Here are a few winning and losing moments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WINNING &#8211; 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.<\/li>\n<li>LOSING &#8211; The Cowboys. Really, guys?<\/li>\n<li>WINNING &#8211; The eight-months-pregnant woman who also medaled in the 5k. I assume she didn&#8217;t run the whole way if at all, but she got out there and finished it.<\/li>\n<li>LOSING &#8211; My Baylor Bears. It&#8217;s becoming clear that despite our star quarterback&#8217;s prodigious talent and video-game-level stats, we can&#8217;t be a top-tier team without a significant upgrade to the defense.<\/li>\n<li>WINNING &#8211; Our new Dyson vacuum came in from WOOT! I&#8217;m actually excited about using it. Brenden keeps begging me to set up the new &#8220;gack-ume&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>WINNING (and then dying repeatedly) &#8211; A ridiculously hard and awesome adventure RPG called Dark Souls comes out on Tuesday. It&#8217;s a sister game of sorts to one of my all-time favorites, Demon&#8217;s Souls. <\/li>\n<li>LOSING &#8211; We currently use AT&#038;T for both internet and wireless. I got some junk mail from them over the weekend that said something like, &#8220;Since you already use AT&#038;T for your internet service, we invite you to try AT&#038;T wireless with this special offer.&#8221; Sigh.<\/li>\n<li>WINNING &#8211; I listened (and sang along with) the entire two-disc recording of Les Miserable, original London cast. And it was glorious.<\/li>\n<li>WINNING &#8211; When Jonathan sees me after I&#8217;ve been asleep or away, he now says &#8220;Dada!&#8221; and runs over to give me a hug.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How was your weekend?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Charlie Sheen is winning, then someone needs to fix the &#038;^!@*$ scoreboard. &#8211; The Charlie Sheen Roast on Comedy Central We&#8217;ve had an interesting weekend.
