I'm a tall drink of water, I need to stretch my legs

Things are good, the girls all went to the Lincoln Park Zoo today because it was really nice out most of the day.

I was able to get my run in and just about finished before they all returned home.

Still working on the new McIerney book, and also watched slightly over 2 of the 3 hours of KING KONG. I do not undertsand why this film was rated PG-13 it should be rated R, there is so much graphic violence. I did not know that Naomi Watts (of Mullholand Driive and 21 Grams fame) was in the film. The special effects are outstanding and aside from a few totally distrubing death scenes I am enjoying it.

Tomorrow night will be an incredibly long night as I am going to Chicago after work and will need to kill time reading and listening to my iPod before seeing Robert Pollard at 10pm. I am hoping he only plays for 2 hours rather than his usual 3-31/2 hour long show as I am tired.

I think I am getting better conditioned from all the running, I have done 24 miles per week a few times. My weekly running so far is:

Sunday 8
Monday day off
Tuesday 3 in morning and then 90 minutes ice skating
Wednesday 2
Thursday 3.25

So am up to 16.25. I am thinking of just doing 20 this week, and then a long run again on Sunday if possible.

N is doing well at listening and we are happy about it but we continue to have trouble with J not listening. She basically does whatever she wants, or does things at her own pace regardless of any repurcussions. A. and I are talking to try and figure out what we can do to get J to eat her dinner and have good manners, it is tough.
