2010 - A Day in the Life - week 17

April 25
There is only one thing to say. 
GNOME!!

The view from Christy's porch on the morning we left.

The four ponytails just before being placed in the ziplock and padded envelope to be mailed to Pantene.

The poor freshly planted tomatoes covered in snow. In April.

April 29

I love this because it shows how the storms come over the mountains here in sections. On the right it's dark and brooding, but if you notice off to the left, the sky is blue and the cloudy are bright and puffy.

Suck. No pictures. :(

May 1
My tech tee and racing bib.  
Nerves were still present even picking up my goody bag.  
I wasn't sure how well I was going to do. 
Race details will be another post.  It was good and bad.  
Bottom line, I beat my last half time by about 11 minutes. Woot!

    I haven't planted our tomatoes yet - or anything, really, except for lettuce and peas. Our area is known for April snow (which I hate.)

    I've seen a lot of race talk recently, which makes me want to get out there and sign up for one :)

Tell It To Me Tuesday - A letter

...to our Nation's daughters.  That was Jade's challenge this week.  I have to admit my first reaction was that this was going to be easy, I've got three of them living under my roof.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn't want to write something fluffy or silly just for the simple fact that I have three of them under my roof. So here goes nothing. To the Beautiful Daughters of Our Nation: This world you now live in is so different from the one I grew up in.  High-end technology when I was just starting in school was a VCR.  And they were big.  A night out as a family usually meant McDonald's, and we loved it.  I love that my parents allowed me to be a child and to have fun and be silly and to have few responsibilities.  I sure had fun.  But I realize now that maybe I had it too easy.  I say this because I am constantly telling my own daughters that life isn't always easy.  That you must work and someti...

#insaneroadtrip day 17

Wow! It's amazing what happens when you sleep for 8 hours one night and 9 the next! You can cope with heat and humidity and sun and crowds and traffic. After enjoying a nice yummy breakfast (I had an omelet) we packed up the truck and headed out of Granny's place and off for the big city. We were meeting Thea at the Air & Space Museum and rode the metro in the north. The metro used to scare me, but not so much anymore. The maps are pretty too. We left T at a corner where he turned towards Starbucks to do homework and not hobble around in his boot. We went the opposite way towards l Air & Space. The last time we were there the girls didn't get to see a lot of it because we ran out of time. After a pitstop in the bathroom I spotted Thea. Yay! Roomie! The 10yo was excited to see all the Apollo stuff since she did a research paper on it at the end of the school year. I took pictures on the real camera but not with my phone so no fun pictures there. I refused to make i...

2010 - A Day in the Life - week 4

Can you believe that we've already made it through January? Four full weeks of 2010 have passed.  And here are my pictures to prove it! January 24 The last light bulb finally blew out in our ugly retro chandelier. This is the replacement.  It is not the most beautiful fixture, but it is 150% better than the old one. January 25 Sass laid out her ski clothes anatomically the night before. (This is too cute! There is even the hat and scarf!) January 26 Can you say blizzard?  Sass is in front. Smarty Pants is right behind her. January 27 This may not seem very interesting, but if you know me -  the fact that you can see the top of the desk at all is pretty miraculous! January 28 Can you read the sweet note Sass left for me? "I wanted to thank you for being such a good mother by filling up the coco contianer!" (I have a sealed metal container that I keep powdered cocoa in. I use it in my coffee.  Costco only has the single serving packets, so I have to open a bu...
