Good Things:

1. I made Lasagna for the first time and it came out SO GOOD!!! I don't know what about it was "diet", but I choose to remain ignorant and full of Lasagna.

2. It's snowing! This is the most snow we've gotten since we moved here.

3. Babies. Lots of babies.

4. My baby is all about raspberries (the kind that just make noise, not the kissing ( Read more... )

Sesame Street has lost so much cred with me over the years (since I obviously have been watching all this time) with all the PC hooplah and Murry and his little Spanish speaking lamb who had a little bow. I still watch because Nat Kat really likes Elmo and sometimes, they do something that just makes me happy. Like today. One skit was "Law and ( Read more... )

Oh my goodness I ran 5 miles!!!! *runs around flailing arms*

Ok so not 5 consecutive miles, but I only walked for about 1.5 miles. Yay!! I'm very sore now though.

Also for yay: Free donuts, sale at Jcrew, babiesbabiesbabies, Winnie the Pooh Valentines card, Turkey Cobb Salad.

On the yay note, everyone is pregnant. 2 people at my church, my sister-in ( Read more... )

But first! We are coming to California right after Easter!! Yay ( Read more... )

Baby Dot and I went to Storytime at Barnes and Noble today. It was fun, and I was really surprised that she actually sat through the two books they read, even pointing and making vague noises when the reader showed her the pictures. We also bought a Dr. Seuss book on our way out, which Baby Dot quickly "personalized" on the way home. Anyways, it ( Read more... )

I went from running 20 minutes, to gasping through 17 minutes, and now...a whopping 13. I need to run 13 MILES not MINUTES. Do you hear me you sad excuse for a set of lungs? Hmph.

I will forge on despite my inability to breath for the sake of Irish Stew. And a little for the beer.

Yeah, I didn't do as well on my second round. I ran for *almost* 2 miles, but the meatloaf in my stomach said no. This tends to happen to me, I always do great the first time I go back to working out after a nice long break, and then my second time back helps me remember why I thought working out was HARD. But no matter. I am still doing it!!!

I. Ran. 2. Miles. I'm not sure I've ever done that in my life! Linkin Park is the best running coach and here's why.

Relevant lyrics-

Track 1:  "A face that laughs every time they fall" Don't fall down on the treadmill.

Track 2: "I need a little room to breathe" Crap I think I have asthma.

"shut up shut up shut up shut up!!!" Ok! Ok! I don ( Read more... )

Remember Turner and Hooch? And how he took Hooch to every room and laid down the house rules and explained that each of the rooms in the house were not Hooch's? Babies are similar in many ways, especially in how they too do not understand what is theirs and what is not.

What is not yours:
-dog food
-my hair (it even has the "my" in front of it, that ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever had a New Years resolution, besides when I quit the chewing tobacco. BUT this year, I actually have a few:

1. Participate in a half marathon for more than half a mile. Actually RUN in said half marathon.

2. Read more. I have a crazy long list to attend to - Julia Child's My Life in France , To Kill a Mockingbird, Bed and Board ( Read more... )
