My brain is already in my long weekend - not here at work. Tomorrow we are getting up at the a**crack of dawn to drive to Charlotte for the Virginia Tech football season opener. I am so excited! I'm going to the new Hokie wear store in the mall to get

We need the rain, but we are on our second day of straight rain. It started yesterday around lunchtime, and it hasn't stopped since. I hope that the front goes north so my parents will get some rain - the cows and sheep and hay need it!! Obviously I didn't

It's official (like it wasn't before): I have green beans running out my yin-yan. I am now the proud owner of 40 pints (an increase of 20 over yesterday) of canned green beans, and I have somewhere between 10-20 more pints to go. And what did I find when

I had all kinds of witty titles this weekend, but they escape me at the moment. This is going to seem a bit random, but here goes: I have a weird stitch-like pain in my left side this morning – I think maybe I’m ovulating (or just really gassy). I ran

I like a busy life - in some respects, and it's definitely looking busier now. I had my audition last night, and although I butchered the sight-reading, the director let me in. He said I had a very light voice on the high notes, that there was no weight

My coworker just brought her new baby in for everyone to see . . . and I was a little bit jealous. I want to be the one bringing a baby in with my hubby. Soon enough, I guess. Just gotta keep trying.

Ok, so here are my options: Slazenger bag that I can use with my mawmaw's clubs until I get decent and then get the Wilson Prostaff magenta clubs. OR I can get the Slazenger Philosophy set (bag included). I like pink, but I don't know that I will like

Exercise - I was a bum this morning, so I’ll have to run this evening after work – no big deal. I really need to get back to running in the morning; I feel more energetic all day, and my evenings are free. I was down to 142 this morning, so I just need

Work is bananas today - I feel like I'm in the middle of a three ring circus as the star attraction! My meeting kept getting interrupted by calls and other coworkers, then we heard a water pipe had burst, and I realized it's already lunchtime. Now lunch

The weekend was great; too short, but great. It took forever to get to WV for DH’s ½ marathon. We had to cross the mountains on a state road, and it was extremely twisty (think 7, 8, 9, and 10% grades). At least it was a pretty drive. We got in and registered

It's about time for the weekend to start. I got into work a little early, so I can sneak out a little earlier. I hope I remembered to pack everything! I'll report in on Monday, if not before.

So my schedule is already thrown to the wayside . . . 1. Didn't get my eyebrow wax b/c they looked swamped! I just decided I'd go next week and maybe pluck the worst tonight. 2. Went to grab my few random things at Wally World, got back to the office

All exercise motivation has left me for the week. The road to you-know-where is paved with good intentions, and that puts me on the path to exercise purgatory. I got home last night just before a big thunderstorm, and promptly decided that I needed a

but I need help with ideas. We have lots of people to get Xmas for, and I need fresh ideas. I was going to make Barbie clothes for one cousin, and doll clothes for another of similar age, but what about my infant cousin (boy), my two 1yr old girl cousins,

You know how I said no eating out after this weekend? My DH and ILs made a liar out of me. Thankfully, Moe's likes me, and I even ran last night ~ 2 miles in 19:13. Another 2 miles tonight, my long loop Wednesday, and then 2 miles Thursday & Friday,

I had a good weekend. I went home sick Friday afternoon with horrible cramps – I got some Midol, and it worked, but it took 3 hours, and I wasn’t going to sit at work feeling like I wanted to die or rip out my uterus. (The ladies at work said not to because

I thought I knew those cramps - guess that's the end of this month's pipe dream. And like I thought, she has come with a vengeance. They say things can be weird with your cycle after a m/c. Guess they are. And my guess is my nausea, etc can be explained

Last night was horrible. We went out to eat, and I ate too much (Five Guys will do that to you). I felt okay, full and bloated but okay, until we started fooling around and saw some brownish tinged discharge. Poor Mike, I’m sure he didn’t appreciate being

I was starting to feel a little nauseous/hungry and went to get my snack (about an hour early), but on the way began to dry heave, so I went to the bathroom instead and stood with my head over the toilet until I calmed down. Then went and shoveled my

I ran my short loop yesterday while supper was in the oven, and I was only slightly nauseous while running - still though, that's a little bit . . . I feel slightly ill this morning, I wasn't totally hungry for breakfast b/c I felt full/icky, but I was

So I emailed my sorority saying I was still in the area and would be willing to help out in any way they needed me, and I got an email back from the current president saying that they had nominated me to be a co-advisor (they thought having 2 would reduce

I didn't walk last night, but I am going to run when I get home from work. I'm going to get supper in the oven and then run my short loop while it's cooking. Blackberries are starting to ripen, so I'm going to pick some this weekend. Still no AF, I've

Some background: I've always been one of those people who can't eat before they run (because I'll puke). I also have to eat within an hour or so of getting up or I feel sick with hunger. So I ran my long loop (3.7 miles) Sunday morning, and I started

Random things: 1. It is Monday, K and I have a ton to do at work, and we have to start training someone today (not that we know how). The next few weeks are going to be sooo fun (read heavy sarcasm). 2. I am a little sad about the BFN, but just a little

but I was kinda thinking it would be. I feel like I wasted a test, but I'm okay with it. I weighed 142 this morning, so I'm going to have to turn into a crazy fitness lady this month. DH just said "we'll have to keep trying." We went to Steppin' Out last

When I got home from work yesterday, I laid myself down on the couch and read some of my novel (for 1.5 hours). I told DH how tired I was, and he said "well maybe you're pregnant again." I told him we'll see. I was glad he seemed okay with the possibility.
