Winning and Losing from This Weekend

If Charlie Sheen is winning, then someone needs to fix the &^!@*$ scoreboard. – The Charlie Sheen Roast on Comedy Central

We’ve had an interesting weekend. Here are a few winning and losing moments:

  • WINNING – Me! I came in third in my division and 16th overall out of 165 at the 5K yesterday. It was a tough trail 5K with lots of ups and downs and some uneven terrain, but the weather was great.
  • LOSING – The Cowboys. Really, guys?
  • WINNING – The eight-months-pregnant woman who also medaled in the 5k. I assume she didn’t run the whole way if at all, but she got out there and finished it.
  • LOSING – My Baylor Bears. It’s becoming clear that despite our star quarterback’s prodigious talent and video-game-level stats, we can’t be a top-tier team without a significant upgrade to the defense.
  • WINNING – Our new Dyson vacuum came in from WOOT! I’m actually excited about using it. Brenden keeps begging me to set up the new “gack-ume”.
  • WINNING (and then dying repeatedly) – A ridiculously hard and awesome adventure RPG called Dark Souls comes out on Tuesday. It’s a sister game of sorts to one of my all-time favorites, Demon’s Souls.
  • LOSING – We currently use AT&T for both internet and wireless. I got some junk mail from them over the weekend that said something like, “Since you already use AT&T for your internet service, we invite you to try AT&T wireless with this special offer.” Sigh.
  • WINNING – I listened (and sang along with) the entire two-disc recording of Les Miserable, original London cast. And it was glorious.
  • WINNING – When Jonathan sees me after I’ve been asleep or away, he now says “Dada!” and runs over to give me a hug.

How was your weekend?
