Aarrggghhh...... I hate Mondays.  Monday morning is always so hard to wake up and get out.  Then all the stupid people feel the need to cross my path throughout the day and I end up wanting to throw them all overboard or volley cannons into their starboard side.

Best part of the day was the mega cookie pie and ice cream that mini-me whipped up for dessert.

I ran home from work, and it was a wonderful 50-something degrees outside.  I thought a week of freezing temps would have killed off the gnats, but there were more out today than ever.  I breathed in a bunch, hacked up a couple, spit out a few, and I'm pretty sure I still have one stuck inside my nasal cavity.  Maybe a neti-bath for the nasal cavity later tonight for fun.

The sun was still up and above the tree-line when I got home.  I am in love with longer days!

QP, nice run, good way to start the week. Those stupid people, can we line them up to walk the plank, orange plank.

By the way, appreciate your support, this darn swimming is so darn hard, keeping after it.

Drat those gnats! Nice long run for a Monday! Yeah for longer days!

Sometimes I just want to smack stupid people upside the head, and I've heard about the ones you have to deal with...and they'd be first in line! Sorry. I hate Mondays too, but for a whole different reason :)

Nice double. You're spoiled to still get the sun up in the evening. I think we get to about 5:00 here, well you still have light, but I don't think the sun is still up. Darn mountains.

QP, we may need to break out the Pirate ship to paint orange, Tristan cried this morning wanting his oragne boat.

This is your official invite to RAD's birthday party.

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 10:35:34 from 152.26.230.60

I saw you were coming, and that party's not big enough for the both of us, partner.

From RAD on Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 13:35:46 from 67.171.119.50

Burt, you really think I wouldn't invite my own sister!! What kind of person do you think I am? :)

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 13:51:19 from 152.26.230.60

Am I going mad, or did the word "think" escape your lips?

From Burt on Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 14:40:36 from 71.216.109.214

I wouldn't invite my sister. And she lives with me!

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 18:07:33 from 67.238.139.242

Brent- Home Depot (boat depot) is having a sale on orange paint. Tell Tristan we'll be setting sail soon. Hope to be able to dock in Cozumel for the IM.

Terri- gnat protein shake:-)

RAD- it's your party but I will cry if I want to!

Burt- Sister Wives are not real sisters!!
