Grrr

Son of a B$@ch!!!! Not what I wanted to wake up to at 5:30. It’s ok, blow it off Becca. But seriously this ice all over the roads is gonna be the death of me! Ok. All you hardcore runners, I know what your thinking,”it’s beautiful, it’s challenging, just wear your Yaxtrax.” Yes, it’s beautiful. […]

Eight

It’s funny, I’ve realized we have entered an entire new club. Not the single fancy free club, not the romantic newly married club, not the sleep deprived baby phase. We are starting the full fledged middle aged plod along club. Today my son is eight. Wow. How in the world did my life get to […]

Crack Den

This snow, ice, whatever storm that has rolled through is really screwing with my plans for training domination. God bless this island, Walla Walla, and I love the snow, even the falling ice…but what the hell… Why no snow plows? I mean seriously. It snows every freaking winter and I can’t remember seeing the roads […]

Change of Plans

Woke up to this This is the first real snow we have had all year and it is beautiful! I love the change of seasons, especially the snow. It is so silent, so clean,and just so peaceful. I am only supposed to do three miles today and I didn’t really feel like going through the process of shoes, pants, […]

Wind Blows

Running in the wind sucks big time. It was so windy out today that I slowed down about 45 seconds per mile into head winds. Which then lead me into a panic attack about Eugene. Oh my god, I hadn’t even anticipated what the weather might be like on race day. What if I train […]

Guilt just doesn’t happen

First order of buisness, Happy Birthday to my sweet daughter! She really is sweet. We have not counted the numbers yet but I think we will donate over $1,000 to the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane. Secondly, I have felt guilty blogging the last number of days because if the woman who was missing and […]

Mickey D’s isn’t always the Devil

Our daughter was born 4 years ago this Saturday. This week we celebrate her birthday and her health by donating to the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane. She was born at one pound and eight ounces. I was 26.4 weeks along. It was a nightmare. You can read about it here if you like. Since […]

Dummy

Dang it! I’m still glad I left Blogger but there are still a ton if things I can’t figure out about WordPress. Hey I’m a hairstylist and “resturaunt” owner, not a numbers or computer person. I tend to run on feelings and premonitions, not helpful with the techy side of blogging. My blog isn’t showing […]

Seattle again

We came back to Seattle this weekend to participate in the Seattle Wedding Show. Part business part fun. Loving write-offs again. We brought the kids this time to get them off the island and show them that other worlds DO exist. We went to the Pacific Science Center Out of the blue ran into an […]

Dam its dark

I purposely set my alarm to an odd number like, 4:43 or 4:47. For some weird reason I would never set it to 4:45 because that just seems to planned and I’d probably hit the snooze button and end up being late. Weird. A morning person I am not! What the hell am I doing […]
