captain random.

Lots and lots and lots of random thoughts swirling about in my head... this post to be updated as i remember more as the day goes on...

Whenever I am snuggly and warm in bed, I find it increasingly difficult to remember the complete awesomeness that is an early morning jog. Begrudgingly I managed to get OUT of bed this morning and completed a solid run in the brisk fall air.... and it was, again, amazing. It hurts, and the first mile is hard, and running later in the morning kinda sucks bc there is more traffic that I have to stop/slow for at intersections, but really I can't think of many things that make me feel better and stronger than a good run. Pacing was a little off, but thats okay.

4.5 miles (maybe a little less)/52 minutes

Last night was ANOTHER (and the last) celebration of the one year anniversary of the opening of my facility. It was quite a nice arrangement. We had several different "live" food prep stations, including:

• Asian bistro with cashew chicken, jasmine rice, and gyoza
• carving station with BBQ brisquet, coleslaw, mini rolls
• HUGE ice sculpture with oysters on the halfshell, prawns with cocktail sauce, crab dip, smoked sturgeon with cream cheese and capers
• Caesar salad station with dressing made from scratch
• Fruit sabayon
• Hundreds of passed hours d'ovours
• An ENTIRE ROOM dedicated to desserts in the 24th skylounge (I can't attest to what was up there due to my utter avoidance of sweets)

There was a full band in the main hall, and a pianist in the secondary lobby with the plated hours d'ovoures. I worked the whole thing but I've said it before, working an event is a nice change of pace from the monotony of medical charting.

Sweet kirsten got stuck in an elevator for an HOUR and a HALF during the event!! Poor thing.

Speaking of Kirsten, she linked me to this AMAZING blog which is sure to start taking up more of my time than is prudent... it makes me jealous and it makes me want to be able to do this kind of blogging too.

Been thinking about taking a photography class. Need to learn to use all the nice equipment that I own.
