GOTR 2009 5k

Our Girls On The Run 5k was today. I coached again this year and oh my. Middle School girls.... ummmmmm yeah. woooo.

You can see the black bandanas our school RP got for the girls. I'm going to bring silver and gold Sharpies to our party Thursday and have the girls sign mine and I'll wear it on my 3Day walk this summer.

Here's DD and S showing of their certificates that they finished the race. All the girls ran most of the way, which I was happy about. Practices haven't gone all that well, so I was pleasantly surprised.

I Have Pink Shoes

They are bright! Very bright pink, the pic doesn't do them justice.



Oh and the quilt raffle starts this week, I will be printing out tickets today.

Added the pic one of the girls took at the last training walk.

Green Acres

These pics were taken on the 7th. The first one is my beans, second is zucchini cucumbers and cherry tomatoes, the third is a close up of the cherry tomatoes

These were taken today!!! My beans are getting so big! How big before I have to transplant them? Anyone know? I want to wait as long as possible to put them out in the garden. Last year we had frost right up til Memorial Day.

Quilt raffle coming soon

Spring may finally be here

I took Morgan for a 3 mile walk this morning! I think Spring may finally be here. Yay!!! The walk felt pretty good. After the 6 miler last weekend, I pulled a muscle in the back of my right leg down to my knee. It hurt, it stung. It was a little tight today and I can feel it now, but no where near as much pain. I'm going to try and do another 3 miles tomorrow before I start cooking the Easter ham.

Oh and speaking of Spring, LOL, I helped DBF set up a blog this morning.

Need to go shopping

Had my first training walk today. I did 6 miles along Lake Michigan. It didn't snow, but dang it was cold!

About mile 4 my feet started to talk to me. They didn't like my socks. So I need to go shopping. Only a few pairs though. I plan on buying a very good pair of walking sandals when/if the weather ever changes over. I think I'm finally going to buy the Keens I've been lusting after.

Here comes the Lion

March came in like a lamb... so here comes the lion.

Rain mixed with snow all weekend. Cold wet and dreary! I am soooooo tired of winter! Seriously. I do NOT want to buy more bags of pellets. It will be April next week, we shouldn't have to be running the pellet stove!

I know some of you on the east coast had March come in like a lion, how's it going out?

Mommy & Daddy

No, not mine. Yours.

What do you call them?

Is saying Daddy a southern thing? Yes, yes you know why I'm asking. Yes, yes I know I should ignore her. I do!!! 98% of the time I scroll right past her posts without reading them. But every once in awhile a word here and there will jump out before I can scroll past. And lately it's "Daddy this" and "Daddy that" that jumps out and I want to ask her how old she is. But maybe it's a southern thing?

Is it?

Yes I'm asking you Boo, since you're our resident southern dimwit. *grin*

Dear Mother Nature

Next week is the first day of Spring. Do you think you could possibly start acting like it?

Thankyou.

60 Miles doesn't scare me

It's the fundraising! Ack! *thud* I'm so not a sales person.

So yes, I have added the donate widget to this blog, my health blog and my craft blog.

I was reading the message boards at 3 day.org and seeing all the ideas for fundraising... and got overwhelmed.

My craft day with my girlfriends is this weekend. A couple of them have done craft shows, so I plan on picking their brains Sunday.

Why? Let me tell the why, that I am doing this. My Mom. *waves to yoopernurse* She is a 12 year(right? It's been 12 years? Ayla is 13) survivor of breast cancer. Breast cancer can be hereditary so I want them to continue their research.

(oh and Kimmer begged me. LOL)

Pandora Radio

I added a new app to my addiction down there. *points* It's Pandora Radio, but guess what? You can listen and use it online too. It's free!

How it works. You type in an artist, song or genre and it builds a radio station based on that. You can rate the songs it comes up with with a thumbs down or up (that helps the server choose the next songs). The only thing is, you can only skip so many songs an hour. But it's free. Free music on your computer anywhere.

Oh and you can shuffle between your personal radio stations too.

Check it out.

New Addiction

Oh my. Ummmmm. Good thing it's almost the weekend. I splurged my mileage check on an iTouch today. This thing is awesome!!! DD is sooooooo jealous. She's mad that she didn't know about this thing before Christmas. She would have asked for one instead of the new Nano.

I've only download a few applications so far but one was BeJeweled 2. I'm addicted. I love that game. I used to play for hours on my old computer. Now I can play on my iTouch!

I downloaded a free treadmill workout on it, extremely cool. I'm going to see how I like running to audiobooks next. *skip*

Bonus! I'm a super cool Mom now.

RIP Grandma

Darc sent me this pic to post on my blog. It's a picture of my grandma with her best friend.

My paternal grandma passed away yesterday morning. She was 94. Can you imagine all the changes she saw the world go through?

RedBox?

Anybody use Redbox? I've had a couple peeps suggest it and I see *gasp* we actually have a location by me! Shocking! So do you Redbox it?

Maybe it's a sign?

I've been thinking about buying myself an iTouch.

hmmmmmmm I wonder how much they'll be marked down at Circuit City?

I feel bad for the 34,000 losing their jobs. Especially those here, since our town already ranks #1 in the nation in jobs lost. *sigh*

So the only ray of sunshine may be that I get a good deal on a new toy for me. Maybe?

It may be a two glass day

Two glasses of wine that is. Gah. I hate W2s. In fact. Nobody say that word to me for about two months. OK?

Anything and everything that could go wrong went wrong today. That full box of envelopes I thought I had to use with 3-up W2s? There was five envelopes in there. Five!!!! *pulls more hair out*

What not to wear?

I need a personal shopper. I'm tired of looking messy/frumpy. Over half of my clothes right now are 2-3 sizes to big for me... yet I still wear them. Why? Because I hate clothes shopping! Hate it. I have no clue what to buy, what looks good on me. *sigh*

DD and I are going shopping this weekend. I plan on atleast getting a new pair of jeans that fit. But I'm askeered that, that is ALL I will come home with. I always start out with good intentions and then get frustrated trying things on.

Can anybody help me? Or am I beyond help.


Bravie and darcidoe do NOT need to answer that last question.

Boooooooo Cookies!

I have Boo Cookies! *hops around*

I also got my OT SS package yesterday, yesterday was a good day.


Is everyone ready for Christmas? I have some more baking tonight to do. I want to bring some goodies up north with me this weekend. I haven't wrapped any of DD's presents yet. Need to do that some day.

We're supposed to be getting a major storm tonight/tomorrow. We'll see. They haven't been right lately. If they're right on this one they said 6-12 inches. Ack!

For Darcidoe, a pic of the snow she got last night.

Did you hear that?

I think I heard some cookies crumbling!!!

Let's hear it? Who's got cookies!?!?!?!

I plan on doing my baking this weekend.
