Another day, another 5k

This weekend was pretty chill. We managed to fit in:

Homemade waffles with fresh strawberries and bananas............three times

Watching all three Back to the Future movies

I did another race, Randi's Race: A 5k run/walk for Hope and Courage. Stas was the bomb again and came out bright and early to support me. Buster made friends with Thunder the Boxer. Thunder actually ran the race with his owner. He's a little more hard core than the B-man. By the time we headed home Buster was pretty wiped out, and he decided that my foot/shoe made a nice pillow. He normally doesn't get this much excitement in before noon.


In honor of Mother's Day I decided to showcase a talent that my mother-dearest had taught me--the french braid. I've been curious as to whether I could bull this off, I figured what the heck and just went for it. So here she is:

Really, a braid at 25 is totally acceptable. When I asked Stas what he thought he told me that I look like the Ukrainian Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko. You decide:

In other news, Stas has finished his finals!!! So the cable man came on Saturday and hooked us up. We are excited for the endless amount of junk we can now watch. I am already embarrassed for how much time I've wasted. Oh well.

Poor guy

Right now Stas is trying to study for his last three exams of the semester. Three finals in three days. No big deal. No pressure. Unfortunately his studying has coincided with my weekly cleaning rampage. So on top of having the cutest pup ever and a simply irresistible wife (the best distractions ever) just a few yards away, he also has to deal with the obnoxious noise of the following objects:
-Bread machine
-Dish washer
-Washing machine
-Drier

And in our little one-bedroom, the noise sure adds up. Maybe I’ll even throw in the microwave just to see what he can handle. Okay probably not. But I did make waffles with fresh strawberries and bananas for lunch, so maybe he’ll let it slide? I hope so.
