Memorial Day 8k

I got my tickets, so now we just need to register for the race in KC on Memorial Day!! I am so happy to have a goal again. I need to run it faster than the 8k I ran in June last year.

Oh, wow. I ran that faster than I thought. Hmmmm.

Sunny snow days

My grass is going to be about 2 feet tall once it finally warms up around here. This snow after snow thing is really working.

Maddie has really adjusted to her new doggie door. She doesn't run through it as fast as the other one, but she remembers where it is now.

6 am is really early when one hasn't slept well lately. In fact, most nights I have just finally fallen asleep by 6 am lately.

Sticking with WW and pointing is very hard. It was so much easier last time. These "few" extra pounds are not coming off. I need to commit to cardio. Why can't I commit??

Punked.

I think I punked myself. I went around all day yesterday pretending that I was hopeful and optimistic, when I knew it wasn't true. Happy people makes me crazy. How can some people be so hopeful all the time. Sometimes I think I am actually turning into my father and my grandmother. I just need to be faster with my snark.

I have decided to become a full-time drinker. Which means that since I am still pointing it is much harder to get the daily recommendation of fiber. 32 grams doesn't happen in just one martini.

On another note, Maddie started squeaking her happy squeak when I come home again. I really missed that. Also, the designer is coming next week! Yeah! So even though we can't do the renovations we will still have pretty plans of them!

Springtime in Colorado!

I am ready for some consistency. This rain, snow, warm, rain, warm, wind, snow, wind thing is getting old. At least it was a beautiful weekend.

Saturday we did yard work and ran errands. We both got new Keen sandals. I am so happy with mine. Red! Sandals! Red! I haven't been this happy with new sandals since my Jiminy Cricket sandals.

We made the yard so pretty, except for two spots that will require serious attention. Getting the grass to stop growing through the chicken wire stuff from the green belt could seriously be a full time job. Tim also fertilized, so it will be ready to grow as soon as we get warm days. We need to move the sprinkler lines before we can get the new deck, so we need to figure all that out soon.

We also found the rest of the chairs for our patio furniture on Craig's List, so we picked those up on Sunday. Now we just need a glass table top and we are all set, you know, once the deck is built. Oh! We also found the cutest fan online for the roof of the deck, so I am super excited about that!!

Yesterday we were able to golf for only the second time this year. It went really well!! I am ready for our leagues to start. I think it will be 6 weeks or so, though.

This week is going to rock! We get all the bids back for all the remodeling AND we are going to get some other really good news. I am also going to start running more with the walking, as I would really like to do that race in May.
