Random stuff...

I'm working on another (probably really long) post about running, which hopefully I'll post in a day or two. But for now, here are a few random thoughts:

I thought I'd better post SOMEthing, since I've been such a blog slacker this week. But I've been busy with a lot of random stuff... like driving out to the suburbs just to get tater tots at Sonic... and dusting every surface of my condo, which collects dust much too quickly... and watching a two-and-a-half hour long Indian movie which was about a third in English and two-thirds in No Subtitles (I got the general idea... if I hadn't, I would've been writing a blog post instead of spending the afternoon watching the movie...).

So we just found out that we might have ANOTHER leaky pipe in our condo, this time in the bathroom. The guy doing renovations downstairs called last week and asked if anyone had been showering sometime between 4 and 5... which is usually right after my workout, so no doubt it was me. Apparently every time we run our shower, the place downstairs is leaking. We've been thinking about redoing our outdated bathroom anyway, but I don't think we expected to do any remodeling this soon. Needless to say, we'll be using the guest shower for a while. (Please tell me that when I use the guest shower, the guy downstairs won't call to say the ceiling in his guest bathroom is leaking...)

Like I mentioned above, we drove out to the suburbs over the weekend, just for the fun of it. We found a Sonic, ate some tater tots, and wandered around grassy neighborhoods with million-dollar houses. Rick says he misses having a lawn, but I'm not at the "lawn-missing" stage yet -- I still like my city condo. But I suppose eventually, even I might want more space or peace and quiet. (And I wouldn't mind getting another dog, but I definitely don't want one while we're downtown...) So who knows where we'll be in a few years...

I am completely obsessed with Sriracha hot sauce right now. I can't believe it took me so long to try the stuff -- I've seen it in Asian restaurants for years and years, but never so much as dipped a grain of rice into the fiery concoction. But now, I can't get enough of it. Tonight, I'm thinking about making chicken marinated in Sriracha, soy sauce and garlic...

And speaking of running, and showering, and dinner -- I need to go take care of all three of those things, probably in that exact order... otherwise things'll get weird...

Haven't had the opportunity to eat at Sonic yet, even though we have two locations here in Connecticut that people go ga-ga over.

Last week I was able to drive by one of them and was able to get a very good look at it. Interesting concept to say the least.

Yeah, I think they're supposed to be reminiscent of the 50s, when people brought food to your car (or so I've heard... :)). We used to have one just outside our neighborhood in Austin that we visited once in a while -- but here, they're only out in the suburbs, so it takes us 30 minutes to get to one. But that's okay, because pretty much EVERYthing on their menu is bad for you, so I wouldn't want to go very often... :)
