Opening Day



About a month ago, I had a bizarre, yet lovely dream that I was having a baby that looked like Jacoby Ellsbury. I said it was bizarre, but he is beautiful. Anyway, I shared this with Chris and his comment was something like, "is there something you aren't telling me?" Fast forward a month or so...we were shopping this weekend when Chris found a rack of kids' Red Sox gear. He found a shirt for Claire with Ellsbury's name and number on the back. He bought it with the intention of her wearing it on Opening Day, which was yesterday. However, there was one major glitch in his plan. He didn't share his wish with me--the one who picks out her clothes and dresses our child. Oopsie. Consequently, Claire didn't dawn her Red Sox gear. So sad. Chris thought it was intentional. I like to think it was a subconscious mistake.
The situation came back to bite me as Opening Day was postponed due to rain. Claire wore the shirt and her little pink Red Sox hat this morning. However, I had her saying, "Yankees," which put a damper on her Daddy's joy. Ha. Don't mess with me!
Chris wanted to take a picture to send to her Papa--a die hard Yankee fan, but I couldn't figure the camera out on my phone. Perhaps the baseball Gods were looking down. However, my actual camera worked. Here are the photos. Judging by Claire's face, I am not convinced she is pleased with her attire. Maybe we really do have a Yankee fan!!

Claire you are in fact the cutest little red sox fan ever. Perhaps the crabby face is because mom was making you say "Yankees" which is very much against your NE roots!

How did a family from ND get to be Yankees fans?? Don't you all need to root for a National League Team?

You'd think. My dad is a Yankee fan from when he was a young kid. He became one because of his grandfather. It is in our blood from way, way back.

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 ...
