The diet begins...today!

So after seeing the photos from the lake this weekend, it's time to get myself back in the gym! I have been running the last few months as I trained for the OKC half marathon but my eating has been rediculous! Time to get that under control!

So, for posterity...here's a picture from our jet skiing adventure. Hopefully this will be the "Before" to my much slimmer (and tanner!) "After" pictures coming SOON!

Summer is HERE!!

We borrowed a Jet Ski from a friend for the weekend and headed out to ElDorado Lake with my bestest friend, Jamie and her family. We rode, swam, cooked out and just enjoyed the summer and our time together. Chris took a few spills and the day ended with about 20 feet of tow rope getting sucked into the impeller. But, we got her all fixed up today and are seriously considering getting in one more day on the water tomorrow.

Yay- summer is finally here!

I'm helping with a fundraising event for Eric Trogdon, a motocross rider from Oklahoma City who is currently kicking Cancer's butt!

Irritated...

NOTHING around my house works the way it is supposed to. *IF* I get a free moment without a child destroying something, crying, needing changed, fed, helped with homework or some other minor crisis.... I try to spend a few minutes doing something I enjoy. Working on photos, working in the garden, etc. BUT- I can never find what I need. And when I do find it, it's broken or missing a part or I can't find the cord to it. Grrr...

Some days I want to move to a deserted island where I can organize everything just so and nobody will touch it, or move it, or break it. On my island there would be rows of shelves and drawers and file cabinets. All perfectly organized. All labeled. All dusted and clean. I would know where everything is. I would sit down to do a project and everything I need would be right at my fingertips in perfect working order.

Hey- a girl can dream right?

I did it!

Marathon Weekend!

Well, this is it. 2 days away from my first ever 1/2 Marathon. I'll be running the Oklahoma City Memorial 1/2 Marathon to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society with the Team in Training.

It has been a great experience and I'm so excited for race day. Time to see if all my hard work has paid off!! I'll post pictures and my results here after we get back from OKC.

What's the story, Morning Glory?

Photographic evidence that I am not completely devoid of a green thumb! I planted some Morning Glory seeds in planters on my front porch to grow up the supports and vine around them. They are starting to come up along with the strawberry plants (50 of em!) that I planted a week or so ago.

Now if it will just dry out enough to get the rest of my garden tilled up and planted. Stupid Kansas spring!
