Shaggy D-A

 
 
 
 
Growing up, my Dad always used the phrase "Shaggy D-A" to refer to our unkept hair. The phrase seems fitting for this post. Our poor dog has been deprived, probably both of attention and hygeine. He hadn't gotten a haircut since September. It seemed kind of cruel shaving off his warm coat in the chill of winter, so we kept putting it off. It finally got to the point of necessity. Harvest was shedding hair all over our rugs, so it was time. Today was his day of pampering. We tried a new grooming place, which ended up to be the greatest deal yet. Typically we pay around $80 for each cut, simply because he gets a special bath, and the upgraded package. Today he got the same treatment for only $35! She usually charges $45, but because this was his first time, she gave us $10 off. It was awesome. We are certainly going back and we won't wait until the point of no return again. Isn't he handsome?

Yes, Shaggy D-A is very fitting--that is what I thought of when I saw him! Here is my lesson for the day---I before E except after C. In case you are wondering why I chose to share that---hygiene. Anyway, talk to you later!
Love ya,

You are a shmuck. As you probably or at least should have learned by now, I rarely take the time to proof-read these entries. I am lucky if I get the pictures posted in a timely manner, so here's to you, oh funny one---HYGEINE, HYGEINE, HYGEINE, HYGEINE. I bet that drove you crazy!!!

My god....he was shaggy! The pictures make it hard to tell, but does he have any hair left? Hunter got his second hair cut, we just trimmed his snout and around his eyes. WE are going to allow his tail and body to grow a bit, not as long as Harvests though. The one thing I can't stand is the gunk around Hunter's eyes. When we had Harvest I noticed he had it a little but Hunter's is terrible!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...
