In just two days, my three-day weekend will begin. Yay! I’m sure you all are looking forward to the long weekend like I am. We don’t have too much planned besides the 10k that Joe and my brother, Randy, are running on Labor Day. This will be Randy’s first race, so I’m really excited for him. And it’ll be good for Joe’s marathon training.

Since it’s pretty early in the morning, Randy and my parents are coming down Sunday evening to spend the night. It will be the first time I’ve hosted my parents here. I really need to get cracking now on getting the office/guest bedroom straightened up. It’s become our “catch all” room where we dump everything we don’t have a place for yet. I know they’ll understand, but I still want my house to be perfect. I’m really looking forward to having a weekend that we can dedicate to getting this place organized once and for all!

I’ve been to San Francisco a couple of times, but my favorite trip by far was my high school senior class trip. We thought we were oh so cool because we were the first class to go farther than New York City and, therefore, *fly* to our destination. The trip out was a blast, since we had about half the plane in two planes, but my plane was late getting in. I don’t really remember the reason, but it was dark out when we arrived. We were starving, so my best friend and I went out with some of the guys to find dinner. It started *pouring*, and we had no idea where we were going, but we didn’t care. We thought it was hilarious that we were out late at night running through the streets of San Francisco trying to find dinner. That is definitely one of my best memories.

We saw a lot of touristy things during that week in San Fran (including the shooting of The Wedding Planner — why oh why couldn’t I have been in the group that actually met Matthew McConaughy??), but I still want to go back. We obviously have to so we can hit the Giants stadium in our quest to see all the Major League ballparks (I wish I could remember the name of it, but they all sell out their names so often I can’t keep up). Plus, I’d like to take one of the San Francisco tours there like the one from Trusted Tours and Attractions. I know they’re really touristy, but I’ve always wanted to do that in one of the big cities to make sure I see all the landmarks. I wanted to go on one the last time we were in New York so we could see things like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but we just didn’t get a chance to. Plus, their online travel guides and newsletters could probably really help me plan a great trip. And, Trusted Tours and Attractions is offering the chance to win a $150 to Magellan’s, which is a travel supply company, just for signing up for their newsletter. That could definitely go toward a new set of luggage…:)

In 36 hours, I will ovulate. I have been giving myself an injection every week for the last 5-6 years, and yet I was *so* nervous about injecting the Ovidrel tonight. I guess it’s because it’s so important. I’m afraid it won’t work. It’s pretty amazing that 50 mg of liquid can make things happen. I’m going to be full of fear and paranoia for the next two weeks. I’m just so afraid of getting my hopes up again.
