Megan and I went jogging for a bit yesterday evening. Actually, we’ve gotten decent exercise the last two days in a row… both evenings were spent in Moore park, which Danielle suggested and Megan and I have taken a liking to. There isn’t much there in terms of nature and/or wildlife (proliferation of bunnies, which is Ames-wide, aside), but the paths are perfect for making good time on. Saturday, we didn’t jog at all, because we didn’t know the paths were going to be so perfect for it, and I was wearing a rather (too) well-fitting pair of jeans. So instead, we walked around the park (literally around, since the paths stick to the perimeter) for a couple of miles, then walked around campus for an additional couple of miles. Sunday evening, we did jog a bit, but not an excessive amount. We decided to only run until we were tired and shagged out, and not past that point. I figure, we have a better chance of coming back to do it again if we do it that way.
My redesign of the Statistics website is roughly 75% done, which is good, since it’s due this Friday. Unfortunately, I didn’t work on it nearly as much as I should have this weekend, so I’m going to need to bust my bottom sometime this week getting everything done. Even more unfortunately, I’m not going to have all my evenings free this week for such purposes. It’s not that I’m super-busy or anything, I guess. I’m just being more social this week. Tonight, I’m heading to Nat’s for a Pasta Party (whatever ~that~ means…). Either tomorrow night or Wednesday night, our neighbor Trisha is coming over for an evening of revelry whilst her significant other is away. And, Friday, I hope to go out with friends, since I haven’t the last two weekends in a row, but I guess that’s past the deadline anyway and therefore moot to the point I was making. What was that point again? Oh, yeah. Website. Long paragraph short: It’s looking good, just gotta get it done.
Yesterday was Father’s day, so happy belated Father’s day, Father. *g* Of course, he’s on vacation with Mother for the rest of this week, so he won’t see this until (at the earliest) then, and probably never. So my belated nature hasn’t screwed things up this time.
Yesterday was also my ex-roommate Justin’s birthday, so Happy Belated Birthday ex-roommate Justin, and Happy Justin’s Belated Birthday everyone else.
Yesterday was also ALSO the one-year anniversary of Megan and I getting back together after spending a couple of months sorta-but-not-really apart. Technically, we were broken up at the beginning of the summer until June 15th. I say technically, because neither of us saw other people, and we continued to see each other. We had plenty of good excuses to do so: for the first few weeks following our break-up, Megan was boarding with my grandparents. When she moved out of my grandparent’s house, it was to move into a new apartment… with my sister. :) So we always had lots of excuses to see each other. Not that we wouldn’t have made new ones up if there weren’t already convenient reasons. *g* So anyway, Happy Belated One-Year Anniversary of Megan and Me Making Official Again That Which Was Previously Unofficial. I can see why they don’t have cakes for such occasions… there’s no way anyone would ever write that in frosting. :)
Guess what? I should be able to get my new PDA soon. I’m scouring eBay as I type. I’m sure you’re as breathless with anticipation as I am. :) I got my first healthy paycheck of the summer Friday, so I can finally afford my new electronic necessity. *g* I should get a WiFi card around the same time, and since campus is quite nicely covered with wireless access, I should be able to blog just about anytime. :) Assuming the battery can hold out a full day.
Stay tuned…

I demand that you update every day, every three hours preferrably. With this new job, I find myself bored when things slow down. ;p
Make it so,
