Milestone Weekend

I had 3 major milestones this weekend.
1. I cleaned and unpacked. Yes, I moved in April, and no, Im not even done unpacking yet :( BUT! I had a major unpacking accomplishment! I collect ceramic masks, have 26 in total now. For the past 2 years I have not had them up in my room, bc I wind up moving every year and it is a hassle to wrap and pack and then unwrap and arrange and hang these masks. But I decided my room was bare, so with opening football on in the background, I set to unpacking, arranging and nailing. In the process I found picture frames with pics from highschool that are now making my walls adorned. I also cleaned my whole bathroom, mopped floors, vacuumed, soooo nice in my place now!!! sooo happy! Dont' know how long it will last, but my room looks much better! and won't be embarrassed to show it to people now :)
2. I ran 7 miles on Saturday morning!!!! This is not only the farthest I have ever run in my life at one time! It is by far the farthest I have ever run in the morning, which is always harder for me to do. I just have way more energy after a day of eating. Im super in pain now, about 4 days later in my calves, but it was sooo worth it! bc now I know I can do this 1/2 marathon! heck! im over 1/2way there!!! AND to top it off, I shaved a min off my normal mile time. woohoo! maybe my normal mile time isnt so normal anymore.... :)
3. I gave up drinking alcohol. No more for me, ever. I had given up alcohol in June of 2007 for 9 months, taking a break from it; I'm not a big drinker anyways. I decided it was ok as long as I didn't have more than 1 drink. Then, I decided it was ok, as long as I didnt get drunk. Then I decided....... and so on. Well, this past weekend, I looked at myself, and questioned why I enjoyed it so much. For those of you that know me, I have a fear that one day I will be an alcoholic. So, preventative measures have been taken, once and for all.! Its bye to beer, farewell to Jackie boy. Some might think this is a tragedy. I'm actually pretty happy about it, knowing that something that gets a hold of us and changes us for the worse has just got beaten! :)

Id say it was a good weekend
