Why Wait?
Tuesday, December 30th 2008
I picked up the book Joys Life Diet the other day at the bookstore. Roy and I are featured on page ten as a couple who lost weight together. However it wasnt our story that I enjoyed the most. It was the story of Patti Carlson who has lost 125 pounds. In the book she states that she started on December 12 and her friends asked her why she didnt wait until after the holidays. I love her response I planned to do this for the rest of my life, so it didnt matter when I started.Is ...
Winter Run

I went out on my third...no fourth, snow run today. We never get snow. Oh we get a smattering once or twice a year, and it's gone within 24 hours. Last year we got more than usual, but it would snow, then it would rain, then it would freeze and it wasn't like this year.This year it is fluffy and beautiful and just AMAZING!
So today I decided I was going to run out to Costco from my house. It's about ten miles. Roy would take the bus and meet me and we'd pick stuff up, then take the bu...

...of course it's all relative. It isn't end of the world sadness. It's just sadness.We have had one heck of a snowstorm here. I love snow, so I'm not complaining about it. It's beautiful!

I already have plans on how to rectify that situation come spring.
But I'm bummed because the storm means I can't run my fir...

Saw the movie "Australia." Wow. GREAT! Best movie I think I've seen all year!
Busy day...but sad day

First off the busy part. Got up this morning and took my run to Starbucks. Roy drove in and met me. I can't wait until he can run again. I miss him as a running partner.We sipped coffee and had breakfast cookies (Baker's) and then I ran home.
Our city's new dog park had its grand opening today, so we piled the boys into the car and took them to the dog park. Oh my gosh they had a blast! It's so cute to see them play. Dogs are the best. Too bad we all can't live like dogs.
When y...
