My Marathoning Days are Behind Me

I look at this picture of me at a Neighborhood House Fun Run kindly donated by my Dad, and I think...maybe! Maybe I could have been a historic long distance runner who won multiple gold medals for her proud family and adoring country. ((insert Chariots of Fire theme here.)) I clearly had the fashion sense necessary to spearhead a one-woman sports fashion revolution. Nike just hadnt discovered me yet.

Annnnnyway, have fallen a bit behind on my blogging duties due to other life commitments. The big news first: THE BOY IS BACK. His flat is (more or less) finished and rented to a very nice couple...nice, except they are already creeped out by the 12 Monkeys movie poster he left for them (rightly so, might I add). It is supposed to be 80F this weekend, so I think we will head to the beach to welcome him back to LA in style.

We leave for our epic journey across Japan (a touch melodramatic, maybe) next Thursday. We couldnt be more excited. Lots to do before we go, including my 2 tax returns for 2 separate countries - and they arent even in the same bloody tax year. That's boring, so I wont go on about it. I also need my hair cut and a pedicure. Ok that's REALLY boring, so I'm going back to work now.
