I am going to blog about something besides the fact that summer is nearing the end although every morning it is the first thought that crosses my mind! How can my lazy summer days be coming to an end!???
Well, not too lazy... I have been training all summer for a half marathon and this Saturday, like in two days, is my big race! I have loved all the running I have gotten to do this summer... I have given up running with my ipod for three reasons. One it annoys me. The ear phones get sweaty and slip out or the song might have too slow of a tempo so I have to fumble with it until I find a better one. Reason number two is I run to run... Yes I do have a lot of gadgets for running, like my GPS, my treadmill, and I have had quite a number of jogging strollers but the best runs I have ever had are about the run. A clear mind. Solitude. Just being able to be me for an hour or two with no interruptions. And reason number three- Safety! I want to be able to hear if some one is sneaking up behind me! And I feel sorry for the person who would dare try to sneak up behind me! This summer is the first summer that when thoughts about a full marathon have crossed my mind I actually thought, "Maybe..."
I am also addicted to ALIAS! Just finished the first season and have started the second! I have found that there are many others share my love it is soooo good! It's really hard because I also love all the usa shows like Burn Notice, Psyche, White Collar and the all new Covert Affairs. So I stay up way to late some nights catching up on my shows!
I have hired my friend Corinne to help me with my housekeeping! I didn't know I would be getting such a super cleaner! She is awesome! My walls are even clean and I feel like I have time for other stuff, like folding the piles of laundry on my bed, instead of what I usually do which is avoid cleaning because there is just too much and I am totally overwhelmed by it! Well not any more! I am so happy!
Well I have been taking too long and I didn't even get to what my kids have been up to this summer, but what they are up to right now is mischief!!! Indy is yelling that there is toilet paper all the way down the stairs so I will have to leave this post with a....
To Be Continued (when my children are in bed!)
Isn't that the way life is! Kids sure seems to disrupt and enliven our days. How lucky to have someone help out around the house. I wonder what it would feel like to have clean walls?
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a housekeeper?! LUCKY! I worry about creepy freaks coming up behind me when I'm running too. But I still can't run without the music -- you're better than I.
