I ran the Costco marathon today. I made excellent time. The track is three times from the far wall to the bathrooms at the front of the store. I can run it in about a minute and a half. Too bad it isn't a real event. I went to Costco to return a sweatshirt and… Continue reading Running the Costco Marathon

“Mommy I have to go potty!”
Ah, potty training. Is there a more wonderful thing in all the world? I think not. My daughter Madison will be three in October. As of last week, she was still going in a diaper and I, her mother was changing her (sorry - little potty book humor for you moms out there). We tried… Continue reading “Mommy I have to go potty!”
For Shame!
I realized today (thanks James) that I haven't blogged in - well, far too long. Shame, shame on me. I'm so sorry! I'm currently decompressing from an incredibly busy day and preparing for a new (equally hectic) day on the horizon. I started watching a friend's children today, and will have an infant, two 2… Continue reading For Shame!
Just a little happy day
Spent some time outside enjoying a GORGEOUS Seattle day today. Ahhh. It was awesome. Burned my shoulders, grew lots of new freckles and discovered that Donovan is NOT a fan of the lawn mower. Took some photos of the little man, which he is a big fan of. The little girl has decided to become… Continue reading Just a little happy day
Don’t cry over no parking
My YMCA is in the midst of a remodel. Two weeks ago, they blocked off a third of the parking stalls and set up a couple modular buildings to serve as the construction headquarters. I'm very excited for the project to be finished. Partly because of the fabulous new pool and weight room, but more… Continue reading Don’t cry over no parking
Training Required
I had an interesting conversation with my brother this weekend. He's been talking to some folks at work who have passionate opinions on who should be allowed to "breed". Apparently, the criteria goes something like this. You should be able to provide your children with "every opportunity". You need training to be sure you're capable… Continue reading Training Required
The shabby Y
I worked out with my sister Amy last night at the brand spankin' new 24 Hour Fitness near her house. Oh my goodness. As I walked thru the doors, I felt like I'd died while working out and gone to gym heaven. Every treadmill and elliptical machine had it's own tv attached. You could plug… Continue reading The shabby Y
Six inches
What a crazy day! As I left the gym this morning heading for the airport to pick my Disneyland going sister up, I got a voice-mail from my sick sick sick couldn't get any sicker sister. Jessica has been battling Lord only knows what for several months now and because doctors are inept and can't… Continue reading Six inches
How to GPS a duck – and kiss a lamb
I tried geocaching today. Never heard of it? Neither had I. My sister Lizzy and her boyfriend Fred were over today. While we were hanging out, Fred asked if I'd ever heard of geocaching. Pronounced Geo (like the car) cashing (like I'm taking my check to the bank for cash). He explained that it was… Continue reading How to GPS a duck – and kiss a lamb
15 Items or Less
I decided to hit the supermarket today on my way home from the gym. Normally I don't have time to do so, but it was a short workout day - so I figured I'd be all good. The first mistake I made was to allow my 2 year old to request (and receive) the cart… Continue reading 15 Items or Less
