Hi my name is Sara...

.....and i am a workaholic,


I just can't say no.  An extra project at work?  SURE!  Freelance on the side??  Sign me up!  Volunteer?? How could i say no?


I had a pretty jam-packed weekend.  I had a lovely but freezing cold 11 mile run on Saturday.  (cut back week FTW!)  Then i went and got groceries so that Matt and i stop snacking on random things instead of making dinner.  Then i did the laundry and cleaned.  By the time i was done, it was time to meet up with my fellow wolf-pack mate ashley who was in town.  We went record shopping and scored some Bob Seger to cheer up Matt:


We found it at Logan Hardware, which consenquently has a free vintage arcade in a secret back room.  When you buy a record you are allowed entry into this secret room!  I played frogger and donkey kong

Afterwards, we went to our favorite pizza spot Boiler room for some PB&J's  (pizza, beer & jameson shots.


On sunday i ended up working all morning, skipping cross-training and yoga.  I suck.  Then i had to prep the house for book club - major cleaning and cooking.  I ended going to bed well past midnight every night (which is unheard of for me!!) 


Which brings me to my current predicament.  I am doing some freelance work on the side for a week.  The downside is that it is time consuming, so i am losing sleep, and slacking at running (and blogging and everything else)  The plus side is that i am basically paying for my trip to Ireland in the fall.  


Would you submit yourself to a week of hell with the promise of a future vacation?  Am i bananas?  Either way, this is all i have time to write because i am SLAMMED!

  3. If it was only a week and it was going to pay me a large enough sum to do something I'd been dreaming of? You bet I'd put a social life and working out on hold!
