Easter 2012

Our Easter bunny likes to hide the kids' baskets. They are usually hidden in pretty obvious places, but being the kids are getting a bit better "seekers," he got tricky this year. Claire searched and searched. Finally with some assistance via a job, she discovered her basket. She was quite surprised! Our bunny doesn't give much (if any) candy in their baskets. By the time Easter rolls around, we've typically done 1-2 egg hunts, plus we always do our own later in the afternoon. Instead, baskets are filled with little things. Both girls got a Hello Kitty pillowcase. They were beyond thrilled, but the real happiness came in the mail the next day--they each got money from Grammy & Papa. We had a deal with Claire where if she read 2 books fluently, we'd buy her the Hello Kitty blanket that she has been oogling for so long. Well, the kid pulled one over on us. She opened her card, pulled out her money and announced that she can go buy the blanket! Little bugger! We bought it on Monday. She was too darn cute. She said thank you in Korean, while bowing nice and low to the Korean shop keeper. (Thank you, Ms. Kim--you've taught her well :) The shop keeper just smiled, but my pride was bountiful.

Glad to see the new pics of the girls! Looks like Easter was fun! Ava got her hair cut last night and her ears pierced! Hard to believe she is almost 7! I see you are liquidating a bunch of stuff...at least I can keep up with you that way. Have a good day! Miss you guys! Any idea of travel plans for summer?

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 ...

Bouncing Crazyiness!

I do alot of online shopping. When you live overseas, you have to. The BX is thrilling, yes, but it changes out the merchandise only so often ;) When it comes to clothing, if you shop at the BX (which I do as well), you can be guaranteed that at least 3 other people will be seen in the same item. Take for example this little gray vest that I bought. The other day, 2 other teachers showed up in the same one. Thankfully, I hadn't worn mine that day, but you get the point. Anyway, several places do not ship overseas. That's where my Mom comes in. I typically have the stuff mailed to her house and she graciously mails it to us. Readdressing the boxes, running to the post office and mailing our stuff is a major pain. I know this, but she's been so great about it. Priority mail is the way to go. She generally mails it priority and we recieve it in a week to ten days. However, I ordered a "jumpy jump" as Claire calls it, well before Christmas. Since it was so heavy and s...

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 ...
