Weekend Work

I pretty much worked at the house all weekend. My dad and brother came up early Saturday morning to start the master bath. I now have a hole to put the tub into. Spencer filled the drain in with concrete and prepped the shower for tile.

I cleaned up and burned two piles of tras
After that dad got me started on staining the doors and trim pieces. All the molding and trim will be stained dark brown.


I got all the three pocket doors stained and the guest bedroom bifold closet doors. I still have to stain the door frames and doors for the three bedroom doors and tons of trim and molding. I can go over this week after work and get the rest done. I actually like staining you don't have to be neat like painting.

I did take a break from working Saturday night to watch the game with Kev at a friend's house. 

We both went to the house today. I finished staining the doors and trim pieces in the pictures above and he stacked firewood. Yes, I know I say we do that ALL the time, but there is SOOOOO much of it. I need to take a new picture. We now have three rows and a small pile that still needs to be stacked.

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Winter Weather Cancels Marathon

This weekend was supposed to be the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis. I signed up back in June and reserved my hotel. However, mother nature had other plans. We had a round of bad winter weather that left roads iced over for several days, so they ended up canceling the race. I checked and luckily my hotel will refund me my money, while others are not. Now, I was going to complete this race, but had I trained for it? No. I've been way too busy the past few months to take hours out of my dad and weekend to run. I had a house to finish and move into and a wedding to plan and attend. Anyways. I'm thinking about running the Nashville one in April. We will see. On another note the winter weather had us trapped on our hill for four days, before the temperatures reached 32 and the ice could melt some. Kev and I definitely enjoyed spending some quality time together and had a blast sledding.
