Setting the mood!!

Today at lunch I went to my favorite store - JC Penney - and got some new running shorts and one of those meshy type shirts. If I'm going to keep up this running, I want to look good while I'm doing it.

And the best part of all is that with the two coupons I had I got both items for $7.56!!!!!

I "pink puffy heart" JCP!!!!!

My craziest idea ever!!!!

Yesterday I decided that I want to run in next year's Beach-to-Bay relay marathon!!!

My good friend Darcie and I have been talking about exercising and lack of motivation and this crazy idea came to me. I knew that Randy would do it with us, so I emailed her and asked what she thought. She responded that she would absolutely love to run in it.

So.......last night I started training. It wasn't anything over the top, but it was a start. There's only 401 days left until the race and I've got to start now to be ready.

Wish me luck!!!!

90 Days Smarter

Amber came home with this hat today.

I guess that explains why she said this when asked what she did at school today:

"We talked about Arfer Loofer King's birthday. He was dreaming and then he got killed and went to the hospital."

Stamps

This morning Randy asked me if I had a stamp and I thought I did but couldn't find it. When I told him that, Amber says to me "Daddy can just use my stamps".

So she goes and gets them and takes them to her Daddy. As she's giving him the box, she tells him what each stamp is and that he has to be careful with them because some of them get stuck in the box.

A few minutes later, I found the stamp and gave it to Randy. Amber so innocently said "he doesn't need that, he is going to use my stamps".

Then as they were leaving I heard Randy tell her to go put them back on the table because he wasn't going to be taking them with him. I later confirmed with him that she had indeed been taking them out to his truck so he wouldn't forget them. I told him he should have just taken them to work.

It was probably the sweetest moment I have ever witnessed from Amber. She truly thought that Daddy needed those stamps and really wanted him to take them.

It's something I'll always remember!!!!

Wow - I'm really bad at this!!!

Well.........the whole point of this blog was to document the lives of my girls and as you can see, I haven't posted anything since the first day of school. And it's now mid-January. :(

One of my resolutions this year will be to post something daily. Something is better than nothing!!!!!! :)
