This entry will serve as an update of sorts. I have been going along with my normal Andrea things-- svelting, cooking, scouting and reading and they are all coming to a pinacle. This weekend Steph, ET#1 and I ran the Corrib Pub 5K, as part of an Ultimate Svelte Challenge. For Steph and myself, this was our first race. Although in an effort to back out last minute should I need to, I did not register so have no official time. I did eat an official hot dog after the race. My time was about 35 minutes (to run, not to eat the hot dog).
With G working this weekend, I had the apartment to myself so took the opportunity to clean out the fridge and bake bread and roast a chicken. Nothing too exciting. What is exciting is the amount of time I spent reading! For every book I read off my list-of-books-that-are-gathering-dust-on-my-shelf list, I get to post to my new shared blog, A Shelf Full of Books! It promises to be nearly as exciting as Fruit Cart updates and vacation photos.
Finally, next weekend I will go camping with the girlscouts. Since I never was a girlscout, I am winging it (but have very capable co-leaders as well as one actual parent), but hope that my neurotic planning will at least leave us with plently of food and activities. Should anyone have anything they want to share/suggest about scout camping, please leave a comment!
About Me
- Zandrea!
- The friendship of Zara and Andrea (together, Zandrea!) is as varied as the range of letters between A and Z. Andrea is a committer to plans, and plans must be made. Whether it be a quiet dinner in or a weekly bar night with the ladies, Andrea likes to fill her social calendar. Nights in might include reading a book or a New Yorker, but would rarely entail tv watching (although a well-groomed Netflix list is a must). She is a member of many frequent flier "clubs", but due to her democratic nature, refuses to cash in for the upgrade, instead hoping for that elusive (just waiting for those additional 15,000 miles) future trip around the world. Zara is going to update her information when she finds the time.

I think it needs to be mentioned that the reason you came in at 35 mins on the run was because you're a good friend and stuck with me! I'm sure you would have had a faster time if you'd left me behind and sped off! Thank you:)
