It was beautiful

The weather was perfect.  In february, I was running in capri's and a sleeveless top.  My running buddy from work came with me, and even left me in the dust a little bit.  I started to fall out in the last mile of the run.  I was actually looking for a soft place to crash with out too much garbage or glass.  I managed to make it back even though I was about 100-200 feet behind my co-worker at all times.  I'm so glad I didn't lose it because she would've never known that I was down.  It was a long recovery for me today, but I finally came around and finished off the day at work.  

Last night B and I went for a walk together so we could burn some energy off.  I also have been chewing gum like it's my job lately for no good reason.  So with that in mind, we walked down to Rite-Aid so I could get my fix of rubbery goodness.  We made it a few houses down and heard a gurgling sound.  He called the station to tell them that he thought there was a water leak from the hydrant.  The fire department came to check it out and called him back to say that it wasn't a water leak, but a gas leak.  We were kind of shocked because it sounded like running water.  That's a big leak.  Of course, we didn't realize until the way back that he was smoking a cigar the whole time we were looking around trying to figure it out.  Then as we neared the house again, we could then smell the gas.  It wasn't too long ago that there was a house explosion about 9 miles away from my house and I heard it from the very room that I'm sitting in now.  I walked out in the living room to see if he heard the noise and he said no.  Then we heard that there was a house explosion down the street from my best friend's house.  I was so thankful that we went for a walk last night and found that before it was discovered the hard way.  

I'm home alone tonight so I'm catching up on some laundry and dishes before the wind knocks out our power.  It must go off at least 2-3 times a month.  I guess the gorgeous weather has to end sometime before returning to our nasty Old Man Winter.  I was so getting used to the idea of not wearing a coat.  I'm really looking forward to the spring because it feels so damn good to get out there and run.  I love that feeling of accomplishment it brings me.  Plus, in the spring, our showers are hot again!  

Ok.  I'm starting to ramble and I should stop.  I have a ton of blogs to catch up on and a dog to make potty soon.  I'm crossing my fingers for another full night of sleep.  Here's hoping!
