So… I have this girlfriend (Julie) from college who just got a book published! Lucky! (I said that just like Napoleon. Just. Like.) Anywho, right on girl! Props! I have not read it, so I can’t review it here, but – Right! Arm! I should prolly buy it – then I could review it and [...]

They Rocked
The kid’s choir rocked the sactuaraaayyyy! I swat (go with it – I am trying to make “swat” the offical past tense of sweat) in abundance and then crashed for a couple hours this afternoon. Those kids worked so stinkin’ hard this morning. I am so impressed by their efforts. Mrs. Cindy – my kids-choir-director-in-crime… [...]

A Political Mood
I’m not one for politics – in conversation or my blog. It may be my lazy eye mind… It may be my political incorrectocityability… It may be that I am not a huge fan of humilitaitng arguing with friends – or dummies strangers for that matter. Besides, I know I’m always right. I don’t have [...]

Stage Fright
Oh dear… where did THIS come from? I was cool. I was cool. But now I’m not and my stomach is churning. The kids are ready. They’ve been practicing every week and we (Mrs. Cindy and I) have been working them hard. You have no idea what I’m talking about, do you? Kid’s choir… that’s [...]

My Buddy Bill
Somehow I missed the little detail that each NODM finisher would get a buddy at the finish. Imagine my dismay when a bearded man – carrying a Vitamin Water and a finisher’s medal came to my side and began asking me questions. Just me. My friend Katie was off with some lady. She was holding [...]

At least she’s resourceful…
Olivia is grounded from scissors for a week. You see, she’s 5 – not 3 or 2 – she’s 5. She should be WELL past the “cut one’s own hair stage”. She broke ground on that phase a couple of years ago and tended the land for quite some time. However, she grew out of [...]

The North Olympic Discovery (half) Marathon
Where do I begin? Sunday was AWSOME! Stinkin' beautiful! We loaded the kids, swung by Katie and Ellie's to meet up with their family, and then stopped by Starbucks to get that extra little “kick”. We made it to the “Start” about an hour later without a hitch. It was a bit chilly, and I [...]

The Big 5
It's crazy to realize that you are already 5 years old Olivia! How'd you get so big so fast? Where have the years gone? It seems like only a short time ago that I learned I was pregnant with you. I remember sitting in my bed, sorting through pictures of your big brother early on [...]

“I think I’m going to throw up my jelly donut.”
That’s what Katie said a few miles into our half-marathon this morning. She felt bad for “lying” to the hearers of her comment, so she confessed – as she ran – “No, I didn’t really eat a jelly donut… I actually feel like throwing up my whole grain oatmeal! Heeheeahawhaw….” Oh my gosh, she made [...]

Half-Prep
My tank top is clean. My shorts are clean. My shoes are dirty, but I didn’t wanna wash ‘em too close to the race. I can’t find my number-holder-strap thing. Dang. My fanny pack has 3 Gu’s, 2 Carb BOOM!s, 10 Endurolyte capsules, a bottle of Ibuprofen, water, and 4 baby wipes (that Gu is [...]
