power outages. We put a fire in and put candles around and snuggle up in blankets! :)
ReplyDeleteYay for registering for the 1/2 mary!! :)
what a great time with the family!! YAY for half marathon number 2!
ReplyDeleteI used to love power outages, but once we moved to the mountains and we had a power outage for 5 days. It was generator time.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting another 1/2 on the calendar.
Congrats on your second upcoming race!
ReplyDeletewoo hoo! I love searching for 2011 races! a new year, a new race. :) it can be kind of fun when the power goes out (if you're not alone). Sitting around chatting by candlelight can be a nice change. :)
