Whoever came up with giving consumers the ability to track their packages over the internet is a genius. I’ve been checking the status of orders all week, and warned my apartment complex this morning that I will be getting a heck of a lot of stuff in the next few days. Last week, I got numbers and fliers in two boxes from Runner’s World. Then yesterday it was age group awards for the race. Today my new computer is arriving (according to the website it’s out for delivery!), and Friday I’ll get seven boxes of Yuri’s Night pint glasses (144 in all, some for race awards, some to sell). And I’ve gotten to track every single package. Tracking stuff is so addictive!
I am getting both really excited and really anxious about the 5K on Saturday. Part of me is thinking: “Wow! This race is really going to happen! COOL!” The other part is thinking: “Wow! This race is really going to happen! DON’T SCREW UP!” I don’t think we’re forgetting anything huge, so we should be set. I picked up the t-shirts yesterday, and they look fantastic. We’re stuffing packets either tonight or tomorrow, marking miles tonight or tomorrow, doing early packet pickup on Friday at On The Run, buying food on Friday, checking out the park one last time on Friday…yeah, I need to be in three places at once. But we’re going to have a race! So cool. I’m really proud that it has all come together.
Last night after driving to Alvin and back and running other assorted run errands, I managed to take the night off and relax at home. American Idol was entertaining enough, though I have to say I’m not totally sold on any of them. John was horrid last night, Fantasia bugs me, Latoya had an off night, I liked Amy and Jasmine and George, and the rest were so-so. It’ll be interesting to see who ends up winning.
Yes, John was very very bad. Both of them. Fantasia and Latoya both irk me in general, but I can’t ignore the ability. I’m thinkin Camille might be the next victim though.
