Taco Tuesday, and doing all the things!

I don't feel like having tacos today. Blah. What's wrong with me? What I feel like is running. Runnin' runnin' and runnin' runnin'.... I have to be in a swimsuit really soon and I don't feel ready. Tacos surely won't help either.

Last night I had a sweet nap, a baked sweet potato (over sweet conversation with some of my favorite sweet people), a sweet soak in a lavender bath, and a sweet bedtime. Ahhhhhh.....

I made it to the gym this morning before dawn for official week 2 of crazy workout.

Pushups, lay down pushups, medicine ball squats, tricep dips, mountain climbers, bicycles, straight leg situps w/twist, and straight leg situps. It didn't seem all that difficult, and I did modify a tiny bit to keep from bending my toe (you know, the SUP incident), but man did we sweat! Our muscles just didn't seem to want to do anything. I haven't felt that worthless and lazy in a while....it was awesome!!!!

 Run because...


I'm starting Run for God tomorrow evening with a group from my church. This is so exciting. Sunday morning on my way to service I confronted myself about not getting involved. You remember how much I used to do with the church:
  • praise team 
  • women's ministry
  • VBS
  • building ministry
  • small groups
  • Wednesday Night Live
  • Angel Tree, etc. 
I haven't joined anything at my new church, and it's been leaving a hole in there. A hole in my soul. A soul hole. So I confronted myself about it, and was ready to make a move; after service I planned to see what was on the list of available classes/groups, and pick one. Buuuuut, I got to talking too much and maybe sorta kinda forgot. Oh, but God is good. He is way ahead of me. He sent two wonderful chickadees my way, inquiring if I was in fact a runner, and if I'd like to join their Wednesday night women's bible study/running club! GAH!!!! This thrills me in ways I can't describe. I'll make R4G a regular blog update subject so you can tag along. Part of the group is planning a 1/2 marathon in September, so I'm going to train with that pace group. Eeeek! 1/2 #2 for 2015, here I come!!!!

...and I have a broken toenail just in time to start. Satan will always give us roadblocks won't he? With God on my side, I will prevail. If He is for me, who can be against me??

STUFF!



I managed to eat breakfast today, turkey bacon and waffles. ...with whipped cream...









I found this little gal on the floor in our office lounge. Strange, I didn't see any children in the waiting area yesterday....













I've been watching Parks and Recreation on my tab lately. I forgot how much I LOVE that series. I restarted at the beginning of season 1. I might not have trouble occupying myself while my dude is away. Is it sad that I'd spend my free time under a blankie watching reruns on a tablet? ....NAH!!! Yay adult!










__________________________________________________________________________

I may get to watch some djimbe on Thursday night. I'm going to visit the parental units Friday night. Brother and SIL have invited me to go on a float trip Saturday. Sunday I'll get to have lunch with the fam, and then maybe some SUPing with my gym rat buddy.

I also need to mow the lawn, clean out the refrigerator, and locate my travel strainer (for hair gel, duh).

Oh! And I get my new front tooth next week.

Wow! I may not have done all the things, but it looks like I have a lot of things to be doing! Get ready blog readers, it is about to be ON.

      Tan does look good. You will be more tan than me this year! I don't think that has ever happened.

      Now, get off your butt and workout!

Running again, and doing all the things.

Image
The clouds have parted, the sun is shining, and this curly girl is alive again. A very dark winter took me away from many of the things I loved, including blogging. As I mentioned in a past post, I went through a divorce in 2014. It wasn't a terrible divorce, or a lengthy, angry divorce. It was however a lengthy separation; 2+ years. When the final court date arrived, and the papers were signed, I felt a huge weight lifted off of me. I've taken some time since then to adjust to the thought of no longer bearing the label of 'wife' or 'partner' or 'companion'. I started that adjustment when the separation started in 2012, but it became real when the divorce was filed. Once it was final, the idea fit better, like pair of running shoes after a few miles. :)  You just have to wear it a bit in order for it to become part of you. Although my identity is not defined by my relationship labels, it is something we wear, and therefore should take time to be comfor...

That lost feeling, it must be Monday.

I feel a little lost today. Do you ever wake up and just feel...lost? Did I sleep last night? Did I imagine that conversation? Was it a dream, or a memory? Am I tired or not? I woke up shaking in the night, and I don't know why. I was too out of it to even try to understand. I feel like I didn't sleep, but I'm not exhausted. I could swear I had a conversation, or rather, a conversation was had with me, but I'm not certain. I really don't like these types of days. My mind begins to dwell on things that may not have occurred, and I get all out of sorts. I need some time on my yoga mat I think. To get my brain on the right track though, I had a green monster shake and some caramel macchiato almonds. That'll do the trick! __________________________________________________________________________ I had a long/short weekend. It was a bit stressful, and a relief at the same time. It's now created new peace, and new nerves. I'll tell you all about it o...

What's the future Wednesday, just give me cherries and tell me I'm pretty, and stuffs

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur...
