Late Thanks are better than no Thanks!

There are many things that I’m thankful for in my life…far too many to list. Here are a few of them…

A healthy body that allows me to get up and run when the mood strikes me, even when I have a sinus infection! Read more on the Turkey Trot here!

Good friends that laugh at [...]

You Capture – Food

So…food, huh? As much as I like to EAT food, I really don’t like to MAKE food. Which really cuts down on the food shots I’m able to take. I guess I could have taken pictures of the kids’ cereal, but I wasn’t feeling it.
The last place I was expecting to take [...]

Pencils sharpened and at the ready

Today, Jacob came home with another fundraiser from school.
But this wasn’t just any fundraiser.  Oh no, this one was a throwback to a fund raiser I did when I was in school.
As soon as I saw the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital logo, I was immediately drawn back to when that Math-a-Thon packet came home [...]

You Capture – Sunsets

I was very excited to hear that this weeks challenge was sunrises and sunsets. I love sunrises and sunsets.
And then I remembered what time sunrise is and that I really like to look at PICTURES of sunrises. The sun rises early. Way earlier than I’m up.
So here is my picture of a sunset. [...]

Everybody has their role to play

The latest after school conversation with Emma…
Emma: Can I have some gum?
Me: No, you’ve lost candy and desserts for a week.
Emma: How long is that?
Me: You can have candy on Friday.
Emma: Can I have candy after my snack today?
Me: You know the answer to that one.
Emma: There’s a lot of toys in the centers at [...]

Crossroads

I feel like I’m floundering in my own little corner of the blog world.
I haven’t been very interested in posting lately.  I am hitting “Mark as Read” in my Google Reader more often than I want.  I have officially become a lurker.
I don’t have much to say on Twitter.  Facebook seems a little crazy right [...]

You Capture – My Life

Well, my life this week has been kind of all about sickness and ickiness and blech.  I didn’t get the camera out much, but I did get it out during a rousing game of Uno.
Uno is pretty big in this house.  We play a couple of times a week and at least one of those [...]

Open letters

Dear throat,
I’m really sick of you not feeling good.  I drink plenty of water, I treat you right and all you do is give me swollen lymph nodes and nasty phlegm.
Get over yourself.
Please get better,
That sick girl
Dear knee,
I’m really sorry if I put too much stress on you yesterday.  I thought you would enjoy the [...]

World Sisterhood EA Sports Run Day

Yesterday was World Run Day 2009 and also our EA Sports Active 5k Challenge over at The Sisterhood.  There was no race in my area yesterday, so I had to come up with own route.  Luckily, there’s a race in a couple of weeks so I just went online and stole the course.
And oh my, [...]

Fitness Friday!

I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted a Fitness Friday, but I finally feel like I have something to talk about!
This past Wednesday, I ran 3.1 miles without stopping for the first time EVER!  I’ve completed 2 5k races, but I always had to walk a portion of them.
The key this time?  I [...]
