A List of Excuses for Why I Haven't Been Blogging

1. The Olympics are on, and I am obsessed. I mean, who can get enough of men in outfits encrusted with sequin snakes or watching Shaun White do a Double McTwist 1260 when he doesn't even need to do it to win a gold medal? I love this stuff.
2. I am training for the Cowtown Half Marathon, which takes place this Saturday, and the Dallas Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon, which takes place on March 14. If the wind would stop blowing and the snow would stop falling, I would probably be a lot more motivated.
3. David just ran the Cross Timbers Trail Marathon. No, I did not go with him, but just listening to the story about his 6-hour race made me exhausted (and he still went to the gym and swam today -- no wonder I feel like a slacker).
4. The final season of Lost, Project Runway, and all my other favorite shows.
5. Our new obsession with the Movie Tavern right down the street from the building where I work. This place rocks -- in the last few weeks, we've seen Up in the Air, Sherlock Holmes, Crazy Heart and Valentine's Day.
6. My gym drama. On three days in the last two weeks, I have waited over 15 minutes for a parking spot. Not for a treadmill, but for a parking spot. I am currently composing my scathing "I quit" letter to my gym and trying out other places.
7. We're going to Spain. We have wanted to do this for so long, and we finally committed to doing it. I have spent every waking hour reading three different guide books and planning our week-long trip to Madrid and Andorra la Vella. I cannot believe we are actually getting to do this; we have dreamed of it for so long.

At some point, I will post pictures of our Christmas vacation and I hope to do some posts while we are on vacation.
