Sarah brought this home from school the other day.
Makes for a proud parent moment.
Way to go Sarah!!!
You Rock!

So what if this was back in December.
And toward the beginning.
I still LOVED it!
And I'm going to post it.

My S.I.L. came to visit!
Short and sweet, but better than nothing.
She lives in Utah.
LOVE YOU EM!!!
Kaitlyn got to stop by as well (another FAB S.I.L. whom I adore).
She was their (Emilee and her brother) tour guide for the day.

Another thing that emulates therapy for me is running.
It's a natural "feel good" drug.
I need my running.

As I mentioned in an earlier post I track my workouts through dailymile.
They just sent me my 2010 year end report.



































It's a great motivator.
My goal for this year is to run a 1/2 marathon.
Looking for different options.
I'm open to suggestions.

My latest running gig was at Olympic High with my running buddy LaRee.
Apollo tagged along.
I made sure to bundle him in snow pants and two jackets.
Hat and mittens ended up coming off.
Little stinker.
It was only 38 degrees out!
These pics were taken after our run.
While running I was two jackets lighter.

Since I don't update my blog header monthly like I used to I thought it was time for a makeover.
It is a new year after all.
Not that I had the extra time to do it, but doing things such as these are therapeutic for me.
And I NEEDED THE THERAPY!

Some of us have little 3 year olds that do things like this with a Sharpie:


But not everyone has friends as cool as mine that bring their Magic Eraser's and scrub it off the walls and door for you.

I've been keeping track of all the mileage I've put on my shoes since I started running back in June.

I started out using Map My Run which has great tools to do just what it's called, since I don't have a GPS
(I still use their maps on occasion).
Then a friend told me about Daily Mile.
It has a wall kinda like facebook to post your workouts and see everyone else's workouts too.
You can request/deny friends (like facebook).
You can post comments, pics, etc... (like facebook).
It's fun to log on to see what type of workouts (running, walking, elliptical, basketball, etc...) everyone's up to.

To get to the point.
As soon as I hit a certain mileage on these babies:

Can't believe how fast time flies.
I have two babies.
One is 80 years old.
One is 3 years old.
Both need constant care.
(The reason why we probably won't be having anymore babies.)
My 3 year old baby had a milestone yesterday.
He GRADUATED FROM NURSERY!!!
So happy!
And sad :-(

Can't stop listening to this song. LOVE IT!!!
