What the Fudge???

On Saturday morning, I woke up early, worked out and realized the temperature was going to hit 90 degrees in Philly. I fed the boys and decided to take them to the Indoor Water Park at my pool for a few hours.

As soon as I got them in the pool and settled into a nice seat to observe them, the gentleman sitting next to me leaned over and said ‘Miss, are you going to be here for a while?”

In my head, I figured he was a dad that either had to go to the restroom or forgot something in the car.

“I just got here, so I will be here.”

“I need to run to the Post Office, can you keep an eye on my kids?”

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH.

Uh Dude? Seriously?

“How many children are you here with?”

“Three”

“Well, I am so sorry. I don’t know you and I do not feel comfortable being responsible for three children in addition to my own at a pool where anything can happen. Perhaps you can go to the Post Office when you leave here with your kids rather than leave them with a complete stranger?”

“Uh. Ok I’ll just ask someone else.”

“Great!”

I sent Mr. 1969 a text and he told me to move immediately and do not sit next to that disturbed azz man. LOL

I didn’t give it a second thought until I read the news yesterday. In one day, I read a story about:

The Face eating man in Miami

The Wrestler that cut open someone and threw his heart in a wood burning stove because he ingested mushrooms and it made him think he had to save the man from the devil.

The man that cut off his own *ahem*….goodies and then cooked them and served them to his party guests.

The man who threw his intestines at the police in New Jersey.

The Woman who ate her baby’s brain.

Yeah…all in one day. So if someone approaches you with any foolishness…it’s not a bad idea to pay attention to the voice in your head that tells you to keep it moving. Maybe I watch too much Walking Dead but the zombie apocalypse may be closer than we think.

Catching Up

Since I last posted, I attended my 25th High School Reunion in New York and looked pretty fab if I do say so myself. Here I am with my equally hot best friend…See?

I returned home and decided on MONDAY to run the Broad Street Run in Philly that SUNDAY. The furthest I have ever run is 8 miles and I have only done that once. Well, I figured, why not? In my head I figured that if it got really rough, I could just walk. I found somebody who couldn’t run and they sold me their spot. Lo and behold, I ran 10 miles straight! No stopping….and I did it right at 2 hours which was my goal. Crazy right? Here I am with my soror and running buddy repping for TEAM Black Girls Run with my finishers medal.

In addition to all of this activity, we celebrated Tali 2′s Birthday last week. My baby turned 7. He went from cupcake smashing and goldfish killing to being an “A” student and one of the coolest kids in the world. I am so proud of the young man that he is becoming. Now if we could just send him to anger management classes….*sigh*

Tali 1 had orientation at his new school last week. He was so excited and I beamed with pride the entire time. This is going to be so good for him and his future. His future school is ranked on US News and World Report as the Top High School in the state of PA. He will be attending the middle school which is the feeder school for the High School. This is big! Harvard here we come.

I am also still training for this triathlon. I am able to swim 60 laps nonstop in the pool now. (I am still trying to overcome my fear of the open water). I can run 10 miles. I can muscle through the bike, I have lost about 20 pounds since training started. I think I am pretty ready to do this.

Mama 1969 had knee surgery and has bounced right back. She is up and back to work and no longer in severe pain.

Other than that….LOL…nothing new to report. What’s happening in your world?
