I would do anything for love
Well, that’s what I’m listening to on my iPod currently – its cycling through my songs in an apparently random manner… I love me some Meatloaf!
We’re off for a weekend retreat in the moutains of Southern VA this weekend – its actually just over the VA border, close to the Blue Ridge Parkway – we’ve got a ‘lodge’ (just a house I think) for about 13 of us from the labs that all study similar stuff in the department – I wasn’t really looking forward to it, but now I think it might be some good times! Plus we have a better chance of getting more snow up there than we do down here! (though Winston is supposed to get snow again tonight/tomorrow anyway…) – they almost got snowed in at the retreat last year (which I skipped cause I didn’t want to drive in the snow/ice) – hopefully that won’t happen this year, but I want to get enough to at least have a snowball fight or two! 
And I went to Sams last night with a friend who’s a member, and we got a ton of food for the weekend (10 lbs of pancake mix, anyone?!?!) – Sams has awesome produce right now, fyi…
My weekend plans with Matthew fell through last weekend – but I’m hoping he can either come up or I can get home next weekend – I miss everybody when I haven’t seen them in weeks!
Oh, and I ran 3 miles on Monday!!!! That’s the most I’ve done all at one time (well, except for a 30 second break to grab a drink of water) – but its still only half of the 10k, so I’ve got to keep going to get my endurance up… maybe I can get a little running in this weekend, assuming there’s any moderately flat ground around…
