And this is how my weekend started. I took the afternoon off on Friday, as I have in the past few years on the first Friday of the tournament. The goal: Watch basketball. KU didn't play until 8:50pm though, so from 2:30 until about 8pm, I did something I don't usually do: I paced myself. After a long, yet fun, and stressful (only b/c KU was playing like crap), evening, this a summary of Friday:
Saturday: For someone who spent the previous day drinking for about 10 hours, I had no business feeling as good as I did on Saturday morning. Determined not to be a hungover piece of s**t all day, I slept in and did a few household chores before venturing out for my first outdoor run of the season. It was slightly warm, at about 38 degrees (ugh), but the sun was shining and I was ready. I ran about 1.5 miles through Lincoln Square, my favorite neighborhood in the city that happens to be just North of our house. Of course, on my way back, I ran past one of my favorite little shops and stopped in to buy a birthday gift for my girlfriend. I spent about 30 minutes longer than intended, but can you blame me?
A few gems from the store.
Sunday: Although I woke with a champagne headache, it was nothing a big breakfast couldn't cure. All I really wanted to do was curl up and relax the rest of the day to make up for how active I was on Saturday, but no: Spring Cleaning awaited. Three hours later, the kitchen, living room and bathrooms were sparkling. Nothing is better than a clean house, amIright?
I had about an hour before the KU game started, and relax I didn't - I went to the gym. This is major news, guys, as I typically do not work out on Sunday. I'm not sure what's gotten into me, but I am trying to lose some weight before this summer, so you gotta do what you've gotta do. KU pulled out a win after a horrible first half, I painted my digits, and we enjoyed some buffalo chicken that I had cooking all day. It was delish! (Get the recipe here.) And now, here I sit, enjoying a glass of wine and watching Revenge.
Next weekend, I'm off to Iowa City for Easter!
