That Curl can RUN!

Friday is a hair puller so far. I just looked up and it's already after 12! That is good, but where did my morning go? I didn't make it to the track again. Neighbor had a headache and I wasn't arguing with my pillow about getting up and going alone. Heck. No.  I slept. After not getting enough sleep Wednesday night, I wasn't passing on an extra 2 hours today. ________________________________________________________________________ Stuff to do? Most of my family is on vacation in Indiana so my dad is home alone. Earlier in the week I thought I'd be driving to that part of the state, but that changed. Poor dad. I don't have any plans, but I really need to open the windows and dust the house. Maybe he'll come visit and can help me clean. Hahahaha. Oh, so speaking of the house, I need to pick out a new sink for the bathroom. That should go on my 'to do' list. Co-garden got a hair cut last night. It looks SOOOO much better. I'm not...

Soooo many pictures!!!!!!  I did make it to the gym this morning, thank you very much. I worked up a sweat like nobody's business. Really. Nobody wanted any part of that business, it was gross. We are in week 4 of the 12 week program. It's not going the way it was intended, as we both slacked last week due to school work (her) and vacation (moi). Regardless, we aren't giving up. She has gained 2 lbs since school started and I'm just not at the fitness level I'd like to be. We will keep going, and I'll keep you posted on our progress. Today: 7 mins, 2 rounds each. Repeat. 10 burpees 20 jump lunges 24 step up w/ knee up 15 sumo squats 100 reps jump rope 24 walking lunges 30 reverse lunge w/knee up 15 jump squats We finished almost 2 rounds of each, only being a bit short on the 4th exercise of the second round. Dead. D.E.D Dead. Yay fitness. I'm eating free Oreo's that I discovered in the lunch room right now... _______________________...

Hello there! Greetings from SEOK. It's hot, it's hot, and it's hot. The good news today is that it's my FRIDAY!!!! Shhhh, don't tell anyone, I don't like my business being made public. I will tell you that I won't be at work for the rest of the week, but I'm not saying what I'm doing. So don't go snooping around my house trying to find out where I am. Weirdos. I plan to run this week, so I have that going for me. I'll keep you posted on how it goes, and if I keep up with R4G's half marathon training. Today I get my new tooth too! So hillbilly. Since I won't be available much this week, I thought I'd share all the things I've been doing since last (real) Friday. ______________________________________________________________________ I visited my parents, brother, SIL, nephews, and niece! Dad isn't a big fan of pictures. Sometimes I can get him to pose, but this trip was not one of those times. Mom was...

Friday = sunshine No rain today, and it is HOTT outside. Thankfully I have a desk job, so it's nice and cool in here. ___________________________________________________________________ I'm getting hooked up tonight! (that sounds bad...) Back online after an 8 year protest. Don't worry, I don't crush candy, I don't virtual farm, and I have no intention of snapping chats, so I shouldn't waste too much time online. I will likely spend most of my time blogging, looking at container houses and log cabins, and planning far-away vacations I'll never take. ...and shopping on Amazon. _______________________________________________________________________ Not much Action I'm sorry. I'm behind on my book of Acts. If your walk of faith is relying on my tutoring, you'd better be really worried. You're not going to make it all the way to Damascus with me in the lead. If I go to my parents this weekend I should be able to catch up. I have f...

Do you know that it's Star Wars day? It is. You should know that. I know that's why you come to my blog, to find out these very important things. I'm calming down from a whirlwind weekend. I visited my parents Friday night, and my ex-in-laws Saturday. I burned up the highway to get back in time for cutey-cuteys 3rd birthday Saturday evening. Can I have a birthday like a 3 year old? A spread of snacks, tons of gifts that I'm SUPER excited about, lots of friends and family, and a water gun fight! Adults should get to have this much fun too. Saturday evening provided a relaxed vibe, which was very welcomed. Napping, and then sleeping. I think I liked that as much as cutey liked the Rescue Bots. Sunday brought a great worship service, the kind that has you unable to contain your thanks for His grace. The praise band had it TURNT UP yesterday. You know when you want to jump up on the pew, look at the congregation and say "how are you standing still? Do you hear w...

Ah Tuesday. Not Monday anymore, but not quite the end of Friday.  (that was a stretch, I know)  I don't have a lot of meat for this post this week. The last 7 days were all about the prep for last weekend. Now I'm trying to look forward toward new plans. ~ I've got a full agenda this week with a doctor appointment, a dentist appointment, a concert, and a trip to see my parents. Hopefully I'll also get to pop in to see some oldies but goodies while in town Saturday morning. There is a 3 year old birthday party Saturday afternoon for his cutey, cutey nephew. Plus, it's the weekend!! So many good things can happen; such as food, naps, sunshine, and stuff.   ~ Concert!!!!! We're going to see Need To Breathe. This makes me so happy. You don't even know. It's going to be awesome. I promise to tell you all about it. I could list all of their songs that speak right to me, but I'd basically just be listing most of their discography. Check them out...

TUESDAY!!!!! Hi guys. Glad to have you back this week. I have been busy, so we have a lot to go over. Since last weeks check-in I can report that I still have not found my iPod. Sad face. I'm sure you were keeping high hopes that I would come back with positive news; so sorry. No dice. Also, no one has offered to let me borrow/buy one! You are not very helpful readers. ...wait, come back. I'm sorry, you're the best. Don't go! Ok. Here is what I have accomplished: I made homemade strawberry scones. They were a little tangy as the strawberries weren't as ripe as I would have liked. Also, I put too many strawberries in (as if that is possible) and so they were more moist than normal. Edible nonetheless and fantastic. Don't complain, you didn't make them. (like my dress? spring!)  I planted spearmint, lemon balm, chocolate mint, and basil. This is a random spearmint sprig that was left behind. I don't use the chimenea so I thought...
