Ok, it was a miracle. Yesterday when I discovered my wet cell phone, I took out the battery and threw it all in my bag before I left for work. Low and behold around 2:00, I put it together and it WORKED!! I have a cell phone again. Not only that, but Jessica's arrived in the mail as well. I am totally set. I have a cell phone and a back-up! Yahoo. It is amazing how out of touch I felt without it. It is rather sad how much I rely on that thing.
Chris called late last night. We talked only briefly, but he fired all day yesterday. It was rather cold, but he passed the test.
I have to capture this on video, but Claire loves "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." We actually have both "5 Little Monkeys..." and "8 Little Monkeys..." books, but it is so cute. Chris and I had been doing the actions for awhile until one day she finally caught on and started waving her finger and saying "no more monkeys jumping on the bed." It is adorable. Definitely one memory to get on film. Melt my heart!

I still love that song and (not joking here) find myself singing it once in a while . . . The first time I did Josh looked at me like I had 8 heads and then asked me what I was singing - the things he must have missed as a child!

Anyone with an extra cell phone...send it to Kara. I think she may need a few backup phones. The lesson is...don't let Claire play with your phone.

I learned my lesson, but thanks. I now have a backup but it has limited battery power. I am holding out until June, although some friends claim that if I cried to Verizon, they'd crack me a deal. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point.

I too have an extra phone; actually 2 of them. I will hold it here so that it doesn't become subject to Claire but it will be here should you need it.

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 ...
