Back to Reality after Spikeville

Guess who's back?!? Back again!

After 5 glorious days of sleeping in (7 a.m. wa-hoo!!) eating my weight in Reese's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, traversing the state meeting friends and each other's families, taking a running tour of the MSU campus via the Lansing River Trail (alone mind you, because my selfish boyfriend couldn't slow down for me, geesh you'd think he was training for Boston or something?!?) moonlighting in quiet coffee shops gazing schmoopily into each other's eyes, I am back from Spikeville and faced with reality once more. *sigh*

You know your boyfriend is a runner when...

Spike: There's something different about you...

Me: Yeah? *Waits for the obvious hair comment*

Spike: You have this sub 4 hour Marathon Glow about you!

Me: LOL! So do you like the hair?

Spike: I love the hair.

I love him.

It was a perfect weekend and just makes me miss him so much more. Two months was too long and its safe to say we will never let that much time elapse between visits ever again! Now that I'm back I've got a sh*t ton of posts to catch up on so bare with me folks; I can't wait to read all the Disney Princess Half recaps and I've got some post-marathon thoughts/plans to catch ya'll up on. Stay tuned...

Yes, yes...please come back soon!!

Oh, and see you in Boston! :)

Marlene said...

You two are so shmoopy-cute! :) So glad you had a nice visit and I hope you can plan another one soon. Long distance sucks! Hopefully "Spikeville" and "reality" won't be so far apart one of these days.

LOL @ the "something different about you comment" - I can see the sub-4 glow as well. :)

You two make such a cute couple! I remember when my husband was in Washington and I was in Arizona for a couple of months. It was torture!! I hate the long distance relationship :( Glad you had a great time with him and welcome back!

jeff said...

"bare with" you?

um...i think we'll let spike fill that role.

April said...

Seriously, you two are super cute together!

Adam said...

I lol'd at the 'sub 4 glow' - followed by "I love the hair".

So, I wonder if spikeville is some magical place where everyone has horns coming out of their head like unicorns....such a magical place.

lindsay said...

If you ate YOUR weight that would be like 10 pieces. If you indulged in MY weight however, you'd still be eating them. :)

also, do you really say "LOL" in real-life conversation?

Tara said...

Oh your hair is adorable! I love it, congrats on doing the lock for love things. Awesome.

You and Spike are too cute.

Spike said...

The short hair captures and frames your perfect and beautiful eyes and smile. And I love you more, because I'm bigger and there is more than me. You can't argue physics.
