Ten Things You Won't Hear Me Say

I saw this on another BLOG and I thought it was a hoot.

TEN THINGS YOU WILL NOT HEAR ME SAY (and to which I regularly say the opposite):

10) Oh, good, I'm up half a pound. I've been looking a tad bit scrawny lately.
9) Babe, could you let that back hair grow in a little? It makes you look really macho.
8) Brainy Boy, skip brushing your teeth today. Your front teeth look great with that white gunk all over them.
7) Little Chic, don't bother clipping back your grown-out bangs. I love it when it hangs down the front of your face and hides your baby blues.
6) Feel free to leave your books and papers on the kitchen table--it's so handy right here by the front door.
5) I met Kickboxer Buddy for breakfast yesterday so I really shouldn't spend the time or money to go with you for lunch today.
4) I'm really too tired to read in bed before I go to sleep.
3) I'll just get up a little earlier in the morning to throw that extra load of laundry in.
2) Hero Guy, don't wash your medic pants at the station--I look forward to dealing with the bodily fluids of complete strangers.
1) I'm kind of in a hurry this morning. I'll just skip my morning cup of coffee.

Hey! My hubby loved your ten things! Since this is so new to me I love "blogging" with a New Yorker! Ya know we Texans tend to forget about the rest of the world. That's wrong, but true. My bro. is moving to NC so I "googled" it and found how stunning and gorgeous it is! Of course, I have been out of Texas, but blah, blah, blah, I just think it's fun chatting with you! Anyways~how did you link my site to yours through the word "BLOG"? Too complicated for an email? Don't fret, just let me know if it is easy. Later!

Stickin' It Out

I got married today. Well, not exactly today. It was Friday, June 2. But the year was 1989 - 17 years ago. "Amazing", people say. "Good for you", they comment. "You must have picked the right one", the add. Amazing? Yes. Good for me? I'll admit it. But it has nothing to do with picking the right one, really. It's not because I found the perfect boy, and it's certainly not because he found the perfect girl. It might sound a little unromantic, but there never really is a 'right one' floating around out there waiting in the cosmos for the other 'right one' to crash and connect. There may be 'better ones'; there may be 'more easily compatible' or something or other. But the real story is you start becoming the right one the moment you vow that "you do". When I married, I had been 20 for a whole 33 days, we had just completed a 2-year long-distance realtionship and HE was five years older tha...

I Have a Dream....

Dreams come in all forms, from thoughts about how your life will turn out, to wishes about what type of car you'll drive one day to having your perfect house and so on. I would say that typically I'm not much of a dreamer. I tend to be more of a realist, certainly looking forward to things to come, but generally living practically, in the moment. I'm noticing as I grow older though, I do seem to be developing a dream of sorts--one that would become a mission, one that would recognize a passion, one that would establish a sense of purpose. I'm finding that as I live my day to day experiences, although I'm happy and content, I'm also ready to find that sense of purpose in life, the thing that makes me jump out of bed in the morning ready to dig into the job that is custom-designed just for me. I realize that I have a set of strengths, talents, gifts if you will. I'm at the point in my life where my children aren't quite so dependent on my help, my resp...

Week 3 of half marathon training

This week brought very cold temperatures that caused a challenge for some of my runs. It is almost impossible for me to stay comfortably warm when it gets below 20 degrees. I did my first hill workout, which is meant to strengthen a different set of muscles and increase your speed. I did that on the treadmill on Monday because the weather was dangerously wet and we were in a flood state--I decided not to risk getting drenched by passing cars. The rest of the week had runs ranging between 3 and 5 miles. My week culminated with a 6 mile "long run". I had to put that off on Saturday because the temperature hovered around 14 degrees, and the weatherman promised a balmy 20 degrees on Sunday! I really don't like running on Sunday--it is a full day of church and family dinner and activities and I am usually too pooped out to take a long run. But I planned carefully, took some extra snacks to church to keep fueled up, and headed out the door while my sweet hubby fixed lunch for t...
