It’s time for me to get caught up with my blog posts.
About a week or two before Christmas, I did the Jingle Bell Run. I was most definitely not in shape for this race, even though it was a 3k. It was nice to just be active. I ran far enough ahead to not get trampled by the pack before I started walking. It took about 30 mins to finish the 3k. Here’s a picture of Ben and I after the run.
This past weekend, people in Tallahassee overdosed on their stupid juice. They heard a silly rumor about some oil rigs in the Gulf being knocked out by Hurricane Ike. These Tallahassians gave this bit of news, as well as a glass of ridiculous, to their friends and family. With that, there was a mad dash for gas on Friday, for fear of a gas shortage. By the end of the weekend, what they feared most had occurred. There was a gas shortage.
Few gas stations were slowly getting more gas, but once someone heard about gas being available, that station was slammed and depleted. I had been driving around with less than a quarter tank of gas since the weekend. To preserve the little gas I had left, I decided to work from home. This was a refreshing change from my windowless office at work. I could look out an open window and breathe in fresh air.
Good news. I was able to get a full tank of gas this morning. Back to the office tomorrow.

This past Saturday, I discovered one of the better things Tallahassee has to offer. Po Boys’ Crawfish Fest. I love crawfish. My mom used to order crawfish, from I do not know where, and boil them up. I could eat tons and tons of crawfish.
This Crawfish Fest hit the spot. Although, I was not a big fan of the $10 cover to get into this block party. It cost $7 for a box of crawfish. I definitely wish it was $7 all-you-can-eat Crawfish Fest, but hey you can’t always get what you want.
They had some good live music going on too. This will be added to my short list of the things Tallahassee has going for itself.
Crawfish Fests, thumbs up.
