Frozen Pizza from my couch

When: 9/17/09

Where: My couch

I was pretty ready for a night of doing nothing. I left work on the early side, which lead to getting stuck in some traffic. I then got my haircut that was much needed. I decided to eat the frozen pizza in my freezer and watch the UEFA Champions League games I had recorded early in the week as well as the new episode of the office. I also caught some of celebrity jeopardy and I must say that Wolf Blitzer is an idiot.

The pizza was nice, hot, crispy and delicious. Having purchased a pizza stone this summer I feel like my frozen pizza eating will be of a higher quality this year.

The quality of the champions league however was lacking. The last three games I have watched on TV (DC United @ San Juan, Barcelona @ Inter Milan, Manchester United @ Besiktas) were all snoozers. I was especially disappointed in Barcelona. I know that the teams I support should be boring away form home (Man, DC United) but Barcelona is supposed to be a free flowing attacking soccer.

First Week Back at Work = Lots of Pizza

Monday 8/31

Where: The Ugly Mug

Trivia Night

Who: Garretthubb and coworkers

My coworker Kevin invited me out for trivia night at his local bar the ugly mug. They have 1/2 price pizza and pitchers. The trivia night was pretty fun, but our team did awful on the "Cop Shows of the '80s" category.

I had one slice of somebodies pizza. It was a white pizza with tomato slices. It was not very good, but at 1/2 price one can't complain too loudly.

When: 9/4

Where: West Potomac

Who: garretthubb and other coworkers

My coworker Kelley is having her 2nd child soon so we threw her a baby shower. We ordered up some pizzas and had gifts. I think the pizza was from dominos. It was bad even for dominos. However, some other coworkers made delicious treats like cake and cookies.

Kelley got some cool gifts for the baby shower. Her expected child is a little girl, so there were some very cute clothes for the fashionable little one. Actually, I have no idea if they are cute or not, but I followed every ones lead and said "ahhhhhh" at the correct times.

9/5

Where: Crystal City Double Tree Hotel

Who: Garretthubb, a whole lot of other runners.

I ran the Arlington County 9-11 memorial 5k on Saturday. It was possible the worst race ever. I felt like crap the whole race. My legs didn't work properly and I cramped up. I have no idea why this happened and I am extremely disappointed in my time. I am hoping for some redemption when I run an 8k next month.

After the race there was pizza/water/beer for race participants. I had a slice of pizza. I think I was so mad at myself for my terrible run that I really have no idea how the pizza tasted.
