Zaterdag

Zaterdag...otherwise known as Saturday...a time to relax...a time to talk to friends...a time for just plain old enjoying life. Sike.

Today and yesterday sucked. Since our butts were supposed to be at the World Cup we had to create some mad destruction to the legs. The being said, I may end up finishing last at the inaugural "Help Derrick and Natasha Event". The help needed may be to wake me up early in the morning.

Yesterday got some blood on the bars at PEAK for a zone test. Oh how I love a zone test. Nothing like going to failure and beyond. I closed my eyes for one second and everything was purple. Lately it's all purple, not black, not blue, just purple. Afterwards, I was joking with Casey(Ken's young protege) "Ken says a zone test isn't that hard, it's only really hard for a few minutes...there's no reason you can't still do your intervals after". Kevin (Ken's evil counterpart) was standing there and he said "suck it up St John". Nothing like a bunch of frigin masochistic trainers. Not that hard? Ok. More purple. So that's my story, three hours later workout complete.

Not exciting as doing the World Cup, but hey what do you want for free. Speaking of free...the race tomorrow isn't free...but you are welcome to come give donations. Natasha's parents will be there with a sign and a box and maybe a hat. Look for them, they are British. Her mom looks like her and her dad kind of looks like Sir Anthony Hopkins, except more fit looking and younger...maybe a little like Hannibal Lecter...without the mask of course...but he's a lot nicer and he most likely does not practice cannibalism...well at least I don't think so, but I'm not officially in the family yet so I can't be a 100% about that. Also he just got a new job at Lowe's in Belleville as the Head Cashier, he said Natasha and I ate so much of their food when we go over that he had to go out of retirement and get a job.

Before I forget. We had a riveting evening last night, we decided to take full advantage of the fact that the parents were gone AND MADE POPCORN! How exciting. Well I'm not sure if you've ever made popcorn the old fashion way, on the stove, in a pot with a little oil and some kernels. Well lets just say it's not as easy as it looks. I burned the pot, the corn and the house smells like smoke and the popcorn tasted like paper towels. Don't ask me how I know that. So then Natasha has the most brilliant idea of putting it in the micro wave in a square container with a round lid. Right. Well lets just say we'll be finding kernels for about the next 20 years. Anyways it actually tasted good, but it was way too much work.

Perhaps tonight we just go back to eating our plain old oats.

The little one no longer carries books because his laptop actually has [URL=http://www.thenorthfaceforsale.net/#894]north face coupons[/URL] the text books packed, so he really only needs enough space with the computer and what he calls 'his school supplies' aka: junk. Probably he'll be a little [URL=http://www.thenorthfaceforsale.net/#997]north face pro code[/URL] conscious for the mom who's to pay the bills.
