Spring Breaking

We are Spring Breaking this week!! I got to sleep in this morning since dad wasn't here. If you can even call sleeping until 8:00 sleeping in. Anyways. It was nice. Even the babies didn't want to get up.
I went to lunch with a couple of teacher friends. We tried a new place called The Main Cheese. Hello gourmet grilled cheese. It was fabulous! Kev was jealous, so we will be going back soon. After lunch I shopped.
I found the lamp on the right at Marshall's on Clearance. The light socket was a little wobbly, but superglue fixed it. I've had the lamp on the left for years. It was in the living room at the rent house. I loved the color in our master bedroom and wanted to find something similar. They are exactly the same color and I love the fact they they don't match but sort of do. 

A friend posted a picture of these books on Facebook tonight. The top one caught my eye so I bought it  and will be reading it tonight. I may check out the others too. My books selection revolves around children's literature, so I sometimes lose touch with the adult book world.

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.
