Day Four of the Pam and Kristina Week O’ Fun was yesterday. And fun it was! We took the streetcar downtown, then went to the aquarium, then got daiquiris and strolled around the French Quarter. It was a (mostly) beautiful day, we went to the French market and then to lunch (raw oysters…mmmm!) and then to Pat O’Briens for a hurricane (where we met some nice ladies from Minnesota who taught us how to speak Minnesotan) and then to the casino to gamble only $2, then we took the ferry to the West Bank to go to pub quiz night. Ren and Gary met us there. Of course our team lost every round, but oh well. One day…

Today was Gary’s Hippocratic Oath ceremony, but dear God did it last forever. We didn’t even stay for the oath, we left after Gary got hooded. Then we had to clean the house because Kristina’s mom and her friend came in town. And they’re at dinner now, so a quiet night for Pam.

But not tomorrow night…Kristina’s got her graduation at 4, then dinner, then we’re all going out. But it’ll be lots of fun because Kettie’s coming in. Yay! Haven’t seen her in a few months. Or at least 6 weeks. Well, whatever. It’ll still be great to see her.

I haven’t run at all this week. Sigh. It’s the cold. And it kind of interfered with the PAKWOF, but at least we walked a lot yesterday. Ha ha! I need to get back into it next week, so I’ll be ready for the 5K we’re doing on June 2. And I definitely want to run in Central Park at some point when we’re in NYC, next weekend. Woo hoo! Exciting! Yay!

I know it may seem that my life is really boring right now, at least from what I’ve been writing on this, but it’s really been the most extraordinary month. I mean, a month ago on Tuesday, I ran a marathon. Five days later, I met George. Two weeks after that, I left my job and decided to move to Boston. Two days ago, I got a new tattoo. My life has been turned completely upside-down, and it couldn’t be better.
