I couldn't resist!!!

My motivation

The past few years have been a real roller coaster with me getting back in shape. I know running would be the best....how many runners do you know that have excess fat? I have tried many times, but it just hasn't been fun and I haven't been able to make it a habit. My dogs have me going on consistent walks (or else they turn into bears), but running with them is a whole other story.

After my sister got home from her mission Bob challenged her to write 100 goals to accomplish in life. One of them was to run a marathon. She asked if I wanted to run one with her....of course I do! I'm always up for some physical punishment in the name of getting fit. :) Seriously though, I thought this would be a great opportunity to get in the habit of running. Yea, its really on the opposite end of the spectrum of where I was, but I know I can do it. Online I found a good training program and have stuck to it the past few weeks.

I have 30 weeks until the big 26.2 mile day! Wish me luck. :)

Just like her Daddy, Jamin

Blokus

Our new favorite game! Bob & I played tonight & you have to play all four colors & we got all our pieces in!!!! Yea, a very first. Bob was stoked. :) And we didn't cheat at all, we just "co-habitated" & didn't purposefully block each other off. If you haven't played it yet-let us know...we'll be right over.

I get so fed up...

Our dogs chewed through our ethernet cable-50 feet by the way! Now ruined. Along with the many baskets, computer cords, cell phone chargers, paper, softball glove lace, chap sticks, underwear, and everything else they destroy. Boy you think I'd learn-

Somedays.....they're really in the dog house...

So I missed a morning walk...it was wet & there was about 6 inches of snow! And look what I got to come home to: chewed through ethernet cable & my beautiful decorative flowers...gone. I'm really trying my hardest to be happy today.

My love/hate relationship with Netflix

So Netflix is really more of my friend. When I am alone keeps me company. It is definitely an entertainer in our home. Its has been great on the x-box 360 to watch it directly from our tv. But the dislike comes when I look at the clock and hours have passed by (what a couch potato). We don't have regular cable/tv so we watch our sitcoms and movies on Netflix. Somedays, it is also more comfortable to be home and have the movie come to us, when there's a new release we want to see.

So although its a time waster-I not willing to give it up. :)

Young Women's Room

Last Saturday we spent most of the day organizing & decorating our blah young women's room.
My mom made these wood value flowers when she was in the presidency. Aren't they B-E-A-UTIFUL?

Using Mail2Blogger

I have been given the nickname of crackberry. I have a blackberry & have learned without it I am powerless. It has become a good friend of mine and links me to all my other friends via Facebook, texting, emailing, web browsing, note taking, to do lists, & contact storage. I love it! So I was reading through a friends blog & the whole time thinking-I honestly can't remember the last time I updated my blog. Then I came across this mail2blogger. So I'm testing it out. If I can send an email to create a post, I'll update it more frequently (I'm passionate about multitasking & making efficient use of those "dead" times-like standing in lines). So of my friends & family that have cared enough to see how we're doing via blogland & have been disappointed by my lack of entries, this should make you happy if it works. :)
