I've been so very busy recently. I know that I *want* to blog, but the desire goes right out the window when it comes to actually doing it! It doesn't help that I've got so many things going on this summer. I'm the programmer juggling chainsaws (Trinity reference!)
We had a relatively quiet weekend last week. I managed to spend Saturday relaxing in my comfy pants. Sunday was a different kettle of fish. I was up at the crack of dawn to force feed myself porridge and cadge a lift from Kev. We both took part in the Race Series Fingal 10km. I freely admit that some of us did better than others.. and everyone did better than me :/ However, I persevered and managed to make it to the line within 30 seconds of my previous Personal Best. Not too shabby for a hot muggy day!
When we finally got home, two hours later, darn matches in Croke Park! I had a lovely bath and some lunch before heading out the door again. Myself and Thom were able to sneak in some shopping and some fantastic Vietnamese food in Pho Ta in Temple Bar. I heartily recommend it, it tasted exactly like the food we ate while we were over there, but cleaner! :)
After dinner, we headed over to our old haunts to meet Siobhan and Co. She booked us all tickets to see Monty Python Live (Mostly) being streamed to the Screen Cinema from the O2 in London. There are far too many sketches I haven't seen yet!
Apart from that, work has been a bit mental. As well as everything else, we're hiring! So I get to help with the interviews, joy! :/
I can't wait until this weekend. The only plans I have is drinks on Friday, one of my friends is leaving her job, and having a long run at some point, hopefully Saturday morning.
The following weekend, myself and Thom are taking advantage of the lull in our social calendars and flitting off to Ballina for a long weekend of pampering in The Ice Hotel. I can't wait! :D
Then we'll be having Baby Showers, 30ths, Weddings, more races, normal birthdays and Thom's return to college. I need a summer holiday just to keep up with this summer!

Bad blogging
I'm such a bad blogger, I never did manage to keep up with diaries for more than a month or two..
I've also been absolutely shattered recently by moving flat.
As well as the summer of parties carrying on!
Last weekend was the HAG. Hen + Stag = HAG. Sandra and Aislinn are getting married in six weeks time, so myself and Thom hopped on a train from Dublin to middle of nowhere.
It was great fun! The highlight was definitely Boda Borg. Myself and Thom teamed up with Siobhan and Karl. We didn't attempt any of the physical-only challenges, but we spent an hour going through the mental-only and the mental/physical challenges. It sounds bad, we only got two stamps. However, we got the highest stamp count of any of the groups! Kev's team got one stamp, everyone else we talked to got none. We were close on getting a third stamp, but we spent too long trying to figure out the last room and it timed out on us :( I'd definitely love to give it another go. It's a pity there isn't one closer to Dublin!
Our new flat is working out great. We've almost got everything sorted now. There's just a few random things littering the coffee table which need to be sorted away and a few more dishes to do (everything was wrapped in cheap newspaper so has to be hand-washed before we put it away), but we seem to have happily settled in now. :)
