Busy but wonderful

Last week was just crazy, with something going on every night/day, but it was so wonderful. Here are the highlights:

Monday: glazing my bowl, spilled glaze all over the place so my tennis shoes look like I stopped after one color at the color run

Tuesday: Cardinals vs. Nationals. Winner!

Wednesday: A pretty amazing happy hour. I can't explain why, but I didn't get home until 10:30. Let's just admit it, HH should now be called beer night.

Thursday: A pretty sad day of climbing, probably because I had more beer this week than in the last month...but I did a 10D! That's like, way above what I should be doing. And it was not at all pretty. 2 little falls. But I finished it. And then I sat down and died a little. Note to gyms: if it's cold outside it can still be really warm inside. give us a little AC so we don't pass out on rocks.

Friday: Birthday pedicure with Emily.

Saturday: New brakes, which sucked big time. Trying not to sink money into this car since I'm saving for a new one...but brakes are something you just can't ignore. so I guess we'll just make the new car a Christmas gift instead of a birthday gift. After that was taken care of I went kayaking in Annapolis. It was a PERFECT day on the water. Had some beers in a little cove. Laughed at drunk people on the dock. then had dinner at a rooftop bar.

Sunday: Climbing at Great Falls...two 5.7s...one of which I managed the other I wanted to cry over. Not bad since here you really have to add 2 to get the real climb. 5.9s in the gym are great, outside still challenging for me. Then it started raining so I was bummed I didn't get in anything that made me feel good. But it was still fun and being by the river is always good.
