11 days til Christmas, 11 weeks til baby, and today is Jamie's birthday! It's been a great weekend... Friday night we relaxed at home and Jamie cooked an authentic "Aussie Lamb Roast." Yesterday I slept in until 10:45am (I NEVER do that!) while Jamie went over to the shopping center and got a Christmas tree. He did most of the decorating this year, and it's so nice to have our house smelling all piney. This morning I got up at 6:15am and headed downtown for the Jingle All The Way 10K. The weather was fabulous (not TOO cold, and it was bright and sunny) and the running crowd was great -- when we ran under the metro overpass, the whole crowd starting singing Jingle Bells -- it always amazes me how we end up in the same key! -- and the runners were all decked out in Santa hats, reindeer ears, etc. Lots of fun. My 10K time stunk, okay, I admit I have totally slacked off in the longer runs (like anything over 3 miles) so I can't really complain. I think I finished in 76 minutes. Blech. But I'm pregnant, that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.
Jamie and I are headed out tonight to Ray's the Steaks which supposedly has some of the best tasting steaks in DC. This is his birthday present (that and I also went to World Market and got some Aussie wine, candy bars, vegemite, and licorice.) Our last birthday without baby. Our last Christmas without baby in a week and a half. I can't believe this is our 8th Christmas together... time flies.
