Spring Break this week...we head for the Cape on Thursday.
)
WOO HOO Kat! Great loss and perfect outfit! Will have to get the details via IM.
Happy Monday everyone! All 3 kids and I slept in till 8am!
Good week-end, but busy...we did stuff like clean up the yard after the long winter and detail the cars, etc. (I thought DWD's car question was interesting...as in what type of car do we envision others driving? We know that Goof has a Focus and Kat has some type of convertible...I see a Saab? I see Dawn and DWD as mini van mamas. SG Liz has only one kid so I see a sporty sedan...like maybe an Audi type. I'll have to think about everyone else!
Ok, I have to get psyched up for a 5.5 mile run...and I forgot to schedule my parents to watch the kids, so I hope I can find the time. I had a great work-out yesterday...it was a rest day for running so I just hit the gym for some strength training and both Sat. and Sun. were good food days as well. In fact, we even took the kids to DQ yesterday and I didn't even have a bite!
WOW Kat!!!! I never looked that good in my life! You go girl!
After spending the weekend shopping for my junior size DD, I don't know that I'm all that sorry about needing "big girl clothes". At least my clothes offer some coverage!!
Agreed!!!! I have a 12 year old, who sizes like a junior, not a little girl, and the clothing is really unacceptable. (She's ok with it, I'm not) And there are no tween shoes either.
Cars? OK, I'd let y'all guess, but you don't know me all that well yet. I drive a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Got it on New Year's Eve. Before that I had a Toyota Sienna minivan--God I loved that van, but it got 16 mpg, and I couldn't keep guzzling gas like that. The Highlander gets about 27 or 28, which is MUCH better, especially with gas prices going up so fast. And yes, I'm totally brand loyal--this is my 5th Toyota! My next one (in 5 years or so) will probably be an Avalon, IF they make them hybrid by then.
Off to NYC for the day to see the orthopedist. TTYL...
Thank goodness for grandparents! I called my mom and said that I wanted to go for a run this morning and she came right over. 
...sad but true!) And you know...I am just terrified of the thing! Truly! Today I ran more than twice that distance, but I am having panicky nightmares about this stupid 3 mile race. What is that about?
....
Wow--everyone is having a hard time waking up this morning!
Ok, so I am back from my run...and it was such a good run! I can usually cruise for the first 3/4 or so of the run, but the last section is usually a struggle. Today I was just cruising along and went a little farther than planned for a FULL 10k! That is 6.2 miles! And it wasn't really even a struggle!
I figured out that I have impostor complex...like I am not a real runner and at any moment, my body is going to figure that out. I have two off days a week from running, and I am always terrified that when I go to run after a day off, I am only going to be able to run for like half a mile. Not sure when this will go away...
On May 4th, I have signed Jeff and I up for local road race. My very first. There are 2 routes...a 3-mile and a 5-mile. I am planning to run the 3 and Jeff the 5 (because that way we will finish at the same time...
Another really nice spring day here, which makes it really hard for me to get work done and be chained to my computer. The kids are outside playing hockey and having a blast (hey, it's Maine...when the ice melts, they just play street hockey...
Hehe... I am so not a girly-girl... I only picked that out after Erika and Liz gave me pointers last night!!!

HI,
Treyner lost his game yesterday 1 -0 and the shot that won the game was a top right corner shot that the wind took like a rocket....so a good goal..he was screwed and could have done no better...I was glad it wasn't a shot that he bobbled or should have had...
2 of our players knocked heads in the last minute of the game going up for a header...and one got a huge bump..caused by the mouth of another...in fact the other boy..knocked his whole front tooth out...root and all...The poor kid was in so much pain as they shoved it back in...I could hear him scream from accross the field...an ER Dentist trip to get bonded last night...and we shall see who we have left today to play...
The team they lost to was ranked #2 in the country so not too bad of a start and this was our first time touching grass after playing indoors all winter...
I will upload some pics for you guys tonight...we are in a beautiful area..more mansions than you can imagine....
I miss you all....I look forward to December soo much...I can't wait to give you all a big hug for the support and kindness you have shown through this past couple days...
And...am I to gather that when you are all chatting it is on AIM???
Carsyn will have to get me in the loop so I can be a part of your fun...
Can we get booted from AIM like we can here for "OFF TOPIC CONVO'S???"
for Treyner! I am sorry they lost the game but it sounds like they did all they could. That poor boy who lost his tooth...
I can not imagine how bad that must have hurt.Good to hear from you, Heather!
Question: why do old Navy clothes, specifically pants, fit like two sizes too small? I have on a pair of size 18 old navy low waisted capris that I must have bought 2 years ago in a fit of desperation. Now, in most clothes I am a 14 - not a solid 14, but a mostly 14. So why is this the first time these size 18's actually fit well?
Happy Monday everyone! All 3 kids and I slept in till 8am!

There are several of us here in our late 30s and early to mid 40s. Sure, DWD thinks that 31 is old 
...
No everyone is!
We have 2 in their 20s, most of us are in our 30s, and 3 in their 40s. So you are in the game, girl!
Still love the rest of you! SG/Liz-- I just had a fantastic idea (if I do say so myself!
DWD/Liz--How's the elliptical coming? C'mon....you know want to!

On this date in history....
Here I go again, going back in the thread....and look at this little gem that I found!
So now that you are a gym rat, what do you think about this? Are you thinking about the NY one or the New England one? If the dates work out, I will come down and do the run if you do the bike (or swim) and get someone else to do the third. Could be fun! Plus the motivation...what better cause than your mom???
We have a mini-triathalon here in my town in August and I am thinking about doing the whole thing solo. It is a .3 mile swim (in the ocean, though, so that could be tough depending on conditions), a 15 mile bike, and a 5k. The swim and run portions are totally doable, but the biking...I don't even have a "real" bike right now, so that would be something I would have to train for this summer.
I think you should go for the solo one!!! Biking is easier than running, I hear. Not that I would know!
